"THOSE BRIGADIERS.r

II the Union soldiers while sighting to put
down the rebellion could have foreseen that In
1879 there would be nineteen ex Confederate OH
GERS In the Senate Of the United States and only
four men who risksd their lives for the old flag.
they would have been Almost sxeusable II they
had grounded arms aud refused 10 SIGHT for
country destined so soon to honor Its betrayers
more than its defsnders-N y. TSibnms.
The reason why such a large mum.
ber of the Southern representatives in
Congress happen to have been Confed-
crate soldiers is that during the war
of the rebellion, the brains and culture
of the South went to the front to fight.
However mistaken their cause, they
were willing to show their devotion to
it by risking their lives for it. Their
soldiers represented such large and,
by all odds, such a respectable portion
Of their community, that in the selec.
tion of representatives they must needs
be confined largely to ex-Confederate
soldiers. In the North il is quite diff
ferent, Many Of the loudest-mouthed
loyalists had no taste tor fighting.
They were and ever since have been
vigorous in their assertions Of patriot
ism, but they snuffed the battle from
afar. Mr.. Blaine, for instance, rather
than prove his faith by his works, sent
q substitute who got into the Provost
Marshals office and from there was
promoted to the penitentiary. The
Camerons about that time were more
interested in getting army contracts
for themselves and their friends than
setting squadrons in the field. Mr..
Conkling's beautiful figure was, we be-
lieve, never exposed as target for
rebel bullets. Zach Chandler has told
us only how his back was turned to
the enemy. Dawes and Hoar were
both in the prime of life when the war
broke out, but neither ever buckled on
the sword. And so of the rest ofthem.
Had they been as brave and honest
for their professed convictions as their
Southern colleagues, the roll call of
Union Generals would find mora to
answer to it,-Ldncdster Intelligencer.

The SpEAKERsHIp.--0ne Of the queer
things that happened in the Demo
cratic caucus for Speaker, was the fact
that Messrs Randall and Blackburn
bad exactly the same fgures--75 and
57. The friends Of the former had the
seven set before the Eve, and that is
what sent the latter to the rear.

EXECUTION OF soIoyIIrr,

LONDON, June IA dispatch from 81.
Petersburg says: Alexander SOlOvief was
executed to-day at 8 o'clock In the after.
noon. His condemnation was regarded as
certain, bu' 1t was not generally supposed
that his execution would be 30 speedy.
His trial, which took place yesterday, was
conducted in neof the rooms Of the Great
Citadel Of st. Peler aud st. Paul, which
overlooks the city. The proceedings were
very formal, but were directed chiefly for
the purpose Of extOrting from SolOvieff
confessions respecting his accOmplices and
the supposed orders under which he acted.
The proceedings in the tribunal were So.
cret, but It is understood that the prisoner
persisted in refusing to make any state.
ment respecting either his motives or his
accomplices.
"Some OF the scenes OF the trial were
extremely painful. The brother and two
sisters Of Solovietr were compelled to ap.
pear as witnesses, and the testimony ex.
torted from them tended to convict their
brother, whose guilt, however, was SELF
confessed. The agony OF. his sisters was
extremely painful to witness. The evi.
dence having been given, the Court, after
brlei deliberatton, pronounced sentence.
They in the first place declared that Alex
ander SOl0vieif was u parricide. He had
soughtto slay his father, the Gear, who
was the father Of all Russians. For this
crime he was TO be deprived OF all his
civil rights. This means that he as to be
considered as one incapable Of inheriting
or transmitting property, 81 that his heirs
can take nothing BY his death. Then he
was sentenced To death, and It was to be
carried out immediately-that is. he was
to be hung at o'clock ihisatternOon.
solovief has preserved a remarkable de-
gree OF compOsure during all these pro-
traCted proceedings, but upon hearing
that his death was so near he trembled.
He soon recovered his composure, and
was apparently the least agitated OF any
person in the Court room when he WAS
led away to prepare for his death. He was
executed at five o'clock and on the scafold
he maintained the same composure which
he had manifested during his trial. He
was thirty years old, and was a man OF
education and culture. His wife is said to
be dying from nervous exhaustion"

Tho Frost salurday Morning.

There was a heavy frost in this region
on Friday night, and before daylight on
Saturday morning the thermometer went
down on the hills (so We are informed) to
So degrees, or within degrees Of freezing
No special damage is reported however up
TO this time. Along the river bottoms and
even on the hills there was a heavy fog
that prevented damage that might have
otherwise resulted.
The following kilograms show the effects
Of the cold wave at other points.

last night did much damage in the south
part OF this county.

aged considerably.
DETROIT, MIcH., June 7.-Dispatches re-
ceived this morning announce heavy frosts
in Kent, Allegan and Mason counties, and
in Calhoun county the formation OF ice.
The cold must have extended over other
counties, which have not yet reported,
and the damage to crops, especially wheat
and corn, isprohably very great.
MANSFIELD, O., June IA heavy frost
occurred last night, doing considerable
damage to the corn in the low lands, and
also injnring vegetables to large extent
This section was visited by very heavy
frost this morning. Grapes, raspberries
and garden vegetables were slightly in
Ijured, and corn and potatoes in some 10.
calities nipped. Wheat and fruit, it is
thought, escaped uniniured. There was
a heavy frost last night which irOze the
corn and other crops on low ground to q
great extent in this locality.
MILWAUKEE, June 7.-Reports received
from the interior indicate that the frost
which fell last night was quite general
throughout the State, and was OF a serious.
ly damaging character. Corn, potatoes
vines and vegetables were cut to the
ground, and either wholly destroyed or SC
seriously injured as to insure material
reduction In yield. At Forest Ilous(
