Mr.. EDIToR:-There is already great
interest shown in Europe in behalf Of
poor flooded Szegedin, in Hungary.
Yesterdays papers report e. 900 sub

~ AS appears in another column,
John p. Phair to-day pays the penalty
Of his crime in spite of the many efforts
made by his counsel and some New Eli
gland papers to procure his release.
The Boston Globe has %endeavored
throughout to create a sensation and
cast a slur on Vermont justice, and now
a few persons of the Society of Friends
in the State of Maine, representing
themselves a committee on the abolition
of the death penalty, have issued what
they call al "of1cial document" in
which they accuse Vermont of the MUIR
der Of the prisoner and hold that he
has been denied, by the Supreme court,
q fair and just hearing, and that he is
the victim of a base conspiracy. The
document throughout holds the SUI
preme court in about the same light as
we would q bloodthirsty cannibal who
feeds upon'human flesh. A baser libel
on q state was eve penned. These
Quaker sentimentalists have filled their
heads with sensational Boston newspa-
per trash, %concocted by a set of lying re-
porters, and have deemed il honest his
tory. If those Friends of Maine, whose
very name indicates them enc mics of
capital punishment, know more about
the guilt and innocence of Phair than
the courts which tried him, knowing
well their responsibility, listening to the
whole mass of testimony which the in
gennity Of an able counsel could sum-
mon, then why not invite them to step
up while u judges step down and ont
Phair has had an impartial trial and has
been found guilty of murder in the first
degree by ajury oftwelve unprecedented
men. The laws of the state say that for
this crime he must die; and there is no
other alternative for the court but to
see that the law is carried out. WHY
then was this insane attack made upon
our courts when they only take excep-
ton to the laws by which the courts
are g%oyerned5 1t is al unequal contest
on N side are the laws, judges of long
experience, skilled In the administra-
ton of justice, unbiased, humane and
upright. On the other side, a squad Of
Quaker fanatics, egotistical, hot-headed
and misinformed. We would simply
inform those Maine Friends that if they
will attend to the murderers of their
own state, who certainly need very
earnest attention, and see that justice is
done at home, we will endeavor TO see
that Vermont criminals arc favored to
the extent of the law and no more, and
when their crimes are proved, we ex-
pect them to suffer the full penalty OF
the law.

UNews came this morning that Phair
Is again reprieved. A dispatch was re-
ceived at Windsor last evening at 9:2O
from Governor Proctor, granting a re-
prieve for six days; a written reprieve
to follow shortly. The respite rests
upon the affidavit Of NJ. D. Downing
