The ExecutiOner's Revenge.

Our Partisan contemporary, the FL
CARO-, has lately told terrible story of a
headsman's revenge. Fourteen wears AGO
the murderer Alvinain was condemned to
death. When, on the morning of his ex-
ecution, ''MonsieUr de Paris" entered
the cell for the purpose of making his
usual preparations for conveying him to.
the scaffold, the cul prit received him with
an outburst of abuse, couched in the
foulest imaginable language, to which
the 'fexectioner of high works" listened
impassively, apparently paying no atten-
ton to the torrent of insults and impre-
cations that flowed from Alvinain's lips.
Arrived upon the scaffold however. he
bound his ''patient" to the plank, and
then deliberately lowered the death-deal
ing knife to within few inches of the
murderer's neck, examined it's edge.
raised it again to its usual height, and
finally loosened the catch with the GUS
tomary result. AS the remains of the de-
capitated assassin we're being removed
from the scaffold one of the officials
present observed to the executioner that
he had not performed his task as quick as
usual. "No," replied the latter, with an
indescribable smile, 81 let him wait a
little. Experience had taught the prac-
ticed headsman how dire is the agony of
the last few moments preceding the
dreadful passage from life to death; so,
mindful Of the wrong inflicted upon him
by the doomed mans insults, he avenged
the outrage with hideous completeness by
letting him wait little

rests when crimes are committed IN their pres
ence. What powers they have are confined to
the precincts in which they reside. Outside of
tAe precincts fer which they are appointed, the
Deputy Marshals Of this bill cannot keep the
peace, make arrests, hold prisoners, take pris-
oners before proper tribunal for hearing, nor
perform any other duty No oaths of Office are
required of them, and they give no bond thew
nave no superior who is responsible for them,
and they are not punishable for neglect of duty
or misconduct in office.
:, In all these respect this bill makes radical
cE o OeGWeen the powers of the United States,
ofncers at national elections and the powers
uniformly possessed and exercised bv State,
officers at State elections. This discrimination
against the authority of the United States is
departure from usage of the Government es-
tablished by presidents beginning with the,
earliest statutes on the subject and violates,
the true principles of the constitution.
The Supreme Court, in decision already re-
terred to, says: SIT is argued that the preser-
Walton OF peace and good order in society is not
Within the powers confided to the Government
OF the United States, but belongs exclusively to
states. Here again we are met with the theory
that the Government of the United States does
not rest upon the soil and territory of country.
we think that this theory is founded
on an entire misconception of the ma
ture and powers of that Government.
that the Government of the United States may.
by means of physical force, exercised through,
It's official agents, execute on every foot of
American soil the powers and functions that
belong to 1t, This necessarily involves the
power to command obedience to the laws. and
hence the power to keep the peace to,
that extent. This power to enforce its
laws and execute its functions in all
places does not derogate from the power of g.
State to execute its laws at the same time and
in the same place. The one does not exclude
the other, except where both cannot be ex-
ecuted at the same time. In that case the
words of the constitution itself show which is
to yield: This constitution, and all laws
which shall be made in pursuance thereof shall
be the supreme laws of the land"
In conclusion, it is proper to say that no OBJ
lection would be made to the appointment of
officers to act with reference to elections by the
courts of the United States, and that am
in favor of appointing officers to supervise and
protect elections without regard to party.
But the bill before me, while it recognizes the
power and duty of the United States to provide
officers to guard and scrutiniz Congressional
elections, fails to adapt lis provisions to the
existing laws so as to secure efficient supervi-
sion and protection. 1t is, therefore, returned
to the Senate, in which it originated, for that
further consideration which is contemplated by
the constitution. RUTHERFORD B. HAYES.

church going and edifices is almost dis
dispensed with. The Rev. DR.. Turgid,
from the central edifce of the Sacred
Telephone, breaches every Sunday to five
thousand families of his persuasion in the
privacy of their homes. The musical

mental, are also dispensed by telephones,
and as waited to the five thousand homes
by electricity each family joins in the
hymn. The average attention to service
is much greater now than quarter of a
century since, as the ladies have not each

Previous Dissensions.
indianapolis Journal.1


In 1860 there was a severe and prolonged
contest at Chicago, mainly between Seward
and Lincoln, resulting finally in the nomina-
ton OF the latter. At the time the friends of
Seward felt very!sore, but they soon fell into
line. In 1864 there was strong opposition to
the denomination of Mr.. Lincoln. The oppo-
sition to Mr.. Lincoln rallied on Mr.. Chase,
and very determined effort was made to an
tagonize Mr.. Lincoln with his Secretary # the
Tr, asury. In connection with this movement,
an effort was made to obtain postponement
of the Republican Convention which was ap-
pointed to be held at Baltimore on the 7th of
June, circular to that effect being signed by
William Cullen Bryant and other leading Re.
pubicans of New York, and approved by tn
New York Tribune. In May, 1864, a call was
issued>6y peoples provisional committee for
a convention of radical Republicans to meet in
Cleveland on the 31st of that month. This
convention met and nominated i(ieneral Ere
mont for President and John Cochrane of New
York for Vice President Yet after the NOM
ination of Lincoln, at Baltimore, the opposi-
tion to him all melted away and he was ell cted
by an overwhelming majority Again, in 1872
there was strong opposition to the renomina-
vention of liberal Republicans at Cincinnati,
at which Senator Carl Schurz presided. This
convention was largely attended, and the
movement was regarded as very formidable by
many Republicans. 1t nominated Mr. Greeley
for President and B. Gratz Brown for Vice
President, and these nominations were sub.
sequently Endorsed BY the Democratic national
convention. A colored liberal Republican
convention was held in Louisville in Septem-
ber, 1872, at which every State and Territory
was represented, and this convention nomin-
ated Greeley and Brown. The labor-reform
party held a convention III August, at v hich it
was declared that "under no circumstances
will we support either Grant or Greeley" :"
These various movements were hostile to Gem
eral Grant, and were thought by many to fore
shadow his defeat. Yet when the election
came General Grant carried thirty one states
and had popular majority of 762,o01. The
previous dissensions and opposition amounted
to nothing practically. These facts arc cited
to show that unanimity in the selection of its
candidates has not been the rule in the Rcpu5-
lican party and that it has never been weak
eneG by preliminary contests for the nomina;
tion. Our prediction is that the action of the
Chicago convention will clear up the political
atmosphere, and three months from now the
incidents of the violent contest now going on
far the nomination will be remembered only
as events OF ancient history.

HARTFORD Post: In all of this late dis
cussion over candidates there has been a
good deal said about the Independent vote
the Republican vote which is liable to drift
around ON raft of its own; and the i'm
portance of making nomination to hold
this vote together has been vigorously urged.
This is all right of course. But what about
making nomination to suit the other Re-
publicans who rather like to vote for Repub-
licans every time?

ALBANY Journal: The fairly constituted
majority of the Convention must rule,
whether it decides for or against the casting
OF votes as unit On all other questions
as on the nomination itself-there should be
no "bolting'' from the decisions of the ma
Jority. But all the steps that lead up to that
majority must be so fair as to escape criti-
cism. With no suspicion thrown about the
manner OF the nomination there should be
no afterthought among Republicans, as to
the candidate. A majority, fairly consti-
tuted, will name the next President at Chi
cago.
