A Double Hanging In the Jail
Yard OF Two Brutal MUIR
derers.

ST.. LOUIS. April 23.- Edward Nu.
gent and Henry J. Redemyer were
hanged in the city Jail yard at three
minutes past 8 this morning. Nugent
shot his wife on the 10th of August,
1876, while both were under the inhu-
ence of liquor. Redemyer's victim
was Franz Vosse, a respectable
old builder. The homicide was COM
mitted August 18th, '7S, and was 50
utterly wanton and motiveless that the
murderer'S sanity has been questioned
Nugent's children and other relatives
spent the greater part of the night
with him, saying good-by about l am.
He laid down at two and'slept till FIVE,
when he dressed and passed some time
with Father Burke. Redemyer has
shown utter indifference to his fate,
protesting that he had not had a fair
trial. Within an hour of his death
he sent for Nugents confessor ex-
pressed desire to become
Catholic, and was baptized in
that faith. The death warrants
we're read in the cells, and the men
went to the scafold at 7.30. Nugent
simply said he was at peace with all
the world, and, he hoped, with hea-
ven. He was ready. Redemyer said
Il have not had fair trial. My
lawyers did not do their duty or |
would not be here now" and he then
stepped directly under the moose.
Nugent assisted in fixing the black
cap over his own head. Both men
died without a struggle. Nugent had
no pulse after nine minutes, and Rede-
myers failed at twelve minutes,

NoRrHERN Love ToR THE NEGRO.

The colored people who left Phil
lips county, Arkansas, and passed by
Memphis on their way to Liberia
month or two ago, have come to grief
and fallen into disrepute. As soon as
they reached New York it was given
out by some of the sentimental haters
of the south that they we're the vic
tins of persecution in Arkansas, and
were fleeing. like the Puritan pilgrims
Of old, to a land Of liberty, where they
could exercise the rights Of ireemcn.
1t was stated in the leading papers
that they had been forced to abandon
'their property aud fee for their lives.
No New York daily has had the fair
ness or decency to correct this manu-
factured SANDER. But it seems that
public interest died out soon, or the
fraud was discovered, and the pre-
tended friends of the down -trOdden
African expended their sympathy
mostly in words. These ne
groes had plenty of money
when they passed here, but the most
of them spent it foolishly, or were
swindled out of it by their new-found
friends. There is a contingent fund
among them yet, in the hands of few
perhaps the rascals who got up the
movement for their own beneft-but
it is hard to get at. The New York
Telegram gives a deplorable account
of the condition of the
most Of these people. Sickness
has broken out among them and sew
eral deaths have occurred. 1t will be
several weeks if not months before
they can sail for Liberia, and mean
time they are oil huddled together in
four close filthy rooms. One hundred
and forty of them eat at one table in
room 27x35 feet. This room is also
kitchen and sleeping room, men,
women and children occupying the
bunkson eachside Of the table atnight.
A poor old man named james Olob-
ton, or Clopton, died the other day,
and the body was hurried off to the
grave without any services or even q
prayer at the house or at the grave.
A pig or rotten sheep could not have
been handled more unceremoniously,

on the cOmmonest and cheapest
food. 1t costs twelve dollars a
day to feed the crowd, or about nine
cents head. And this right under
the shadow of the New York Tribune
and Times and Herald-papers which
devote whole columns to the mis-.
treatment of southern negroes by the
whites, yet have not cent or a bone
to give when cases of real distress
are laid at their doors. No
better Illustration could be
had Of the hollowness and
mockery Of the pretended sympathy
Of northern people for the negroes. If
these so-called refugees were needed
as voters they would lack for nothing.
The republican leaders would provide
for all their wants and charge it up to
the account Of philanthropy. The
colored people ofthe south are find
ing out what kind Of friends they have
at the north. The crowds who are
passing Memphis on theirreturn, daily,
from Kansas, tell the tale by their
looks if they never said word.

The CinoinnalI Convention.

Special to COuricr-JourpalL
WASHINGTON, April 2l,-Ex- Sen
ator Barnum, Of Connecticut, chair
man of the demOoratio national
committee, referring to the refusal of
the Cincinnati common council to
grant adequate telegraphic facilities
to the hall in which the democratic
convention is to be held, said last
night before leaving for New York
that he would give the common coun-
Gil sufficient time to change its de-
cisiOn aud to permit the necessary
facilities to be Supplied by the teIe-
graph companies; but that if the
council should still refuse he (Bar-
num) would summon the national
committee, and different place would
be selected for the holding Of the con-
ventiOn. Barnum seemed to be very
much in earnest in this matter,
