| rooms. Governor johnson declared
the vigilantes rebels and insurrec-
tionists, but was powerless to stop
them. Many of the thieves and
other scoundrels fed, though the
work of the vigilantes had hardly
begun. On Sunday, May s, 1859,
three taps were sounded in the bell
on the roof Of the committee rooms,
and the vigilantes came t. head
quarters, 5000 strong. They were
completely organized and fully
armed. Everybody understood what
was going TO happen as two compa
nies marched to the Jail. Sheriff
Scannell at first refused to give
up Casey and Cora, whose surren-
der was demand, but finally did so.
These men were brought immedi
ately to trial in the court room OF
the vigilantes. They were allowed
witnesses and counsel, and the trial
was conducted with fairness, eX-
cept all technicalities were ruled
out. No names were used in this
trial, the judge, jury and officers OF
the court being designated by num-
bers. The mistress Of Cora offered
reward of 100000 to the man
who should save tue life of that
person, but to no avail. Mr.. Di-
vine says:
On The 22d day of May, Casey
and Cora. after a fair trial, were
hanged from the windows of the
committee rooms. A beam of wood
projected from above each of the
two windows, from which dangled
a rope. A plank was at the foot
of each of the two windows, and on
each plank stood a condemned
man-Casey on one, Cora on the
other. They were not blindfolded.
The funeral of King took place the
same day. 1t was passing down
Montgomery street just as the final
arrangements in the tragedy in
which these two men formed the
awful central figures were being
completed. AS the hearse crossed
SAMSON street, standing on the
boards at the windows, their heads
IN the moose, they could plainly see
the sombre vehicle as it drew its
dread ed length along. As it cross
ed the street and receded from
sight, the boards fell from beneath
their feet. AS a stroke of retribu-
tive justice, l hardly think that can
be excelled.
Among others arrested by the !
was Yankee Sullivan, the |
prizefighter, who committed suicide |
in his cell. Two other men were
hanged-Brace, a hackman, known
to be guilty Of fourteen murders,
and Hetherington, who killed DR. i
Randall, and who was arrested by |
the vigilantes before he had turned |
away from his victim. The case of
United States Judge Terry is re-
called. A man named Hopkins
was ordered by "thirty-three" to
arrest an old offender, and was in
terfered with by Terry while max
ing the arrest. Terry finally stabbed |
Hopkins in the neck, and was I'M
medIately arrested by the vigilan-
teS, who retained control of him |
until Hopkins recovery. though |
The place was threatened with bonn
Dardment by a United States war
vessel. Terry will be remembered
Is the wretch who afterwaid shot
Senator David Broderick in a duel
as deliberate and cold -bloOded a
murder as was was ever perpe-
rated.
All this was twenty-four years
lgo, and Mr.. Divine looks for a
'epetition of the bloody SCIENCES of
that period; but it is quite likely
hat the recent election in San
Franc SEQ will make the reorgani-
zation of the vigilantes unneces
,ary.

Not in the Bargain.

mSLIphlo AppSdl'
In buying the Nashville and
Chattanooga railroad, the Louis
vile, Nashville and Great Southern
railroad company bought more
than perhaps it intended. 1t be-
came responsible for it's debts, and
there may be more of these than
they were aware of when they made
the gobble. The Nashville and
Chattanooga road owes the United
States government one million dol
lars, with several years interest at
four per cent. This was for rolling
stock purchased from the govern
ment in 1865. The debt was origi-
nally nearly two million dollars,
but by compromise nearly one-half
has been thrown off. leaving the
road owing one million dollars and
interest, for which the government
holds the obligations of the compa-
ny. 1t is believed that this was not
known at the time the Louisville
company made the purchase.

MangIed Human Flesh.

A terrible explosion occurred at
nitro o-glycerine mandatory at
Berkely, California, last week, kill
ing great number of men, women
and children and mangling their
bodies in a fearful manner. The
explosion took place in the maya
zine, a brick structure, in which
were stored about six thousand
pounds of giant powder cartridges.
The San Francisco Chronicle thus
describes the scene after the Gisas-
ter:
The reporter saw a number of
men, women and boys searching
the hillsldes. the ruins and adjacent
marsh-land and bay shore, picking
up pieces of flesh that had been
torn from the men killed, and put
ting them into bags or pieces of
mating and in boxes. At ten
o'clock the coroner took to Oak
land about three hundred pounds
of pieces of human flesh and bones.
The nearest semblance to humani-
ty found was the body of a China
man, minus the head and one leg
and a portion of the left side.
Strange to say, nearly all the pig
tails of the Cinnamon killed were
found uninjured. Some of them
had pieces of the skin of the skull
attached, but nothing like a human
skull or even a piece of one. The
remnants were assorted by Mr.,
Spear, assistant TO Coroner Hamil-
ton, who tried to arrange the vari-
Gus pieces in forms of bodies; but
after finding only three feet to a
hundred pieces of flesh and bones,
he was compelled to forego his
work, and then simply laid them
out on a. board. Al the works
yesterday a piece of tee horse
blown away was found on the
marsh three hundred yards from
where he was standing when the
explosion took place, and his tail
vas found half that distance in al
opposite direction.

LONGING FOR REST.
BY FATHER RYAN.


Ny feet are wearied and my hands are tired
My soul oppressed
And with desire have longed, desired,
Rest-only rest.
'Tis hard to toll, when toll is almost vain
In barren ways;
'Tis hard to SOW and never garner grain
In har' est days.
The burden of my days is hard to bear
But God knows best;
And l have prayed, but vain has been my
prayer,
Fer rest sweet rest.
IT'S hard to plant in spring and never reap
The autumn yield;
'Tis hard to till-and when tits tiled to weep
O'er fruitless field.
And so cry, weak and human cry,
So heart t-oppressei;
And so l sigh, weak and human sigh,
tor rest sweet rest.
My way has wound across the desert years,
And cares infest
Ny path; and through the flowing of hot tears
pine for rest.
Twas always so; when still child, laid
On mothers breast
My wearied little head: cen then l prayed,
As now, for rest.
And am restless still; twill soon be DER
For down the west
Life's sun is setting, and l see the shore
Where shall rest.

Decoration Day in the South.

Chattanooga Times: There was
beautiful union o: the blue and
the gray in the memorial exercises
over the Confederate dead at Allan
ia, Monday. General Henry Hunt
of the Fifth artillery, and other
officers were prominent among per-
sons on the stand, while the band
of that regiment headed the pro-
cession, There was great cnthusi-
asm. Thousands of ladies and
children decked the graves of
eight thousand Confederate dead.
Colonel Hoge read a poem written
by Mississippi lady for the occa-
sion. The day was also appropri-
ately observed at Macon, Savan-
nah, Augusta, and other southern
cities, where imposing ceremonies
were had. Chattanooga will OBJ
serve May 10th as memorial day.
