On the Slate.

The report that the Republican state
convention for next year had been al
ready held in Washington, and had nom.
mated Beaver for governor, quite nat
urally attracted Hon. Thos. V. Cooper
and Gen. James A. Beaver to that Gen.
tire of Pennsylvania politics-one conf
dent that it couldn't he true, and the
other hopeful that it was. There the Press
correspondent found them in each others
company, and Simon Cameron sitting
close at hand and the Press reporter
tells his readers he "asked General
Beaver, as the person most likely to
possess accurate information, what truth
there was in the statement recently pub
lished that conference Of Stalwart
leaders was held here on Thursday last,
at which it was agreed that General
Beaver should be made tue candidate of
the Republicans of Pennsylvania for gov-
ernor." To such innocent queries the
party addressed answered that there
wasn't word of truth in it, that he is
as much opposed to bossism as anybody,
don't want any nomination except from
the people, and wants to he the candi-
date of no faction. All Of this is sent
out to give encouragement to the Inde-
pcndents-and to help Beavers nOmina-
ton. He knows that he is to be the
Cameron candidate; the whole body of
Stalwarts in this state know it, and
everybody knows that they 80 for no
man without knowing him and his value
to them. All this being predeter-
mined, it is his policy and theirs to pick
up all the outside support he can get
and by all the specious devices they can
use. Since the Chicago convention, for
services there rendered, he has been
slated for governor. The fertile Cooper,
who wants the place for himself, invent
ell the scheme to get Beaver out of his
own path by making him senator, but it
miscarried. The Independents wouldn't
take Beaver for the simple reason that
he was the Cameron candidate they
finally took a man, no better, simply be-
cause they thought they had nominated
him. There is every reason to reject
Beaver how that there was then. But
the Press already shows signs Of weak
cning and of leading the "Citzens a
jack-O-lanterll chase into the Stalwart
Guagmirc.

petition ofC. II. Heath and Hiram Carleton,
attorneys for Royal : Carr, now under SEN
tence of death, 10 he executed April 80
1881, fol- numbering half-breed Indian. He
was convicted in September, 1879, and the
case passed to the Supreme Court at the Au-
gust term. No causes were heard in Au-
gust, but the term was continued till octo-
Der, after the General Assembly had CON
vened, and Carr was sentenced dur
ing the session of the Legislature
of 1850, October 23rd, Judge Bar
rett pronouncing sentence. The pct
TONERS asked for IA reprieve till after Janu-
ary /, 1855. that full session of the Legis-
lature might intervene. The main ground
for asking the rcprieve was that no session of
the Legislature has interviewed since sentence
was passed, as the petitioners claim the STINT

Attorney, who prosecuted Carr appeared for
the State. The State claimed that proper
construction of the law is that the criminal
might have had an opportunity TO apply To
the Legislature, which Carr had, having two
months of legislative session after sentence,
and he did so apply. His case was care
fully examined by special committee and
Communication was refused, Carr having con-
fessed his crime in detail to that committee.
Governor Farnham having carefully consid-
cred the question with Judge Redtield, gave
his decision Friday morning. He decided
that the fact of the court having passed SEN
tence in the way and at the time stated, its
judgment ought not to be disturbed 4; that on

STUDENT OF PHILLIPS ACADEMY KILLED
WHILE ATTEMPTING BURGLAEY.
The town of Andover, Mass, is greatly
excited over the fatal shooting of II burglar,
who proved TO be an Andover boy, and Il
student in Phillips Academy Of that town,
pursuing his studies pre-. artt"ry L. "ntering
Andover Theological Seminary. between
and O'Clock Wednesday morning, Abel
Wilson, wealthy bachelor residing alone in
North Andover, was awakened by the door
OF his chamber being pushed open, upsetting
an iron sink which he had placed against it
for protection. He seized his rifle, which
was standing near the bed, and fired through
the panel Of the door, without seeing his as
salants. They fled, and Mr. Wilson soon
followed and about 120 feet from the house
found the body of a young man behind a
stone wall. The body proved to be that of
Arthur Foster. student at Phillips Acad-
cmy. He had been shot in the left arm, the
ball passing into his chest and through the
lung, causing death by internal hemorrhage.
A few minutes later Luther Foster, twin
brother Of the killed burglar, appeared on
the scene and confessed that he and Arthur
had conspired to rob the house He said
his brother fell dead after jumping from the
window, and that he dragged his inanimate
form to the place where it was
found, behind the stone wall, and
then called his brother-in-law and told him
of the affair. lie has confessed that
he and his brother entered and robbed old
Mr.. Wilson's place six months ago, secur-
ing one thousand dollars in money and 4
gold watch. Mr.. Wilson had in his room
some seventy five thousand dollars in stocks,
bonds and other securities. The object of the
young men was 10 secure this booty. Both
had previously been in Mr. Wilson's employ
about the farm, and 50 were able to enter
the house without an alarm being given BY
the watch dog outside.
On the floor in Mr. Wilson's room was
found a revolver, Il box of pepper, and a
heavy iron poker, making it evident that it
was the intention of the young men to resort
to violence To gain possession of Mr. Viii
sons money. The young men are respecta-
bly, connected. Their parents reside in North
Andovcr. near Georgetown, and are among
the most respected people in the town. The
surviving brother has been taken TO Jail at
Lawrence. Mr.. Wilson, although of a very
cxcitabe temperament, having been insane
on several occasions, is fully justified in his
act by the townspeople. The two brothers
are 81 years old. They have been regarded
as rather wild young fellows but have not
been suspected of any crime
