FROM RICHMOND.

Especial Correspondence Of the Alex. Gazette
RICHMOND. April 2D.-Anothcr effort was
made TO win Mr.. Hale over last night, the
attempt being this time to get him to agree
TO vote for Il recess, but this he declined to
agree to.
Some members are now already leaving
and from present Indications Il good many
will not be in their seats by Monday next
No resolution WAS introduced providing for
an adjournment sine die. II is anticipatcd
that Governor Cameron when the last day
OF the session arrives will havea lewpartino
words to address to the Legislature. The
Governor, however, is in very awkward
fix for he knows if he calls the Legislature
again in extra session that act will be he
You'd all precedent, especially as the recent
act Of Congress provides Just how. in the
event of Il legislature adjourninc without
making provision for CARRYING out the pro-
visions of the new law. the additional Con-
gresham is to he selected-namely, from the
State AT large. Therefore it is plain that if
he calls the Legislature again in extra scs-
sion it will be for partizan purposes. Thus,
too, the State Of Virginia. especially accord
ing to the platform Of the Mahoneites, is not
as rich as it might be, and the sum of forty
or htty thousansand dollars, the cost of all
extra session will be 81 very heavy draw on
the treasury.
1t IS said cX-Auditor Massey will be run
by his friends rs Congressman ut large
from the State and that he will make the

people
The Mahoneites will have great trouble

the stump.

i've The Boss would like to have them
down and trample upon them, but this must
all be kept back for the present. A little more
of the leaven of love will be tried first. But
the cry everywhere i, now 'the firm five
are still solid"
A well-khown Muhoneite (who is how
ever leaning from the readjuster party said
to-day, we have made grave mistakes and
1t Is now too late to repair them. The mis-
take was IN having an extra session at all.
we ought to have passed the apportionment
Dill at the beginning Of the regular session. :"
Others think they made great mistake in
not standing up with Massey in the outset
OF his fight against ring rule
More than one of the Mahoneites look
with longing eyes to the independent places
now occupied by the firm five" and would
like to go before the people with the fine
record made by the five Senators.
The resolution for a recess was defeated
as everybody knew it would be. It is to be
doubted whether good many of the House
Mahonetes who voted for it were not very
much relieved when the Senate rejected it.
Certainly when its rejection was reported to
the House to-day there was no disappoint-
ment seen upon the countcnances Of those
VINO mad voted for it. STRoNGBOw.

Execution of Siudram.

NEW YORK, April 2l.--WiIliam Sindram,
the murderer of Mrs. Crave was executed
this morning at the city prison at 1886. He
remained firm to the last, Sindram passed
the early part Of the night in playing cards
with the boy burglar and murderer McGloin.
After this he went to bed and appeared to
sleep soundly until after six o'clock. He ate
hearty breakfast and manifested no emo
ton over his approaching fate. AT IS min
utcs after eight o'clock he was led out to ex-
ccution. While the sheriff was reading the
death-warrant the eNecutioncr pinioned the
arms of the condemned and placed the fatal
moose about his neck. Sindram did not
finch. There was determined and set
expression on his contenance When the drop
fell the body worked convulsivcly for sever
al minutes. His heart ceased beating in II
minutes and he was pronounced dead. His
neck was not broken and he died of stfangl-
lation after prOtracted struggles.

The Mocking Bird.


If there be any one thing that serves to
break the monotony of country life, and
sheds ray of glory along the path of the
weary pilgrim, il is the mclodous roundelay
Of the hooking bird.
The poets Of all countries, u portravinp
the beauties of nature, are prone to wander
10 some oriental scene, where meath the
mystic sheen OF an Arabian moon, sweet in
cense Is borne TO the languishing spirit upon
the wings Of the spicy gale; or, mayhap.
they allSht upon the classic plains of Attica,
where MID the groves Of citron and forests
OF bay the nightingale is wont to sweep the
chords OF his enchanting Tyre; yet. methinks
II the pen could but give u full and faithful
description OF the lngual powers ofourmock-
ing bird as he exercises them among the leafy
bowers of America, he would be found r.
eclipse anything that exists in the sunny
chimes of the far famed East.
If variety is the spice of life y it isno less
the soul Of music and where can be found
scale more varied, or notes more ture-
fully arranged, than in the song of this little
denizen of our forests? matter whether
heard in the house-grove or wildwood
whether perched upon the tall poplar or
among the clustering elms, his song is ever
surprisingly beautiful
If there be any who are skeptical as to the
musical attainment of natures champion
vocalists: would say to them. go forth in
the glorious spring time and seek him in his
native haunts. and your doubts will vanish
even as night retreateth upon the approach
OF Auroras golden train, tor,if there lives
creature that can render us degenerate
mortals an idea of the palmy days Of Eden

liberal that it censures the republicans of

for postponing the consideration of Il con-
tested election case fora day or two in or
der that the democratic member ofthc sub
committee TO whom the case was referred
and who is now sick at home, might have
time to return. There is nothing so illhcral
