PARTISAN CIVILIZATION.
Curious Method of Conducting a Trial
for Murder.
The Partisan.

Inc
Many writers have asserted that France is
the center Of civilization, and Victor Hugo
has often declared that Paris was the heart
OF the world, and that its pulsations were
felt at the end of the earth. A circumstance
took place on Thursday, the 22d ultimo,
which will, at all events, shake the faith of
many in this boosted civilization. The facts
concerning the murder of the young phar-
macien, Aubert, are by this time familiar to
all; the sssassins have confessed their crime,
but have only obscurely alluded to the
motive, and the public thought the matter
was al rest for a while-at all events, till the
trial, which is fixed for early day in Au-
gust. But an old and almost obsolete GUS
tom, or rather barbarian, has been revived,
and on the aforementioned day the murder
ers were taken from their cells at Versailles
TO the scene of the crime, No. Rue d'Espre-
menil, at Chaton, and there made to
re-enact, IN all their horrible and
minute details, the different phi asses of
the shocking event. The first act COM
menced with a crossexamination OF the
confessions, which did not, however, afford
any opportunity for material or important
alteration; they were duly attested and
signed, and the first act ended by the
officials retiring to a neighboring restaurant
TO dine, while the wretched criminals were
served with repast in the death-chamber
Oh their Vlcllm. Olnner over, ofnclalS and
criminals commenced the second act; the
time was so arranged as TO coincide
with the hour that the sanguinary
attack took place. An efigy of the
victim, Aubert, had been prepared, and
on this mimic figure the two male assassins
illustrated their hideous crime BY showing
the manner in which the blows and stabs
were originally in6icted-the female holding
the light meanwhile. Then the gagging the
mouth, covering the face with a towel, and
entwiniDg the leaden coils around the body,
were gone through. The go-cart was hen
brought to the door and the victim-efigy
placed on it; all being ready, the ghastly
procession started toward the river, the two
men dragging the vehicle and the won an
pushing behind, till they reached the bridge,
when the stuffed figure was pushed into the
stream. The magistrates then returned to
their homes, and the gendarmerie conducted
the three culprits to their prison at Yer
sailles. Notwithstanding the incessant
downpour of rain very large mob had as
sembled, who would have made short work
of Gabrielle Fanayron if they could have got
hold of her. As it is, unless the authorities
can dig up more sensational incidents, we
hope to hear no more of these Civilization
shows" Justice will no doubt be properly
and decently administered without the aid
or recurrence of these ridiculous surround

if his landlord believes he can pay. In
this way the landlord, not the court, decides
as TO his inability. To get rid oil his arrears
he must apply TO the court; to apply TO the
court he must have the landlords consent
he must be a mere creature Of the landlords
will, held down and oppressed. The Dill was
intended to relieve impoverished men liable
10 eviction, the very men whom desperation
renders lawless. The cost of the relief to be
extended would be SlO,OOO,OO0 to s20, 000, 900.
This the represent atives Of the people desire
devoted to the holy ends of mercy and peace,
but these lords step in between the suffering
and exposed, and the will OF the nation, and
say the nations will shall not prevail, for
the iron hand of oppressioa-not kindness,
not iustice-shsll reign in Ireland, and when
the oppressed spurn the chain, then these
lords and their Tory adherents will send the
soldier with his all-persuasive bullet. To
stand between the distressed and the millions
the country consecrates to their relief is
much, but what is it to drive men to despair,
TO perpetrate wrong, to fill the land with
broken down men, weeping women, and
starving children-to arouse the spirit OF
vengessce to fill the land with ruined and
hopeless peopleI And, when all this is done,
to appeal to the soldier and the bullet to
perpetuate the wrong by finding victims for
the silent grave whence issues no voice of
remembrance or complaint, where the hand
that struck for right is stilled forever, Ieav-
ing it to the God OF justice 20 deal with the
oppressor and the murderer. To-day, in
this nineteeth century, We zee in this act OF
the British lords what is the nature of aris-
tocracy, everywhere an injury and a curse.
We can we'll imagine how their Irish victims
feel toward these treaders under foot of Gods
laws. When their feelings carry them on to
crime we must blame; but, oh God who
could deny pity?

MORE OPPRESSION FOE IRELAND.


The English tories have thoroughly emas-
culated the Irish arrears bill, which was in
tended 10 relieve farmers who are hsmpered
through unpaid rent, and their leader in the
House of Lords declares that their policy
will not be departed from, although the lord
lieutenant of Ireland has notified the gov
eminent that its provisions are absolutely
necessary for the paci6calion of the disturbed
country. By one of the amendments the
Lords have added to the bill as it came from
the Commons. 1t takes away the element OF
compulsion which authorizes the courts to
cancel arrears of rent for all holdings under
$50 year by Grifith's valuation. The act
requires the tenant 10 show receipt for his
rent for the year ending November, 1881,
and TO prove his inability to pay the full ar
resrs. When that is done the court, as free
gift, pays one years rent and the man is set
free of all further arrears. The amendment
of the Lords deprives the man of this relief

Mrs. Ryan was slightly injured, and several
other persons injured. One elephant entered
the rolling mill of the iron works and cleared

left the works and made for the river. Three
eleph ants were secured, but at midnight the

Agn0Sfic Poetry.


To make too much of your opponents is
bad generalship, and always shows a want
of knowledge, often a want of humor. The
author OF a very serious and sorrowful essay
on the "Vices of Agnostic Poetry" in the
Dublin ReJses0, certainly overestimates the
power OF the enemy. He selects quantities
OF incoherent "neo-pagan" nonsense from the
verses of almost unheard-of poetasters, and
draws the conclusion that "the tree of life,

Perhaps it would have been all we'll If they
had been able TO meet the expenditure; but
when it was known they could not, it was
villainy. There are families who, in the
effort 10 meet the ridiculous, outrageous and
wicked customs of society in regard to OBJ
sequies, have actually reduced themselves 10
penury. They put the last dollar in the
ground. They wanted bread and you gave
them a stone. There is in England what
they call Funeral Reform Society. 1t is
high time we had such reform society in
our own country. This widespread extrsva-
gance accounts also for the poverty of religi-
GUS Institutions. Men pay so much for show
they have nothing for God and religion. We
pay in this country So O00, 900 for the great
benevolent societies; but what are $4,000

The First Hanging at West Point, Miss.


Special to the Appeal
WEST PoINT, MISS, August CLAY eoun-
ty's first official hanging took place here to-
minutes to o'clock pm, suffered the penal
ty of murder. On the Both OF May, 1880, in
a paraxysm of Jealousy, caused by her re-
fusal to marry him, he killed Georgia Bright
while she was returning from church on
Sunday night. He was tried and convicted
of murder and sentenced to hang on the 9th
of May last year. An appeal to the Supreme
Court resulted in confirmation of the SEN
tence, and June 20, 1882, WAS fixed as
his last day. A respite, however, until the
4th OF August was granted, disappointing
the second vast concourse of negroes and
country people who assembled to witness the
execution. An effort was made TO secure
communication of the sentence TO imprison-
ment for life, and petition to that
effect, signed by about forty cili-
zens, was forwarded to Governor Lowry,
who yesterday telegraphed his refusal to
interfere. At IL o'clock to-day, guarded
by the West Point Rifles in full dress uni
form, Captain Levy commanding, and fol-
lowed by an immense throDg, the poor negro
took his last ride to the scaffold, erected in
an old field by the road side, about quarter
of a mile northwest of the courthouse. As
cending the scaffold, and permitted to speak
after the reading of the death warrant, he
declared that he was ready and willing TO
die, and that if granted an opportunity he
could prove his innocence. With the words
mot guilty" upon his lips, the body of Arm
sted Coleman dropped through the scaffold
and his soul into eternity.
