B0tch Criminal
Notes.

NEWARK, N. J., Jan. 4-The prison was
astir before daybreak preparatory to the
double hanging of Robert Martin aud James
B. Graves. The prisoners in the east corri-
dors breakfasted early, and were Immediately
marched to the other side of the prison to
prevent them from witnessing the execution.
Rev. Mr. Wood, Martins spiritual adviser
arrived at O'Clock. The police stretched
ropes across the streets surrounding the jail
to keep back intruders. The sheriff and as
sistants arrived at the Jail at y O'Clock. The
executioner tested the gallows. Martin re-
ceived the holy sacrament and ate a light
breakfast 1t was feared he would break
down but the spiritual consolation succeeded
to a considerable extent in upholding him. He
shed tears for his children. At
10 o'clock the sheriff gave the
signal to start for the gallows Martin
and the clergyman ferventiy recitel prayers,
Martin was firm to the end. The drop fell
at l0:2715 a. m. Martin died in great agony.
His arms having been improperly pinioned,
he raised his left and nearly caught the rope,
struggling wildly for nearly three minutes
The rope slipped and he strangled TO death.
Meantime Graves was the object of much
attention. He was crying like a child, and it
appeared almost certain that he would have
to be carried from bed to the gallows Mar
tins body was cut down after hanging twenty
minutes, and the scaffold got ready for the
execution of Graves, which took place one
hour later. Graves persistently refused to
| avow his belief in God or to accept any
| ghostly consolation. From his talk it a,,-
pears that he was an infdel In the widest sense
of the word. He had no friends and little
| sympathy in Newark Warden johnson re-
| pcated the statement at the seaffold tha

down the stairs by two stalwart men. He
lNoaned AMI cried aud stopped SO that his
| face could not be seen. After the drop fell
he died instantly without struggle. The

More Assistance for Porter.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 4.-Fitz John
Porter has gained recruit in the house A
friend Of Gen. Rosecrans, chairman OF the
military committee, says this: Gen. Rose
Grams is very busy studying
tie Fitz John Porter case. He for
merly shared the opinion, almost uni
versal at the west during the war, that
Porter was guilty as charged and had been
leniently treated by the court. His studies
have brought him to the opposite conclusion.
He has provided himself with accurate maps
of the field and with full files of all official
orders bearing on the case H.s
prominence as an army commander
and his recognized ability as
a military student are already exciting in,
terest here in his forthcoming speech He is
understood to hold in common with some OF
the Republicans of the military committee
that if Porter was wrongfully condemned,
the prssent bill does not so far enough, that,
in fact there is scarcely any reparation that
the government has it in it's power to make
that can compensate for the wrong done

A DEAD ISSUE.
What a Leading Republican Says OF
the Party Issues.
Sectional Issues Dead and New
Question at the Frant---TariH
the Topic Of Discussion
--.Notes.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 4-During The
recess there has been much talk among the
political leaders that have remained in the
city about the future work Of the session and
the issues of next year. A Republican
leader who has been for years prominent in
the councils Of his party said: "I am well
convinced that the issue OF sectional
ism is dead. You can never get the
people of the north to try any
more experiments in the way of trying to
regulate the local affairs of the south or of
seeking by legislation to better the condition
of the negro. | know that the colored voter
in the south has but little, if any, chance, but
the northern people are indifferent. They rec
ognize the fact that you can't put the brains
and superior intelligence of community even
if it is q minority, under the control and DOM
ination of any inferior Intelligence That
experiment has been exhaustively tried by a
powerful government, backed by the army
ami a fierce party sentiment, only to fail
wFetchedly. Ii it failed then, what can any
one hope TO gain now in the reagitation Of
the question in the face of the northern
apathy upon the suhjects The story OF au-
thentie outrages no longer interest any one.
The south in the end is the chief sufferer from
these outrages, for they simply stand off i'm
migration and discourage the investment of
capitalists in southern directions. The Repub-
licans who think the southern business can be
warmed over again for us in the next cam
paign are simply Republican bouIbons who
refuse to seq that the times have changed
The negro must take care of himself lie
cannot be made an issue The evidence Of
this is shown by the way the ciyil-rights
| decision OF the supreme court has been re-
ceived. Ten years ago this decision would
have awakened perfect storm of agitation.
Now it is received with the most perfect
Indifference"
Nv hat do you regard as the issues of next
year!T
Any one who has eyes to see knows that
the taIiF issue is gong to be fought over
