the right, with Father Menard be
hind, when Brooks came down th,
steps. He descended in a rather .
: slow and uneven gait and showed
weakness. He was dressed i,
white pants and vest, with a black
alpaca coat, and had his CLOSELY
cropped hair parted near the middle
he wore a piece of evergreen on
the right lapel of his coat. :.
The party walked to the foot OF
the scafold where Brooks knelt
down and was blessed by Father
Menard, after which he assembled
the stairs leading up to the gallows.
Sheriff Paul then took the, death
warrant from the side pocket and
read it to Brooks, who by now had
commenced to show signs of break
ing down. He was then asked if
he had anything to say, and if he
did to speak aloud in order that all
might hear him, as he would be al
lowed a few moments to talk to the
crowd.
He paused for some time, but af-
ter second appeal from the Sheriff,
started to talk in very low and in
audible tone of voice, and said ''that
he did not think that exact Justice
had been given him by the Courts;
and that if he was wrong in his
opinion, he hoped that God would
forgive him."
AT this time he again stopped and
after being spoken to once more
started afresh and said:
"Well, my friends, 1 am going
to die. l am in hopes that none Of
you will come to the same course.
| will acknowledge that l killed
her; | did it! | don't believe my
friends, that the Lord will punish
me. Well, my friends, farewell!
farewell farewell May you all
meet me in the days to come--and
! believe | am confirmed, and am
going home to God. Farewell !"
The watches now marked 26 mi
nutes past l, and the black cap was
placed on him. Sheriff Paul then
descended the steps, and Deputy
Sheriff James, who stood on his
right, and Mr.. Slaughter, who was
on his left held him by the arms.
Brooks gave a sudden turn of his
head in the direction of Deputy
Sheriff, after which he resumed his
position. At this time the rope un-
beneath was cut, and the trap doors
opened, and the body of Brooks

Fifteen minutes later life was
pronounced extinct by Coroner
Casson, who was in attendance,
and his body was cut down and

pared for the occasion.
Brooks hands were handcuffed

might have helped him president johnson
had also refused him). The last time Grant
says: have carefully examined the new
matter presented to me in this case, and it
only the more thoroughly convinces me of the
justice of the sentence"
1t has been stated that General Grant had
never looked into the reputed new evidence,
but that so soon as he had the time to read
it his mind had been convinced of the in
justice done General Porter, and he had at
once written the several letters in which he
has urged the restoration of Porter to the
army. This statement is not in harmony
with the quotation made by Mr. Steele, and
the truth is that those who believe in the en-
tire justice of the sentence upon General
Porter have as much support from General
Grants words and conduct, to say the least,
as those who desire to overthrow the verdict
of court-martial approved by the greatest
President, and the most merciful and just the
country has ever had since the immortal
Washington.

THE FRENCH INVESTIGATION.

Mr.. Charles NJ. Walker, chief clerk of the
Postoffice Department, in a card elsewhere
printed, denies the authorship of the special
dispatch upon the French investigation, which
stated that the department had once investi-
gated the charges against Colonel French
found nothing in them, and still regarded him
as "a model officer" The internal evidences
not only of this dispatch, but of the one pub
lished in the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
were conclusive that the person from whom
they came claimed to speak by and with au-
thority, and, therefore, it was very natural to
presume that Mr.. Walker was their sponsor
But that is point of minor consideration.
Somebody assumed to say for the Postofice
Department that the utmost confidence is felt
in Colonel French, that he is regarded as
"a model officer" and that the charges pre-
ferred against him came from "disgruntled
and discharged employees" These statements
have not been denied; on the con-
trary, they have been emphasized both
here and in Cincinnati. The point the
Journal makes is, that in the proposed 'inves-
tigation" these 'disgruntled employees" and
this '.model officer" will not meet upon an
equality, but that every clerk who dares to APP
pear there with complaint runs the risk of
securing still further the ill-favor of Colonel
French and that it will be the easiest thing
in the world, for one who stands so high in
the estimation of the department, to work the
ultimate if not immediate discharge of any
clerk, upon the plea of maintaining that eds
cipline" for which Colonel" French is so
noted, according to the statement o. o. nose
who assume to speaaik1 by the card. These
special dispatches We're still further confirmed
by Captain E: White, superintendent of
In the criticisms made by the Journal we
have only spoken what is the common voice
upon the farce that must result from an in
quiry undertaken under these circumstances.
We have specially excepted General Gresham
from any possible blame in connection with
the matter, because we regard him man of
the highest sense of honor and justice, and we
believe that so soon as he is thoroughly in
formed of the facts as they exist, and the
unfortunate publications that have been made
with the seeming authority of the department,
he will not only disavow the statements made,
but will see the propriety of annulling the
proceedings already taken for an inquiry,
which, handicapped as it is, can eventuate in
nothing but a farce.
