FORA COwARDLY MURDER.
Honesty and Banks Hanged at Win.
chester for X Killing Younx McEaml.

cue>ter TOR aut-
WINCHESTER VA, June 4--Honesty and.
Banks, two negroes, were hanged here to-day
for the murder, on the night of November Ia
1854, Of Joseph McFaul. a youth about 3
years OF age. A democratic procession took
place here that night and the prisoners made
threats that they would crack the skull Of some
democrat before morning. McFaul was q
slightly built young man. Honesty and Banks
were powerful negroes. They way laid McFaul
on Main street. lie had nothing with which to
protect himself but a slight walking stick. The
negroes pressed upon him and he backed from
them and ordered them TO keepaway. Honesty
hurled a rock at McFaul. striking him on the
lett temple. As he reeled and staggered across
the street, Banks struck him in the side with u
rock. McFaul went TO his boarding house and
was found dead i'm bed the next morning with
his skull fractured.
Honesty said on the scafiold: 81 thank God
am converted. aud am going home To Heaven.
No mans blood rests on my soul i have not
10 answer for AZ. / thank all the officers and
ministers for their kindness" Banks said Il am
not guilty OF what is put on me. / want To
meet all my friends in Heaven" Their arms
were then pinioned, the black cap drawn ever
their heads and in a loud voice both cried out
Good bye, God be with you" The trap was
sprung by "A wire running into cell In the rear
OF the scaffold. The limbs of Banks were drawn
up convulsiyely several times and Honesty \
twice. AT fifteen minutes 10 ten O'Clock the
physicians pronounced them dead, the necks
OF both being broken. The military under
Capt Mutton guarded the jail. About seventy.
five spectators were present.

The Matthews Nomination.
ACTION DEFERRED-THE NOMINEE GOES BACK

NO MAgtMSWS SOIuAu0IAOms
ACTION DEFERRED-THE NOMINEE GOES BACK
TO ALBANY-wHAT HE SAYS.
At the meeting OF the Senate District COM
mittee to-day the nomination Of Mr.. r. S. Mat
thews was briefly considered and then laid over
without action, because the vacancy caused by
the withdrawal Of Mr.. Riddleberger had not
been filled It was thought best to defer action
and give the new member, whoever he may be-
q voice in the case. The members of the COM
mittee think 1t only fair to Mr.. Matthews that
the case shall be disposed of without delay and
II is probable that a special meeting Will be
called early next week, after the vacancy shall
have been nled, TO take nnal action.
MIR. Matthews was at the Capitol and he said
to u STAR reporter: II have not solicited any
Senator for favorable action upon my nominu-
these absurd charges were filed against me. I
deemed it proper to refute such an accusation
Ii am given credit for even ordinary sense it
IN preposterous TO suppose that while my nomi-
nation was pending in republican Senate
would visit the polls in a municipal contest and
tas op SonT the
ticket. The man who originated the charge re-
fused TO come before the committee. The truth
necessary to reduce the force employed at the
capityl, and white and cOlOred, demo
Gratis and republicans, were discharged;
republicans were laid on. Politics had nothing
to do with the matter"
Mr.. Matthews returned to Albany this after.
noon. He remarked to THE STAR reporter that
ii confirmed it is his intention TO administer the
office in accordance with the best interests OF
the people here.
NEW MEMBER OF THE SENATE DISTRICT COM
MITTEE.
In the Senate to-day Mr.. Ingalls, moved that
the vacancy In the District committee be filled.
That was agreed to, and the President pro tenn
pore appointed Mr.. Chace, OF Rhode Island, to
succeed Mr.. RidGleberger The present indica-
lions are that ON the Matthews case the COM
mittee stands as follows:
For continuation: Messrs. Ingalls,, Spooner,
Chace, Brown and Harris.
Against: Messrs. Vance and Blackburn.
Messrs Pike and Palmer are absent from the
city, but when the nomination was up before
they voted for confirmation. The opposition
appears to have been diminishing If late. One
member of the committee remarked that the
residents of the District did not avail them
selves Of q suggestion once made to send in
protests against Matthews, and, therefore,
there was nothing to show that local sentiment
is opposed to him. He added that, in antago-
nizing Matthews, he had believed ne Was voic-
ing local sentiment and that he was not
prompted by any personal feeling at all. II
now looks as II Mr.. Matthews will be confirmed
at an early day. The case will not, probably,
provoke any discussion In the Senate.
