A Relic Of the War.

Exchange; In bundle ofpapers
purchased by Mr.. E. E. Wheeler
of Washington the other day, an
old war relic was discovered. II
was the check book used by the
quarter-master general of the Con-
federacy during the last days Of
the war. They were drawn on the
treasurer of the Confederacy, and
the dates ran from January 26 to
April /, 1865. Seventy-nine stubs
remain in the book, representing
over $1,000, 900, in checks. The
largest check was to the treasurer
of the Richmond and Danville
road for the transportation oftroops
and supplies, while the Atlantic
and Gulf Company got one check
Tor 1857 46 for the same
purposes. A check for s47 1884 81
was given to pay telegraph bill.
In some cases the stubs show that
the creditors had no confidence in
The checks and demanded and gou

road company on the eastern coast
of the late Confederacy received

The Legislature of Minnesota
has passed a capital punishment
law. Under its provisions the
prisoner is to be kept in solitary
confinement and see no one but his
family, his lawyers and his spiritu-
al advisers. He is to be executed
before sun rise, and may invite
three persons to be present. The
sheriff invites six persons besides
the surgeon. 1t is made a mis-

publish more about the execution

any chance for any worthy appli.

the unworthy, in submitting to the
intelligence of the best people as.
sembled in convention. Then there
is no time, even in periods Of the
the most perfect and profound po,
litical tranquility, when our apathy
is so great that we may be driven
from the convention policy. A
convention is at all times a political
necessity, FIVE desire the faithful
administration Of the Offices. AND
this we all certainly do, and are by
no means willing to take risks in
SO important a matter. But the
most cogent reason for convention
that now confronts us, is the almost
absolute certainty ofthe republican
party reviving its organization all
over the state. We have no right
to expect any thing else but that
this administration will reorganize
this offensive party throughout the
entire South. Indeed, it is an i'm
portant part of the business of this
administration to so cripple the
democratic party that the re-
publican party can in the future
more easily retain all the Offices.
We are positively sure, ifthis party
again obtains control of our affairs,
that it will be oficered by not only
the mostignorant and vicious, but
by those whose glory and delight it
has ever been to pauperize and op-
press us. We certainly cannot
afford, under snch circumstances,
TO remain idle, and thus suffer the
sceptre to depart from the pure old
democratic party. Let US therefore
be up and doing, resorting to every
possible precautiQn to guard against
any such contingency--in time OF
peace let us get ready for war.
There is at least nothing to lose by
such precaution, but on the con.
trary very much to be gained. eIn

cratic Executive Committee should
promptly meet and put such
measures on foot as may be neces-
sary to secure a convention to nomi.
nate such candidates as the best
people may think worth. Delay at
this juncture of affairs is extremely
dangerous. Already very large
number Of counties have organized
and selected delegates to county
conventions and placed themselves
in proper shape to meet any con-
tingency. By their prompt action
we are fully reminded of the i'm
portance of falling into line and
getting ready to receive marching
orders. The crisis is rapidly ap.
proaching-let us make no further
delay, but hasten on such prepara-
ton as will secure to the people
the very best results, and this only
through the action of the people

DREADFUL SCENE IN TIE STREET.

Chicago, AprilSO.-One hundred
thousand men, women and children
we're tossed in waves about The Big
Lake Front Park tonight. Halt q
hundred people are known to have
been seriously hurt, a number
probably fatally.
Scores of other suffered painful
injuries. The people were massed
in walls as solid as the frowning
stones of the auditorium against
which they swelled, when the first
strong blow Of excitement broke
the great mob into scores ofcrushes
and stampedes.
Under the glare of the fireworks,
which the throng had gathered
to see, the faces Of thousands Of
women showed white and pleading.
The shrieks of children, trampled
under foot, could be plainly heard
above the booming of the big bombs
and the cheers of the unaffected
parts of the vast assemblage.
First, the pressure on the west
side forced the crowd against the
auditorium, Studebaker'r Building
and the Art Institute. Then the
reaction came, and with q great
roar the mob was forced eastward
almost to the Lake side.
The Illinois Central suburban
trains were forced to stop, power
less to get through the press Of
people. Aside from the presence
of the great crowd itself, the cause
of the excitement was the huge
serpentine fireworks. One Of them
shot out from the stand and squirm-
ed through the people, scorching
everybody in its course. Another
followed a moment later, seeming
literally to rip the crowd in two.
Women tainted everywhere and
were brutally trampled upon as
they lay in the grass. A movement
ofthe crowdaway fromthe threaten,
ed horror Of wholesale panic was
met by movementin the opposite
direction, and the result was a
terrible eOnvulsion Of the whole
body. Seventy-6ye policemen sent
by Capt. Bartram to keep order
were tossed about as they might
have been corks.
