A Lease of Life

As stated in the GAZETTE yesterday
Judge Wallace, of Syracuse, New York, has
granted writ of habeas corpus in the case
of William Kemmier, convicted of tho mnr-
der of Mrs. Title Z3igler, and who was to
have been executed by electricity at Auburn
prison, on the ground that the manner OF
the execution is in violation of the constitu
lion of the United States. Is is understood
that Warden DuIsian had arranged 10 ap-
ply the fatal electric shock to kemmler at
daylight yesterday morning, hut slight
hitch in the final arrangement of the appa-
ratus caused postpon. ment. II that IL the
case it was bitch that saved the prisoners
life. When Kemmler was informed of the
result be remarked quietly when told that
1t meant two months of life for him That
makes me- feel much easier"
The application is brought under the act
OF Congress OF 1878, intended TO cover g.
legged southern outrage cases. If toe decl-
sion should be against Kemmler's counsel
he may appeal TO the Supreme Court of the
United States, and 80 delay all electrical
executions several yesrs. AS the New York
lave provide no other method of il hicting
ca pital punishment there will be an entire
suspension Of the death penalty. II the
electrical execution law should be declared
unconstitutional lawyers would argue that
a new law providing for some other method
than electricity could not affect those who
had been sentenced prior oits passage.

SENATE,

Mr.. Dolph, from the Committee on Foreign
Relations, reported concurrent resolution
requesting the President to negotiate with
thu governments OF Great Britain ana
Mexico with view of securing treaty ssipu-
la,ions for the prevention Of the entry into
the United States of Chinese from CANADA
and Mexico; and he asked for its immeG.-
ate consideration.

The concurrent resolution went over Till

eralicn of the customs administrative bilh

After the reading of the journal the Houte

as wooden cloths.
The bill was passed-yeas 13S; nays o.

The text OF the bill is as follows: That
tbs Secretary OF the Treasury be, and he
hereby is, authorized and directed to CLASH
fy as WOODEN cloths all imports OF worsted
cloth. whether known under the name oil
worsted cloth, or under the name Of

Rules reported resolution providing for the
immediate consideration OF theSenate service
pension bill, to which the Morrill, service
pension bill may be ordered as substitute
the previous question to be considered as
ordered at o'clock.
Mr.. Carlisle, OF Kentucky, protested
against the adoption of resolutions OF this
character, which took away from the com
mittee of the whole the right to consider
m 1ney bills and forced the House to e
vote upon them after a brief debate
Was it because they feared the amend,
m ent5 which gentlemen supposed the go.
diers of the country desired? The Okla
homa bill had been taken out of the com
mittee of the whole with the previous ques
ton ordered upon it. The same had beer
true of the great court bill. If this was not E
confession that the new code of rules hat
failed to facilitate the business of the House
he did not understand its meaning.
The resolution was adopted, and Mr.
Morrill,, of Kansas, took the floor In expla
nation and support OF his bill.

THERE ARE bills now before Congress

whom are foreigners drawn hare by that
war, acd thousands of whom were bounty
jumpers, deserte,s and were driven out OF

fact looks well neither for the patriotism
nor the wisdom of the republican party,
and bodies no good to the country itself.

SENATOR SHERMAN is not going to sit
still and let Mr.. Reed get ahead OF him in
the race for the republican Presidential
nomination. He, yesterday, not only en-
dorsed Mr.. Reeds rule for counting quo
runs in the U. 8. House of Representatives
when they do not exist by the vote, bus
went bow shot beyond Mr.. Reed, by ad-
vislug the adoption OF that rule in the Sen.
ate, 50 as to count a whole State as voting
in the negative on any proposition upon
which its two Senators may not choose to
vote. II there had been any doubt before
on the subject. it is now plain that Mr..
Sherman is already among the active csr-
dldates for the nomination OF the next MS
tionaI republican convention. What would
Webster. Clay, Calhoun, Benton. or any OF
the men who once conferred dignity and
respect upon the Senate, have done with the
presiding officer OF that body IL he had at
tempted to count them ss voting when they
did not choose to vote? But to compare
Mr.. Sherman with such men ia like that oh
noxious comparison of Satyr to Hyperion.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 80.

THE LATE President Garfield. when
member OF the United States House OIL NIP
resentstiyes, said the man who might al
temnt to reach the Presidency by formenting
Sectional strife would 6nd himself lett, or
words to that effect. Mr.. Speaker Reed evil
IDENTIFY doesn't hold to any such notion. Inc
election law that ne supports, though ma
tionsl in name, was conceived and Ia intend
cd. as every body knows, only for the pur'
nose of operating upon elections in the
South, and OF increasing the number OF south
ern republican congressman and southern
REPUBLICAN Presidential electors. That Mr..
Reeds conspicuous support Of this law has
given him a loud boom for the republican
Presidential nomination, among the South
hating element of his party, there is no doubt,
and as that element controls his party he
NAV be nominated. But that 1t has arrayed
against him the friends of the other leading
aspirants for the nomination, and also the
northern men who have made investments
In the South, is equally certain, and the
combined opposition of these two forces Will
unquestionably be great in the next national
republican convention. That such Is"
would inaugurate civil commotion, race
war, and death and destruction throughout
the South is apparent to every body familiar
with the true condition of this section OF the
country, and 90 the whole country depends
upon the cotton crop of the South for Its ia
vosable balance of trade and Its favorable
rate of foreign exchange, the grievou'
wounds the law would infict upon the South
would be sure to react upon the North and
to injure seriously that section also. 1t i;
for the republicans In Congress to say
whether the law referred to shall be enacted
or not, for they have a majority in both
houses Of that body, and with Mr.. Speaker
Reeds existing, and Senator Chandler's pre-
posed rule. and with Mr.. Harrison ready to
endorse their action, they can pass any law
that may please either their whims. their
prejudice or their malignant hatred
