William KemmIer EIectroouted.

The execution of WILLIAM KEMM-
LER Wednesday forenoon in the
State prison at Albany, n. Y, was
the first criminal ever legally cleo
trocuted in the history of the world,
and let us hope that it will be the
last. The Legislature of New York
State had changed the law of exc
cution of criminals condemned to
capital punishment from hanging
by the neck by a rope until dead
to death by electricity. WILLIAM
KEMMLER was the first man con-
demned under the law, and the
first to be executed by that method
Not only the inhabitants of the
United States, but those of the civ.
ilized nations of the world, have
awaited the result of KEMMLER's
execution by the new method Of
disposing of criminals, adopted by
New York State, in breathless anx.
iety. The deed was done Wednes
day forenoon, and the world is
Mortified.
KEMMLER submitted like an OF
Oh the SHAMELESS without a murmul
of fear. When placed in the fata
chair, and the apparatus of deatl
was being adjusted, he calml.

A Narrow Escape.

Late Saturday afternoon of last
week Messrs. U. A. Potts and VIII
G. Davis secured livery turnout
at this place and left for Big Sandy.
All went we'll until about 8 o'clock,
when within a mile or so Of their
destination, Mr.. Potts advised Mr..
Davis to drive a little to one side
as the road was somewhat out of
repair at that point. The warning
was promptly needed, Mr.. Davis
pulled on the lines and the next
moment the horse was laundering
up a steep embankment and the
occupants of the buggy lay sprawl
ing by the roadside. The horse
ran about one hundred yards into
clump of underground, and Mr.
Davis is authority for the state
ment that the horse climbed a sap
ling in the vain endeavor to extri-
cate himself from the underground
No serious injury was sustained
by either gentlemen, save slight
Injury Mr.. Davis received in the
fall from the buggy. The buggy
was almost a total wreck.

Hon. Lewis 7. Baxter.

Hon LEWIS T. BAXTER, the Re
publican nominee for Governor Of
the State Of Tennessee, is placed
IN rather an awkward position to
conscientiously prosecute his can
vass before the people of this grand
old Commonwealth.
Mr.. BAXTER, like the more intel
ligent and honest Republicans of
the South, is opposed to the Fed
eral election bill, or force bill, now
pending in the Republican Con-
gress. Mr.. BAXTER knows that his
party leaders in Congress offer the
bill as an insult to southern people
and intended to perpetuate the Re-
publicans in power by interference
in the elections of the southern
States and establish therein negro
domination. He knows the pas
sage of the bill will open afresh
race troubles in the southern States,
and ruin the business and indus
trial prosperity of the South. Mr..
BAXTER is bitterly opposed to the
passage of the bill by Congress,
but resolution of the State Re-
publican platform upon which he
was nominated as the candidate of
his party, favors the passage of the
election bill. The convention that
made the nomination was opposed
to- the bill, but the corrupt bosses
Of the party urged the resolution
because 1t is the only plan that
AN be adopted that has a ghost OF
a chance to perpetuate the power
Of the Republican party in the
control of the National Govern
ment. No man can be deceived
in the policy of the Republican
party in their endeavor to force
this measure upon the people Of
the South.
In order to give their candidate
fighting chance, the State Re.
publican convention was compelled
to select 1nGr whom the intelli
gent Republicans in The State
would support, and to brace thell
leaders in Congress in the passage
of the election bill, the bosses in
iected resolution in the platform
favoring the bill.
The platform makes MIR. BAxTEi
champion Of the Federal election
bill whether he wants toor not, anC
every voter in Tennessee who votes
for Mr.. BAXTER next Novembe.
says by that act that he favors the
election bill now before Congress
1t is degrading to Mr.. BAxTEl
and every honest and intelligen
Republican in Tennessee, to thu
be forced by few corrupt and dis
honest leaders of the party to sup
port measure that is disgusting
to their true sentiments. But vii
the honest and intelligent elemen
of the Republican party OF Ten
nessee submit to corrupt "boss
rule and support Mr.. BAXTER ant
the platform upon which he wa
nominated? VIII even Mr.. BAx
TER continue a race to the fnisl
under such circumstances
There is no discounting the fac
that the better element of the Re
publican party will not endorse tn
sentiments Of HoUK, EVANS, etc.

requested his executioners to take
their time and adjust everything
so as to avoid any mishap. The
electricity was turned on three
times before the man was killed.
The breast heaved; the nails cut
into the flesh; the flesh sizzled and
smoked, and was burned into a
crisp; the clothing caught on fire,
and one of the witnesses tainted
at the sickening sight KEMMLER
was a heartless wretch, and deserved
death; he suffered the death pen
atty, but in a most horrible form.
If it is desired to make the death
of a criminal 50 horrible thatno one
will dare do murder, elotrocution
should be universally adopted. If
it is desirable to tincture execu-
tions with the milk of human kind
ness in the taking off of criminals,
let us retain the old method Of
hanging by the neck.
The Nashville Evening Herald
has discharged it's Union printers
and adopted the use of plate mat
ter. BY this action the Herald
does the Union printers great in
justice, for had it not been for their
cooperation in its establishment
the probability is that it would
have never lived through It's in
fancy.
