The Rope Broke and Andersen Was
Hanged a Second Time.
Norfolk. Va, Dec 1O--John Ander-
sen, the condemned murderer of Mate
Saunders, of the schooner Olive Pecker,
was executed in the city Jail yesterday.
He marched from his cell to the scat
fold unsupported. and with firm step
assembled the steps without assistance.
After prayer Andersen made a short
speech. saying he had forgiven the
men who swore his life away. and
would die at peace with the world and
God.
At 3:06 the trap was sprung, and
Andersen's body shot downward. The
rope parted just inside the knot. and
his body fell to the cobble stones. A
thrill of horror ran through the crowd.
Officers and witnesses rushed to the
body and snatched the cap from his
head to find blood oozing from mouth,
nose and eyes. A doctor was called.
and soon Andersen opened mis- eyes
and. 1t was said. began to breathe. He
was carried. feet foremost. up the
stairs to the platform and laid down
until chair was obtained. He was
then placed in this. but never spoke.
Preparations for re-hanging him were
hurriedly made. The other end of the
rope was adjusted around his neck. He
was raised to a standing position and
the straps again placed on his limbs
While being supported by the officers
the trap was again sprung In %
minutes life was pronounced extinct.
Nine minutes elapsed between the first
and second drops. Anderseh's neck
was broken. supposedly by the last
drop

WHY THE PRESIDENT Is SILENT.

The situation at Washington seems
to be one of compromise, so far as The
South is concerned, and people through
out this broad lani, seem puzzled to
understand why so much cunsid srstion
should be shown to a section, which
when an analysis OF the vote Of the re-
cent elections is made did not furnish
Republican majority in any OF the
states OF the late Confederacy.
And this too. despite the fact that
some OF the rankest democrats from
SoUrH CAROLINA, GEORGIA, ALABAMA,
MISSISSIPPI, LOUISIANA and Texas had
been honored with positions of the
highest rank in the voluntee army.
Southern Democrats have been and
are IS influential at the Executive De-
partmentfof the government at Wash
ington as are the northern Republic
cans. What is the meaning Of all this ?
To our mind it was bid for the SEN
atorial vote upon the treaty of peace
an pie dge of Democratic support OF
the conduct of the war. The President
does net rely upon his own party ia
the struggle, but has comprom sed in
such q manner as to make it well-nigh
impossible for him to speak out upon
existing conditions which exist in this
country ''as he did of yore."
In compromising the Southern Dem
ocrats, unfortunately, he is himseli
compromised.
No one who Will bear in mind that he
informed the committee of eolored
citizens from the meeting held at the
Vermont Avenus Baptist Church
Washington. D. O., that this is time
for conservatism will doubt the force
of all that we have said upon this sub.
1ect.
And yet such a suggestion seems lu-
dicrous. SPAIN was the one to have
used that language, for while we start.
ed out to free Cuba, and not to acquire
territory, we have forced onr late an
tagonist to give up PoEro Rico. one Of
the Caroline Islands, and the Phillip.
pines which embrace from fifteen hun
dred to two thousand smaller islands
while the Spsniards have been nc
doubt wondering whether or not the
next proposition would be to annex the
Canaries and spain itself.
We already have Cuba. and the Lord
orly knows when our flag will come
down in that blood stained island. We
believe it will come down, only TO &c
up again.

situation in = nat shell. The only

southern whites any more than they do
the Negro. They Professionally ignore
the feet that the Sou;hel ner has been
il close contact with the Negro all his
life that in his helpless infancy black
nanny" uursed and tended him T;
that in his childhood the black boys on
the place were bis daily plsymates ;
that, during the period II the civil
war. his former sla res displayed an ar
fectionste devotion and fidelity which
he can never forget. in this world or
the next; that the love and sympathy
which existed between him and his
black friends, would nsver, to this day
have baen impaired but for the wick

the pathetic creduliGy OF their colored
dupes."
The above assertions are strictly
true. And again:
"Ths Southern gentleman does not
hate the Neg-o. He does not shrink
from personal sontact with him. He
never besitstes 10 succor and beiriend

The Posr tells the whole story when
it declares that the high class South
ern whites will do all this. But what
about the other class. who were never
nursej oy Negro and who never own
ed one7
They are the ones who shrink from
ptr'onsl contact with our people. They
are the authors and agitators of the
Jim Crow Car laws. They ere the
ones who demand race discriminating
legislation of all kinds.
They are the ones who murder the
irnocsnts. They terrorizs the neigh
b RI God. They insult khe women.
rhey sh' OF he mer, slay the childr =
and engage in atrocities, which would
disgrace the Inhabitants of the Feel e

Do not then attempt to shield these
bowling demons behind the chivalric
forms of JoE WHrELER, FITzgUeH LEE
or any other southern sristocrat who
would scorn to do low act and who
always believes in according fair-play
TO his antagonist.
The Negro Can solve the so-called
problem in the South without outsid e
interference. But you do not
mean what you gay, when you give
voice to the declaration.
II you will promise that when the
'fun" commences against this class OF

that you and the national government

ments Of the south and bring about q
condition of affairs which will astound

Had the butcheries in the Carolinas
