Some weeks since Thomas Sayle, • young raershod of oakland, Miss., Ak miles south or ?Atrophic assassinated by an unknown person, w the remains in a most horrible mannho toer. pointed to a negro, named Joe Payne, who rested. After some time he made a full issifi and it was given out that he would be publicly the next day at noon. A reporter thus deem the proceedings : To-day, Joe l'ayne, coloured, oie hanged in accordance with the almost uranium. votes of noo or 600 citizens. The proceedings were quid and business-like. Sheriff Pearson made ah loquentio. peal in favour of the law taking its course, but crime was so revolting, and the inane cold-blooded deliberate murder in clear and plete, that the sheriff was overpowered and re*, of his charge. A court was at once 0rrp0,..,1 Hon. J. M. Moore, mayor of Oakliii,s, 1,74;7 W.N. Fitzgerald and W V. 11,1.,0re, attorneys, os, ducted the prosecntion. l'ayne oaks full confes,Ssa He said that on the night of the murder lie seht Sayle's house for the purpose of killing him fur money, and that he waited there until :Wa,. raze out, uh,n he joined him. They walked xlo t ??J0 yards, when he knocked him down,aud cut his throi, throwing the body in a deep gully after he had rifled the pockets of money and the store and ,ak, keys. Then he went to the idon-, and rot whg money was there, amounting in all to *boo 30do1. After the confession a vote was taken, aof death by hanging was the verdict of the crowd, woe acted as jurors. A gallewa was ev'ete'l at anat, sad the prisoner mounted the scaffold with a firm He rw.de a speech, again confessing his gult, advised everybody to teach their children to avoid evil thoughts. The black cop was then adjustwl,and in 10 minutes he was pronounced to be dead. The coloured people were as clamorous as the whites for awe** the outrageous crime, and the people think they him done right.  SCOTSMPIN AND THE SUNDAY MOYERS, The Srohontzu, referring to the letter which appeared recently, threatening the Liberal party with the low of seats in Scotland unless the Strome ri..nrs ale leased, says the vast majority of peaceshle end order-loving Free Churchmen have no indienete. because of the sentence. They know that is was passed by a judge who is himself Fres Churchman, and they know that he went, as be bem. self indicated in passing sentence, rather to sk, side of leniency. The United Presbyterians we se little on the side of disorder as Free Churchmen. Of course in both churches there are some bigoted's/ some blatant people who have made • cry, butassenig they do not represent anygreatbody of public efalaes. "As it is," says the writer of the letter, "i• tbe eyes of more than half the people of Scotland Gs culprits are heroes and martyrs." It is safe tea. not one Scotsman in 60 takes any such view. Sege. men have more wisdom, are too law-abidias and order-loving to have any such feeling. If "J. threat is to have any effect, it must be to key the men in prison. If Sir William %,were to release them now he would lay Hasa open to the charge of having prostituted the pre. rogative of mercy for party gain. Had the threat only appeared in London, little, perhaps, need have been said, but it has been made elsewhere a Scotland, and it shews the depth to which the bigoted and the intolerant will descend. Thar foolishness is equal to their bigotry. It would be a thousand times better that the Liberal party shod' lose every seat in Scotland than that the price of its puccess should be the pollution of the springs sf pistice at their source. Sir William Harcourt mane help but take this into account, and he may well fed as others who have pity for the men in prison fee* that those violent vindicators of Sunday rest Strome Ferry must pray to be saved from their friends.
