By the kindness Of the gentleman to


whom had letters. / was the only


newspaper man inside the guards that


Burrounded the scaffold. The newspA.
per reporters were placed on slight


rise Of ground, in perfect view, but
where they could hear nothing. The


reason assigned for this was that Brown


had determined to make speech Of


an incendiary character. To prevent


this they determined, if speech be


made, it would be to the military and


to the officials who would be within


hearing distance. 1t was thought best


that some one of the northern. resi-


dents in the shape Of a newspaper cor


respondent should be present, to the
end that, if speech was concocted for


Brown, and published as if he had


spoken it, there might be written evil


dence of its talsity. l happened to be


the person selected, and stood within


ten feet of the gallows when the execu.


ton took place. Brown wss brought


TO the place of execution--an open


field near the town-in q wagon, seat
ed on his coffin. He was neatly dress
ed in his every day apparel. His long,
white beard and his fine face-for he


hal fine one-gave him truly patri-
archial appearance. No one seeing
him at that moment could suppose him
to be a bound malefactor on his way
to the gallows. without hope of re-
prieve. None of the early martyrs Of
the Christian church ever met death
with more of seeming stoical indiffer-
enoe. Brought up with fixed aud
firm belief that he had been doing
Gods work, he believed the course he
pursued. the shedding of innocent
blood. the taking the property of his
enemies, and that the death he would
die had been traced by an Almighty
hand in the beginning. and nought
could change that decree; and hence
he would pass from earth to heaven as
one that God had selected for this par.
ticular work and the change from earth
to bliss immortal would more than
compensate him for the pain of stran-
gulation. The gallows was surround
ed in front by the cadets of the mill
tary institute. the West Point Of Vir-
ginia. They were fine looking youths
of from sixteen to twenty years of age,
dressed in blue pants and red flannel
shirts. Behind them were picked
companies Of volunteer infantry. other

rear of the hollow square in the Gen.
tire of which was the gallows. At
proper points the artillery was placed
in position, the guns loaded and point
ed at a portion of the field occupied
exclusively by strangers and those sus-
pected of not being true to the Old
Dominion. In case of an emeute or
hostile disturbance, the cadets had or
iers to shoot Brown, SO as to prevent

fantry were to FIRE on the suspected
crowd. The outlying pickets and the

TILDEN and his friends think they have

called the committee to order under his call 4,
and he soon ascertaiued that he had but fif-
teen of the committee on hand-the balance
were caucusing and cooking up things in
another room in the interest of TILDEN.
After waiting for q season the TILDEN troops
eighteen in number, marched in. Chairman
PURCELL then again raped the meeting to
order, and then the TILDEN retainers quietly
took possession, had everything their own
way. and adjourned. JOHN KELLY, who
was present, was as mild as sucking dove,
and the outlook is that there is no fight in
Tammany. TILDEN has captured the COM
mittee and will capture the State
convention. ROBINSON will be re-
nominated and Tammany will tail
in behind and do the boosting in the telec-
ton without even protest. DoRsHEIIER
will be cast overheard, and himself and his
friends will sit down to dish of crow and
get outside of it with all possible alacrity
POTTER will probably take the place that
DoRsHEIMER would have occupied but for
his falling out with TnLDEN and ROBINSON.
DoRsHEIRSIER never has been happy while
acting in a secondary relation to ROBINSON,
for the simple reason that he regards him
self as "bger man" than the Governor
and has felt sense Of humiliation in the
relation for almost two long years.

The obligation of the Government to en-
force law is co.extensive with the obligation OF
tho citizen to obey law. Absolve either from
this Obligation and civil government be-
comes farce. When free thought
and free speech can be tolerated in the
South rs in tho North, then peace
and reconciliation will come to stay but to
expect these on any other conditions is to jest
with the subject. Since the cessation Of hos
tiities the life of no man in all the North has
been jeopardizcd for political opinions sake
The most extreme men of the South could
and have uttered their sentiments as freely
and safely on the soil of New England as in
the State of Mississippi or South Carolina
But to say that any Northern Republican
could prosecute political canvass in the
South, relieved from personal danger
is to insult the common intelligence ol
the country The fact that such q thing Is
not proposed or thought of is the best com
mentary on the actual condition of this coun'
try to-day.


Now, so long MS this condition of things re.
mains, so long must the Republican party
stand guard. [Applause.]

Poor little NELLIE GRANTw was the
involuntary exclamation Of Washington on
Saturday last when the news of her death
reached the city through these columns,
for she will always be remembered by peo-
pie hereabouts, as she was best known to
them, in the character of fresh, blithe,
good natured and sociable little bud of hu-
manity. She grew into womanhood, WIS
married, and went away so suddenly as to
leave only these impressions made in her
girlhood days behind. 1t seemed very
strange to hear Of her later rs q mother,
and there was that about her return to her
American home when this occurred which
had the effect to make it subject of COM
mon concern among those of her country
men who knew her never so slightly. And
the romance of her marriage at the Execu-
tive Mansion to foreigner, albeit he had
been manly enough in the days Of his pow
erty to work us day laborer in our Min
nesota pineries, added no little to this in
terest. But she has gone to penetrate the
mysteries of that echoless Shore" and d
generous, heartfelt sympathy is extended
by every American to her afflicted family

 We find that while Dan Hatz's flues are comparatively safe, they are not in compli- ance with the law.

 We find that the Chinese are more careless ifs regard to fire than any one else. We find renters are also very careless,

 We find that the people in general are too spare in the use of brick, not building fiues or chmneys high enough.

Suddenly a new purpose seized the
minds of the villagers. Spades and crow
oars were st once at hand. and the vault
was quickly uncovered.


The first object that met their gag,
was richly-mounted coffin reposing BY
the crumbling remains of that which
held the ashes of Krynezloft. To open
the I'D was only the work of few mo-
ments, and then they beheld. still with
perfect features, the body of beautiful
woman with wound directly in the
region OF the heart.


Never had such cry of terror and
anguish echoed within those walls. The
clothing on the body was of the finest
and most expensive description, but ii
exhibited no mark by which a clue could
be formed to unravel the dreadful deed
that had been committed.


The priest, however, considered it his
duty to make the whole affair known to
his bishop, who resided at Helsingfors,
and he in turn communicated the at
tested facts to the government authori.
ties.


In due time came back q message not
to revive the matter sgain, coupled with
a warning that the inhabitants of Blorn-
bog would do well 10 interest themselves
no further in the strsnge affair.

Some years later, a naval vessel ap-
peared off the coast and landed a party
OF armed men, who proceeded to the
church, keeping all the people at a dis
tsnce by placing guards in the vicinity.


When night fell they were heard at
work, and ere morning dawned they had
embarked, carrying with them a burden
covered with pail.


The few people who were curious
enough to get glimpse of the departure
OF the party, stated that the persons en-
ployed showed the most profound respect
and reverence for the object they bore
away to their barge.


As soon as the ship was well in the
oting the excited villagers again opened
the tomb, but they only beheld the &C
customed remains OF old Francis Krynsz-
loft.

built the church, being careful to stipu-
lac that his body should rest in the tomb
which was built in the middle aisle of the
edihce.


As the good priest gazed down the
building, a tall imam issued from one of
the gloomy shadows, leading lady who
seemed scarcely able to walk, so uncer-
tain were her steps. n Both figures were
masked. The man was as splendidly at
tired as his companion, and his tall form
and military carriage induced the belief
that he was no common parsonage. Be-
hind him came the persons who had been
grouped by the walls.


1t was a strange sight at that lonely
hour of the night to see an old gray
headed priest trembling with fear and
surrounded by unknown men and wo-
men, compelled to celebrate a marriage
with an open tomb in view.


The first thought that rushed to the
mind of the good man was, sthst after he
had performed the ceremony, they
would murder him, cast his bodyinto the
vault, replace the slab, and his fste would
perhaps never be revealed, for none of
the bones of the Krynzsloit family, save
old. Francis, sEswouldsSever repose there.
But heJ quickly dismissed this thought,
as he could conceive no reason for them
to kill an inoaensive man living in an
obscure part OF the empire and scarcely
known beyond the confines OF Biornborg.


His reflections. however, were utshort
by the man reckoning his attendants to
close about him, and then in an imperi
Gus tone commanding the priest to pro-
ceed with his office. Summoning all the
courage he could command, the priest
inquired the name of the bride and bride
groom.


"Nicholas and: ::Castalie," replied the
bridegroom .sterrly.


At the sound of his voice the poor lady
trembled violently, and more than once
appeared about to fall. Once or twice
the priest was on the point of positively
refusing to conduct marriage under
such equivocal circumstances, but the
sight of the open tomb shook his momen-
tary resolution, for he was not courage
