It does not. partake of wrong, -as-—viewed-froma — biblical standpoint, but is governed almost, —+tnot quite, by worldly eireamstan-. ces; Because the-State of Muine, with her stringent temperance laws, “and steady, well balanced populalion, can point to a court record clear ot indictments for—murder;—and—repeal from her stotutes “the: legal measures which provide tor the black eap and the hangman’s noose,it does nut follow that the mining State of Pennsylvania, within whose borders ‘yoam the powerful Molly Maguires, killipg ruthiessly whcever crossed tieir paths, could hope for protec< tion frou the murderers’ bands, unJess the latter understood that the penalty of their sing -was death -on theseaffold. By glancing into the history of only afew months ago, we learn the horrible puiticulars of the hanging bees, where nine men, with their hands scarce washed of their victims’ blood, expiated_their orime by being led. inte eternity at the end of a rope: The lesson was a severe One, but the case was desperate, and required a powerful remedy. _'fpe antidote worked like. charm, -«oupadthe prospect of-adeath from old fpe is daily growing — in the oily State, ._ Culifornia demands the same ex“treme punishment as Pennsylvania, .

A little prehminary-_basiness—was-+disposed of, and the Judge expressed himself as ready to receive the condemned men into his preseuvs. There was a rastie at the door leading tuto the Sheriff’s office, and Butts and stood before his Honor. As they advanced to-tike —possession—of the-+} chairs which had been ,placed for} them, there was a» ncticeable difference in the bearing of the two men, which might have indicated imuch or nothing. When the Judge asked George Butts _to arise, a little wiry, dark complexioned, short whis* kered man got on to his. feet, and stood there as immovable as Sugar Loaf mountain, which could be seen from thie Courtroom windows. His eyelids did not even droop, and his steady nerves and regular breathing plainly indieated that—if he appreciated his true condition—the man was “game” tothe core, And when. bis counsel, John I. Caldwell, asked thit the sentence of the Judge*be deferred until Saturday next, ut ten o'clock, in order that he might show cause why the verdict was not in accord: aanece with the testimony, and his Honor. consented to the petition, the man whose life was being argued over still exhibited the same stoicism that had been -so marked from tie first. The man’s actiuns were a riddle toa yreat many, but to us they seemed-to-indivate a stite of indiff erence, Far differently did Richard Pol. lard conduct bimself. To the-average every-day observer it would appear that the large and wellbuilt. man who responded to that name weuld take the world about us it came; but, in hie one restless eye there lurked a something which tld against the motives within, and his consequen, deeds and peace of mind. When the Judge told him to rise, the man started as though the crack of doom had sounded on his ears. He laid the hat be had been bolding dowh in the chair from which be bad risen, and stood first on one foot, and them ou the other, while the Judge asked him if be had aught to say, et¢.~.The ‘prisoner's whole nervous system was ter he.had mumbled out one or two childish . reasons why judgment should be deferred;-bis Honor with iseration declared the septénce of doomed able'to restrain himwerked spasmodicitched nervously.

A little prehminary-_basiness—was-+disposed of, and the Judge expressed himself as ready to receive the condemned men into his preseuvs. There was a rastie at the door leading tuto the Sheriff’s office, and Butts and stood before his Honor. As they advanced to-tike —possession—of the-+} chairs which had been ,placed for} them, there was a» ncticeable difference in the bearing of the two men, which might have indicated imuch or nothing. When the Judge asked George Butts _to arise, a little wiry, dark complexioned, short whis* kered man got on to his. feet, and stood there as immovable as Sugar Loaf mountain, which could be seen from thie Courtroom windows. His eyelids did not even droop, and his steady nerves and regular breathing plainly indieated that—if he appreciated his true condition—the man was “game” tothe core, And when. bis counsel, John I. Caldwell, asked thit the sentence of the Judge*be deferred until Saturday next, ut ten o'clock, in order that he might show cause why the verdict was not in accord: aanece with the testimony, and his Honor. consented to the petition, the man whose life was being argued over still exhibited the same stoicism that had been -so marked from tie first. The man’s actiuns were a riddle toa yreat many, but to us they seemed-to-indivate a stite of indiff erence, Far differently did Richard Pol. lard conduct bimself. To the-average every-day observer it would appear that the large and wellbuilt. man who responded to that name weuld take the world about us it came; but, in hie one restless eye there lurked a something which tld against the motives within, and his consequen, deeds and peace of mind. When the Judge told him to rise, the man started as though the crack of doom had sounded on his ears. He laid the hat be had been bolding dowh in the chair from which be bad risen, and stood first on one foot, and them ou the other, while the Judge asked him if be had aught to say, et¢.~.The ‘prisoner's whole nervous system was ter he.had mumbled out one or two childish . reasons why judgment should be deferred;-bis Honor with iseration declared the septénce of doomed able'to restrain himwerked spasmodicitched nervously.
