Mean- while, the defeatof the bill has mot result- in Epgland against new sectarian inatitu- whother any moasure giving to the Catholica Gladstone was oe which could not but com- mend itself to all liberal and thinking poople, and would have sccured to Iroland one of tho best of university systems. The proposition of the Cardinal was, in cffect, & demand for tho union of Chureh and Btate—tho most unpopular projoct (the Church being Catholic) which conld e put forth nt the prescnt time. When the question noxt comes up, the decision will probs- bly loavo tho Irish Cstholics farther away from tho attainment of their dosires than ever. PUBLIC EXCITEMENT OVER FOSTER’S CASE. The interest which has bean" developed in the effort to eecure the commutation of the death-~ sontenco of Foster, * the car-hook murderer,” is almost without parallel in the history of American criminal cases. It hasbeen worked up shrewdly and systematically. First o family interest, then a Church interest, snd finally & political influence were Becured in his faver. The petition for commatation, with a formidable list of names, was presented to the Govornor. This was quickly followed by the insertion in all the New York City papors of the documents snb- mitted in favor of commutation. These were insorted on the same day, and in the samo style, giving tho collection the appearance of an sdver- tisement. The publication of these documents ménts pro and con. To those havo auc- has never boforo roceived so many lotters on euy one subjoct. Public opinion bas thus beon manufactured until ardout partisanship and vio- lent opposition in Foster's case bavo taken the placo of the regular coursoof the law. Mis- takon morey and maudlin sentimentality on the one &ide, and crue! burlesquo azd sevage de- ‘mands on tho other, aro the general charactor- istics of these popular communications. Thers attempt to preeent Foster's claima on legal grounds. Tho leeding featuro of thia effort is reprogented by Mr. W. M. Evarts, who holds that the penally of desth mustbo atrictly con- fined, under tho etatute, to “premeditated do- sign," or death as tho result of the crime of ar- son. Tho circumstances of tho Putnam murder are then reviewed to show that thero could 1ot havo been any premeditated design on the ‘Lis friends that tho ** car-hook " is not & recog~ nizod inetrument of death ; that there were no preparations for the murdor of Mr. Putnam; that tho act was committed in the heat of mo- mentary , pussion and under tho infuenco of arink. Another gronnd mupon which Fosters commutstion is asked, is that tho surviving jurors tostify that they agread upon their verdict upon tho understanding that tho recommends_ disponsaries, which. shall furnish well-cooked | ferment, growing out of the defeat of tho Glad- | the commutation of tho death-sentence; and food of a proper character for the eick, and at | gtone Ministry on tho Irish University bill.

The caso was fairly tried on its merits, and the jury brought in a verdict of murder in the first de- greo. Tho higher courts passed on the trial and tho senterce, and found them in sccordancoe with the law and the evidemce. It is too lste for jurors to leavo their jury- box and their . onths behind them, to submit themselvesto other influence than that of tho evidence, and give an opinion that can overbalunce their sworn vordict.

Those who hold that the commutation of Foater’s sentence would sfford an opportunity for thoescape of other con- victedmurderers,and an encouragoment forcrime, are undoubtedly corroct.” This woold be equally true of Foster's casoor of any other whero a clear conviction of murder fails to meet with the pun- ishment provided by law. + A CASE OF CIVIL-SERVICE REFORM. In President Grant's inaugural ho stated that it had been, and was still, his earnest desire to correct the sbuses that had grown upin the Civil Service of the country ; that, to secure this reformation, rules, regulations, methods of ap- pointment and promotion wero established ; and be then added : *“My efforts for such roforma- tion shall bo continued. To the best of my judgment, the epirit of tho rules adopted will bo maintained.” One of the oldest citizens of 8f. Clair County, i, is Col. H. Wanglin, & gontleman of un- ‘blomished personal character. In the summer of 1861, although the father of & young family of children, he entered the service; and no vol- antecrs from Ilinois being then received, the fist call being full, he engsged in the Twelfth Missouri Infantry, rose to be Lieuten- ant-Colonel, was in the battle of Pes Ridge, marched through Arkaness, participated sc- tively in tne two sieges of Vicksburg, bo- came Colonel, fought &t Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, loat his right arm at Ring- gold, but very soon afterwards joined his regi- ment again, and was in all tho battles at and near Atlants, where he and his rogiment, in De- cember, 1864, were mustered out. For his gal- Iaut servicos ho was made » Brigadier-General, and, if we mistake not, was sppointed to the Postmastership at Bolleville, under Lincolo's Administration. He has held the oflico ever since, and given so groat sstisfaction that, if the poople of Bellevillo Lad & voice in the mat- ter, he would bo clected to the office almost unanimously. Ho has a very numerous family, and this oftice was his only means of making a living. ;Originally a War Democrat, ho has, sinco the war, sctod with the Ropublican party. It is truo, he nover managed primary mectings, nor did ho make stump-spoeches, but he did pay hig tax to the Grant party in the Iast campaign when called upon to do so. Ho gave no enconr- sgement to tho Liberal party, and has faithfully performed all his official duties. No charges of personal or official misconduct have beea made agaivet him. His assistent is alsoa veteran sol- diar, who wss Captain inthe Forty-third Illinois during the whole war, and who i8 perfectly competent to fill the office. Monster petitions GEQRGE DRIVER.

The President, in his insugural, declured his purpose to remove 00 man except for catse, and then to promote the nest in line, if conpetent. How came he to disregard thia promiss in tho caga of the invalid soldier at Belloville ? To his credit bo it said, Gemeral Logar de- nica all responsibility for this acl, but oxplains that his jorirdiction is coofined to the north balf of the State, while Ogleshy has control of Civil-Service Reform in tha goithern part, and Gen.

But id this a snfficient reason to cottrol tho action of the President of the Uited States?

Before 9 o'clock yesterdsr morning the sidewalk in front of the jail was thronged with a A CHOWD OF YOUTHFUL VAGABONDS and sdnlt Joafers.

The Sher- iff's office was crowded all day. The jail door was throngod with suppliants, all clamoring fos admission. Jailer Folz stood within, and ad- mitted only those whom he knew to have aclaim to see the condemued murderer, but even he waa imposed on, and tho jail was continually thronged. CELL ¥0. 1 was concealod from the viow of the cssusl ob- servor. A crowd of men hung round the door all the afternoon, snd ntiorly obscared it from view. As tho roporter clbowed his way to tho narrow cell, he could see THE UNTAPPY FELOX standing near the bars in low and carneat conver- sation with those who crowded round him. One young man, & reporter for & morning paper, had drawn o chair to the door, and there bad placed himeelf in the hopo of hearing all that was to bo oard of thio uttorances of tho condemned mur- darar. But oven he could not stand the pressure of tho crowd, aud reluctantly resigned bis posi- tion. During tho past two or three days tho unfortunsto man has been constantly visited by TWO CLERGYMEN of the_donomination to which ho belongs." The Rey. E. F. Davis, & Prosbytorisn minister, and tho Rev. D.

They have been unremitting in their attondance, and thoir unobtrusive kind- ness hss been keenly felt and appreciated by the wretched man whom they befriended. In addi- tion to these conneellors, & Catholic priest and tmo Siaters of Chasity"visited Lim yestorday Torenoon and remained beforo his cell door Zor & few minntes.

He mas solf-possessed, aud trusted to 1o poasible contingency to deliver him. ~He' merited his dreadfal doom, and, a3 ho said, would hope for nothing to avort it. When ' Mr. Maclaughlin came t0 tho_door, the crowd roverontially with- drew, and allowed him free converso with the ‘man who would 50 s00n be beyond the reach of carthly consolation.

This vas phout noon, and the crowd was comparative- y small. There was ONE PAITHFUL ATTENDANT a:the door of the condemned cell, a boy about 14 years ot age, whoso resemblance to the pria- uctinft nodoubt os tobis identity, It was Tiver's son, one of thoso who had contributed thoir share foward bringing abont the awint doom which awaited their fathor.

The Sheriff was busy. The pieces were sil fitted for one_ another, but the rough, nnsea- soned timber had warped, and & groat deal of fitting and placing was necessary. Then came the hammering. As each nail was driven into the rickety structure, the blows of the hammer reverberatod through the low-roofed jail, and struck a chill into many & heart. B THE HORRIBLE BOUND, awed many a felon into quietudo. Now and then a ribald jest was passed from ons occupant of a crowded coll to his neighbor, but his tona was hushed with s sott of superoatural fear. As the hammer sounded, the miserable Driver heard each note, and felt instinctively that overy blow was driving the mails into his last earthly abiding place. It wns clumsy work at the best, and such as shonld have boen syoided. DBut the jail is not what it ought to be, and there isno place where the echoing could not be heard, It scemed to those within the vl A sound prophetic of thelr fall, and to the ona particnlar prisoner it must have been espacially agonizing and fateful.

Nothing is sa~ crod to the valgar herd, and nots wordof the malofactor’s last utterances was lost fo the greedy seekers after the horrible. For nearly two hours the helpless babes re- mained talking, for the last time, with their dying parent, and during the whole of that fimo y were jostled and crowded by those human yultures whose morbid curiosity overcame that slumbering fecling of respect for tho unfortu~ nato supposed by poets snd optimists to be Iatent in every human breast.
