Those who delay to observe this caution skould not complain if they do not find them where they prefer to see them. It is always safest to get them to our counter between § and 10 in the morning, if wishing them insert- ed satisfactorily on the same day Jamas PowsrsSexrescep 10 bf HUNG —To- day, shortly after 1 p.m, James Powers, the convicted murderer of Edward A. Lutts, was brought inte court by Deputy Marshal Phillips and attendinz officers Shortly after being placed in the dock— The Judge caused the prisoner to stand up, and said: “James Powers, have you anything to say why the sentence of the law nbould wet pro- nounced upon you, for the crime of which you beve been convicted?”* ‘fo which the prisoner replied—“ Nothing sir, except that i have not had a fair trial. I was burried into jt without due preparation.’ The Judge then said: You have been convicted of thehigherime of murder The circumstances attending the perpetration of this offence against the laws of God and your country are few and simple. You were tried by jury above excep- tion, by your own admission, and you were for- tunate enough to have the services of counsel who displayed great ability and zeal in the con- duet of your defence. To such a jury and the aid of counsel you were entitled; but the evidence was so clearfand con- clusive as to lead the mind with irresistible force to the conviction of your guilt The threats which it was proved you made against the deceased as lateas the Saturday night before his death, which you attempted to an- swer by a reconcilfaticn between you. That your sul nent conduct showed to be feigned on your part would have been,in connection with the shooting bins, sufficient to warrant the ver- dict of the jary Bat independent of those menaces, the fact of your using a deadly weapon upon him without the slight: s! provocation, not evena woid having been exchanyed between you at the time, and his death of the wound inflicted by the pistol shot, constitute the crime of which you bave been convicted i will not eo into any det nor dwell 1 < of the evidence, » of the i nin whieh you now stand is traceable to the low d-inking hones you trequented, in ove of which you towk the life of Ed. A. Latz Let others be warned by your fate; for, sooner er later, disgrace, crime, and in some cases an ignominious death, are the inevitable con: quences of resorting to those haunts of the vicious wad wicked fr which proceed three-fourths or mare of the crimes attended by violence that occur in this city The painful duty I 2m now performing author- izes me to give you a word of counsel {n relation to the life that lies beyond the grave. All men require the pardon by the Almighty, of the trials Which surround the purest, and to be pat by the benignant hand of Providence on the road to heaven The great fountain of mercy is as open to you as to the wisest and best; and upon you it seems expecially incumbent to seek relief fromm it. ladv you to'send for one or mare of the of the religions persuasion to which or such others ax you may prefer. Any of those good men will aid you ia your t ttucts to secure the Divine favor, and afford you the cousolations of religions so far as human agency can do xo Itonly remains for the court to pronounce the sentence of the law you for the crime whereof you stand ted The sentence is, that you be haw by the neck until you are dead. and that the Marshal of the District of Co- lambia de, on peril of what may fall thereon, cause execution of this judgment to be made, and done upon you, upon the first Friday whieh shall be and will follow nest after the day ou which the next term of the Cireuit Court of the District of Columbia shail be terminated and brought to an end. between the hours of nine o'clock in the forenoon and twelve o'clock at noon of the same day That you now be taken from hence to the jail of Washington county, in the District of Colum- bia, from whence you came, there to be closely kept until the day of execution; and on the day of execution appointed on the day as afore- said, you are to be taken to the place of exeen- tion, according to the provisions of the act of Congress of the 25th of January, , there to be hanged as aforesaid il you be de: In closing this solemn scene, | offer my fer- vent prayer to Almighty God that he will, iu His infinite zoodness, have mercy on your soul.

Editor: I read the article of a ‘Subscriber!’ in your issue of the ist inst. With reference to the supposition of my riding a horse “accus- tomed to shy,"’ my knowledge of him would en- able me to judge when to spur him ahexd and when to check bim to the rear of “pi dere omecoes if the application of the spur and the horse well held failed to prevent contact, which I think it would, or could, or should do. I deny that the off side affords the ‘: best opportunity to render assistance, and that a lady properly seated on her saddle looks fairly fn front as alleged by ‘Sub- scriber;"’ on the contrary, in conversing with a companion at ber right band the position is strained and inconvenient. I am amused in read- ing in the beginning of the article that the near side is wrong for the gentleman to be on, because he is liable to come into violent contact with the lady, und in the conclusion that the off side is the most proper, as it will permit him to come closest to her. fam aware that on horseback either side is optional with riders as to meetiny vehicles, and supposed that as the law in England requires persons meeting to turn to the left, that might be there areason for gentlemen to ride on the off side. Ina carriage the fashion is fora gentle- man riding with a lady, unless he is driv ng, to place ber at his right hand. So in entering a room, or handing a lady to dinner, the gentle- man yields her the post of honor ‘at his right hand. All of which being admitted, it follows that that 1s the proper position in riding on horseback, unless the inexperience of the gentle- man and his want of skill are likely to themselves, to avoid which he takes refuge on the off side” As to courting a lady, and partici- pating inthe luxusy implied in the expressive silence of his ‘ahem! the near side is, in my opinion, preferable, as there is no possibility in the ecstacy imagined of the lady loxing ber bal- ance or dislocating her neck, and when the acquaintanceship is but begun, and the gentle- inan doubtful of the prospect of hope becoming fruition, be can press ber uccasionally, all by ac- cident, and judge by its reception somewhat of his chances, and if he encounter a frown, charge itto bis horse. These are a few of the reasons, Mr Editor, which will, 1 bope, induce your “*Subseriber’’ to subseribe to my side of the question, and in the hope that erescive know!- edge of spnr and rein may enable him to take the side aforesaid “when he next goes out to tide,”’ I remain A Constant Reaper.
