ANDREW JOHNSON. By the President Wm. ARD, Secretary of State. Hanging of the Matricide, Albert L. Stark- weather. Albert L. Starkweather, the matricide, was executed at Hertford, Connecticut, on Friday last. There is nothing in the annals of crime on this continent, not even excepting tne tind Probst, that exceeds im cold-blooded atrocity, unnatural heartlessness, and diabolical inge- nuity, the murder of Mrs. ey Stark- weather and her little daughter Ella by him, —_ was bound to them by nature’s strongest les. The Dearing tragedy loses half its horrors before the scene enacted in the little cottage at Oakland a year ago. The son plunging the butcher-knile into the bosom from which he derived his first nourishment, ana on which, when an infant, he sii inbered; the brother bending over bis little sister with the mur- derous ax dripping with the blood of their common parent, is a spectacle at which Luci- fer himself would shudder. For the murderer no adequate punishment in this life can be found. The prisoner was up the larger portion of the night. About two o'clock he lay down and slept for three or four hours. He took break- fast us usual and with a good appetite. He then spent an hour or two in company with Professor Simpson in jeading prayers and ser- vice. He also had an interview of considerable Jength with bis uncle. Mr. Nathan Stark- weather. He spoke freely and generally with- out any great emotion. He was pale and slightly tremulous, but bore up with remark- uble spirit, especially considering the fact that every few minntes he could hear the drop of the gallows fall, as the officers were trying it and adjusting the cord. Only a few persons were allowed to pass his cell, and at these he did not often look. And so the forenoon wore away, heavily to all others in the jail, and heavily, doubtless, to him. Yet he approached the brink of death witbout tbose manifestations of either sorrow oF fear that was expected of him. About § o'clock Sheriff Russell, attended by the jailor and two or three others, went to his cell and read the death warrant. This gave briefly the facts in the case, stating that he had been presented for trial by a grand jury for in- ilicting mortal wounds with a knife and axe upon his mother, and that be had been tried and found guilty upon these charges, and ended with giving in fall the sentence by Judge Hinman. No mention was made in the Warrant of the sister Ella, as her murder was not included in the trial. Starkweather pre- served much the same demeanor while this was being read as during the rest of the day. The recounting of the wounds and gashes in- flicted upon his mother aid not seem to move him. Starkweather was about five feet seven in- ches in beight, and rather delicate in build and appearance. His face surprised all who saw him for the first time after the tration of the horrid crime. There was always a calm €nd collected look about him, and an air of re- finement and education. He shrank from the observation of visitors, and refused to con- verse with them, not from remorse or shame, but apparently because he did not wish to be annoyed. Every precaution wastaken against his committing suicide. Sberiff Russell and his deputies made ali the arrangements necessary on the occasion, and at noon @ strong foree of mili took their station around the jail to préserve order. After religious exercises in the cell, the prisoner was conducted to the gallows. The crowd inside and ontside the jail was very large, and the utmost eagerness to catch a glimpse of the pri- soner Was evinced by all. Ata quarter past one o'clock he mounted the scaffold firmly, listened apparently unmoved to the prayer offered up by Professor Simp- son, kneltamoment himselfin silent prayer, and shook bands with some of the officials. On being asked if he had anything to say, he answered in the negative.” He ge eel few words to Professor Simpson, who ad- dressed the assembled crowd as follows: “The prisoner requests me to say that ies in charity with all his fellow-men. and in hope of salvation through the merits of Christ Jesus,” The black cap was then placed ou bis head, and all those on the scaffold with the excep- tion of Sheriff Russell, descended the ste)s. The pin of the drop was then removed. and bidding the unhappy man once moré good-by, the sheriff next descended the step: of the gallows. Ashe stepped ou tbe lower ep the drop fell, and at three minutes to one o'clock the soul ot Albert Starkweather was launched into eternity, There were a few mascular eae of the body, and then ual! was still.

The following is a description of the notes which are imitations: The words “three years after date” on the top of the bili nearly touch the words “Treasury ment,” while the genuine have a space of three-eighths of an inch between the two. Also the bottom of Hamiliton’s coat is one-fourth of an inch from the lower margin of the small fitties, while in the genuineshe bottom touches the margin, while the note has a scratchy ap- pearance. There are also counterfeit fives on the Citizens’ National Bank, Fulton, New York. The engraving of the landing of Oo- 4ombus is pale and indistinct, and is one-fourth of an inch shorter than the genuine. The +0" in citizens is too large and too far from the other letters. The heavy line over the head of Columbus which is in the genuine is no: found. This isa very dangerous counterfeit, asitcan be altered to other National bank: by changing thename. It is also reported that counterfeit fiveson the First National Bank of Cairo, INinois, are in circulation.—New Yor: Herale ‘TRE Evveet oF THE CABLE In Mexico.— Itis stated that since the Atlantéc cable has been jaid, Napoleon has kept up a constant telegrapbic communication with Maximillian there being a contunuous telegraphic line trom Paris through London and New York t Gal- veston, Texas.
