EXAGGERATED REPORTS OF HIS BAD HEALTH. Senator Camertm, who areived here yesterday, had a consultation with Governor Jewell acd afterwards left with his family for Harrisburg, where be expects to remain, managing the cam- paign in Pennsylvania. The Senator stated that the condition of his health had been much ex- aggerated; that he was very much exhausted from the ‘labors of Congress and the severe ‘strain of the national convention, but that his health was in no condition which could not be trully restored by rest. ALLUDING TO POLITICS, he said that General Garfield's nomination was one which Improved upon acquaintance, and it was better to have a candidate who gained in the popular estimation as the campaign went on, than one who went off ina flash and simmered away at leisure. Governor Jewell he said would make an excellent chairman, and would carry on a vigorous and successful cam- paign, and every elernent in the republican party would unite with bim and give him all the substantial ald he would require, He sald bat personal preferences had been dropped, and 9s far as he had been able to ascertain the republicans never presented such a united front, and more than this the factions which under one pretext or another, had left the party are returning, and the outlook was a party.as powerful as whencat Its climax during the struggle of the loyal people of the country to prevent the democratic party from dismem- ee the Union and Mexticanizing the govern- ment TN REGARD TO PENNSYLVANIA, he said he-anticipated a very animated and successful campaign, and would give it his per- sonal attention, as upon its results would not only depend the een and Congressional tickets, but a legislature to chose a United Slates Senator. HIS RELATIONS WITH SENATOR BLAINE. Reference had been made to stavements that between Senator Blaine and himself there was not the most cordial relations since the Chieago convention. ‘Yhe Senator said lacontcaily “That's all bosh. Blaine is all right;” and turning to a railway official gave some direc- tions avout several packages to be forwarded to Senator Blaine at Augusta, General Simon Cameron will remain at the Virginia Springs a few days longer. Political Notes. ‘The democratic editors of Ohio assembled at Co. lumbus yesterday, and the telegraph annow' that “it was decided to push an agyressive campaign from the date of the state conven- tion, July 22.” ‘This means that Gartleld reaily did steal that pavement trom DeGolyer, and the fact will also probably be made to appear that he has kept his mother incarcerated in the Northern Ohio lunatic asylum for several years. ast. The Ohio democratic editor 1s very elfec- ive once he gets fairly roused. Sepator Cameron, who arrived here on his way north last evening, has not been nearly 59 tl as was reported. The publisher of the Phila- delphia Times, ee) from White Sulphur Springs a couple of days ago, says Senator C. himself told him that his health was never better than it was at that time. The following Congressional nominations were made yesterday: Hon. F. E. Beltzhoover, sitting member, unanimously, by the demo- crats of the 19th Pennsylvania district; W. C.

Hellman; W. B. F. ‘treat, by tne Tepublicans of the 5th Indiana district, now represented by Hon. T. M. Browne.

They are French Canadiaus, named Frederick Lapointe and Miss Annie Moreau,both of whom belong to highly respectable families, their united ages not exceeding 30 years.

AN INSANE Man's DEATH.—About three months ae John Marchbank, of Lansingburg, N. Y., who bad previously sola some property, disap- hohe from home, having with him about 3,500. It was supposed that he had gone to Europe, After about five weeks,a man was Boticed on a point of Jand on the bank of Lake Champlain, near Rouse’s Point, acting suspi- clously. Day after day he was watched, and an officer from Fort Edward made repeated efforts to capture him. He succeeded by leaving men secreted near by, and the prisoner proved to be the missing Marchbank, who was insane, and living there a hermit life, having about him only afew dollars in Canada money. He was returned home and taken to an asylum, Last Friday he was taken out by his friends,and Sun- day evening he again escaped from the house, apd search for him proved truitiess.

MORE CONFIDENCE NOW THAN A WEEK OR TWO AGO. ‘There fs unmistakable evidence on every side that therehas been a reaction politically, and | that the nominations of Garfleld and Arthur are growling stronger with each passing day. This, too, not because there is a disposition to belittle the candidacy of Gen. Hancock or to be Nig into the bellef that his nomination a weak one, but rather because the disap- ointments over the result of the Chicago con- vention are fast subsiding, and the party leaders as well as the rank and file are,begin- ning to brace up—so to speak. In allot the government departments It is noticeable that the confidence is growing that Garfleld fs going to be elected. Where. two weeks and more ago. there were many long faces one now finds looks of confidence, and logical arguments put forth, tending to show, at all events, that the repub: llcans are not (as many democrats had hoped) gelng to let the presidential battle go by de- CHAIRMAN JEWEL, who had a long conference with the President yesterday, was eae ey gratified over the result of his interview. He finds that the Pres- ident will heartily co-operate to secure Gen. Garfield’s election, and will co-operate with the national coramittee to the fullest extent consistent with his sense of duty and responal- bility. The leading managers of the party have hopes of even breaking the solid south, and claim that the chances of ire republican party carrying Virginia are equally as good as those of the democrats and greenbackers for carrying Maine.

CHASTINE COX HANGED. GENERAL GRANT DECLINES. Why He Gave Up $25,000 a Year THE EASTERN WAR. QUR RIFLEMEN ABROAD, CHASTINE COX HANGED, Account of the Execution in New York This Morning. NEw York, July 16.—Cox passed a \ntet night, rering between 11 and 12, and failleg intoa deep slumber before 2 o'clock. His qounsel and friends were unremitting yesterda¥ in their efforts to procure a stay of proceedings, wait- tng upon Governor Cornell, who ts in the city, and continuing their labors until a late hour. At 11:57 a message was received at the Tombs bearing the fatal words; The governor refuses to interfere.” At a few minutes past 5 o'clock Cox awakened, and quietiy rose from his bed. He did not exhibit In the slightest degree fear of aby kind. He spoke to no one, but was ab- sorbed, and probably engaged,in meatal prayer. He seemed to be under no reiigtous excitement, and was outwardly caim and self-possessed and even cheerful, At 5:30 he called Deputy Aarons and requested him to notify the Rev. Mr. Cook that he was ready to receive him, and Mr. Cook Went into the cell. He met him at the door and shook hands with him cordially. After the re- liglous exercises Cox ate a hearty breastast. and then more prayers were sald until the arrl- val of the sherlif and his deputies. Atabout s o'clock a. m. Cox was taken FROM HIS CELL TO THE GALLOWS. The way was up the corridor of the court: Ae entrance ‘d, directly under the Brid Sheriff Bowe and Undersberi!l Ste. veus came first, then followed Cox, with Revs. Dr. Russel, Stewart, Crk, Law and Hector. The black cap was <a the head of the condemned man, and the fatal noose dangled trom his neck. His arms were pinioned at the d with a firm step and com- As the procession reached Ose 5 the gallows he looked at 1t with seeming cool- demeano ness. Then hts eyes dropped and his lips moved in prayer ashe took his station beneath the cross-plece. The noose was then hooked into the pendant rope, and the black eap drawn over the face. One of the ministers talked to the condemned man in a low tone, and continued until motioned to retire, THE EXECUTION. Heretofore a platform or floor for the culprit to stand upon has always been laid. This time the doomed man stood upon the Belgian pavement, With which the yard is laid. There was only an instant of suspense, when the executioner, hidden behind the board screen at the end of the gallows, was signalled by the sheriff, and cut with an axe the cord holding the heavy weight. The condemned rose four feet simul- taneously with the sound of the axe, and then with a rebound he fell back. Then ensued the contortions of the body and contractions of the muscles usual in cases of death by strangula- tion, A minute later and these ceased, and shortly after all was still. The coroner's jury bad been sworn in, and after a brief inquest the body was removed by an undertaker, The tuneral will take place on Sunday, from the col- ored church on 15th street. COX'S CRIME, CAPTURE AND CONVICTION. The crime tor which Chastine Cox was exe- cuted was One £0 atrocious in its character that it should be a matter of surprise that more than thirteen months has been allowed to intervene between the commission of the deed and the punisbment of the murderer. The victim was Mrs, Jane L. DeForest Hult, who was found on Uke morning of June 11th, 1579, dead in her bed, with her limbs tied to the bed-post, and many articles of jewelry stolen. Occur as it did toa lady moving in good society in New York city, the murder caused intense excitement, and the police were very active in endeavoring to trace the murderer, but some wiseacre among the officials started the theory that suspicion attached to the husband of the unfortunate lady, and while they were on this wild-goose chase the actual assassin was strutting about in the city with some of the plunder upon bi3 person. Finally the New York police did tind a clue. Upon the person of a colored girl in a house of ill-repute was found a valuable topaz necklace, which the ill-fated lady bad worn in the presence of royalty a 4 a visitto England. The girl confessed that it had been a gift to her from Chastine Cox, aud her description of the giver was published.’ He, however, had disa) from the city, ar researches of the police were In vain. At tats juncture Mr, R. C. Baich, a reporter of the ton Herald, while walking in the streets of that city was struck by the resemblance of a ne in agvance of Lim tothe description given of the mhurderer. He followed the man into a col- ored meeting house. A brief absence from the church enabled him to get the assistance of a policeman, and the murderer was soon in the erp of the law. Cox was taken to New York, and scon placed upon trial. The evidence that had accumulated neath him was so convincing that the jury found him guilty of murder in the fast degree. On the 17th of July he was sen- tenced by Judge Cowing to hang August 29th. Motions for a new trial delayed the execution, but on the 6th of April, 1880, the court of appeals aMrmed the judgment of the court below. On the 12th of April he was sentenced to be hung on the 25th of May, but the governor respitea him to July 16th. COX'S CONFESSION.
