WW eee TS ‘DEATH PEgALrY. Rxecutior, of Jobn Pe'nins at Norfolk—Ben- jamiv, Jefferson’s T,cath Sentence Commuted to Imprisonme”.¢ for Life=Perkins’ Last Vrerds—He Peg Denying His Guilt. NORFOLK, Va., Oot. 9 1868 Anacccant was published some time since ‘in the HFR4*D of a gre,ss ontrage being perpetrated on the person ofa few ale named Serah J. Ford, by two men famed Joha Y erkins and Benjamin Jeferson. Jeffer- fon Was @ Fegyro and Perkins wasa white man, The Risgracefal aair created great excitement at the time of it g occurrence among the people of this sec- ton of tse country, and after the arrest of the eriml- nals ar ,q during their subsequent trial much anxiety Was 4° i by ali classes in relation to their fate, When at Je gt it was learned that the full penalty of the law Wary about to be visited on them, the hideousness of Mg act and all the circumstances attending it tended ¥ reatiy to banish all sympathy for the unfortunate ¢gon Who were doomed to atone with their lives for Ane commission of their brutal crime, The Court adfudged them to the scaifold, and to-day was the @ppointed time on which they were to surrender up ‘éheir lives upon the gallows, n GHY BEFORE THE EXECUTION. ‘The last night of the earthly existence of the con- @cmned had arrived, and again, for the last time, did the humane priest administer the holy sacrament ani whatever religious consolation waa possible. Both seemed resigned to their fate, and so expressed themselves to the officials in the jail and the few visitors allowed to see them, Perkins, the white man, in his cool composure, showed the superiority ‘of his race over the African, for Jefferson, the negro, appeared terror stricken and nervous, starting at every noise and eyeing narrowly everybody who approached him. About cight o'clock P. M. Father Plunket received a despatch from the two individua Depass and Baker, who had been exerti selves to procure the pardon. of the conden tating that the Governor had commuted the sentence of Jeiterson to imprisonment for lie in the pentientiary, Without loss of time the holy iather proceeded to the jail with the glad Udings. Pindin, eated in his cell, he eatied him to th hrough the tron bars in- formed him that his sentence had been commuted to imprisonment for life, Whereupon, i a paroxysm of yy, the negro exciaimed, “Thank God, if it was a nd years.” ‘This news then spread through ui, and it was remarked that Perkins remained eriectiy unmoved when he heard it, maintaimly, hat se ty of expression that had characterize: his whole imprisonment. The following is the oifl- cial document, bearing the seal of the State:— JEFYERSON'’S REPRIRVE. ith of Virginia to the Sheriff and Jailer of the t appearing to me that Benjamin Jeffer- nce of death for the crime of rape, and ofore respited until the th inet. is a ft wudject for ney, 80 !ar at least In that there should be some muitiga- C tence; therefore I, Henry H.

H. WELLS, Governor of Virginia. PREPARATIONS FOR THR EXECUTION, ‘Under the supervision of Sheriff Etheridge all the Seas had been completed over a week elnce. ‘he scasfold erected for the purpose of a double exe- cution was an ordinary but substantial structure. and located in a corner of the jatl yard enciosure in Sul! view of the condemned, who could see every movement of the workmen that built it and hear the noise of every hammer that drove @ nail in it, A simple drop supported by a moveable prop, with a space for a fall of about four feet, fully describes the scaffold, A Sheriif’s guard or posse not being deemed suMcient a military guard was asked for to insure the stern decree of the law. Soon atter Father Plunkett left the jail Perkins retived, but passed a sleepless night, Again and again he attempted to court “nature’s sweet re- ftorer,”” but without success, His pipe was con- stantly in his mouth, and the narrow limits of his cell were toand fro during the entire night. Occasionally he would ie down, but only for a mo- ment or two, and then as he walked up and down the cell he prayed audibly, Ali this time, however, he was wonder‘ully calm, and soon, for the last time, he saw the light of heaven as it gleamed through the grating of his window cell, As instructed by the priest, Perkins fasted until nine o'clock, when that divme came and was closeted with him the whole morning. During this time a large crowd had assembled without the jail, and the presence of a detachment of the Twentieth in- fantry, under the command of Lieutenant Rogers, added to the solemnity of the scene, Tho few persons mentioned above were admitted to the jail- Yard filled it to witness the final tragedy, and these ‘were kept at a respectiui distance from the scaifold by the cordon of mibtary bayonets, In stature Perkins ts about five feet ten in height, ‘well bulit, sandy complexion, with musiache, thirty: wix years of age and rather good looking than other- wise, He isa native of Wakelldd, N. H., and early in the war enlisted in the Second regiment from that State, He was present at the first battle of Manassas and served trough the eS part of the War, but subsequently deserted, He las since asso- ciated himself with a gang of negro bandit. His sister resides in Massachusetts, and he has a brother in Calitornia, neither of whom he wishes to know anything of his terrible fate, MORNING OF THE EXECUTION, Hour after hour passed tediously, aud the favored few in the jail yard moved about uneasily, some go- dng out and returning in great haste as if they would ‘miss Ue approaching Geath scene, Without, large crowds, chiefly negroes, thronged on housetops and trees in the vain endeavor to gratify the morbid cu- riosity of witnessing the execution of a criminal whose trial the majority of them had attend. ed, but the wails of the jail hid the sight from their view. Twelve o’clock arrived and yet the priest was closeted with the condemned, At- tending members of the press, the military and others became impatient, but at length it was nounced that at hali-past one o’ciock the sentenc of the law would be executed, and the greedy scaf- fold w uld receive its victim. About a quarter to one o'clock the sheriff, accompanted by the jailor, visited the cel! of the condemned for the purpose of Trob.ng him in a white saroud. This was done, and though solemn and appalling to a few spectators, the unfortunate man was cool, not a muscle or fa nerve betraying the slightest emotion. The riest, with his sacred robes and prayer ok in hand, never deserted Perkiws io these trying moments, and in response to an interrogatory of your correspondent said lerkins was py to die and he believed was not afraid to die; further, that the condeinned has steadfastly maintained bis Innocence and that he would so state when upoa scailo.d, whether he was believed or not. ON THR BCAYPOLD. At twenty minutes past one, accompanied by the Ppricat, sheriuf and jailor, the doomed man was arched to the seailold, which he approached aud ascended with a firm step and a composed demeanor, Kueciing down with tue reverend fatuer, he repeat after him the Litany of the Catholic Chure! an an unshaken tope of voice, A solemn silence Teigned during this ceremony, the soldiers staudlag round the scaioid with Oxea bayonets and the crowd with uncovered heads, The deputy sheriiy then read to the condemued the followiug sentence of the Court:— John Perkins, under tho sentence of the county court of Rorfoik county, prouonnced on the 2th day of Atgust, 1588, Against you, upon the charge of rape, perverrated by you on the body of Barah K:tzaveth Ford, that you be hanged by the ee e dead, ant that exccution of the judgment by the sherii if of Norfolk county, ,, 1868, between the he forenoon aad two o'clock in the at the usual place of wing the sald sentence, and you are now at | ¥ the said sentence or the said c: mercy on your soul.

The Inquest om the Body—Verdict ef the = Jury. Coroner Railing held an inquest last evening at the Fifth Avenue Hotel on the body of the late How- ell Coty, of Georgia, who died suddenly at that place at half-past ten o’clock yesterday morning. A Jary having been sworn the Coroner commenced to take testimony at four o’clock P.M. The first wit- ness examined was Mrs. Mary Anne Cobb. She tes- tified as follows:— TESTIMONY OF MARY ANNE COBB. Deceased is my husband; for the past six months or more he has complained of oppression about his chest, which he thought arose from dyspepsia; upon going up stairs he would be taken with sudden shortness of breath and pain in the region of the heart accompaniea by a sense of suffocation, These symptoms became worse; but since our arrival North, which has been since the 19th or 20th of September, he has appeared much better. This morning pe rose in his usual health, Between nine and ten o’clock, while stand- ing at the foot of the stairs of this conve with a gentieman, he sat down on one of the steps and atmost immediately put nis hand over his heart, leaned back upon the stairs, but raised his head up twice, at the game time gasping for breath, His head then fell to one side. A physician was sent for, who soon arrived and deceased was removed to a sofa; after being laid there he gasped but once and then afed; ae had bd complained im the least of any symptoms apoplexy, Alter the testimony of Mrs. Cobb had been taken the inquest was adjourned until seven o'clock P, M., but it was nine P. M, before the jury again sat, when. the following evidence was taken:— EVIDENCE OF ANTHONY RUPPANER, M. D. I reside at the hotel; about half-past nine this A. M. I was called to see deceased, who was a guest at the house; Ifound him lying at the foot of the stairs of the parlor floor insénsible, his face turned towards the right shoulder, breathing stertorously, foaming at the mouth, with livid face, ‘pupils dilated, eyes tnjected no pulse at the wrist, pulsation at heart feeble; had hig} removed to the reception room; applied restora- tives without success, and aimost immediately after his removal to this room he expired; in my opinion death resulted by pressure at base of brain. TESTIMONY OF JOSEPH J, WILLIAMS. Tam a guest at this house and knew deceased intl- mately; all that L have known him to complain of lately was cold and headache; this difficulty he complained of yesterday; this morning about quarter to nine ~ o’clock I spoke to him at the table; he then looked better than Ihave seen hin for some days; about hall-past nine I was at the foot of the parlor stairs in conversation with Mrs. Cobb and Btshop Beck- with; deceased stood by as a third person, occasion- ally conversing, when suddenly he threw lus hands up to his head and, lookingaround, sat down on one of the steps, leaned back and appeared insensible; Mrs. Cobb was standing by, and supposed it to be an attack of vertigo; seeing his face becoming contorted and the evidences of spasin with hard breathing, I thought it serious and went for Dr. Ruppaner, who arrived immediately, and after removing deceased to a room he almost instantly died. THE VERDICT, ‘The jury, & majorfty of whom were mectcal men, after @ short consultation returned the following verdict:—That the deceased came to his death by compression of the brain, a8 indicated by spasm, congestion of the face, retraction of one limb, dilita- tion of pupils, stertor and other symptoms which usually attend death from this cause. QUARANTINE AFFAIRS. Reply to Mr. Johnson’s Letter. STATEN ISLAND, Oct. 9, 1868, To TuR EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— 1 see by to-day’s Heratp that Mr. H. W. Johnson essays to answer your home thrust queries abont the sale of the Quarantine property, but his effort Is 80 lame and lawyer like that I cannot resist the temptation of sending you a few inquiries which Mr. Johnson may be puzzled but cannot be honestly pre- vented in answering. It is within my recollection that prominent merchants of New York city have appealed from Dr. Swinburne’s autocratic decision, where extortionate charges were levied on them, to the Board of Quarantine Commissioners, and by the Board were referred invariably to Mr. Johnson. Now here is a question for that gentleman to answer, which goes further than anything else to show the real motive which prompted lis reply to your article and inspired him to frame that plausible exculpation of his employers. Why has Mr. Johnson uniformly told the merchants who were referred to him by the Board of Quarantine Commissioners that no appeal could be made from the decision of Dr. Swinburne, no matter how flagrantly wrong that decision might be, notwithstanding the law lays down distinciy that the Board of Commissioners shall be constituted a Board of fk from the decisions of the Health Orficer?, With whom is the collusion? If Mr. John- son, it is to be supposed, unwittingly admitted to certain gentlemen that this opinion of bis was the reverse of being either legal or correct, are his state- ments in the letter yea Publish to be relied upon aa a faithful account of the transaction in the gale of the Quarantine grounds? But he has failed to answer all your ques- tions, Mr. Johnson admits he has had the management of the sale of the Quarantine Jand, You asked him when it was advertised; you meant, of course, the recent sale. He says it was done extensively, yet, sirange to say, though I read ail the morning papers of New York, it never came under my eyes. Where did the sale take place? In Mr. Johnson's office or at the office of the Board of Commissioners ? On this point he gives you no infor- mation. He says two written oifers were received by the Board and one of them was accepted. This can hardly be called a sale, unless it be understood as @ private arrangement for the accommodation of interested parties. The people of Staten Island took a deal of interest in the dispost- tion of this property. There were many po them anxiously expecting the government woul go the honest and most sensible way to work when it found no single purchaser and divide the fame into lots, to be disposed of separately to the highest bitder, In this manner a much larger sum could have been realized, the industry and weaith of the community would have been promoted and a great deal of detrimental scandal spared, We have no contidence down here in the reputed bona fide pur- chasers—Shortiand, Wiener and Raymond. The first, we are aware, is one of the favored friends of Dr. Swinburne, who procured him the profitable busl- ness of quarantine Lightering and cooperage at twice the regular rates. The second is another of the Doc- tor's friends, and the third is probably the same, bat he 13 suliciently upkuown to defy identification, Mr. Johnson should next inform you whether these men have paid the cash agreement of $100,000, and then give his opinion, to the best of his ability, as to whether he thinks they are capable of paying the bal- ance of $129,000 out of their own pockets, The people of Staten Island cannot clearly see where &t least one of the so-called purchasers real- ized the means to enable him to take a part tn this investment. The wonder is if Dr. Swinburne could throw any light on the subject. It is stated the deed of sae was signed after Fibel eat warned the ier ernment oficers of the character of the transaction. The proper iM ig worth all that you have stated, and its prospect ive value is something incalculable. Now, as Mr. Johnson is so very courteous and accommo- dating, he will not, I trust, deem it a trespaas on his kindness to answer When and where the deed of sale was recorded. Three months have elapsed since the eveut occurred, but the County Clerk at Rich- mond has yet to heat, unless he learned it through the medinm of your paper, that twenty acres of the soll of Staten Island have been bartered away.. And apologizing again for my many impor- tunivies, would Air. Jounson tell, at the same time, what were the encumbrances, amounting to $150,009, which the Board of Commissioners has had to pay, as he states ? In conclusion, and withont apology, I would ask Mr. Johngon, who ts @ lawyer, if tt ever occurred to him that his indefatigable services in accomplishing the sale alter so many abortive efforts ought not to be recompensed something tore liberal than a mere professional fee?

CERTAIN REMEDY FOR A BAD COLD, ‘When persons take what i# called a ‘bad cold” there is generally more or less inactivity of the liver and stomach. At the commencement of such an attack the common prac- Uce Is to give something to “ato though the cough 1s offen no more than one of the means which nature uses to loosen and dislodge the motbid matter which em. ‘Cough medicines," so called, if any they pretend to be, might do harm'if they h without removing the obstructions whic ; butall who have given them a fair trial must red that they have no beneficial effect of any Kind, and the reason is that they pass into the stomach without tonching the tun; In some casos when the congh appears to be checked imme, th fintters himself that he is better, but in the meantime the real causes of the disease are unabated, the morbid matter accu- nulates, various distressing aymptoms follow, and consump- tion 1s the result, ‘These troubles can be prevented and the “bad cold” may be completely removed. By the course wo propose the cure will be so perfect that ‘the very inability to take a fresh cold from every trifling change of woather will be obviated. The medies which we confidently offer are one box of Schenck's Pulmonie Syrup, take a dose of the pills (say four of them), and, after thene operate, take the syrup according to directions.’ Then take a pill evéry night, or every other night, as the state of the ela may require, for two oF throe nights. ¢ operation of the pills cleanses the stomach and gives the Pulmontc Syrup an opportunity to relax the mucous mem- brane and to penetrate the whole system. This course will remove the cough or cold, and leave the stomach and liver in such a healthy condition ‘that taking a fresh cold would be almost imposiible, for colds are seldom caught while these organs are in good working order. Doubtioss you have ob- Mat sometimes you may go about in heary rain and east winds, through snow, slush and all kinds of bad weather without any unpleasant consequences, and at other times the least exposure will bring on avery bad cold. Then, when you find yourself vory Uablé to eatch cold, take it for Srantéd that there 1s somo derangement of ‘the liver or mach.
