The bet- ting was even money on the result, and great ex- pectations were expressed of fast time and a fine race between the youngsters. Every person was disappointed at the result, as Tanzy distanced Lady Sutton the first heat, the latter making a succession of bad breaks from the start to tne finish. «, The second trot was a match for $1,000 between ‘iiliam Lovell’s bay mare Topsy and Willlam Mo- Mahon’s chestnut mare Grace Bertram, mile heats, ‘best three in five, in harness, Grace Bertram was & great favorite previous to the start, but being beaten by Topsey the first heat very easily the latter had x ‘the call in the betting, and continued the favorite to the end, Topsy won the match in three straight heats, and trottea better throughout this race than ‘We ever saw her before. ‘The third event wasfor a purse and stake of $2,000, mile heats, best three in five, between trot- * ters with running mates. There were three entries, comprising George Carpenter's brown gelding Kingston and mate, Mr. Borst’s chestnut stallion Honest Allen and mate, and D. Mace’s brown geld- ing India Rubber Bon and mate. The latter did not put m an appearance, and the Kingston and Allen teams trotted forthe money. Honest Allen and” mate were the favorites before the start at nearly three to one, and continued in favor to the tame of postponement, notwithstanding that King- Bton.and mate won the first heat, made a dead heat of the third ana won the fourth according to the Gecision of the judges. This was great race as far.as it progressed, the heats being very close, There.was some criticism on the ground about the yudges’ decisions in the third and fourth heats, and ‘we were not surprised to hear it, us in the third heat Kingston and mate came under the wire three orfour feet in front of the other team, and the judges made a dead heat of it, while in the fourth heat the Honest Allen team came home two lengths infront of the others, and this heat was given to Kingston. On inquirmg of the judges why they ook the heat away from the Winners and gave it to the others they stated that Honest Allen had run considerably in , She heat. This was an error on their part, however, for both dnmvers averred that the stallion never broke up from the time he started until he returned to the stand. The race was then postponed unul ‘his afternoon. There is no doubt but that King- ston’s mate prevented him from winning the race im three straight heats, as the runner tired badly at the end of each mile.

About forty solid looking gentlemen, representing the great inventive genius of America, met at half- past seven last night, in room 14, in the Astor House, in response to an invitation signed with the mystic initials, “R. G. McD.,’’ for the purpose of fur- thering the interests of inventors, &c., in general. Among them were such men as &. S. Bennett, of the Co-operative Manutacturing Company, Robert Spencer, J, W. Haudren, Dr. J. W. Powell, ©. P. Ne Weatherby, B. L. Goulden, F. ©. Bartlett, J. W. Blake, J. T. Sample, of the Pittsburg Gazette, W. Wright, H. Tremper, E. H. Guernsey, B, W, Patten, A. S.

Clark, and others. At half-past eight Clinton Roosevelt, of courtly presence, recalling the powderad dignitaries of the pre-revolutionary nobdlesse of France, was called to the chair. Dr. Powell and Mr. Handren were elected Vice Presidents; Dr. Sample, of the Pittsburg Gazette, Secretary. The Doctor read the call, Cap- tain R. G, McDougal stated the origin and objects of the meeting; that the projectors had a little supper after the American Institute Fair, on the 3d of November, and sketched out a plan to have lectures, libraries, mutual beneflés and so forth in an arrangement by itself, not mixed up with outside influences; that the business could not be transacted on that festive Friday, and that they adjourned, settling that this night's mecting should ve vated, Te speaker Nad assamed the responst- bility of executing the idea informally adopted. All preliminary expenses were paid. (Cheers.) He haa given twenty years’ thought to the subject; had thought ‘Inventors’ and Artisans’ Grand National Union’ a good utle—national, not local— A PRICELESS BOON to poor inventors. Men of wealth guaranteed sup- port if the scheme promised well. All inventors and artisans ip metals, clays or What-not wouid be eligivie for membership, not great manufacturers. Capital must not be a controlling influence. It must act on the principle of exisung mechanics’ and trades’ unions, There might be life members—men taking an interest in thelr success—witnout the privilege of voting. Honorary members, also old in- ventors who had won renown, aud might not take an active part, He moved that the meeting now arrange for calling a National Convention, to be held 13th, 14th and 15th December. This was seconded and carried uvantmously. The Presideat suggested that authors, artists and men of science might be associated with inventors. Copyrights Were the same as patents. Authors, who guided public opinion and had fresh ideas, would be an accession of strength. Alter some amicable dis cussion, in which quite a number took part, this improvement was embodied in the original pro- eae. the title beiug so far amended. Captain icDougal, amid immense applause, PRODUCED ‘THE CORNER STONE In bullion fractions, twenty-five silver dollars, en- graved with initials and date, and claiming the re- lemption of the first with a $5 bill, requested that the others should be put up to auction as Keepsakes, and Was sanguine taey’d etch a thousand eacn, an sat down visibly affected. F. J. Rider, was | then elected Treasurer, and made an appropriate speech, “not long, but strong.” On motion sepa- rately for each an Executive Commitice of ten New | Yorkers, 80 a8 to have @ quorum in the city, and five outsiders, with the aiready elected officers ex-officio mempers, was elected, with power to fill death and other vacancies among them; to associate provincial coadjutors and branch com- mittees; to resolve themselves into sub-committees on specialties; to sow the idea broadcast and eventuaily have offshoots m every great city in every State in North America. “The chosen are Captain R, G, McDougal, Chairman; J. Wilson McDonald, sculptor; J. W. Blake, A. 8. Cameron, C, Montague, of Boston; L. McCormick, of Chicago, the inventor of the reaper, whose picture adorns ‘the Cooper Institute; A.

Patten. It was thought there was now work for a Corresponding Secretary. Dr. Sample was transferred to that Portfolio, and at a little caucus of the Execu- Uve Committee Mr. Lindsay, of hydraulic reputa- tion, was appointed Recording Secretary, and the) proposed to set about draiting a constitution an ylaws, &c. General and somewhat desultory views were next In order, and it was arrived at that one main end of the association would be to give every man, woman and child, however poor, of whatever race or color, ig Meer to perfect their 1deas— providing paper, instruments, &c., legal ex- penses, &c., iree or alded—while they migne in re- turn assign part of thelr profits; but details were reserved for the executive meeting. SOME SKIRMISHING took place about the proposed date of the conven- tion, one party thinking 1¢ premature—that invent. ors might think the affair a humbug and hold aloof unless well and rsistently brought before them. and that visitors for the holidays might stay for the convention, the others holding that New Year's calls might interfere with the visitors; and that people who can ring a bell in China in twelve hours will find thirty-five days long ago. The sth of November was tenaciously insisted on as the future anniversary. Some irrelevant remarks were made about the now defunct American Institute Fair and the meeting adjourned, highly satigfed and sanguine of stupendous success irom somewhat small beginnings.

On the evening in question she had been dispensing gladness and instruction among one of the neighboring families, and about six o’clock she started in the broad dayhgnt of a summer afternoon for her home, about a mile and a half distant. She had proceeded quietly nearly half way on the line of the North Carolina Railroad, when she passed Mack Swann, the negro, who was stand | sicians, and the boay war cut cluding the aged huaband of the laay who was the victim of the condemued, and a few of her relatives, besides your correspondent and another member of the press, A strong and eiticient guard had been summoned and were posied both without the jail yard and around the scaffold within, These FINAL PREPARATIONS concluded, at afew moments before twelve midday the condemned man was led from the jail by the Sheriff and his deputies, surrounded by a strong armed guard. He inarched frmuy to thie xcatfold, exhibiting his fortitude in a remarkable degree, and ascended it tirmly and steadily. Enveloped in w ghastly black robe or shroud he stood resolutely on the drop before his exit into that unknowa eter. is" jpecticle that sirack awe into the hearts of Witnessed tt, however hardened tuey may w have been. Sheriff Cullom, standing a little to the | left and somewhat mm rear of the condemned, read | r SENTENCE OF DEATH, concluding by remarking that the fatal hour had arrived, and askiug Swanalf he had anything to say, He replied, in the same firm voice, “No, nothing; I hope tiat my friends will all meet me in heaven, I know 1 am going to heaven.” Another and final appeal to tne Throne of Mercy was then oflered by the clergyman, after which the halter was placed over Swann’s hea!, the cap was drawn over the features, and the awiul ceremonies of the executioner being completed at one minute past twelve o'clock, THE DROP PELL. A majority of those present in the jail yard turned their heads to shut out the terrible sight which shortly before they had been 80 eager to wit- ness, aud wheu they looked again the body of the condemned wretch was struggling and dangling in the vacant space made by the yet swinging drop, and beneath the ghasuly gallows above. it was @ scene which, once witnessed, no one ever wishes to see again—a horrible, appalling, sickening sight, that causes a cold shudder to run wnrough the body, @ dizziness of the head and @ sensation akin to deathly sickness to folluw.

CoLuMBIA, 8. O., Nov. 8, 1871, Ihave just arrived from Union Court House this morning. The arrest of citizens was resumed at an early hour, The infantry which arrived on Mon- day last picketed all the roads leading into the ‘town and refused to permit any person to leave or enter. Leaving my room [found drawn up on the Street in front of the hotel @ boay of soldiers, with United Staves Marshal Johnson and his assistant on the porch. Mr. Hughes, proprietor of the hotei, was called out and summarily arrested. Another man, whose name I have not learned, was mmimediateiy atter taken into custody. Squads of troops were then sent with deputy marsials to various parts of the town to make arrests, From the list of names on the paper I saw in tne hands of the Deputy Marshal Lexpect that a large Dumber were taken up. ‘To-day the spectacle was one 1 hope never again to see. It was painful in the extreme. When f left Union on the cars for Columbia the Ing on the railroad track. Little did the poor old lady ; town was being scoured by the troops. As fast ag imagine that he looked at her with the eyes of a Mend ' and that he was tnen contemplating the horrible | crime of which she was to be the innocent and harmless victim. He remained standing on the railroad track for some time alter she had passed before he had firmly resoived on the commission of the helifsh deed, or perhaps something prevented him from sooner attempting it. Whichever of these theories is the true one matters not, but she had not proceeded far when, urged by a Satanic impulse, he followed and overtook Mrs. Peeden when she was Just one-quarter of a mile from her home at Boon Hill. Creeping stealthily up behind her, and before the poor woman was at all aware of his presence, the villain seized her roughly around the waist with one arm and by the neck with the otner hand, alter the manner of a garroter, and then DRAGGED HER ACROSS the railroad into the woods on the opposite side, where he threw her violently to the ground. Her voice, stifled by the fiena’s grip on her throat, she could utter no cry for mercy or heip, even if such could avaii her; but with her feeble woman’s strength, rendered still more feeble by her great age, she struggicd with ali her might and main to free herself 1fom his grasp and save herself from an ignominy to which death is preferable. It was in vain, however, that she writhed ana twisted in the scoundrel’s powerful grasp. Hiseyes glared upon her with @ beastly passion, his hot breath beat against her face, and soon becoming almost power- Jess from terror and faint from extauston he held her with the tenacity of @ savage aud accomplished his vile and HORRIBLE PURPOSE, after which the fiend fled. When the poor woman recovered her consciousness she was scarcely able torise. Her throat was swollen and bleeding; ber clothes were torn in the violence of the struggle; from the force with which she hail been thrown to the ground two of her ribs had been broken; her person was covered with bruises, and it was with the greatest difficulty she got up and tottered the remuinder of the way home. For weeks her life Was almost despaired of, and, though occasionally able to rt she has nin a lngering state of health ever since. It can readily he imagined the state of feeling prodaced in this orderly and quiet community when her tale of woe became Known. She fad recogaized at first sight the villain, who was well kuown in that section of the country as @ notorious thief and criminal by NATURE AND INSTINCT, and his apprehension was, therefore, soon effected, notwithstanding several dexterous and desperate attempts which he made to escape. He had been so inured to crime, and hed 80 frequenuly escaped the punishment which he so often and justly merited, that he seemed to acjulre a very relish for violating the law itn the most out- rageous manner that his villainows mind could suggest, until at last justice brought him to a felon’s doom on the scaffold. The greatest excite- ment and tndignation prevailed among tke people fora considerable period, and threats were freely uttered of avenging the flendish deed summarily, Without regard to other Judge or jury than that of JUDGE LYNCH; but so repugnant isthe idea of mob law to the people that even this terrible crime could not in- dace them to put it into practice. The more ex- cited and loudest in their demands for summary vengeance were held in check and soon quieted, and the wiser counsels of age and peace and law prevailed, and the criminal was lodged in jail here. Upon presentment to the Grand Jury @ true bill was found against him, and his trial took piace betore the Superior Court of this county at the September verm. His Honor Judge Samuel Watts presided. Experienced and able counsel were assigned by the Court to conduct the defence; and ‘\he jury empanelled to wy tic accused was com- posed of SIX WHITES AND SIX BLACKS according to the most approved demands of loyaity and reconstruction, Feeling ran so high in this case, and so great was the mterest jmani- fested in it that the court was thronged its utmost capacity during the trial The evi- dence was full, conclusive and terribly convine- ing, even to & most remarkable ideutification of the prisoner by his infirm and helpiess victim. When the case was Age to the jury there was little doubt as to the result, and this was fully justified by the foreman’s announcement when they reap- peared in their box. “GUILTY” was the simple, solemn and awful word—the unanl- mous verdict of that mixed jury—and a buzz of ap- Brea Tran through the thronged court room, for every living soul felt couvinced before- hand as to that verdict, The doomed man heard his conviction with the svwlid composure Average temperature for corresponding ‘date No, 289 Spring street yesterday. by the Commussioners of Emigration, be oy. of the await the result of the mjuries, the prisoners Were arresied they were taken to the depot under guard, aud no person allowed to ap- proach them.
