br @ ANOTHER NEGRO HANGED. An Unnatural Father Poisons His Child to Get Rid of It. STORY OF THE CRIME. The Apparition that Administered the Deadly Dose. STATEMENT OF THE MURDERER. An Attempt to Commit Suicide by Starvation Proves a Failure, SCENES AT THE EXECUTION. TARBORO, N. C., Jan. 16, 1873, ‘The law has again been carried out in a case of murder, and justice has been vindicated, the victim being a negro, and the crime what woula com- monly be called among the higher, more intellec- tual, and certainly more civilized race, by ‘no means an aggravated one, in comparison with many for which criminals yet remain unhung. It was simply terribly unnatural, brutal and barbar- ous in the extreme, HE MURDER OF AN ILLEGITIMATE CHILD BY ITS ALLEGED FATHER, and the latter to-day paid the extreme penalty of the law for his crime. Orren Mercer was a full- blooded negro, about forty-five years of age, of the genuine African type, who, when a@ Mave, had borne an unblemished character, and whose general demeanor towards the race formerly his owners was submissive, respect- fal and kind since bis emancipation. He was five feet eight inches in height, stout built, muscular, black as charcoal, but with a countenance rather pleasant in its expression than otherwise. Orren had been married while he was yet a bondsman to & woman in the same condition, but she died two years ago, and, being of AN AMOROUS TEMPERAMENT, he began to cast about him for another companion to share his trials and adversities, his prosperities and his joys. While in this mood Orren paid con- siderable attention to a woman living on a neigh- boring plantation, named Lizzie Taylor, who, hke himself, had been married, but had been simi- larly deprived of her consort by the never- failing hand of death, She was a widow and he was a widower. Before long they became quite intimate, and, as is usual among the negroes in the South, without regard to any legal ceremonies, they lived together, and Orren was virtually regarded by the neighbors as THE ACKNOWLEDGED AND LAWFUL HUSBAND OF LIZZIE TAYLOR. This woman was, like Orren himself, a full- blooded Atrican, above er beyond the average years of her sex who seek @ partner for better or for worse, and she had a daughter about twelve years of age, a good-looking and very immelligent girl. In about the usual time from the date of Orren’s intimacy with Lizzie she GAVE BIRTH TO A MALE INFANT, which was generally regarded as the child of Orren. Te the neighbors, however, and to the friends of both Lizzie and himself, he persistently denied that the child was his. At this time she worked on the Plantation of Dr. John Mercer, at Town Creek township, in this county, about twelve miles from this, the county seat of Edgecombe. Orren was also engaged asa farm hand on an adjoining plan- tation in the same locality; but since her preg- nancy his visits to Lizzie had become few and far between. Just here a statutory law of this State stepped in to mar Orren’s future prospects of peace and son ene and he became the victim of legal persecution, imprisonment, torture, and finally the gibbet. ‘This is no more nor less than a law, ap- icable to both whites and blacks alike, making it the duty of any justice of the peace to have brought before him any single femaie in his jurisdiction who may have become a mother, and require her to TESTIFY UPON OATH AS TO THE MALE PARENTAGE ofthe child. It isalaw designed to prevent pau- perism and save to the community the expense of raising, Ropporting and educating bastard chil- dren, Whether zie Taylor was compelled to conform to the requirements ef this statute Iam not informed, but it is certain tnat she teok advan- tage of its provisions, went beiore a justice and SWORE THE OHILD to Orren Mercer, claiming that he, and he alone, Was its natural father. Upon this testimony the Justice issued a warrant for the arrest of Orren, under whieh he was duly spprehended, brought up, and after an examination into the facts of the case he was required to give bail to appear at the next term of the Superior Ceurt of Kdgecombe county to answer the charge of bastardy. This so annoyed Urren that he mentally RESOLVED TO FRUSTRATE LIZZIE IN HER DESIGNS and save himself the penalties of the law in the premises, and with this determination he matured @ plan by which the child would be disposed of, and the case would necessarily fall through. It was four months alter the birth of the innocent babe, whe was the subject of such great tribulation to Orren, that he had BESOLVED ON WEAPON POISON. On the 15th of et 1872, Lizzie Taylor arose about daylight, dre: herself and lett her cabin for her dai rs on the farm abeut a quarter of a mile distant. Her daughter, Nellie Taylor by name, got up at the same time, and, after putting on her scanty clothing, proceeded to arrange the reom, put things in order for the day and nurse the child, which was then quietly sleeping in the bed where its mother had suckled it a few minutes before. Soom afterwards the girl ‘Was startied by the apparition or form of @ man in .the doorway, obstruct the dim gray light of morn and darkening all objects in the room. This figure advanced into the house, and it looked so strange that in the uncertain light she mistook it GIGANTIC GOBLIN, or some terrible buckra ghost, and naturally she became very much frightened. The brigutening morning soon enavied her te discover that the aeae Was that of a man with a coat over his head, hi iz his features, and giving to him a hideous appearance. in A SEPULCHRAL TONE OF VOICE this strange visitor said :— “Do you knew me ?”? girl answered, “I do not, I never seed you The Visrron—Who lives here ? The GrRL—My motner and myself and the child lives here. The VisitoR—Is dat all dat lives here ? The Grri—Yes, sah, dat 1s ail. The Visiror—lIs de child aslecp The Grri—Yes, sak, he is. ‘The Visiron—Can I look at him ? The Gint—Yes, sah, you can. The Visiror—Wili the child drink water ? The Girt—No, sah, he ain’t able to drink water yet. He's too little for dat. The visitor then advanced Lo the bed, and, stoop- ing Over, took up the sleeping infant in his arms and gazed steadily in its face. This so disarranged his disguise that the girl, who was all the time an atientive observer of kis motions, saw his leatures, and she instantly RECOGNIZED IN THE FIGURE THE MAN ORREN MER- CER. She watched him closely, as did he watch her also, and after holding the child for a few moments he slowly turned round, so as to get his budy between the girl and the child. But she, apprehensive and pats Rakes Go, % moved cautiously and ake ym his et a bi vi v Tents ef Walon be De lack Vial, the cou. POURED INTO THE CHILD'S MOUTH. He then placed the child in the bed woere he had found it, aud, after threateuiag the girl with the direst vengeance if she toid auybody he had been there, depurted. In the meantime, and from the instant whem the solution, which was caustic pot- ash of the strongest kind, Was poured into the in- fant’s mouth, it beyan to cry in @ most iteous and agouizing manner, Its eks came blackened and in @ very few moments its tongue, which was also blackened, protruded, and the girl, becoming alarmed, ran towards the field to tell the mother. On the way she met Dr. Mercer, to whom she related the cireumstance: and he at once went to the howe and examine the child, The mother soon aiteF arrived, and in a few hours THE UNFORTUNATB INPANT EXPIRED in great agony. The skiu on the face and the scalp came of, and the little victim of this cruel outrage was a fearful looking spectacle. A Warrant Was at once issued for the apprehension of Urren Mercer, and he was sopn aiter ARRESTED and committed to jail for trial, A true bill was found against Orren. He was trie |, convicted and sentenced to be executed, but cone being token to the Supreme Court he obtained a lease of WW fe for a short period ; but the decision of the lower Court bese | coufirmed he was SENTENCE) 10 BR EXKOULED TO-DAY. Nearly ws Weeks ugo Orveu made the following. ITS DEATH ‘BY THAT INSIDIOUS” * * NEW YORK HERALD. SUNDAY, JANUARY 19, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET, shares. I have been marrie ‘me with two children. ‘The e! e near as I can calculate I am about thirty-five years ot age. ‘This w Lizzie Taylor, has been running among other women ant ising me for a long time to prevent me wite, as she wanted me to inarry her, but fwould pay no’ attention to such Proposals, as she is an old, settied woman, That little girl told a lie on me certain. I didu’t hurt the child, and 1 don’t know how the child came to die, 1 did not touch the child, neither house in disguise. I dia not go atall, Iconiess that I had con- ‘on the second Saturday of last i o, but I had nothing to do with the murder of the child. I believe that those people gave the child medicine that killed it, and that it would be alive now if they had not tried to purge it. There is a man, called a sensible man, named Redding Staton, who teached the girl mighty smart. I saw him do so @ the examination. When he was coming froin the grave some oi the people that were walking aloug with him fold me he said, “I ain going to shove Orren into hell: 1 have got him as {want him.” 1 do not know what this man, Redding Staton, gotmad with me about, except it ‘was ‘that I would have no conversation with him, Tsay positively that 1 was not there, and I believe that she was ired by this man, Redding’Staton, and her mother, to put it on me because it was my child.’ Ido not know who was that administered the ison, or fi there had beem any poison ministered. | I believe it was all made up stor: The a rs mother of the child has bem mad with me ever since she ‘ot pregnant, but I had no ill feelings towards her. She ‘old me at the time that I had connection with her: that there was something the matter with her, and I say tuis honestiy, as God Almighty is my, judge that she said so to me at that time ; und, In fact, the child was not mine, although I confess that I was there at the time she says was. I know that this statement will do me no good, but Tam telling the truth, ag God knows. The Sunfay in May, lol, ut’ Upper Town Creck Meeting House, she asked me before some other men if I did not have con- nection with her. Itold her yes, and at the same time ‘asked her if she wanted me to give a bond for the main- tenance of the child, She shook her head at me, and it was a right smart while before she would speak, and then she said there would have to be something else done. I asked her what it was, and she has not told me yet I deny empbatically that I ever did anything to destroy the ehild. "I feel certain that L am Innocent of that crime laid to my charge, and this woman, Lixsie Taylor, is & bad woman, and I am sure she wiil bring some others into trouble. Iwish to the Lord I could have another trial but since that ain't possible I would ike Elder Daniel or Elder Oberry to come and talk with me, as I belong to the Old school Baptists. TRYING TO STARVE TO DEATH. As soon as Orren found that there was no hope for him, and that the gallows would inevitably claim him as its vietim, he conceived THE IDEA OF STARVING HIMSELF TO DEATH. Beginning with this pro; me on the 2d of this month, for twelve successive days, ending day be- fore yesterday, he steadfastly refused to eat any- thing. Hs meals were re; riy brought to him by the colored jailer, and, reiusing to eat at the time, the dishes Cee food were left in his cell. When they came to be taken away they were found to be untouched. Asa consequence of this the miserable wretch became emaciated, feeble, and his countenance assumed @ ghastly hue. On Tuesday Orren found, too late, tha DEATH BY STARVATION WOULD NOT SAVE HIM from his impending doom, and he began to eat again. Remorse, contrition or the pangs of hunger had reduced him to a mere living skeleton. His eyes were glassy and sunken in their respective cay- ities; his cheeks, from the genuine Airican black, were blanched, pale and ghastly, and his whole ex- pression was one of a nervous terror that indicated the atest trepidation and fear.. This was the condition in which I found the criminal this morn- ing in his cell just ‘A FEW MOMENTS BEFORE HIS EXECUTION. As to his spiritual condition little can be said; for, while he refused to eat food, he as stubbornly refused to be talked to either by ministers of the Gone or others. While I remained in his cell he walked with a feeble gait backwards and forwards, only stepping (Oy a moment at a time to rest him- self against the wall. “How do you feel, Orren?”’ I asked. “feel very well,” he said, “’cept ’tlsde pangs of deth.” “Are you not prepared to die ?? “T feels de pangs of deth.’’ “Captain Biggs here asked, “Do you still declare your innocence, Orren ?”” “Yes, sah,” he said, ‘I did not commit de crime.” ‘Mo you kaow of anybody, uwen, who could have had any motive in poisoning the child ?” I asked. “No, sah,” he said, with a solemn shake of his head. There was some more conversation of a desul- tory nature, but there was nothing eiicited from the condemngd man beyond what I have stated, and we left the cell to give him afew moments to himself before he was led to the gallows, The hour was then twive midday, and all the prepara- tions for THE TRAGEDY Pad been completed. The armed guard were placed in position, the colored preachers stood waiting, the physicians stood waiting, the crowd without the enclosure stood waiting, and the scaffold itself stood there in its own corner, waiting also. THE STRUCTURE OF DEATH was the same upon which a criminal was executed two years ago, in the same identical place, sur- rounded by the same _ identical crow of spectators, that could not see for the blanket fence that enclosed it; it looked identically the same, and as peady for use a8 the first day it was erected, and it still retained all its murderous and barbarous purposes of strangulation, identically the same as whem the negro was barbarously and legally strangled upon it two years ago. There was not a symptom of improvement, if a pit one foot and a half deep which was dug beneath the place where the criminal would fall was excepted. It was in perfect keep- ing with all the modern contrivances of legal death to be seen in the South—a machine to send the doomed wretch TO ETERNITY BY THE MOST TORTUOUS ROUTE, and to entail upon his last moments all the concen- trated agony of barbarism that our modern civili- zation can suggest. Is it not possible sometning can be done in this age of murder to ameliorate the execution of condemned criminals and at least provide scaffolds that will not prolong their agony and torture? Can not national legislation effect this? At half-past twelve o’clock Sheriff Battle Bryant went to the cell of the condemned man, and, after pinioning him at the elbows, led him down the stairs, accompanied by his deputies, to the yard. 12 which was situated THE SCAFFOLD. Besides the guard there were about thirty peo- re present within the enclosure. Orren with the jheriff, and leaning on his arm, made his exit in the jail yard through a window. The distance to the steps leading to the scaffold was about twenvy- five or thirty feet, over which he waiked in a shaky and nervous sort ef way. With the assistance of the colored jailer Orren ascended the steps leading to the platform, arriving upon which he took a seat upon a chair. At his request two colored preachers came upon the platform, and one of them made a prayer and the other preached a sermon, which was more an argument in favor of the bard-shell Bap- tist doctrine of religion than the welfare of the condemned man. Three mtnutes past one had ar- rived, and the cap was pulied over the features of the condemned, the rope was loosely adjusted, and in an instant afterwards there was a sharp, quick stroke, and a hatchet quivered in the upright, severing the rope and the doomed wretch SWUNG INTO ETERNITY, struggling as convulsively as his terribly enteebled condition would allow him. The knot slipped to the back of the neck, and though the fall was over five feet, the neck was not broken. He struggled for a few minutes when his body became still. In his enervated condition he could not have strug- led longer, Puisation lasted fifteen minutes; ina few moments afterwards life was declared extinct by the attending physicians, and after hanging twenty-five minutes " THE BODY WAS CUT DOWN, laced in the coffin already provided fer it and de- livered to his friends for interment. Whether guilty or innocent the soul of Orren Mercer was at that time before the great tribunal of eternal jus- tice, anid his just doom was pronounced. THE ORPHANS! BALL, On Wednesday evening, the 22d inst., the six- teenth annual ball in atd of the New York Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum will take place at the Academy of Music. From the energy and unusual veal displayed by the gentiemen constituting the Committee of Arrangements, it is not too much to say that the coming festivities will certainly equai, if not surpass, those of preceding years. The brilliant assemblages that have thronged the spacious halls in times past afford the highest hopes of a gathering on Wednesday evening of the étite of the city, including the customary ‘store of ladies whose bright eyes rain inguence.”’ And what nobler pretext can the fair ladies and gentle- men have for manifesting their nagural and soctal accomplishments than that of befriénding the fath- erless littie ones who have nothing ty hope for in life save the things friends of the needy and the poor ?

Lectures and Lecturers—Colonel John Hay on “The Heroic Age in Washing- ton.” To THe Epiror oF THE HERALD:— To an educated person the ordinary lecture is an insufferable bore. It is an exceedingly lazy method of getting at nothing, instituted, perhaps, for the benefit of country lads and lasses, that they may have a not too loud accompaniment to the whisperings of thelr hearts. Yet, though the world moves, though we are all supposed to be much nearer the millennium than the people of yesterday, it really seems as if ordinary lecturers had broken out in amore virulent form than ever before. Not only are we deluged with the drivel of our own gifted land of gab, but England is sending us all the mediocrity she can conveniently spare. Why do people lecture? Because they have some- thing to say? By no means. Because lectur- ing pays and literature does not. I am aware that Mr. Emerson declares the word pay to be immoral, but, when sorely tempted, even tne thrifty Sage of Concord scorns to play the evan- gelical peacock, Pecuniarily considered, literature is but @ means to anend. It makes that buble, reputation, whereby an author becomes a curios- ity—a grand moral elephant to a public that will Pay more to look at him than to read his books. When E: id sent us Charles Dickens she sent, not only Wer. greatest novelist, but her clevercst actor, As if to spite us for the decision of the Geneva Conference and San Juan Boundary ques- tion, and to prove how exceptional was Dickens’ many-sided genius, she has recently exported lec- turers of a calibre calculated to produce sof- tening of the brain if taken in large quan- tities. This is hard, for we do not need to leave our beloved country to find as much intellectual mush as the average mind can conveniently wade through. But lecturing pays, and if we are fools enough to go and hear nobody is to blame butourselves. Of indigenous mush there isnoend. The third or fourth rate decayed clergyman who, unknown in large cities, travels from town to town delivering himself of platitudes that would put Tupperout of countenance, makes more money during the year than the majority of. first class writers. “How much money did you realize on your Nasby papers?” asked a lady of D. R. Locke. “Not one cent, saving in reputation and in the increased circulation of the Toledo Blade,’ was the reply. But the Reverend Petro- leum Nasby writes a lectyre, entitled “Cussed Be Canaan,” and in a short time accumulaics thousands of dollars! Had the reverend ntileman, “which is postmaster,” remained In his favorite corner grocery at Con- federate X Roads, he might have gone down toeven a drunkard’s grave beiore his patriotic eyes would have gazed upon a like amount of money. So dif- ferent is the standard of literary excellencies that not one-tenth part of the lectures delivered by the most popalar speakers would be printed in our Magazines for either love or money. Compara- tively speaking, the writer has all work and no pay; the lecturer, supposing him to be moderately suc- cessiul, has all pay and no work. What marvel that the rejected addresses of literary aspirants should find their way from the editor’s wa: ‘Das ket to the desk of the lyceum? Nevertheless, I be- lieve in lecturing when it 1s not taken in vain, There are those who cannot fulfil their destiny until put upon their legs. What would become of endell Phillips without the power of speech? There are others who, while writing well, lend so much grace to thetr thouglits by the magnetism of action and utterance as to confer a favor by their personal resence. Such lecturers are benefactors, for ruths are most surely driven home whea reason is inspired by eloquence. yes are excellent; but if we can have both eyes and ears, who will refuse the git? Reading is good, but oratory is better. So thought I last Monday night upon hearing Colone! John Hay deliver his new lecture on “The Heroic Age in Washington.” Not because Colonel Hay is an orator, but because it will be his own fault uu he does not become one. To nobly sway an audience is a glorious power to an earnest soul, anxious to find some reasonable excuse for being alive. Colonel Hay can do this im time if he will. He has a clear, powerful voice, but does not know how to use it. A violin is always the same violin, but it is only the skilled musician who brings out its tone and makes beautiful music. The human voice is a far more exquisite instrument, yet how many, even among professional speakers, cultivate it with halt the care that a stupid school girl gives to the study of her tertured piano? With practice—by which [ do not mean acquiring wretched elocutionary mannerisms, taught in six easy lessons by professors ofthe art how not to be natural—Colonel Hay will sound tne gamut of passion, for the notes are in his voice. Now he is monotonous, failing to pro- duce the fine effects warranted by the matter of his discourse. Modulations are unattempted by him. He makes constant use of the loud pedal, and the critic is impelled at times to put bis hands to his ears, crying, “Piano, pianissime. * The fault is a good one, because it denotes that first requisite in an orator—sound lungs—but it is agreat fault for all that. C'est magnifique, mais ce nest pas Vart. Then Colonel Hay, who should be easy in action, is somewhat stiff, owing, I sheuld say, to self-consciousness. It is diticult’to forget sell on the barren piatform of the lyceum, yet complete absorption is a downright necessity in a speaker who desires to make his audience feel. It is not just, however, to demand all things of a young speaker. Minerva sprang full grown from the head of Jove; but this is the only instance on record of ready-made genius, and Minerva isamyth. Possession being nine points of success, and Colonel Hay possessing CALDWELL’S INFAMY. Ex-Governor Carney Sells Out His Candidacy for $15,000. + PRICES OF LEGISLATIVE OATTLE. The Working Committee of the Kansas Senator— Kaneas Pacific Manipulations—An Elec- tion that Cost $60,000—“Tell the Boys To Be Patient.” WASHINGTON, Jan. 18, 1875, The Senate Committee on Privileges and Elec- tons this morning resumed their investigation into the circumstances attending the election of Senator Caldwell, of Kansas, EX-GOVERNOR CARNEY was examined at great length. He corroborated the testimony heretofore given by Levi T, smith, Caldwell’s partner, to the effect that, at a private interview between Caldwell, Smith and himself, Caldwell offered him (Carney) $15,000 if he would withdraw from the contest for Senator, This ofler he soon afterwards accepted, and signed a paper Pledging himself that he would IN NO CASE BECOME A CANDIDATE: for election as Senator, in return for which he (Carney) received Smith’s note at thirty days for $10,000, given unconditionally, and Smith’s due bill for $5,000, conditioned on Caldweil’s election, The consideration named in the agreement was for expenses incurred and assistance to be ren- dered by Carney. Smith’s note for the $10,000 was paid to Carney at maturity. The due bill for $5,000 was paid last Spring. After the election, and = while Caldwell was on his way to Washington to take his seat in the Senate, Carney met him ina railroad car, and Caldwell told witness that he was aware that the due bill had not been paid, and that as soon as he got to Philadelphia he would remit the witness the $5,000 to pay it. Caldwell did not keep this promise, but spoke to Carney four or five times during the Summer, and just before he came to Washington the next Winter he told Carney that he would soon arrange to get some MONEY FROM THE KANSAS PACIFIC RAILROAD with which to pay the due bill. Caldwell said the Kansas Pacific Company had promised to pay him some money to assist in his election; that they had not yet Gone so, and that so far as he was con- cerned they would get no legislation until they kept their promise and paid him the money. Wit- ness testified that during the Senatorial canvass one day, P. J. Anderson, an employé of the railroad company, came to Smith in his presence and asked for $7,000 to be used in the contest, and wit- ness endorsed Smith’s check for that amount in order that Anderson might get it cashed; witness believed that Anderson got and used the money for peace! purposes in Caldwell’s interest; Cald- well once stated to witness that he (Caldwell) would win the contest if 1t cost him $250,000; sub- sequently Caldwell told witness that HIS ELECTION HAD COST HIM OVER $60,000, Caldwell having told witness that he felt very rateful to him and his friends and would do what ie could for them, several members of the Legisla- ture made written application to Caldwell through Carney for various offices; on one occa- sion when witness presented to Caldwell such a paper Caldwell took out a memorandum bd@ok, and, after referring to it, said, I don’t owe that man anything; 1 PAID THAT MAN FOR HIS VOTE;"? no member of the Legislature had then received any Office from Caldwell, and witness therefore knew of no other way by which tne person re- ferred to by Caldwell could have been paid except by money; Witness could not remember the name of this person; it seemed from Caldwell’s manner on this occasion that he had in his book a list of all the members of the Legislature, with their prices; Mr. Caldwell at other times told witness that he had aid James fF. Leggett $1,000 for his vote, and Mr, Byers, another member of the Legislature, $2,500 for his vote ; before the election Levi T. Smith told Cald- well in witnesses’ presence that he had already involved himself to the amount of $40,000 for Cald- well, which, he feared, Caldwell woulda not recog- nize; Smith added, however, that he would pay one-half the expenses in case he did not succeed by his arrangements in electing Caldwell, where- upon Caldwell said, “ALL RIGHT; GO AHEAD; at times during the canvass Anderson would come to the committee of Caldwell’s friends and say he must have some more money, and Smith would say, ‘Tell the fellows to be patient, they must have alittle patience; the currency of the banks is all paid out, but more has been sent for and will be along presently; Anderson was employed by Caldwell and Smith to see all the members of the Legisiature and get all the votes he could, an frem ey to day he would report that such and such @ member could be coi trolled for, perhaps, $500, $1,000 or $2,000 each; L. McDowell was another member of this working committee, and made similar reports, on the re- ception ef which the committce would discuss what prives ought to be paid. Witness also testified that the Hon. Thomas A. Osborne, who was YESTERDAY INAUGURATED GOVERNOR of Kansas, was a member of the managing com- mittee of Caldwell’s friends which conducted his canvass and purchased votes of members of the Legislature; Smith once told witness that the Kansas Pacific Railroad heat ad had given him $10,000 to aid Caldwell in the contest; witness was taken into the confidence of OC well and Smith, and now testified unwilling! witness talked to many members of the Legislature at the request of Caldwell and Smith; sometimes humor, sentiment, passion, earnestness and lungs, we have a right to ask that he acquire those subtle arts by which the light and shade of his picturesque thought shall best be seen of men. Colonel Hay’s lecture on “The Heroic Age in Washington” teems with suggestion. There is not an indigestible line in it, though from its of symmetry it bears evidence of hasty composition. ‘he material could not be better; the cooking admits of improvement. Colonel Hay is an intellectual spemdthrift, throwing away the richest opportunities by not taking out of this lecture the colossal figure of Lin- coln, placing him upon a separate pedestal, and grouping together his soldiers and lieutenants under the title that now embraces too much and teo little. No one is more competent to treat both subjects than Lincoin’s private secretary, the quickness of whose apprehension will, sooner or mae force him to pay a fitting tribute to his great chief. Fate has peen kind to Colonel May. Ienvy the man who as a student read law in an office adjoin- ing that of Abraham Linceln. | envy him be- cause youth is the era of impressions, and to be brought in contact with a great, rugged nature, that sheds the shams of the world as Flemish ga- bies shed rain, is almost equal to a liberal educa- tion. Uncompromising integrity of character is the grandest attrinute of man. Uncompromising integ- rity was the keynote of Lincoin’s dumbly Homeric life; therefore L envy the clever young journalist who knew our martyred President wisely and well; who can say of him, with as much truth as elo- quence, ‘He belonged to no church, yet he was the uncanenized saint of all churches, He never uttered a prayer in public, yet prayers for him lastened our cause daily with golden chains around the feet of God. He was cold and ungrate- ful to his friends, as republics are; and yet men who never saw him thronged his bidding the road of death as to a festival. | do not wish to make @ faultless monster of him; but he comes nearer than any man Lever knew or imagined io being a type of democratic republicanism incar- nate.” The man who can say this of Lincoln can Say more, for note how clear lis jnudgment:— “There never was a President who so little as Lin- coin admitted personal considerations in the dis- tribution of places. He rarely gave a place toa friend—stiil more rarely bec e he was a frieud. He had one characteristic which was often imputed to him as a anit, but which I think a most creditable qualii He was entirely destitute of gratitude ‘or political services rendered to himself. He filled lus Cabinet with enemies and rivals, and refused any reward to those energetic politicians who did much to nominate him in Chicago. This, not but think, is true republicanism, Tire Re ie is un grateful. Itought tobe, Itis worthy of pur best work without gratitude. It accepts our best ser- vices as Heaven accepts our prayers, not because either need them, but because it is good for us to serve and to worship.” A nertawest wind is not more bracing and invigorating (han this gilmapse of Lincoln’s fidelity to public laterests, than this original and just interpretation of the ingratitude of republics, Let Colonel Hay serve art as earnestly as he worships the me:nory of our mur- dered President and he will be au orator before he | knows it, FREE LANCE. A TRENTON MYSTERY, A Man Frozen to Death in a Corn Field.
