6 BRERZES FROM THE SEA. Ceesarphobia at Long Branch. THE ~NEW GAME OF CHIVALRIE. A Diabolical Plot of the Ceesarites. How the Public Mind Is;To Be Perverted. cA SLIM ATTENDANCE OF VISITORS, "The Extortions of the Seaside Sharks. LONG BRancH, July 24, 1873. ‘When Her Majesty Queen Victoria is at Windsor ‘the British Mag waves over the Castle. In the days of the Empire when Napoleon was at Fon- tainebleau the imperial banner used to be displayed asa token of the royal presence. While General Grant is smoking his partagas and remas at the Presidential mansion on the Jersey shore the Stars and Stripes foat trom the fagetai? on the lawn. It is not surprising that the coincidence should ‘excite suspicion and alarm in the breasts of those ‘visitors at Long Branch who have been innocu- lated with Cesarphobia during the heated term; ‘but when, in addition to thjs, it is remembered that the famous ‘cottage by the sea’’ is actually docated on the “crown” of a hill; that Mark Antony Murphy watches over the destinies of nis chief from an opposite dwelling; that Borie, Richardson, Cornell, the coming candidate for Governor of New York, and other soldiers of the office-holding legion are in the immediate vicinity; that General Sher- man, the head o/ the army, is expected in a few ‘daysasa@ guest of Mark Antony, and that the mysterious Davenport may be seen at all hours of the day and night driving backwards and forwards amlong Ocean avenue in @ pony phaeton, appar- ently wrapped up in some secret mission, it can be ‘well understood why elderly patriots and anxious democrats gather in groups along the seashore and whisper into each other’s ears their views of the decline and fall of tne American Republic. Only afew dayssince areport found circulation thatex-Collector Murphy had been seem on the each, clad in tne flowing white robes of ® Roman Senator and practising obeisances 40 the rising sun; but it was subse- quently discovered that the modern Mark Antony had only been enjoying a dive in the sea wt an hour sufficiently early to allow him to dis- Pense with all superfluous clothing and to disport ‘himeelf in the sands clad ouly in a single article of male attire. A SUSPICIOUS GAME. Yesterday new cause for alarm was found in the sudden appearance upon the splendid lawn of the Oeean House of a singuiar and picturesque ar- rangement, the uee and meaning of which, although Qt first a mystery to the wondering guests, is evidently moparchical in its tendency. At one end of this miniature representation of the Field of the Clo:h of Gold i iver shield, bearing engraved upon it the word “sortie.” In a line with the shield, occupying a position corresponding with the first hoop in croquet, stands a sort of triumphal arch or gateway, about two feet high, tastefully a@esigned in silver-plating. In the centre, cor- reaponding with the double hoop and bell of cro- quet, stands an elaborate piece of mechanism in the shape of a throne, surmounted by a crown, and standing over five feet high. Next to this, ina line with the shiela, is another gaveway, and beyond, at the extreme end or top of the ground, 46a castle about five feet in height, known as “Castel Haut.” All the pieces are of the same ma- terial, finely polished silver-plating on steel and ‘of elaborate pattern and workmanship. To the right ana left of the field, on a line with the throne, are two castles, vorresponding with the one at the ‘top, called respectively ‘Castel Droit’ and “Castel Gauche.” These castles are surmounted by spears or battle axes, and display knightly banners, while in suggestive proximity appear two silver-barred ages, about three feet high, called ‘bastiles,”’ flying ominous black flags. People were at first {oars what to make out of this novel display, but its similarity in arrangement, at least, to a croquet round suggented to a mind more brilliant than ‘he rest that it must be some game of a like char- acter. On inquiry such proved to be the fact. The mew game bears the name of “chivairie,’’ and the pas are honored with the title of nights and muids of honor. It is played like croquet, witn mallets and _ baila, ‘vut is far more intricate. The “sortie” is made from the shield, the player driving his ball through the first gateway, and then uscending the throne by one of several passage-ways by which it is surrounded, each of which bears a different num- ber, the player scoring accordingly. From the throne, a visit is made to the castle on the right, the entrance to which adds a certain number to the player’s score, From the right castie, the player returns tothe throne, like other modern eccupanta making as much ont of it as he can while there. Then the other gate is passed through and the upper castle has to be reached. On the “home stretch” the same play is made on the left side of the ground as on the right, a similar round of visits being made between the leit castle and the throne, until the first gateway is again passed under on the return, when the player is “out,” taking with him as large a score ‘as he has been able to make. The object through- out the game is, of course, to get nto the entrances which count the highest, as the amount of the score determines the winner, and not the “ first out,’’ a8 in croquet. After making all the points out the passage oi the final gateway, the player be- comes a Knight errant or a wandering Maid of Honor, as the case may be, corresponding with the position of a “rover ’’ in croquet, and may do as much damage to opponents or add as largely to his or her own score as is possible before the last com- panion player goes out. During the game the player endeavors to drive his antagonist into one of the *bastiles,” and if he succeeds, the prisoner remains in confinement until be consents to pay a ransom of five points to his captor, or until bis own partner manages to drive his ball into the bastile and release nim. The Knight who gallantly ltbe- rates his imprisoned Maid of Honor, or the Maid of Honor who generously goes tothe rescue of her Knight, is rewarded by being allowed a second play. 18 IT A PLOT OF CESARISM? Now, regarded merely as an amusenient for the (diers at a watering place, new game is a harmless one and nottung can be said against it. it 18 interesting, elaborate and makes a very handsome lay, #8 the cost of the one set out on the Ocean House lawn, $1,500, will imply. But bow are we to account for the introduction of the game at this particular time and at this particular oo if it be not adark and diabolical conspiracy im the interests of Cxsarism? We are, unhappily, cues durther and further from the primitive ite and steady principles of the fathers of the Republic. Plain, iron-hooped croguet has been heretoiore considered a good enough game tor stmple republicans to play, and it i8 more than suspected that the White House Court, now traus- ferred to the Branch, is at the bottom of this attempt to gal that honest eld game aps imperialisuc arrangement in whicl knights, maids of honor, thrones, castles and Dastiles play a prominent part. It is clearly de- signed to familiarize the public mind with these appendages of ge so that the change may be Jess sudden and startling when the somewhat shabby beaver of the coming Osar shall be ex- changed for the imperial crown now currently ve- Neved to be in process of construction by Tiffany, ne when the fast trotters and neat wagon now so ous on Ocean avenue shall be supplanted by; the imperial chariot already ordered.

The ficet started this morning for Newport snortly after eight A. M. witha light breeze from the east-southeast, The Kate got away first, followed by the Mary, Qui Vive and Sadie, Tbe schooner Clio was the next to bid adieu to the hospitable town of Stoning- ton in company with the Maggie B., Un- dine, Commodore and Addie. All the yachts lett the harbor on the port tack, and, after making a short leg beyond the light- ship, stayed and made short stretches along shore, in order to keep im the eddy tide, The Fleur de Lis came out a short distance ahead of the Made- leine, which brought up the rear; the little Sophie, after leaving the harbor, turned her bow to the westward and started for home. The Qui Vive did some good sailing inshore and took the lead of the fleet, and the Commodore stood of to the southward alter the Addie, which had already adopted the same tactics, The Sadie also headed in that direction and when nearly y opposite Watch Hill the Clio made a stretch tow Block Island; the Qui Vive still Kept inshore aud ipa along at a lively gait, The Fleur de Lis and leleine had a pretty little race together, but aiter two or three tacks the lat- ter took the lead. The Kate, Undine and Kkmma T. algo stood off to the southward after the rest of the fleet. The Ulo, when about four or five miles off Watch Hill, stayed and went on the starvoard tack, heading up toward Polnt Judith, ‘The Addie and Commodore still held on the port tack, but the Undine stayed shortly after the Ulio and STOOD TOWARDS POINT JUDITH, The wind soon hauled a trifle more to the south- ward, and enabled the Qui Vive, Clio and Undine 10 lay their course, The ‘Commodore, Addie, Made- lene and Fleur de Lis also tacked; but tney nad made a little too much offing, and were conse- quently thrown a little astern of the leading achts, The Clio now set her balloon jib and bal- joon staysail, and did some remarkably good sail- ing.

There we bought a hum- ber of gloves, aboutfa hundred dozen, and agreed to come on to this city on a visit and to make money by the sale of the gloves, although I had invendea to visit Paris with my family. Well, we left Copenhagen and came on here, via Leith, in Scotiand, and crossed the Atlantic by an Anchor line steamer, We landed here on the 10th inst. When the customs officers came on board our steamer we showed the invoices of our goods, duly viséd by the American Consul, a Dane, at Copen- hagen. So we cannot be accused of concealment, HOW THE DUTY WAS PAID. We did not have enough money to pay the duty demanded by the customs oficers, so the gloves were sent to Castle Garden. We subsequently went there, and upon the payment of $60 we ob- tained our gloves, and they were sent to our hotel, in Greenwich street. kept by one Holman. We then sent out salesmen who could speak the Eng- lish language, as we were unable to ik a word of At, to sell the gloves, and we intended to return home forthwith with the proceeds. CAPTAIN FRRKIS’ RAID, On Wednesday, 16th instant, in the afternoon, a band of police officers entered our rooms, Whom at first we took lor a gang of thieves. We were ar- rested and taken to the Church street police sta- tion, Third precinct, where we were kept without 1ood till the foliowing day, about seventeen hours, Subsequently the Captain found the gloves were not stolen property and turned them over to the customs authorities—why, God knows, for we had already paid the duty once through tae medium of the Swedish interpreter at Castle Garden. .

The Public Awakening on the Question of the Day. Comments of Organs of Public Opinion in Important Centres. (From the Battleboro (N.C.) Advance, (democratic) July 18.) The proposition to elect General Grant a third term is not only discussed in the newspapers, but is advocated by many of bis adherents with a zeal worthy of a better cause. The tyranny which has been exercised with impunity over the Southern States, in the name of reconstruction, bas embold- ened the tyrant and familiarized the people with despotism. At frat the proposition to elect Gen- eral Grant fora third term was regarded as wild and chimerical, but the idea has assumed a serious aspect, and the Northern press, a short time ago so laudatory of Grant, are to-day alarmed at the tendency toward despotism and loud in their denunciations of Cesarism, whicn is a term used to aefine Grant's ambitious schemes to retain and perpetuate his power, That Grant 1s plotting for another term, and ready to use the immense patronage ofthe government to secure it, there seems to be no doubt, Nor is there any doubt about his receiving the nomination again from the radicals if he desires it. The only question with him is as to the result of such a nomination, The New YORK HERALD, one of his strong supporters at the last election, has cnanged his praise into abuse and continues day after day to sound the alarm of Cesarism. *** The licentious abuse of power, which the Northern people bave encouraged in their rulers, when applied to the Sonth, is now coming home to them. Those who have sown the wind let them reap the whirlwind. [From the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer (democratic), July 17.) ‘There is much speculation throughout the coun- try as to the next Presidential campaign, and bets are being made and prophecies uttered that Gen- eral Grant will run for a third term. General Grant has had his share of abuse. Yet but few men have had the boldness to accuse him of a lack of common sense, and bis per- mitting hie namwe to come again before the country for the Presidency would show a want of jadgment and an ignorance of the feelings of the people. Whatever is being done to agitate this question now emanates from some of the office- holders of the administration and from the ene- mies of the partyin power. We speak with some knowledge of the people of the North, and we think we state the truth in saying that not one half the republican party would support General Grant if he should be inducea to run again, and this opposi- tion would not be founded on a dislike of the President or a change of parties, but be the result of that desire for change which is, and will con- tinue to be, a peculiarity of our people, [From the Clarmont (N. H.) Eagle (administration), July 19.) The American people have been differently edn- cated and differently instructed as to their rights than ancient Rome or modern France, and what ‘was possible in those countries would be utterly impossible in the United States. The little army of ofMice holders would find themselves buried be- neath the justifiable rage of the pcople, which, as compared with the dead beats of the country, are as a thousand to one. It was this same spirit which animated the Northern heart in 1861, and roused hundreds of thousands to rush to the field of battle and maintain that Union, General Grant and his friends do not seek a third term of office, and, if they did, would not receive it. The Ameri- can people held the successful soldier in high es- teem and gave him the Presidency. His adminis- tration was satisfactory, his services to the coun- try not forgotten, and the people, as they did when Washington lived, gave him asecond term. This will complete his career. The vage fears, certainly unfounded, of the journals referred to will vanish in smoke. This government was not created to be the creature of any one man or of 1,000 men, but is @ government of the people and for the people. U. 8. Grant recognizes this fact. [From the Washington Republican (administration organ), July 19.) A few weeks ago a New York paper started a discussion upon the third term question, which has been generally taken up by the liberal republi- can and democratic organs, who make it the basis of a sresh series of assaults upon the President, So far as the President is concerned, it can be said with entire truth that no one has ever heard from his lips the slightest whisper on the subject, and we do not believe that a single one of his friends, advisers or supporters ever bestowed a thought upon the matter until it became a subject of speculation and comment in the journals referred to. While the administration occupies this attitude of entire indifference on the subject, it cannot be denied that the present slanderous war- fare that is being waged upon the President has created a strong feeling in tavor of his renomina- tion among @ large Lody of his supporters—a feel- ing that is as likely to sweep the country as not, and give him a third term in the Executive Man- sion by @ majority more overwhelming than he received in ’68 or in ’72, {From the Salt Lake Tribune (Mormon), July 17.) Again the NEw YoRK HERALD is out in one of those colossal editorials of promptings to the ad- ministration and suggestions to the country, which it publishes periodically asa budget of national policy. It aims to instruct the country how to counteract the spirit of Cesarism “which 1s fast possessing the republican party,” at the same time that it points out to Grant how he can immortalize himself in the history of our Republic, by the opportunities now be- fore him, and escape the damnation of athird term rule, It will be said that the way to defeat General Grant and the spirit of Cesarism which is now incarnated in his administration is to consolidate the democratic party, and under its lead overthrow the administration. In other words, under new and broader issues will be united what Mr. Greeley and his followers strived todo. But this course, the HERALD thinks, would be mischiev- ous in the solution of our national affairs which be- came knotted by our sectional strife and were not straightened out by the Cincinnati Convention. The way to elect Grant a third time is to repeat that comedy. {From the Trupelo (Miss.) Journal (democratic), daly 19.) An excellent article from the New York HERALD on “Casarism” appears on our first page. We are glad tosee the North becoming alarmed at the strides our government under republican rule is making toward a centralized despotism. Happily the people are beginuing to see the great danger ofa fatal error to our republican form of govern- ment creeping in at that wanting place in our con- stitution, which should be so amended as to declare that no President shall be eligible to hold the office a second term.

Democrat (democrat), July 19.) “THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE—IS IT CONSISTENT WITH TRUE REPUBLICANISM !—THE DANGER OF CABSARISM.” We give our readers to-day a genuine leader, under the above caption, from the New York HERALD. It is by all odds the best editorial we have read for many days. It is evidently the coin of thinking brain. There is not a mark of muling or puling about it, butit is a manly and exceedingly able politico-historical essay on the dangers of the one-man power, the facility with which nations fal! into it and the folly of elevating a man above a nation of millions of men. Read and ponder it, Americans, * * * [From the Baltimore sun (independent), July 19.) What has been said of a third term in connection with General Grant does not seem to have been suggested by any expressed wish of the President. It is denied by some of those who claim to be his friends that he has any such aspirations, The declaration of Colonel Mosby and others in his favor fora third term is not regarded as being prompted by aught but their own wishes. His ap- pointments are not of such a character as to war- rant the idea of any such design, nor does he in- terfere with the work of his own Cabinet to an apprectable degree. In addition to the obstacles Presented to a third term by the unwritten custom of the country is the ambition of those republican aspirants, a8 well aa those of other parties, who expect to enter the Presidential Trace of 1876, It is quite possible that General Grant might be willing to accept a third term if Offered him, as the cares of state do not sit as heavily upon him as upon his predecessors, and he would not experience the same sensation of re- Hef upon retiring from oMce as those whose labors and responsibilities have left them no time for so- clal enjoyment or for attention to their private a!- fairs. Where an incumbent can “take it easy” there would seem to be no limit to Ifis capacity of enduring Presidential honors. We hope and be- Meve, however, that General Grant, even though not wearied witn official burdens, will have re- spect enough for precedent and public opinion not to attempt a third term. ANOTHER JERSEY HORROR. Terrible Fate of a Young Woman at the Hands of Negroes. A Sunday Night Sail on the Hudson—Awful Re- sults of Liquor and Lust—A Girl Abused, Murdered and Thrown Overboard—How the Crime Was Discovered—A Hasty Inquest —The Body Disin- terred—Arrest of Some of the Accused Parties, A diabolical outrage on the person of a young white woman bya party of negroes, who supple- mented the crime by murdering their victim, under circumstances of a most revolting nature, came to light yesterday, on the New Jersey shore of the Hudson River, immediately opposite Yonkers, Westchester county, Delia Corcoran, the deceased, whose life was 80 rathlessly sacrificed to lustful brutality, is described as a buxom Irish girl of about twenty- five years of age, and had been employed as a waitress at a picnic resort, known as Excelsior Grove, situated in Harrington township, Bergen county, and located directly on the margin of the river underneath the Palisades. Bernard 8. Davis, proprietor of the grove mentioned, stated to @ HERALD representative yesterday that Delia was an industrious, good servant, her chief fault being a partiality for strong drink, which would occasionally manifest itself despite her efforts to conceal it. Last Sunday afternoon the deceased, having completed the fulfilment of her domestic duties, sauntered downa pathway leading from the house of her employer, without any head cov- ering, remarking that she was going to call on A COLORED WOMAN, who lives afew hundred yards further down the river. The young woman never returned. Nor does it appear that her employer exerted himself in the least to ascertain the cause of her absence. On Monday morning a man named Westervelt, living at Lower Closter, a distance of perhaps a quarter of a mile down the river from Excelstor Grove, found his boat not far from the shore with- out oars and partially flied with water. On bail- ing out tue boat several hairpins and other TRIFLES OF FEMININE HEAD GEAR were found in the bottom of the craft, but even these ordinary suggestive matters for inquiry did not apparently strike the imaginations of the drowsy Jerseyites in that section, Next day a woman’s ‘‘wateriall” was observed foating near the shore and not far from where the boat had been recovered on the previous day. All this time it does not appear that the employer of the missing girl, or in tact any of her acquaintances on the Jer- sey side 0! the Hudson, took the slightest interest in ascertaining the cause oi her sudden disappear- ance. During the forenoon of Wednesday two colored women observed THE CORPSE OF A FEMALE floating near the shore at a place called Hyler’s Landing, about two miles soar of Excelsior Grove, The assistance of some men having been obtained the body was secured and Coroner Westervelt, of Cresskill, notified. No marks ofviolence were visi- ble to the jury on the corpse, although it was noticed that the clothing was considerabl: torn and disarranged. A formal inquest was held, which resulted in a verdict of ‘sound drowned” being rendered, aiter which the “unknown” corpse was placed in an ordinary box and buried on the bank of the river. The shocking manner in which the unfortunate deceased came to her death would probably never have been known but for one 1 those FORTUITOUS CIRCUMSTANCES fos which great crimes have often been dis- covered, A yore rman named Patrick Carlen, working at Yonkers, ME em nad been in the habit of visiting Delia Corcoran, and had an engagement to meet her on Tuesday evening at the place where she Was em- ployed. On arriving there he heard of her mys- terlous disappearance, and forthwith set out to scour the entire neighborhood in the hope of learn- ing something of her whereabouts. Hearing that the body of an unknown women had been found in the river and rudely interred he obtained per- mission from the Coroner and dug be’ the box, which had been de only a few inches beneath the surface. On taking off the lid Carien was shocked to find that the remains were those of his sweetheart, whom he immediately identified by the dress and gaiters. Althougn the features were swollen and partially decomposed, @ closer exam- ination showed that THE TONGUE AND EYES PROTRUDED, inaving little room to doubt that peas had been strangled to death. Other indications went to prove conclusively that she had been out These facis coming to the ears of the au- thorities, it was decided to hold another quest, she first being regarded as little better than a farce. Inquiries werethen set on foot, when it was ascertained that deceased had gone out in @ boat on Sunday night with three or FOUR COLORED MEN living in the vicinity, one of whom, named George Byas, was arrested on @ warrant yesterday an officer connected with the Englewood police. The wife of Byas was also arrested at the same time, she, ag is alleged, having been in the boat with deceased and the negro men during @ portion of the evening. The officer who made the arrests while the writer waa at Excelsior Grove stated that he was in hopes of securing the remainder of the party before ng. It was ascertained at Yonke! \t three negroes, @ white man and the wile of Byas came across to that city im @ boat about seven o'clock on Sunday evening, and alter purchasing some whiskey avd ale get out to return across the river, Iv 18 understood that Byas says he and his wife LEFT THR BOAT and went to their house, not betore, however, he had requested Delia to go home. This, it should be stated, is only one of the many rumors afloat re- garding the tragic affair. Sergeant Austin, of the Yonkers Police, states that information reached that station, to the effect that a negro employed at Excelsior Grove took deceased out for @ satl on the river after twelve o’clock, and that having outraged her per- m4 an Strangled her and threw the body over- ard, It 18 probable, however, that the double crime ‘was perpetrated ou shore, and the body afterwards conveyed out into the river, where it was thrown Overboard in the hope that the current would carry it away.

Charles A, Russell Hung for the Murder of James Crotty. THE SAND CLUB. Application for Clemency from the Eastern States. THE JURY PETITION IN VAIN. Privacy in Carrying Out the Dread Sene tence of the Law. San FRancisco, July 25, 1873, Charles A. Russeil, jor the murder of James. Crotty, was executed at half-past two this after- noon. The time set by tie Sheriff was one o'clock, but the execution was postponed, hoping to hear from Governor Booth, who is at Donner Lake, but he could not be reached, Russell made no state- Ment, was self-possessed, and diet without violent struggle, The crime for which Russell suffered the last penalty of the law was perpetrated in San. Francisco on the 2d of August, 1872, The antecedents of the condemned man _ were bad and his associations of the worst descrip- tion, On the evening of the day in question he visited the liquor saloon of William J, Cady, where Crovty, known as “Short-haired Jimmy,” was at the time drinking. The latter was engaged, in @ distarbance, and harsh words passed between. the two, who were well acquainted with each other. Crotty drew a pistol, which was taken away from him by Cady, who drove him out of the house. Russell, who was requested to go away, remained ; but, after the lapse of a few minutes, he took his. departure, He was then unarmed. About an hour, aferwards OROTTY RETURNED 10 THE SALOON, and was talking with a man named Fickler, when Russell, at mine o’clock, came in and caught him by the left arm, and, as Crotty turned his head,. instantly shot him in tue face witha Colt’s revolver, which he procured during his absence. Crotty fell, mortally wounded. Russell stepped back a ew paces, then turned and walked out. NOT A SYLLABLE WAS UTTERED by either party beiore or after the bloody work was done. Crotty soon after expired, aud Russell was lodged in jail, An indictment for murder in the first cevree was found against him, and, after many postponements, the trial com- menced in the Fifteenth District Court, san Fran- cisco, on the 9th o January last. The prosecution insisted it was a cvold-viooded, cowardly and cruel assaasination., Russel testified tn his own behalf, and ciaimed he acted in seli-defence. On his ex- amination in chic, he stated that he left the sa- loon where the ho: de pubananen ity took; place about six in the eveuing, aud returned three hours later. He also detiiled wuat he did and how he was occapied duriug the interval between the time that he leit asa when he returned, but no ref- erence was made vo the time or MANNER OF "ROCURING THE PISTOL with which Crotty was deprived of life. He was asked where he got the pistol, and the answer was objected to as not pertinent to anything brought out,on the examination in chief.

New York, Brookiyn and other parts of the United States, imploring a mitigation of the gnalty 5 but Governor Booth would not yield. ie antece- cents of Russell, as stated, were bad. He was. tried for burgiary in 1806 and a memento of his. crime remained in the hands of the police of San Francisco. A sand club, a diabolical instrument, Was discovered hanging up in the office of the Chief, with a tag attached, bearing an inscription. vo the effect that THE MURDEROUS WEAPON was taken from Charles A. Russell. While the efforts were in progress to effect a commatation of his sentence tt was removed and put out of sight jor the objection had bzen constantly offered that the possession of a sand club stamped him as a de- raved malefactor, well deserving to suffer death y the halter. Russeil stated that the first knowl- edge he ever had of the instrument was when it was produced ayainst him in Court seven years ago. It appeared that the club was found in a boat belonging to some of bis companions in crime. Russell solemniy protested that ne never had the club and never saw it until it was exhibited at his trial for burglary, but the police were convinced to. the contrary. THB SAND CLUB 7 was originally made by filling an eelskin with fine sand. Tnis formed a very pliable and deadly weapon. A blow could be struck with it which would easi! break @ bone without leaving the slightest mar! on the skin. It is only witnin a few years that the sand club has been in use or at least known to the police authorities in the United States. Attention was first called to the curious weapon in New York. SEVERAL BODIES OF MURDERED MEN were found at different times, the post-mortem examinations of which showed deaths by external viovence, but no marks could be found on the out- side of the body. A burgiar was finally captured With @ sand club in his possession made out of in eeiskin stuffed with sand. Being closely questione he explained its use. When the victim 18 struck, for instance, on the head, HE DROPS INSENSIBLE and soon dies from congestion of the brain. Often- times the skull suffers no injury from the stroke, and ff the peraon struck recovers a state of sensi- buity he Used reiapses into a condition of maudlin idiocy. Sometiines a man struck in the body will be knocked down by the peculiar force of the blow and feel no immediate results from it. In @ lew weeks, however, the flesh will begin to mor- tify under the line of the blow and rot down to the bone.

Differing from aimost every other city in the United States, the execution of criminals in San Francisco takes place within the wails of the County Jail. This building is iocated on Broadway Street, in the centre of the Chinese quarter. It is gioomy in appearance and of contracted dimen- sions. It is not well capable of defence, for it sur- rendered promptly to the Vigilance Committee forces in 1866. ‘Ihe scaffold on which Russell ex- Sie his offence was used on the 14th of May, 878, When John Devine, “The Chicken,” sutfere death for the murder of August Kamp: The last occasion previous that it was brouglit into requi- sition was to hang Chung Wong, a Chinaman. ‘The Scaffold was laid across the railings of the upper corridor, at the north end, the trap in the middie permitting the body to drop to the lower corridor, within about three feet of the floor.
