Gaiteau on the Gallows. WAsHINGToV, June 30.-Guiteau was very restless -during most of the latter part of the night, not sleeping ina thai twenty minutes at a time. Towards morning he fell into a wood er sleep from sheer exhaustion. He rose a few minutes after five and breakfasted heartily. At 6.30, when the cook took his breakfast into the cell, Guiteau told him to bring his dinner in at 11 o'clock promptly. Rev. Dr. Hicks, who remained at the jail all night, was called into the prisoner's cell soon after he rose and hold a conversation on religious sub jects with him. ~ * $ * * . While Dr. ic was i the cell at 11 o'clock Guiteau made some requests as to the execution, and, having made copies of his "last prayer," poem and other writings, tore up the originats. He had his boots blacked, and as the doctor was leaving the cell his dinner was brought in. Guiteau ate it with much relish. When Dr. Hicks came out of the cell he said the prisoner had not the slightest fear. "We have had a pleasant religious talk. He feele now that his preparation is finished and that he is ready for the last for mality. He commits himself to God with the utmost confidence. I think he will shcw some emotion because the nervous strain is so great." Shortly before 12 o'clock Guitean seemed to break down completely and burst into tears and sobbed hysterically. After the death warrant was read to the prisoner by the Warden he be came much more composed, and, tarn ing away, begun to brush his hair. with his old appearance of swaggering sang froid. ** * * Two minutes later the iron gates at the end of the corridor clicked. Then Warden Crocker made his appearance, and a moment later the familiar figure of Guiteau was seen. His face was pallid and the tnusclesabout his mouth moved nervously. Other than this, there were no signs of faltering. The procession moved quickly to the scaffold and Guiteau ascended the twelve somewhat steep steps with as much steadiness as could be expected from a man whose arms were tightly pinioned behind him. At the last step he faltered for a moment but was as sisted by the two officers, who walked one upon either side. Upon reaching the platform Guitean was placed im mediately behind the drop, facing to the front of the scaffold. * * * * * There was a slight delay, while the crowd of two hundred and fifty or more spectators were pushing and jostling through the door leading from the ro tanda to the corridor, at the lower end of which the gallows was placed. Guitean meanwhile gazed upon the crowd, looked up at the beam over his head, and quickly made a survey of all the dread paraphernalia. As soon as the crowd had gained access, General Crocker waved to them to uncover and all heads were bared. Dr. Hicks made an invocation in these words : * * * * * During the prayer Guitean stood with bowed head. At its conclusion, Dr. Hicks opened the Bible and Gui teau in firm tones said: "I will read a selection from the tenth chapter of Mathew fiom the 28th to the 41st verse inclusive." He then read in a clear strong voice and with good in tonation, showing little if any nervous nes. Dr. Hicks produced the manu script which was prepared by the pris oner this morning and held it before him while Guitean read. While Dr. Hicks was arranging the manuscript Gintean exhibited a slight nervousness and moved several times from one foot to the other He soon recovered his composure, looked over the sea of up turned faces and said: "I am now go ing to read to you my last dying pray He then read in a loud tone and with a distinct and deliberate emphasis the following: "Father, now I go to Thee and the Savior. I have finished that work Thou gayest me to do and I am only too happy to go to Thee. The world does not yet appreciate my mission, but Thou knowest it. Thou knowest Thou didst inspire Garfield's removal and only good has come from it. This is the best evidence that the inspiration came from Thee, and I have set it forth in wy book that all men may read and know that Thou, Father, didst inspire the ac'. for which I am now murdered. This govern mient and nation by this act, I know, will incur Thi eternal enmity, as did the Jews in killing Thy man, my Sa vior. The retribution in that case came quick and sharp, and I know Thy -Divine law of retribution will strike this nation and my murderers in the same way. The diabolical spirit of this nation, its governwent and its newspapers toward me willijus tify Thee in cursing them; and I know that Thy law of retribution is inexorable I therefore predict that this nation will go down in blood, and that my murderers, from the Execu tive to the hangman, will go to hell. Thy laws are inexorable, Oh, Thou Supreme Judge. Woe unto the men that violate Thy laws; only weeping and.gnashing of teeth awaits them. The American press has a large bill to settle with the righteous Father for their vindictiveness. Not.hing but my blood will satisfy them, and now my blood beoon them and this nation and its officials. Arthur, the Presi dent, is a coward and an ingrate. His ingratitude to the man that made him and saved his party and the land from overthrow has no paralled in his. tory; but Thou, righteous Father, will judge him. Father, thou know est me, but the world has not known me. And now I go to Thee and the Savior without the slightest ill will toward a human being. Farewell, ye men of faith." * * * * * When he had finished reading the prayer he again surveyed the crowd .ad said, ptill with a firm voice: "I am now going to read verses which are intended to indicate my feelings at the moment of leaving this world. (The following lines are a specimen.) "I am going to the Lordy, I am so glad. I am going to the Lordy, I aus so glad. I am going to the Lordy, Glory, hallelujah ! Glory, hallelujah ! * * * * * This closed the chant and then Rev. Mr. Hicks gave to Guitean his final benediction and farewell, saying: "God the Father go with thee and give thee peace forevermore." The attendants then pinioned his legs, placed the noose over his head and carefully adjusted it about the neck Mr. Stror.g placed the black cap over his head, and as he did so Gui tean called out in aloud tone : "Glory Glory ! Glory !" Instantly the spring was touched, the drop fell at 12.40 P. M., and Guiteau swung in the air. The body turned partly around and t there was not the slightest perceptible f motion of the limbs or any evidence of conscious effort to move them. When the drop fell a yell was sent up by some persons inside the jail. This was repeated outside by over a thousand people, who hurrahed lusti ly. There was a general onslaught by the populace upon the door, which was so powerful that the officers were unable to withstand it. Hundreds of people crowded into the office and there was a terrible crush at the door. For at least forty seconds after the drop fell the body hung motionless. Then there was a slight motion of the shoulders and legs, due to muscular contraction. Three minutes after the drop fell the body was lowered to be examined by the physicians. There was decided action of the heart for fully fourteen minutes and the pulse fluttered two minutes longer. When the body had hung with the feet just touching the floor for over half an hour it was lowered into the coffin which was waiting for it under the scaffold. The Governor's 3ieesage. STATE OF SOUrH CAEOINA, ExvTrva CaAMasa, - COLUMBIA, June 27, 1882. Senators and Represenatives: In the Proclamation convening the General Assembly in Extra Session, and issued in the exercise of the discretion vested by the Constitution in the Exe cutive, I have stated the fact which con stituted in my judgment, the "extraor dinary occasion" requiring your pre sence here at this time. Recent legis lation of the Federal Congress, based upon the relative advance of the seve ral States in population, has entitled South Carolina to two additional mem bers of the House of Representatives of the United States, to be elected before the next regular session of the General Assmblhy of this State; and it is incum bent upon you, by z'uch legislation as your wisdom may suggest, to give effect to this increased representation in the councils of the General Govern ment. In discharge of the further tiuty im posed upon me by the Constitution of recommending to your consideration such measures as I shall judge neces sary or expedient, you will permit me to refer to one other and kindred mat ter. The increase in population and rapid development of material resour ces in alsections of the State make a readjustment, to a limited extent at. least, of tbe Counties desirable in the near future. The Constitution of 1868 authorizes the formation of new Coun ties from time to time, but provides that after the date of that instrument no new Counties shall be formed with a less area than six hundred and twen ty-five square miles, and that each County shall form one Election District. Both of these provisions were innova tions upon the policy which had so long prevailed, and both seem to me injudi cious. Several of the old Counties, and same of the most thriving and well managed, contain less than this territo rial limit.. Besides, area is not the true criterion in this matter. Where there is the necessary population and proper ty to meet the expense of the new or ganization, the convenience of the peo ple is the true test in the formation of "these subdivisions of the State. Ncr is there any necessary connection between the Judicial and the Election District. It may be preferable to retain the same divisions for each, or it may he prefer able as formerly, to have them in some instances different. Certainly, provis ions on these subjects find their proper place in the Statutes, where they can with more facility be modified or chan ged. They should not be incorporated as Procrustean rules in the fundamen tal law. I therefore recommend that at this session the necssry legislation be had to submit to the qualified voters of the State, at the coming election, the question of a repeal of the provision referred to in Section 3, Article UI., of the Constitution. These restrictions be ing removed, whenever .applications are hereafter made from localities inter ested in the formation of new Counties, or in the etablishment of new Election Districts, they may be considered by future Legislatures upon their merits, and disembarrassed of limitations with out foundation in reason. Called together upon the occasion of a particular emergency, and at a time so near the period when through the ballot box the popular wishes will be decisively made known upon questions now occupying the public mind, no other measures occur to me as necessary or expedient to recommend to your consideration. JOHNSON HAGOOD, Governor. The total voting population of South Carolina, according to the United< States census, is 205,789. The nuum. ber of native white voters is 82,910, and of foreign-born voters is 3,990, 1 and the number of colored voters is 118,889. We did not think that the number of colored voters was so large, but probably, in many cases, aspiring colored youths advance their age a few years.-News and Counier. A Valuable Addition.

The Newberry HnEDA. favors Bampton for Governor, but does not think Tillman equal to the em argency.- Georgetown E'nquirer. The HERAD did favor Senator Rampton for Governor as long as there was any hope of his being in inced to accept a nomination ; but it has never expressed an opinion, one way or another, as to Mr. Till nan's fitness. The HRAD does not know much about Mr. Tillman. I'hose who know him well say he is a fit man, and we take their word ror it. The State Executive Co'mmittee des determined to double the repre ientation heretofore had in the State Convention. The number of ielegates will be three hundred and sixteen, doubb~ the number of mnem aers in both branches of the Gen aral Assembly. Newberry County will, therefore, be entitled to eight lelegates.

An Interesting Letter from the City or Brotherly Love. PHILADELPHEA. PA., June 22, 1882. MElsas. EDIToR : If you have space in your valuable paper I will gi-; your readers a few dots. For the past month the weather has been very warm. It has put me in the notion to plant King Cotton in the Quaker City. I have it at present growing nicely. 1 want to see if I can make it a profitable business in the North ern States. Since my arrival in the City I have visited the largest Cotton Mills. The buildings are elegantly constructed. Business is carried on like clock-work. The Mills are paying the stockholders from 20 to 30 per cent. on their invest went. It is largely accounted for why there is so iuucii wealth North. They understand business and it is carried out to the letter. If the South will change her mode of business she can make the same profit, or more. We have the advantage of cheap labor, timber,- &c. If we will make this change we will have a few millionaires scattered around in the aittle Palmetto State. By the way, I had an invitation to the College Commencement nt the Princeton University in New Jersey. I accepted the invitation. On my arrival I found it a very desirable little tawn of three thousand inhabitants. The College Buildings are located on a rise, built of fine granite, very large in size. The College has 400 acres of grouud belonging to it, well shaded with trees and cuvered with grass, &c. All of this combined makes it a very beautiful place. I don't think it can be surpassed in America. The at tendance was very large. It has 500 students. There were a great many visitors. The fair sex were numerous and were elegantly dressed. All of this made the attraciion very great. I found the people very kind to visit ors. The State election comes off in Pennsylvania this Fall. Polities is very quiet here ; I seldom hear it mentioned. The candidates are not so natuerous here yet. The citizens are not bothered so much with candi. dates for office as Edgefield Co., S. C. The city is now looking grand. The scenery in the Park is wonderful tc look at. I have visited the University of Pennsylvania, which was established in 1757--one of the largest College: in the State. Is situated about ten min utes' walk from my residence. It ii a fine old institution, embracing seve ral departments, viz: Arts, Law, Medicine, Science, Music, Dentis try, and Finance and Economy, to together with special course on almost any subject. The Board of Trustees with Governor of the State Presidenl ex officio, are from the oldest anc wealthiest families. The Board oi Instructors are ninety-four in number and are the most competent that oaz be secured, and are all men distin guished for their ability. The studenti number about one thousand ; Medi. eine and Dentistry claim about hal: of that number. The remiainder are distributed among the other four de, partments. The grounds, located oc the western bank of the Schuylkill, oc the summit of a hill, are large and commodious. The buildings, four it number, are beautiful structures, buili of green granite in the most artistic style. The University has two Cow mencements each year, one for the Department of Medicine and Dentis. try, the second for the other Depart. mnents. The Commencements are held in the Academy of Music, the largesi stage in the world. Tbis building on such occasions is overcrowded. Non< are admitted without complimentary tickets obtained only from the Gradu aring Classes. I have visited all the departaaents, and find them very wel conducted; in fact, I have some ides of trying some of the departments ai a student when I shall have finished at Business College. In examinina rhe Catalogue of the University I no tiee with regret that not a single stu dent is from South Carolina. I find one from Georgia in the Medical De. partmient, with whom I am acquainted He is said to be one of the brightesi of his class. Belonging to the Uni. versity is one of the best H6spitals it the city. I have visited the Pennsylvania R R. Depot. It is said to be the grand. est structure -tbat can he found it America in the way of a Depot. Tw< hundred and twenty-six trains pass in a'td out of it daily. If we Southern era will go to work and build more rail roads and factories we can carry on -the same kind of business. We have an abundance of cheap labor. timber, water-power, &c., and one of the finest countries the sun ever shone upon. Now, let us go to work and plant one-half the cotton we nou plant. We will be an independent people. Thermometer standing at 90. Sev eral deaths from sunstroke yesterday. Yours, &c., J. J. L. Fox THE RALD. I Wonder. I wonder if the offices and bonds of the officers of Newberry County dose not concern every taxpayer in New berry County, even Hard Tack, whom does it concern ? We think it con cerns every man, woman and child in the County. We may, and perhaps do, know very little about how such things are managed, but it certainly is our privilege and right to know all about the actions of County officers as County officers, and in reply to one Ajax, Jr., will say, I wonder if the man that justified in $6,000 and owns $1,600 worth of land in Orangeburg, pays more taxes on the $1,600 worth in Orangeburg than on the $3,400 in Newberry. We are informed by a neighbor of his that he owns no other property outside of Newberry County than a $1,600 tract of land in Orange burg I wonder why the man that juai fied in 84.000. and pays taxes on only $2,650. and had money on hand to buy a $2.100 tract of laud ani make sp other valuable investmet'ts, did not pay taxes on that money. for the law i; requires taxes to be paid on all moneys or on hand ; but if that land was bought Ga on credit the value of his property l over and above his homestead and a' liabilities has not been increased. I wonder why the man that justified ye in 812.000 and owrs, as Ajax, Jr., A says, that amount outside of the part- w nership firm, does mot pay taxes out- ha side the firm on one-tenth (1.10) of e that amount. We may be groping in IB utter darkness and unmindful of the age in which we live, but with the 8 records in the Clerk's office and the e Auditor's books before us we could en not with any common sense reasoning * arrive at other than our implied con- ,i clusions. Hard Tack does not want au to be nomuinated. Does not feel qual- wn ified to fill any office in the County, ? not even Clerk of the Board of Coun ty Commissioners, and will become t quiet when he sees some reasonable eff hope of the Democratic party of New- he berry County, becoming united upon e principles of justice and fairness to all a classes, and no disposition to keep the SL doings of officers from being publicly A known. frc I wonder if Ajax. Jr., thinks that be we country folks are entitled to no Dc accommodatiois when we come to en town. We hate never known a town or village that did not provide some hitching places for common use, and ni would may that mince our suggestions ,n on the subject a goodly nuaber of lla horseracks havo been erected and we received in person. even since the ap pearance of Ajax. Jr.'s article, the. , thanks of one of the Wardens of the ne town of Newberry for our suggestinns. tic I wonder if whea the Legislature h creates an office and appoints an officer , (a tuan too that the people wouid not o elect) at a salary far above what se other County oficere receive f;.r a like or amount of work, (being about two , months' work), and as much as ti,e fo man who drives the plow can earn tn fr five years, any citizen. even Hard il Tack, has not a right to censure their cic actions. We think that act and the ,e two appropriating $27,500 of the as people's woney for education in Char- tu1 lestou sod Columbia i:, an outrage 'n upon the people, and ten years ago e would have been styled robbery. sie I wonder if it is not the privilege, B yea the duty, of every citizen. even Hard Tack, to see who an officer's bondsmen are and know their stand- w ing, and know all about public affairs; ? and if it would not have been better S had the p..ple known all about the es County Treasurer's bank account a f Treasurer, say once a month or at m least once in three months. If such w had been the ease I dare say U. B. 1i Whites would now be performing the se duties of Treasurer with credit to b himself and satisfaction to the people. * I wonder who Ajar, Jr , is. and where he came from. Ancient histo ry tells of one Ajax (who figures in the Trojan war), a man noted for heroic courage, and who killed a heap tJ of sheep,,but he was drowned, and his son bore another name, so this could not be be either. Some *of out c Ifriends suggest that the name has been misspelled (perhaps a typograph-- fi ical error) and should have been "a Jack" irastead of "Ajax"-that he came from Tennessee. has lived some- s1 time about Pomaria, and is now stop ping at Smith & Christian's, and his g, pedigree can be traced to the days of Davy Crockett. We do not vouoh for S this, but interested parties can find out from Mr. Knighton. as HARD TACK. FoR TEE HaALD. - Workingnien's Club.

One - body of our population must not be forced to contribute to the luxury and conmfort or the enterprise of another. J. Equal burdens should be imposed SN upon all.
