WASHINGTON, April 12.-Some misapprehen? sion exists regarding Banks' Cuban resolution. It is merely a resolution of tho House, not re? quiring tho concurrence of the Senate or the signature of thc President, and has no lierai force. Tho act in itself, however, is complete, and was intended to support Gran! in Cuban affairs during tho vacation by a?iuring him of a subsequent support in tho House. Tho Senate met and after appointing a com? mittee to inform tho President of thc act con? tinuing the committees of the last session, and resolving to meet daily at noon, went into executive session. The following nominations w&re made to? day: Foreign Ministers-England, Mr. Mot? ley; Bolivia, Mark8oit, of Ohio; Nicaragua, Part? ridge, of Maryland; Venezuela, Pile, of Mis? souri; Belgium, Jos. R. Jo..es, of Ulincis; Bel? gium, J. J. Carlisle, of West Virginia; Stock? holm, J. R. Clay (colored),: Argentine Repub? lic, ?nrlbert, of Illinois; Bogota, Hudson, of Iowa; Guatemala, E. D. Bassett (colored); Hayti. Curtin, of Pennsylvania; Russia, Jay, of Ne^v York; Austria, Evans. Consul-General for Liberia, Kirk, of Ohio. Attorney for South Mississippi, Whipple.. Assessors-Whitehead, 2d Georgia District; Sparlins, 5th Tennessee; Collectors-Morrillo, 2d Georgia; Peabody, 5th Tennessee. Postmasters-lira. Livingstone, Greenville, Ala.; Wheeler, Eufaula, Ala., and Humphreys, Pensacola. Tho workingmen of this district serenaded Senator Sprajrue to-night as a manifestation ot their approval of his course. Tho Indian Appropriation bill provides that none of the treaties negotiated since Juno, 18G7, ?ball be ratified, and that $2,000,000 shall be placed in the bands of the President to be used in eettling the difficulties between the govern? ment and the savages. Ten treaties of varions kinds, including the the Alabama Treaty, are before the Senate. The Atlanta delegation leave for home to? night. The Augusta delegation left yesterday. These delegations, with other conservative Georgians present, have the credit here of de? feating Butler's Georgia bill. UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. WASHINGTON, April 12.-In the Supremo Court to-day Chief Justice Chase dismissed the McArdle case for want of jurisdiction. In the case of the steamboat Belfast vs. Boone, from the Supreme Court of Alabama, the^deoision was reversed, with costs, and with directions to dismiss tho libel. The court ia this case claims federal jur sdtction in manne and admiralty cases from the eea to the head of navigation in rivers. In the case of B. F. Hall vs. Geo. Coppell, of Iowa, the judgment of the Louisiana court was reversed with casts. Tho court decided that a foreign consul engaged iu trade during the war, has nc more rights in business than a oitizen of the TJnitocl States. Justice Chose delivered the opinion of the court in thc Texas bond case, holding that the annexation of Texas made it a State of tbe Union, and that no act of tho citizens and gov? ernment alone has or could dissolve that relation. Ho deciled that tbe ordinance of secession and all legislative acts in aid of the rebellion were void; that the Legislature was an illogal body; that the United States bonds in question were the pro? perty of TexaB at the time of secespion, and that the law of Texas which required their transfer was illegal. Therefore, tho State of Texas bas the right to recover the bonds and perpetuate the injunction, and it is decreed accordingly. The court holds tbat Congress had no right to adopt measures of reconstruc? tion. Justice Grier dissented as to the mer!'s and jurisdiction of the case, holding tba; Texas was not, in fact, a State in the Union. Justices Sway ne and Miller dissented as to the Jurisdiction only. TWB FIFTEENTH: AMENDMENT AGAIN ZOST IN INDIANA. INDIANAPOLIS, April 12.-There was no quo? rum of tho Legislature j 3a torda y. The newly elected Democratic members have resolved to stay away, thus again defeating the Fifteenth amendment. _ SPARKS FROM THE WIRES. Tbe missing peoplo from the steamer Thames, burned efl Hatteras, arc safe. Dispatches from all parts of the world report a splendid celebration of thc Pope's Jubilee. The steamer G. A. Thompson, from Cincin? nati to Little Rock, was sunk in seventeen feet of water and lost. Genera] Stoneman, with the 25th United States Infantry, left Richmond yesterday, en route for California. The United States steamer Gettysburg, has beeu ordered to take line soundings on the coast of Cuba an 1 t ho neighboring islands. Govornor Wells addressed a large Republican meeting in Richmond, yes'.crday afternoon, giving the history of tho Virginia Election bill, tho passage of which he largely attributed to his influence. A Fortress Monroe dispatch says that there was a violent northeast snow storm yesterday, and that a large nnmber of vessels, including two ocean steamers, were driven to the roads fo?#* harbor. LETTER FROM THE ENROLLING OFFICER. Griffin, tbe enrolling officer, writes the fol? lowing letter to the Abbeville Press: 1 hope you will indulge mo by inserting this card in your paper. I see a correspondence in the Columbia Phontx between his Excellency R. K. scott and Mr. Williams, relative to the organization of the indi.ia. I received in? structions from the Aojutant-Gcneial to raise a company. I first tried to raiao a white com? pany, but never eur ?lied a single white man. lhere waa only ono alternative left, and that was to eor ?ll colored men, which I sa v at once would so disorganize labor as to make it almost impossible to make a croo in this country. I wrote immediately to Governor i-cott telling bim my tears organizing a colored company, and m reply received a ietter from his Excellency R. K. Scott, saying ho did not intond for me to commonce enrolling at once. And instructed me to notify all those wiahiue to cn? oil them? selves in the militia, that for tho present tho enrollnieut will be suspended; advise tho labor? ers to devote themselves to their employment, and waste no time in looking for military or? ganizations. 1 can safely say if the civil law.* are enforced by tbe officers now in office, tho citizens of Abbeville need never fear the pres? ence of an armed force again. But when a m ac 18 tra le is told to his face that if he had issued a warrant for tho artist of certain parties for a violation of the peace, that neither bc nor his constable could arrest LUajm (and I know they have not been arres! ed, ) I will just ask'thv good law-abidiug citizens, if tho civil law fails to reach those cases, muet we submit and let them po at large, a terror to the country? Respectfully LEM. L. GUFFTN. FROM TUE STATE CAPITAL. The Agricultural Convent Ion-Building and Loan Assoc intto n-Senator Sprague and thc Columbia Canal-A Sketch of the Kew Postmaster-Wo? man's lt ?gtits and Splritaali?in. [FROM OCR OtV? CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA. April 12,18G9.- Thc subject most in the minds of oar countrymen in and about Columoia is tho Agricultural Convention, which ts to come ofl'oii tho 28th instant. Ihe preparations aro already made, and lhere is f{.ir hope of a successful affair. Mr. Wright, of Nickeraon's Hotel, offers two inducements tho use of his ball, which is a suitable ono, and board to delegates at half price. As the Co? lumbia Hotel-a fine now building on Main? street-is to be opened in time for tho conveu tion, it is not impossible that the spirit of liberal competition may offer somo other or greater inducements in tbis direction. Tho prompt action of 'he com? mittee authorized by tho Board of Directors of tho South Carolina Institute to invite and nom iuato delegates to tho convention, from the coast, is highly satisfactory; and is universal? ly ielt to indicate that that portion of tho State means business, and that the same spirit will pcrvado thc convention. Tho up-country ia a little slow, to say the least of it, in this move? ment; although in Abbeville Couuty-the prota? gonist in thia measure-Anderson, Richland, and, I hear, Fairfield, have already appointed tboir delegates; and it is believed hero that, with one or two exceptions, all tho counties traversed by railroad at least, will come up to time and bc ready on tho 28th. SAYINGS BANE AND BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCLV TION. Since the establishment of the National Bank in this city, two other steps in tho financial way have been taken; one of them within tho last few days. Thcso two step i are asavmgs bank and a building and loan association, both new things to our people. Both have long been definitely wanted, and both promise to do essential service in their way; but a couple of extensive cotton factories on tho> Columbia Canal that Senator Sprague bought a few months ago, would do four times as much good in a material way for our community. Rumors begin to como in nov that Senator Sprague is to break ground towards building hiamimmctb factory sometime towards the end of the incoming summer. THE NEW POSTMASTER. The appointment of Charles M. Wilder to bo postmaster at this place ia understood to be indication of the President's policy towards tbo South, rather than as a special blow al a place or at persons. That ia to say, Wilder, although colored-he is a white quadroon, or three-quarters white-is, perhaps, thc least objectionable, person illy, of all his darker race; and in appointing him the President has extcuted his vindictivo and party-tool puiposo in tho least objectionable way ho could. Wilder is well known, and, apart from his contact with the party in which ho serves, is uni? versally respected. Ho has but little educa? tion and moderate ability; but is not defiled by any of the arrant proatitution of principles that amutches almost every ono of his party issociatea. Ho is thc most decent nogro of the Radical party that could hare boen ippointed, and, negro as be is, he stands iioad and shouldcia above tho white scal iwags and carpct-baecers who havo wonned ;hemselves through dirty ways into eo many )f our offices. Wilder gives up his Irado as :arpentcr for his new office. He baa not taken my tteps towards entering upon the duties rot, and probably will not until another build ng bo secured, as the one in wbicu tho office s now kept belongs to tbe late incumbent him lelf. WOMEN'S BIGHTS AND SPIRITUALISM. As savings banks and building and loan as octations go together, and wo have tho pair, o havo we another pair cf novelties-woman's ights and spiritualism. Late in the session f tho recant Legislature the Judiciary Com littce, in the presence of tho adjourned touse.heaxd Louisa Rawlins-a well-known mu ittrcss of Charleston-deliver her views upon ho constitutionality of women's voting. The ntcring wedge of spiritualism-spiritism is thc roper word-was tho lecture announced in Sun ay morning's Pnonix, and which came off Sun ay evening at Jauni y's Hall. Tho subject is 'Humanity'* Final Triumph an-.l Victory over louth;" and tho lecturer, whoso name docs ot appear, is a citizen of Columbia. Thc ?ras are coming in upon us with a vengeance. ?be lecturer pre jcnled tho usual tenets of that at her heterogeneous doxy, called spiritualis tc-not taking issue with any religion, except rather au important exception) the issue with be plenary inspiration of tho Scriptures. There was nothing specially new in tho matter resented; new, that is, to thoso who have labblcd into th3 Andrew Jackson Davis litcra ure. The audience was rather slim, consist ng to a great extent of Jews and juveniles. The lecturer waa unquestionably in earnest n the gravest possible earnestness-while the learers were far less so. COBSAIB. VUE REGIS1RARSUIP OF MESSE CONVEYANCES. Judge Carpenter gave yesterday judgment of limier Against Mr. Henry Troscot, ibo Rogis rar of Mosue Conveyance, to which offico Wil? lam J. McKinlay (colored) was elected by the legislature in December last. The opinion of Tudge Carpenter is as follows : :HE STATE EX RELATIONS THE ATTOBNEY-OENE BAL Vs. HENRY TBE6C0T-Q? > WABBANTO. Opinion. -On the-day of January last he Attorney-General filed bis suggestions for i writ of quo UMiranto against tho responde it, Jeiiiy Troscot, then holding tho offico of tegistrarot Ileane Conveyances for Cbarlcstou :ouuty. That suggestion sots "torth in brief, hat ot. the 9th day of December, 18G8 William r, McKinlay waa duly elected by joint voto of ho General ?ssembly, to tho office of ttcgistrar i ilesue Conveyances 'or Chariestc i County; hat on thc Gili tiny of January, lSoy lie re eived bis comm?s-ion therefor from tho Oov rnor; that on th* 7ih dav ot January, 1SG9 ho ras duly qualified tor the said office; that on lie 9th day of January, -1809, ho made demand pou tho respondent for tho possession and tijoyuicnts ol bis office, which demand has eon refused up to the present timo; and that lie re.-poudent is now usurping tho office of legist rar of Mernie Convo)anees, iii violation ot ne laws of ihe State : Wherefore the Attoruey ioneial prays arillo against the respondent, ?quumg h:ni to sh>w cause by what authority 0 Holds tho . aid ofhvc. In accordance with tb?? prayer of the augges bu above recited, a rule was granted, return lie on tho first day of February last before io, anting at Chambers, requiring the r?? pondent to answer to the allegations contam d in the suggestion ; on whi'-h day thc rc potident appeared by counsel and made return ) the rule, tu substance, as follows : That tho espondentwaa duly elected Registrar of Mesne iiiiveyauces tor Charleston County, theo Dis rict, ou the 1st day of December, 1865, and tts qualified auder tho said election, on thc l:h day of Jauuary. 18CC; and on tho tamo ay was c nitiiisMoucd bv Governor Jam-s 1*. Tr. tho "commission to conlinuo in force for mr years from thc timoroir qualification." nich tenn ha* not yoi expired ; the rospond nt. tboroforo, claims tl.at ue is legally entitled 1 the possession a?ul enjoyment ?f bis offica util tho expiration of his full tenn of four mrs from tue 81th day nf January, 18ol". Tho facts sot forth in tho susgestio i and the return io the rule arc admitted both by re? lator and r?spondent. Io the argument of thc cause, it was maintained by tho ?ttorney Gcnerul : 1st. That the election under whHi tho res? pondent holds his office, waa held under the authority of the Provisional Government of South Carolina, and that, consequently, his tenure of office was at ail times liablo to be terminated by the action of the pormanent eovernment which succeeded it. 2d. That the tenure of office of the respond? ent was confirmed and continued by the act of the General Assembly, passed Ausust the loth, 1868, until the electiou and qualifica? tion, according to law, of his successor. 3d. That the election of W. J. McKinlay on the 9th of December, 18G8, and his subsequent qua'i heat ion, according to law, terminated tho tenure ot office of the respondent, and gave a clear risrht to his successor to ontcr at onco upon his office. To determine this question in this case, it will be necessary to refer to the past history of the country. After the cessation of hostili? ties between "the Un.ted States and Confede? rate States, tho President issued his proclama? tion declaring that no form of civil govern? ment existed in South Carolina, appointed a Governor and anthoriz d tho people of thc State, upon thc terms and conditions therein pi escribed, to hold a convention and form a Stale Government. Under and by virtue of that proclamation a convention was called, a constitution was formed, officers were clectod under it, a Legislature assembled, passed laws and the new government went into full operation. The source of this new State gov-1 eminent was military power. Ibo President derived his authority to permit its establish? ment from his military character, as Commau dci-in-Chiet of tho Army and Navy of the United States. Said government was provis? ional and ter porarv, not permanent and es? tablished. The civil authority might alter or abolish it at pleasure. (Litensdorter & Hough? ton vs. Webb. 20 Howard, 17G.) And this was exercisod by tho passage of the act of March 2. 1857, entitled "An act to provide tor the moro efficient government of the rebel States." 1 his act deel res in express terms that no legal Seato governments exist in thc States therein named, among which is that of South Carolina: provides in what manner said tri?tes shall bc governed, and upon what conditions they shall be finally admitted to representation in the Congress of the United States; that "until such Stales are bv law ad? mitted to representation in the Congress of thc United States, any civil government which may exist therein shall bc deemed provisional only, and in all respects Bubjctt to the para? mount authority of the United States to modi? fy, control or supersede the same." The acts amending that of March 2.1, con Srm beyond a doubt this view of the then civil icovernment of this State. Under and by vir? tue of these acts a convention was called in this Statt, a constitution formed, submitted to the qualifie! electors, and by them adopted; md a government was thereupon organized, which, by tho tonns of the acts of Contrross ind the nature of the case, was permanent and established. It is a well settled principle of law establish? ed by elementary writers and an unbroken cur 'cnt ot judicial decisions, that even in a con? fered country, tho laws in foreo at thc timo )f tho conquest rema ns so, until repealed or nodified by thc conqueror; and a fortiori this a tho truo rule uud-r th ? peculiar circumstan :es to which 1 havo rclerred. Tho act of 1812 (vol. 5th of tho statutes, )ago 674) provided that Registrars of Mesne Jonveyances should thereafter be elected by Oint ballot of both branches of tho Lcgis ature, for four vcara, and until another bo ilc-clcd. By the act of 1626, the Registrar of Mesne Donveyancos was required to give a bond and ind security for the faithful perfo manee of j he duties of his office. ( Vol. 6-283 ) Section 30, Article 2. Constitution of South Carolina, requires members of the General Assembly, and all officers, before they enter ipon the execution of tho duties of tlioir rcs lective offices, and all lucmbora of tito liar, ?eforo they cuter upon the practice of their irolcssioa. to take and subscribo tho oath aid section prescribed. It will be observed that a new condition not ?etore required was imposed upon that officer ty this constitutional provision. The respondent bavins been elected tm the st day of December, 18G5, and commissioned anuary 24tb, 18C6, as the acta ot tho General i.saembly.in r?f?rence to the office of Registrar ave not buen repealed, he will be entitled to ontinue in office until tho 24th day of January ext. unless his official tenure has been tcrmi ated by the act of August, 15th, 1868. (Sess. cts. pago 4.) and the aubst quent electiou and I I nahfication of W. J. McKinlay. Section 1 nada " that all Stato, District and Municipal fticers appointed or elected uutler tho late .rovisional Government of South Carolina, not emuved by military authority, and whese pla es have not beeD filled by electiou or appoint? ant under tho new cous'itution, shall con inuo in office until their sc.eral offices are lied by tho election or appointment and quali cation according to law of their successors, or ntil the duties of such offices havo been dc olved by authority ?ftre General Assembly pon other officers duly elected or appointod, nd qualified according to law, uuder the new onstitution." The office not being one of those pru>.dcd >r ia the constitution, was liablo to bo altered r abolished by tho legislative power, upon to organization of tho permanent govern lent. That department, however choso not t> ? 1 mend tho act or abolish tho office, but instead rovided that tho incumbent should remain in [fice uitil his successor should boelcctodand ualitied; tho word "until." in the above cou ection, is a word of limitation; thc meaning lerofoie is that ho shall ?ontniuc in office un 1 the election or nppomtm nt and qualifiua- , on according to law of his successor, and no \ ! inger. Where tbe meaning of the body of tho dis doubtful, the title may be relied on as n assistance in arriving ut a conclusion. Sedgwick on Stat, and Con. Law, page 50, aud ases there cited.) Thc title al the act of 1808 is "an Act regula- | j ing thc tenure of certain offices and appoint? ants thereto aud for other purposes." All the offices whose tenures aro regulated y this suttitc we- e created by lormer statutes, ?id tho tenn for which tho incumbo.its wcro o hoid them respectively, fixed by law, hence lie titlo seems clear'y to* indicate "an intention n the part of tho Legislature lo chango the lien existing terms of the persons to whom lie act applied. William J. McKinlav was elected on tho ninth ay of December, 1868, by joint ballot of both ouses of the General Assombly; on thc sixth ay ot January, 1869, lie was duly qualified by 1 ivintr tho required bond and taking the oath ] f office prescribed by thu now constitution. 1 his was an election and qualificatioj within ] io iutent of the act of 1868, aud heneo tito 1 ?rm of Mr. Trescot expired on thc day tho 1 aimant in this case complied witlt thoso con- * ttious precedent. The construction of this, and thc prior acts ftlio Legislature contended for by the rc- | > wtident, nut only doos violence to tho language f that ot 1SS8, but makes the whole act of nu feet; in short construes it ato nj altogether. | I ne horan r net. and that ol' 18J8, slnuld bo mstrued r-tir? materia, and then it would sem to admit of littio doubt that thu legisla vc will was that thc officers should bc elected y joint ballot, should give bond, lake the pre .ribed oath, and continuo it ollie;: for four jars, provided those who were elected hy tho rovisiou.il Government continue in office* only mil their successors should bo elected. If io Legislature liad devolved tho duties ul | 1 ns oflieu upon thc Clerk ot' tho Court of Com lou Pleas aud General -cssiniis, would it be intended th. t Mr. Treseol's terni of office did ot cease the moment alien au act became law? he sanio words of limitation having Wen sed in reference lo both contingencies it terns clc.ii-to my mind that thc same result Hows, viz: that the legal tenure of Mr. Ties- | it was tleictmined and ended on the day that te claimant qualified according to law. and | * tat therefore the State is chillier] to judy lent of ouster against the respondent.

SUICIDE AND AN EXECUTION. Details of the Suicide of Twitch ell History of his Crime-Scenes at thc execution of Gerald Katon-Ile Pro? tests hi 4 Innocence to thc Last-At? tempt at resuscitation. Thc Philadelphia papera como to us filled with the details of the suicide of Twitchell and tho banging of Eaton on Thursday last. We make some extracts : SUICIDE OF TWITCHELL. Twitchell was found, at 5.20 A. M., lving on bis back, with his banda clenched and bia mouth wido opon, showing marks of an ago? nized death. Alter doath tho body bocame very much discolored. Subsequent investiga? tion showed that bc bad come to his death by strychnine, and that Eaton waa fully aware ot TwitchelFa intention to commit Buicide. The following statements wero e.icited from the watchman ot tho priaou : Twitchell was visited on Wednesday afternoon by his friend (Mc Ouliy), by his father and by the Kev. Mr. Uriiighurat, his spiritual adviser. Tho inter? view between tho culprit and bia Iriend (Mc Cully.) was very affecting. The father of the prisoner remained until a late hour, and after he bad gone tho clergyman stayed with ibo prisouer until half-past eleven, when the pris? oner requested that he might be left alone, as be felt a desire to get a little sleep during the night. Ho was utterly prostrated during tho | afrernoon, and so weak that it was thought that it would have been necossary to support him to thc scaffold. At two o'clock this morn? ing, thc watchman says ho looked into Twit chcll's coll and saw him stretched at full lensth upon the bed, with tho bedclothes lrawn over bis bead. The watchman supposed bim to bc asleep. At a quarter past five this morning thc keeper went to tho ?roll and called to awake the prisoner: but, receiving no replv, entered tho cell and found that Gcorgo S. Twitchell was a lifeless corpse. On tho previ? ous night, owing to the account given by Jerry Eaton-who occupied a coll in sight of Twitchell's and within easy hearing diatan:o of it-ot what had passed during tho evening be? tween Twitchell and himaclf, tho cell of the former Tas carefully searched to see ii he had any means of committing suicide. Eaton had related that on calling out to Twitchol' to cheer up and die like a man, Twitchell said: "You will havo to go aloue to-morrow; I'll not be with you;'' and then held up his thumb and finger, as if holding somothing between them, and said, "Mum's the word." From this Eaton coucludcd that Twitchell intended to commit suicide, and informed tho keeper of bis suspi? cions. A post-mortem examination of tho body was held at tbrco o'clock this atlornoo i. and tho following testimony before the coroner's jury was elicited. No clue was obtained as to bow Twitchell procured tho poison: Dr. E. B. Shapleigb being sworn, said : I mado a post-mortem examination of the body of Twitchell; the eyes were examined first, and a peculiar diynoss about iho corners was ob? served; tbcro was a stain on the lower lip, which could not be washed away; the brain wus examined, the blood-vessels of which wore found to bo excessively congested, and tho odor of prussic acid was noticeable besides a peculiar redness of blood; that which ran upon the bench and floor did not coagulate; tho lungs wero congestod; tho heart was flacid and contained fluid blood; tho liver was in a normal condition; tho stomach contained but a small quantity of fluid, but 1.0 aolid food; tho mucous membrane of the stomach was ina state uf high congestion; tho odor of pruaaic acid was obaerved whenever tho body waa opened; I had no doubt on my mind as to tho cause af death from the examination; but in searching thc cell I discovered a bottle wruppod na paper in thc too of a bool; it contained a ?Cition of cyanide of potassium, which is a deadly poison; it was a half ouueo bottle and ia about half lull; a portion of it waa evidently poured in tho tin cup by thc prisoner and swal? lowed by him as ho lay on tho bed; tbcro is no Jouht that George 8. Twitcboll carno to his Jeatb by poison administered by himself. Other physicians all concurted with Dr. Shap? leigb as tb Ihe causo ot his death. lt was stated that Twitchell i;ad contempla? te:! foi sonic timo tho commission of suicido, iud this is baaed upon a letter which it io alleg? ad lie wrote to au intimate friend, in which ho is reported as having said: "? caunot and will aot die on a scaffold." Las', evening two of his :ounsel a.iw lum, and from his urging them to sall on bim in tho morning, they believe that l'wi'chell must have mado up his m iud af tor this interview. Tho matter of suicido was talked of through this city last nigh?, ?ind as in ev deuce of ita probability a well-known trcntlomin states that about eleven o'clock he ivas informed that Twitchell would oo found .lead this morning, and in so positive a man? ner was this assertion made that bu was induc? ed to believe it. TWITCHELL'S cuniE, In tho month of NovcmDer of last year, Mrs. Hill, an old lady ol' sixty- five; Mr. George S. Twitchell, a youug man of iwonty-eight years if agc, and her daughter. Mrs. Georgo S. Twitchell. agod about thirty-five, occupied a tine house at tho corner or Tenth and Pino ?treets, Philadelphia. They had in their cm ploy a servant girl named Sarah Campbell, who, on the : ftcrnoon of tho 22d of Novomber, went out, as was her habit on Suuday ai?er noon, to spend tho time until evening with lier friends. Returning homo at hair-past nine in tho ovemtig, she rang the bel), but no ono jam . to open the door. Again she rang, and igaiti, seven or eight timos at intervals, and knocked loudly until at Ipngth George 8. Twitchell openod the door for her, a vory un? usual thing for bim, ns Mrs. Hill had been in tho habit ol'staving up to let Sarah in. Mr. md Mrs. Twirchell .vere in tho habit of retii? ng oaily. On opening tho door that night, Twnchtfl, nfter remarking that it was cold, ?aid, 'T wonder where mother can be?" to ivhich thc girl replied that she did not know. Ho tuen went up stairs and Sarah Campbell proceeded into the kitchen and lighted a can lie. Seeing tho kitchen door open she went to mut it, when she was horrified at beholding :ho body of Mrs. Hill lying upon the pave? ment The alarm was at once given and L'WltCbc.l came down stairs, as altera limo bis ivife also. On seeing the body Twitchell ex? claimed, "My God I what is this ? will some me assist mo in carryiug lier m ?" Tho body iras brought ju and tho neighborhood aroused. V policeman uamed Howard was the first to irnvc upon tho scone, and soon afterwards a jumberof ihc neighbors. Twitchell was wasti? ng the head of ills. Hill when theae people ar? rived. Thc spectacle presented by the body of ho murdered woman -for she had evidently joon murdered-was ghastly. Thirlcon deep vounds were found upon the face and head, hrs. Twitebell, on being asked by one of tho leighbois, a Mrs Morroll, what had happened o Mis. Hill, said, "She fell out of thc window." \n examination of tho premises was made, vheu a scene of sickening horror was f und in ; ,'ic dining mom up slatrs, from the window of vhicli Mrs. Hill was alleged to have fallen. A iota and piilow stained with thick blood, a jool of goro upon the floor, spots of blood lpou the sarpets and sprinkled over the walla, ind tho window aasli und sill also smeared : iver with blood, while in a corner of the ; oom a poker covered with blood and having ?ray hair sticking to lt was lound. Mr. and drs. Twitchell were chained with thc murder ( md placed linder aires . Their trial came off , il December and excilcd intense interest not ! inly in Philadelphia, but over the whole corni ry. The prisoners demanded to bo tried cparatoly, and George ti. Twitchell waa first . ?laced on ho aland.

Tho theory that Mrs. Hill was mnrdor i1 by pat\io> who had entered the houso for lie purpose of robbery was utterly demolished. 1 nfine, thc testimony against Georgo d.Twircb II was overwhelming, and he was nmud guilty nd sentenced to be huug.

Fathers O Bailly and Barry an i ved at tho Tison, entered the cell and cclobrated a mass ur tho e.md inned, after which the holy com iir.iiiou was administer.^. The priests, at Eaton's request, erected an altar in tho cell Previous to celebrating mass. Upon being asked by Father O'Boilly about the murder, he said he bad nothing to say, and that ho never fired tho pistol. About seven o'clock Keepers Cassidy and Peterson opened tho cell door and entered with tho last breakfast which Eaton was to eat. lt consisted of a couple of boiled eggs, bread and butter and a bowl of coffee. Upon being asked how he felt, he said, "1 feel liko eating a hearty breakfast," and this state men' was fully verified by his devouring all which was set b fore him. SOOT/-RABEO WING 8PECTAOLE. A very affecting scene occurred at eight o'clock, when his poor wife, his adopted daughter, his brother-in-law, and sister-in-law visited him tor tho last time. Tho interview did not last long, but all of his relatives clung to him in a frantic manner, and sobbed bitter? ly. Eaton remarked to his wife that she should not try to unnerve bim, but rather en? deavor to cheer him up, BO that he micht bo enabled to meet his doom as became an inno? cent man and a Christian. Two of his counsel, CharloB W. Brooke and John V. McDonough, Georgs H. Smith, Joshua C. Taggart, and John Nolan visited him. He spoko in the highest terms of his counsel, especially Mr. Brooke, and thanked all his friends for the way in which the.'- had Ptriven to holp him. He then bado the turee latter contlcmcn an affectionate farewell, and they left the cell deeply deplor? ing Eaton's position. THE EXECUTION DELAYED. Eaton's spiritual adviser* were in his cell alone all tho morning, and did not loave him until tho fatnimoment arrived. The execution was long delayed so as to afford the doomed S"an every possible chance of getting a re? prieve. About eleven o'clock wo Joolcedin his coll and he was smoking a cigar. Ho shook bands with us in a cheerful manner, and did not evince tho slightest emotion. 6?SP2NSE. During the morning each person inside tho orison was going about in a droadfui state of suspense, atone timo walking down tho prison yard and looking at the instrument of death, and then passing alone: the inside corridor and gazing at Eaton's cell, but all tho time express? ing great sympathy for tho condemned, and hoping that the ropriovo would arrive by noon. Every time tho boll at the prison gate rang there was a general rush to the door, each faco bea ning with the hopo that the ringer was a messr-ngor of "glad tidings" to the dying man; but ab last a gentleman arrived who informed Air. Brooke that it was now use loss to hope for a reprieve. Mr. Brooke imme? diately repaired to Eaton's coll and informed bim bow matt rs stood and the impossibility of a respite arriving from Harrisburg. During all this time Mr. Brooko was in a fearful state ot oxcitemont; his face was death? ly palo, and he was continually conversing with the sheriff, with a view, we supposed, of fretting thc time of tho execution postponed as ate as was possible. CALI. OF THE BOLL. Precisely at half-past twelve Sheriff Lyle called the jury into the keeper's office and re? quested his principal deputy, Mr. Smith, to read the death,warrant. All the jurors ans? wering to their names, the reading of the death warrant was proccoded with. DBE AD SUMMONS. Tho sheriff then announcod the order in which tho parties present were to proceed to the scaffold!. General Lyle, at twenty-five minutes to ono o'clock, went to tho cell of Eaton and informed bim that the time had arrived when ho was to meet his fate. Eaton replied : "It is an unpleasant duty you have to perform, but you must do your duty." FBOM THE CELL TO THE SCAFFOLD. Thc cell was then left behind, and at twenty minutes to ono the condemnod man reaohod the door of the keeper's office, from which place the procession started on tho fatal jour? ney. Tho sun, which had been shining all thc morning, waa enveloped in a dark cloud, which remained until thc execution was over. Directly thc procession emerged from the prison. That quiet walk to death, along tho C-rrdor running from cast to weet at tho north end of thc prison, was a very solemn and an impiessivo one. Eaton walked firmly, and did not exhibit any emotion. His face was un? naturally palo, which was thc result of his long confinement. Ho kopt kissing tho crucifix in his hands, and repeating the responses aftor his confessors during the wholo of that walk, und no sound was heard save the thud ot the walking multitude. At the end, and a Little to tho south of thc passage, was tho gallows upon which Spring, Winnemoro, Probst, and others suffered the extreme penalty of the law for their bloody climes. Father Barry ascondod thc steps, followed by Eaton, who walked in a firm manner, Fathor O'Reilly, the sheriff, and tho carpenter who was employed to erect tho gallows. Eaton stood in thc centre of thc plank, hie confessors on cither sido, Sheriff Lylo at tho top of tho stops, and tho carpenter behind. Eaton's black hair was carefully arranged, but the wind blow it from ono side of his head to the other. Ho was dressed in a black cloth sack coat, doublo-brcastod velvet vest, snuff colored trowsers, top boots, whito shirt and collar, and a black necktie. Mis whito pocket handkerchief was hanging half out of his coat pocket. SOLEMN BEBVICE. A special se.-vice for tho burial of the dead, according to tho rites of tho Catholic Church, was then performed, the culprit repeating aftor tho priests. Ho thon knelt down, raisod bis eyes to hoaven, occasionally kissing tbe cruci? fix, and repeated the Lord's Prayer, and made other atonements. Ho thon roso to bis feet, repeated othor ho'y passages, kissed tho cru? cifix for tbe last timo in a loud and earnest manner, shook hands warmly with both of his spiritual attendants, and bado them farewell in n very touching marmor, after which they lett the scaffold. Sheriff Lvlo then steppod forward with Moroll, the carpontor. The for? mer put out his hand to Eaton, who looked straight into his face and smiled. Tho sheriff inquired if he wished to say any? thing before dying, whereupon he protested his inuocenco ag tin and again, and said, as ho hoped to meet bis Maker, ho never fired a shot on that fatal night. THE LAST MOMENTS. Morell then handcuffed Eaton, stood bobind him, and placed the noose around his neck. Eaton moved his head, apparently horrified when tho ropo first touched him. For some reason tho rope was taken off, and the knot fixed just uudcr the left car. Eoton turned his faco upward, and then closod his eyes for? ever. 1 he sheriff then drew from his pocket tho whito cap, placed it over tho head of Eaton, and 'hen descended from the scaffold. Moroll followed, tho rope waa brought across tho yard, tho end boftig dropped into a cellar close hy, and at ten minutes to one o'clock the unfortunate man was hung. After ho dropped ho did not straggle once, indicating that ho died an easy death. For somo time there was a contraction of tho body, which was only mus? cular. Eaton dieri, as was anticipated, tn the most heroic manner, not exhibiting anv fear, but at thc sumo limo, unlike most of tho crim? inals, ho faced his God without displaying any u: seem ly bravado. Just before tue bolt was drawn, one of tho observers drew back from the scaffold, exclaiming, "This is hotriblc butchery I" In twenty minutos Messrs. Smith and Butcher, tho physicians attached to t ic prison, pronounced that tbe heart and pulse had ceas? ed to beat, and that life waa extinct. After tho body had been hanging thirty-one minutes, it was cut down, the time being precisely twcnt\ cme minutes pist one o'clock. Moiell procured a ladder, placed it against the scaffold, untied ibo rope, and tho body was tenderly lowered on a truck and taken on its return journey along tho samo corridor into the prison. Thc face and neck ot tho body were examined by the surgeons and thc jury. A discoloration linder the left ear, where tho knot waa pl iced, was visible, and tho taco waa also discolor sd. A BDSE. In compliaucc with a request from Eaton's relatives no poat-mortem ex munition was made, and his hotly was handed over to his friends, who started, as they said, to convey it to an unlertaker's. Instead of conveying tho body to an undertaker it was driven rapidly to a college in South Ninth-street, and an attempt waa made at resuscitation. Thc galvanic bat? tery wa s applied, lo the horror of tho friends of deceased, and mustard was used, beside rolling. No knife .vas allowed to bo used by thc trierds. and after two boura' manipulation nf the body, it was consigned to the legitimate custodian of inanimate uodies, tho undertaker. Tho funeral mil take place, it is said, on Sat? urday next. C UAH LH -?TON A O KIO ULTU HAL WAREHOUSE AND SEED STORE. A GR1CUL l URAL IMPLEMENTS, GARDES SEL'DS. die. rt ED. E. PJNGItKE.
