Execution ol' Foster.
NEW YORK, March 21.
Foster passed the day quiet, and re
maiued during the greater part ol' the time
in his cell. Ho heard parly in the day ol
the final effort of his counsel to prevent,
on legal technicality, his execution, and
his hopes revived. " On receiving the in
telligence that the effort had proved vain,
he becnm? very dejected, hung his head ou
his breast, and" desired that no one would
Speak to him except his wife She had
fainted on hearing of the failure of this
last effort, end on recovering she Mumed
to her Lu.-band, and pLe.ng her hand in
bis, sut bv him for hours, but spoke little.
About half-past eight o'clock last even
ing a final parting net ween Foster and
his wife took place, and both were deeply
affected. He kissed her repeatedly, and
?he clung to him, until overcome with
er mttoti ?he fainted and was carried away
by her brother. Tho prison officials were
deeply uffected by the sc ne. The Rev.
Dr. Tyng spent upwards of an hour yes
terday afternoon With Foster, who listen
ed earnestlv 'to his exhortations. Foster
was also vfsited during the day by his
brother in-law. his father, and by Father
Durangue, a Catholic Priest, but he re
fused to undergo the ordeal of parting
with his children, whom he ha? not seen
since his arrest.
He awoke at 7 o'clock -i his morning,
partook of a cup of coffee, but ate noth
ing, and was very pale ; his strength seem
ed fast failing. He was attended by the
Rev. Dr. Tyag and Rev. Mr. Schoontno
ker, Chaplain of Sing Sing. Reengaged
in devotional exercises until 9 o'clock. At
eleven minutes psst 9-he was led out, sup
Sorted by Sheriff Brennan and the under
heriff. He walked unfalteringlv to the
fcaffold, und his face had a hectic flush on
it. When he arrived beneath the scaffold,
the Rev. Dr. Tyng, assisted bv the Rev.
Mr. Schoonmaker, read the 5l3t Psalm,
and as the words were read in ffhich th?
Rev. Mr. Tyng besought Grui to ''open
the eye of m>-rcy to this Thy servant,"
the scene was hushed and impressive in
the extreme.
During the reading of the service Fos
ter stood beneath the scaffold, his head
bowed down, and ras left hand shading
his eyes. The Rev. Dr. Schoonmaker
shook hands with him, and said: "God
blcas thee, my dear friend." At seventeen
minutes past rune o'clock the bolt was
drawn, an i the body rose into the air
The condemned man gave one slight strug
gle only, so slight as to be almost imper
ceptible. There was an absence of the
usual movement of the shoulders. There
was a slight contraction of the lower limbs,
and a barely perceptible .motion of the
banda.
After hanging five minutes, the b?3y
waa lowered about nine inches, and a
minute thereafter, about a foot farther :
twelve minutes after the bolt had been
drawn, tte puke ceased to beat, and Fos
te? had ditii, almost without a struggle
li was evident during the reading of the
services, that he was rapidly sinking, an-i
scarcely able to stand. Physicians uoiiceo
this ; and Rev. Mr. Schoonmaker, had Lui
inst shook bands with him, and said " Good
bye, God bless you my friend," when the
fatal bolt was drawn.
After being allowed to bang a little
over twenty minutes, the body was lower
ed into a cuffln and conveyed into the dead
house of the Tombs, whence'it will be ta
ken to-day to the residence of his widow.
Interment will probably take place on
Monday next at twenty minutes before
10 o'clock. A crowd of Deputy Sheriff
and other?, consisting of one hundred and
fifty pel-sous, who had gained admission te
witness the execution, slowly made their
ex t from the scene.
buortly after Foster had been cut down
the sexton of Dr. Ty Hg's Church called ar
the Tomb.? and requested that the body
be allowed to remain tili late in the aft^r-j
noon, when it would be removed to the]
residence of his wile. None of the unfor
tunate man's friends have called to see
the body since the execution. He is lymy
in a room in tho Tombs in an undertaker's
box, waiting to be removed.

.SA?? FRANCISCO, March 18.-Matthew
Torpez shor^ Mrs. Nicholson a few days
ago, near Watsonville, Santa Cruz county.
Tue cause was a dispute concerning th?
ownership of some land. No provoeatLiii
was given fer the murder. Torpez was a
large land owner in that part of the State.
Yesterday afternoon a large mob, com
posed of persons from the adjacent town.'
and country, assembled together an
marched through Salina City to Monterey,
where they haited and formed m line m
front of >f<>ntcrey jail. They then eal ltd
on Sheriff Wasson to deliver up the jail
.key, but he refusing, they se.'zed him un.
kept him prisoner while they buttere.?
down tbe jail doors. When the clo*n>
were broken down several of the leader>
entered Torpeys '.vii and brought him out.
Torpez WHS very pale, and appeared very
much awed by the stern visages of thos<
assembled before the jail. They took hin.
to a convenient spot and hung him till lift
wa- extinct, aud the crowd then dispersed,
leaving Jailer Waroo at liberty.
The lynching caused a ti -mendous ex
citement throughout the country, but th
community appeared generally satisfied.
Torpez, it appear.-, ?nts borne a very bau
character huberto. He-has been the ter
ror of three counties, where his name is
associated with numerous outrages. He
was formerly Chief of the Vigilance Com
mittee of Monterey and Santa Cruz coun

A Model of Business Succ?s:
In our issue some time since we bi
occasion to allude to the remarkable sn
cess ot* Tho Piedmont and Arlington Li
Insurance Company, of this city. Tl
financial year having closed, and the fi]
ures being fully posted, show its rapi
strides in 1872 to have accorded with i
past brilliant career, while thc largo o
cumulations and solid Investments pr
I claim it not only a wonder in the arei
of Southern energy, but a monument i
lasting AS it is powerful in the hands
its able management.
The people of the South were accu
tomed to look for rapid financial growl
-shrewd business management, and a
cu-eul^tion of moneyed corporations-I
their more thrifty Northern Wenda, bi
this Corporation has demonstrated thi
Southern talent properly directed ca
equal any upon the globe. Notwithstam
lng the low price and failure of cropR 1
many section*. The Piedmont and A
Hnvton has kept onward and upwat
dnrine 1875, and secured in that year 4]
more new policies. $124,824 more in risk
and $40,9(37.35 -.noreIn netc premiums tha
in 1871.
The new business in 1873 is thus fr
almost double that of like period in 187
and indicates a year of much arreab
prosperity, as in the month of Februar
just passed it issued about four hundre
new policies, and near $900,000 of risk
Its prompt payment of losses, its contir
ued progresa, and the exalted charade
of Its mar agers, aro ample vouching fr
its solid worth ; yet it has not relied o
these alone, but haH sought and passe
that rigid scrutiny which is visited o
all like institutions which pass under th
eye of the Insurance Departments (
New York. Ohio. Kentucky, Marylant
Missouri and California, and lt is nc
successfully contesting with the olde
and larger Northern Compauie* in the!
own home fields for business
We are not partisans of any Company
por would we decry any solvent Nortl
ern or Eastern Company which come
among our people ; yet so great an indi
cation of the talent and energy of ou
own people as "The Piedmont and Ar
lington" awakens our Southern pride
and we feel bound to tell our friends c
its merit3, and call upon them to glv
preference to thia Corporation, which 1
as good as the best, and keeps their moue;
with oui own people.
i If the Companies from other section
do not receive more than they pay back
the}- lose, and must becomo bankrupt
but they do receive more from our peo
plc than they pay back, and hence to tha
extent drain us ofthat pecuniary life
blood wo so sadly need to rebuild ou
waste places and regain our financia
prosperity.
We cannot justify this pecuniary sui
cide, which results from sending nionej
off which can as safely be kept with oui
own institutions-as it undoubtedly car
be with Life Insurance in "Tho Pied
mont and Arlington;" and hence we ad
vise to give it preference. Many are mis
led by the dazzling array of millions ol
assets, held by older Companies, into the
idea that this makes them stronger; this
is false theory as applied to Life Insu
rance, or any other business; the true
test of strength is what they have as com
pared with what they owe, and a glance at
the matter in this, the only true light,
will show those older Companies are not
comparatively as strong as our Virginia
model. " The Piedmont and Arlington."
In every desirable respect its course has
been so wouderful-so commendable
? we take pride in looking to it as our
Southern leader in Life Insurance.
Its progress is great-its caution fully
evidenced-its assets well invested-its
expenses only about half of Companies.
. if like age-its prospects fine-and being
the only Southern Company that ha*
passed Inspection of Insurance Depart
ments, it has some entitlements to prefer
?nee over any Southern Company.
If tho public, then, seek solvency,
iconomy, good management, liberal fea
urcs and fair dealing, let them rally to
"The Piedmont and Arlington."
As before said, it is not our province
>r intention to decry solvent foreign com
panies, but our people to prosper must
learn the lesson of tiuancial t-elf-preser
>ation, and must not forget that the laws
of some of the States (New York espe
cially) forbid their companies from in
vesting out of their own bounds, and
hence every dollar sent to their com pa
nins is to that extent sell-impoverish
ment-so much money gone to bur peo
ple forever, except so far as the small
part returned to pay losses ; certainly not
i cent comes back for Investment, save
in death claims
Having given this advice, based on
:-u.-ts too plain to doubt, that "The Pied
mont and Arlington" is thc Company
not only for Southern patronage speiial

vest money where it receives ii, wo have

Calculated Jo Make Patterson Feel
Badly.
For some time past an Investigating
Committee of the United States Senate
has been looking into the l?ase of Sena
Caldwell of Kansas, accused of having
secured his election by bribery and cor
ruption. The Committee found this case
decidedlv a had one, and made a Report
declaring that Caldwell was not duly and
legally elected, and recommending that
his seatbe'declared vacant. Pending forth
pr proceedings-and while it was certain
that his seat would be declared vacant,
or th .t a resolution of expulsion
wonld bo carried by a two-thirds vote
the gentleman suddenly resigns, and his
resignation is accepted by Gov..'Osborn
of Kansas. This of -course, brings tho
proceedings to an abrupt close. It will
be remembered that our fellow. White
more, did precisely the same thing-but
without escaping ono iota of the stigma.
The New Custodians of the National
Treasury.
The, Hon. George Boutwcll having
been elected U S. Senat<n* from Massa
chusetts, Gen. Richardson, his Assistant
Secretary, has been promoted to the
Secretaryship of the U S. Treasury.
And Ex-Senator Sawyer, really of Mas
sachusetts, but lately of South Carolina,
has been appointed Assistant Secretary.
And now Mr. Secretary Richardson ought
to head the Government straight towards
specie payments, and in tho course of I
his four years land her safely on that j
shore. Mr. Boutwell, neither an able
nor an honest man, had but one idea
expansion. Mpre and more paper money
was his absorbing idea.
His Mother-in-law's Infirmity.
The most ludicrous thing, as wall as
the most disgusting, that bas gained pub
licity lately, is the charge, made in the
N Y. Tribune, that Ex-Vice President
Colfax, of Credit Mobilier infamy, un
blushingly turned his mother-in-law's
Infirmity into a source of gain. It was
after this wise. It will be remembered
by the public that, a yoar or more ago,
a letter from Mr. Colfax to the proprie
tors of the Cundurango-the cancer cure
-went the round of the papers. In this
letter Mr. Colfax endorsed tho Cundu
rango, stating that it had been adminis
tered to a relative of his, whose improve
ment was remarkable. This relative
was his mother-in-law, and she after
wards died of cancer. And now it is
charged that Mr. Colfax's certificate was
worthless, and that he was paid for it by
the Cundurango firm.
And yet this man has been Vice Presi
dent sf the United States, and is still a
Bengal light of the Republican party
and the Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation.
What a country ! What limes i What
manners ! One may well begin to ask
himself whether it is not a shame now a
days to be an American.

Two Days Before Foster's Execution
Two days before Foster's execution
three men, Irish laborers, entered a Ger
mao lager beer .saloon in.Scventy-l'otirll
street, New York, at mid day, and aile
drinking as much as they wanted, rc
fused to pay Upon tho proprietor, Jacol
Schmitt, remonstrating, and taking nm
oi the ruffians by the collar, ho was feilen
to the ground by a blow from the ring
loader with a beer bottle. While bleed
ing and insensible from tho fearful seul]
wound inflicted, thc ru?naos kicknd anc
spat upon the prosiralo mun. When hit
wife ran to rescue and protect him, om
nf tho murderous brutes drew a long
sheath knife and plunged it into her
back, just below the left shoulder blade.
But DOtKOtbilied with thi-, the fiend con
tinucd to sub the pojr^ helpless woman
in her breast and right arm. Thc three
scoundrels seemed lo vie willi each other
in brutality to both husband and wile.
A neighbor, Mr. Young, wfio appealed
hurriedly o i tho spot, attracted by tin
cries of distress, was also instantly
Btibhcd. And such was thc thirst for
blood and brutality of tho wretch who
Btabbed Mr. Young, that he turned the
knifo round and round in the wound. A
moro horrible and sickening event we
have seldom awn recorded.
And these fiends mudo their escape,
and have not been arrested. And as they
fled, they stabbed an innocent man,
named Lewis, who stood upon a bridge
In their way. Mr. Young is dead, and it
ls thought Mrs. Schmitt will die.
What a commentary on the efforts ol'
those who would save murderer* from the
gallows ! What a commentary upon, the
iden, that drunkonnesn should palliate
the crime of murder I
Stir A Washington dispatch says:
" The government ia still pardoning pris
oners at Albany convicted of Ku-Klnx
crimes, and unless there is positively
reasonable opposition from rosidont* in
tho localities where Ihe prisoners lived,
all will undoubtedly be pardonod lnsfore
very long 1 Such seems to bethe dispo
sition of tho government,"

next, and the^amount and to whom the
money was paid, whether to the Coun
ty Treasurer, or to H Strom, Chairman
of the Board of County Commissioners.
' As tSe lieenne'moriey hus not been ac
counted for during'the past few years,
the Taxpayers should begin to look into
this matter, as it is too much money for
ono person h/ maW? whilst ?a? thi sam?

rendering any service beneficial to the
County.
Will the good citizens give the meeting
on sale-day an account of the money they
have paid for license. Out of all the
money hitherto paid, the debt of the
County ia increasing every year.

On Friday last, while Foster was being
hanged in New York, another noted law
breaker, MoElhaney, the wife murderer,
