The action of tlie present admin istration in appointing to offices a number of representative colored republicans, is one that will be en dorsed by all fair-minded men. The fact that about live times as many colored men have been ap pointed to office by this adminis tration as by the last, disproves the charge made by the democratic party that the colored people would receive no recognition under the republican administration. The following shows colored re publicans who have been appointed to important offices so far, and does not include a number of ap pointments to minor positions in the different departments at Wash ington and elsewhere: John R. Lynch, of Mississippi, fourth audi tor of the treasury, $8,600; J. M- Townsend, of Indiana, recorder of the general land office, $2,000; Robert Smalls, of South Carolina, collector of customs at Beaui'ord, S. C, $1,000 and fees. Frederick Douglass, of the District of Colum bia, minister to Ilayti, $5,000; N. Wright Cuney, of Texas, collector of customs at Galveston, Texas, $4,500; James Henley, of Alabama, register of the land office at Hunts ville, Alabama, $3,000; N. II. Alex ander, of Alabama, receiver of the land office at Montgomery. Ala bama, $3,000; J. H. Patty, of Louisa n a, naval ojcer of customs for the district ot JNew Orleans, Louisana, $5,000; John J. Spell man, of Mississippi, special agent f the general land office, $1,500 and traveling expences; George C. Smith, of Missouri, special agent of the general land office, $1,500 and traveling expenses: Samuel Lee, of South Carolina, special surveyor of the general land office, $1,800 and traveling expenses. This is a pretty good beginning and it is more pleasing be cause most of the appointments have been given in the south where a colored republican has little, if any, show for recognition in poli tics. Telegram. THE EXECUTION OF CRIMINALS. The Electrical Engineer does not share the feeling expressed by some electricians that the employ ment of the electric current in capital punishment would disgrace r stigmatize their vocation. We take the liberty, however, to point out the following paragraph from the report of the commission: "Your commissioners are firmly convinced that if the criminal could be put to death in a certain and efficacious manner the pur pose of the law would be achieved qually well as if the terrors of death were enhanced by the inflic tion of prolonged physical torture before the end was finally accom plished. . Various suggestions have been made as to the means of ac complishing such a result. One has been the injection of a violent and sudden poison, such as prussic acid, by means of the hypodermic needle, into the body of the con demned, which is open to the very serious objection that the use of the instrument is so associated with the practice of medicine and as a legitimate means of alleviat ing human suffering that it is hardly deemed advisable to urge its ap plication for the purpose of legal executions against the almost unanimous protest ot the medical profession." We are not told when and how the medical proffession was polled on the Question, but the above paragraph clearly implies that the suggestion of poison was satisfac tory but for the feelings of the doctors. It haaalwavs seemed to us that the question, of simple and more humane executions could be best met by physicians,. There is no doubt that they could provide simple method of poisoning which ould' re- applied with? no expect- Children Cry for; ant attention on the part of the condemned unawares, say in sleep, if desirable, as we think it is and which would be nearer cer tain to inflict no conscious physi cal suffering than any other means hitherto suggested. THE ONLY SOLUTION. "I'rn so indignant that I can not properly express my.eu; crieu the speaker. 'Then put a stamp on yourself and go by mail," was the unsypa thetic response. One of Ellaville's gallant young disciples of Blackstone, finding business in the legal profession rather dull at this season, and having a wife and baby to provide for, laid away his law books, closed his office, doffed his stand ing collar, congress gaiters and courthouse clothes, hauled on his seediest garments, siezed a trowel, and sallied forth to earn bread by the sweat of his brow, until the law business picked up. lie had gotten a job of bricklaying and earned over $100 before his friends missed him out of town. There is a youth in Buffalo of an extremely taciturn disposition. He will sit at table and never ut ter a word from the potage to the coffee. Even when he goes out in company he has to make an effort to talk. But the moment he'drops asleep his tongue begins to wag, and he talks all night with scarcely a pause for breath. The youth is thinking of buying a phonograph to collect his brilhant conversation by night, and to grind it out by day for the bene fit of his friends. A leader of a German band in New York shot himself with a gun filled with water. The water killed him. Had the gun been filled with beer and limberger cheese, the dose would have proba bly proved harmless. Mrs. N. Peck I ran across one of your old letters to-day, Nathan, where you said that you would rather be in endless torment with me than be in bliss by yourself. Mr. N. Peck Well, I guess I got my wish. A woman at Pittsburgh, Pa., on being arrested for some misde meanor convulsively hugged her babv so violently in bidding it - good-bye that she squeezed it to death. Were it not for the constitution of the United States, slavery would still be a Kentucky institution for the constitution of that state still recognizes it.
