Touching: Scenes at the Last Moment. FORGAVE HIS GOVERNOR FEARFUL END CAME QUICKLY. Boydton, Oct. 8rd, 1808. This qsJH lOWB Was the scene judicial munlor to-dav and hundreds.

who stood sroand la doabt, bow thraa theif shoulders uneasily when any ref? is made to unfortunate hap peiiing which lias resulted in the launch? ing tWO souls into OBS of whom is now admittedly innocent. Doe Bacon was hanged at upon the OhergS having attempted to criminal? ly a white lady, Mr. Genghegun. at Chase City, Mecklenburg county. about two months ami a half ago.

THE CRIME CHARGED. Ir seems that two colored men went to the lady's resilience at el? ven o'clock at night and throwing meal in her face. attempted SO drag her into a dark corner ol the ixirch. Aiuler Finch was urn-sted and he implicat? ed Bacein as being the man who was with him at tin? time. He subsequently admitted that ht had made a false in connection with Doc Bacon and tins stut? nient from the callows SeptenilM-r 2nd.

This declaration caused a pro found sensation and rhe Common wealth's Attorney was deeply thereby. He asked for a reprieve ami three days were which was fol? lowed by a further reprieve of thirty days. When the stay came BBOOB was prej-ariiiK to march to the gallows. UBMaWaaO Tin: QOVBaUKJeV The seem? here was wall described last week la the columns of the Pi.axki by Rev. J.

B. Ferrell. Homes, who presiih-d at the trial was immov? able and the resolutions passed by a committee of white citizens censuring the Governor for reprieving Baton had their effect. As the mutter now stands. many white psopls here are rilgriiHing the OOOaiTsaos and express their opinion thai an innocent man has been hanged.

A REM ARK Alii.E SCENE. The scene in the jail here Infere the execution was DOO Bacon did not faltar, although the light ol hope had gone out forever from his eyes, ffo ssiMiniiort tho gsilowi with firm step and showed Ins abiding faith in the Saviour by declaring that had nothing against those who had brought about his destruction. He had told the his whereabouts ami at no time had hi in his statement or con? tradicted hlmsnif DECLARED Ills INN? I.XCE. Standing up before the audience, who were there to li im executed, he de that there la the presence of the Almighty God in whom he trusted, be had been the victim of circum? stances and was Inaooeat of the crime for which he was to sutler. He hoped that some day that the man he found who bad been guilty of the but that he was not the man.

His ment made a most profound IniniessilMI upon bis hearers. THE FEARFUL PLL'XOK. A moment later, the black cap was adjusted and he had seen the last of earth. A creaking sound followed as the body shot through the trap-door. The body swayed to and fro.

There followed a silence, then a convulsive motion and all was over. Doc Bacon had been sacrificed at the behest of a mob. Two lives had been sacrificed for an attempted crime, one of whom was innocent, and the bloodthirsty crowd on the outside retired with the satisfaction of knowing that, whether guilty or in? nocent, there was one less Negro on this Bide of the river. The most distressing part of the affair was the sending of the remains to the Medical Department of the University of Virginia to be used by the doctors for dissecting purposes. OOV.

MONTAGUE'S EX l'I. AX AT ION. The Times-Dispatch quoted Governor Montague as follows: "Governor Montague when seen yes? terday in regard to the case of Doc Ba? con, was averse to going into print on the subject, but finally stated that he had intervened no further in the matter for the reason, that while there was considerable doubt in the minds of some of those interested in the case as to the guilt of the man, yet none of them were able to sustain this belief with any facts which would lead him as a on the benoh to asi the verdict, and ha, therefore BOt feel in making any forth? interference. have the opinione of? fadaje Homes, Commonwealths Attorney Gooda, and promiaeat oittasai who are familiar with the subject," said His Excellency limy all with me thai BO new STsBsaBOS has deve'oiu'd in favor the prisoner, which would warrant a farther respite.

"As a Southern man, 1 am no lover of simply want to re-: mind the convention that only a few years ago eleven Statos in this Union went on a strike against Uncle Sam. We know the result." This brmf, but impressive declaration had the effect of ending the discussion and defeating the resolution.

Douglass remained in the Clover ment Printing Office for several years until he voluntarily resigned to join his father in publishing a Negro newspaper in Washington. There was another instance whero the "open shop" policy was invoked. The issue was made on the appointment of a copy-holder, a French-Canadian named who was not a practi? cal printer.
