I wonder it he thought I shou'd go out on the scaffuld seven years’ duration and its prize was my life. I have fought under the greatest difli- culties any livi: g man ever encountered. SINGLE- HANDED AND ALONE, with the excep‘ion of my two attorneys, I have fought against the:whole power of the state. I have been defeated not by law, but by cunning tricks of the prosecu- tion. The law is not vindi-ated by my con- viction and punishment after seven years’ imprisonment.’’ **About my fate? Well, I am a firm be- iiever in the doctrine of predes ination. Man Is aot a free moral agent: even his will is reg- ulated by immutable decrees. Inthe spring of 1879 Mr. Beaeh, the Circuit A t rney, was willing to accept from me a plea of guiity of manslaughter with a two or three years’ sen- teuce to the penitentiary. I de:ayed its ac- ceptance, expecting to be able to furnish the $10,000 bond under which I could have been released. The state speculated on my Vary- ing mood:,of which it kept itself well posted. W hen I was frcud to accept a contract for a ten years’ sentence was again defrauded and given twen'y five. So you see that even my will was subjected to a ruling power. My reiigious views are of no concern to the public, as they are matters between me and my God, and nou between me and the public. In saying this I do not wish to convey the idea that I am an un- believer, but I think it bad taste to parsde my soui’s affairs before the public, or makeita pretense for sympathy.” “Wil you appeal to the United States Su- preme Court?’ All the “My conneciion with the case is enced.

Seward and Jones have dune afl and every- thing they could in my behalf, have worked nobly and deserve greut credit and they have my einsere gratitude. If they think their du:y is not yet compieted they must be the judges of their own actions. Harris but shrewd and iaoteiligent, fellow.
