He was drunk and was disposed to be boisterous ; so much so that Seven, the proprietor, or dered hini out of the house. The negro refused to go, and Severs, seizing an axe- handle, caught him atufforced him out, striking him twice with the handle while ejecting him from the door. At this stage, Baker, why had taken offence at some general remark made by Wilfong, when he tirst cairn in. stepped between him and Severs and stabbed him to the iieart with a pocket-knife. The negro died in a verv few moments, and Baker, who had gone 10 his house near by, was arrested a short time afterwards for the murder, and was committed to jail. He h d a preliminary examination' before Justices Martin and Davidson, and was by them re-cmumiitod. He came into the Superior Court at the Spring term, an indictment haying been found by the Grand Jury, and was tried before His Honor Judge Logan. He was defended with signal ability by Messrs' 11. P Waring and J H and Geo E Wilson. Despite their efforts in his b-.-ha'f, he was found guilty of murder in he lirstde gree by a jury of twelve white men. The case was prosecuted by the D strict Attor ney, Col W P Bynum. Biker's counsel appealed to the Sup-erne Court, which tri bunal refused to prant a new trial to the convicted man. Accordingly, at the Fall Term of Superior C i art of Me.len'iurg county, 173, Judge Logan again presiding, he was again sentenced to death. Governor Caldwell has, however, twice stepped between the con leinne 1 man and respited him having twice granted hi in respites of two weeks each. A mother's love for a desnerately wick ed and wayward son was never more beau tifully shown than in this case. The old and ignorant mother of the murderer, caused a iwtition to be circulated asking His Exee'.lency the Governor to spare her on the ignominy of the scaffold and send lim to the Penitentiary for life. This pe tition was nuuierou-ly signed, and with this the jMjor old motheriuva nd the home of Governor Caldwell. He li -n ned to her plea, and respited her son two weeks from the 2nd of January, promising to .com mute the sentence if he couid rind any thing to justify him in Ukinj that step. Last. Friday night Gov Caldwell came tol Charlotte on a visit, and ai-uong his callers were the wife and mother of Jo Baker. The mother was particularly importunate, but notwithstanding her appeals, and not withstnidingithe factthar he was approach, ed on the subject by a delation compos ed of the most prominent gentlemen of t. e city, the Governor rein lined inexorabb , determined that the course of the law o the land sho lid not be stayed by h ;ii He disregarded all entreaties, an I wald not move a finger to save the life of B- kcr Still the p'Kjr man had hope. With each succwdingdavhewoulda.sk if "nothing had been heard from the Governor," an.r if th ws not vet hone for him. Thus, alternately hoping and fearing, minutes days ago, and asked to see Baker."

He had kn .joHiiitf liU hihlp :md nruvinsr durins most of the day, and had been prayed with by several ministers. Yet his mind was far from easy, and he told us at sundown that he had no hope that lie load experi enced a change ot heart or that his peace had been made with an offended Maker. The night he spent in courting "tired na ture's sweet restorer, balmy sleep;" but his rest was a slumber rather than a sleep, and he arose in the morning but little re- freshed by the quietude of the night. He al vTsitiatanearly hour by his wife, mother, brothers and' other relatives, and by Eev Messrs Carrawav, Griffith and Butt, the latter of whom stayed with him in his cell until the moment the Sheriff took him from it. During the early part of the day he seemed nervous and excited, but later became more quiet. He said that he had found peace and was resigned to his fate; that his soul had been washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb, an 1 that he was ready to meet the Great Judge, at whose tribunal all mankind wul one day stand. After a prayer by. Mr Butt, and a short time before the Sheriff came to carry him to the scaffold, Baker offered uf most fervent and jpitbetic CHARLOTTE N. C. SATURDAY.

A high fence hod been erected on aU sid 8Q Vlct from the pu)lic gaze. Crowds had J congregated around the jail door all the morning, and the negroes smiled Signin- cantly toeach other as the hour for the execution drew nearer and nearer. The fences iu all the vicinity were tilied with persons anxious to see the death of a fel low being Hy -hanging, and some had even gotten to the very te.i of the steeple, of Tryon Street M E Church, from which they could get a view of the jail yard. At about H P M, Baker, accompanied by Sheriff Alexander, Deputy ShcrifFiild- well, and others, came upon the scaffold' Baker wore a downcast look, but stepped out upon the scaffold with a firm and steady step. After ill the preliminaries had been arranged, Baker was asked if he wished to say anything. He replied : '"No, I believe not, much." He then asked that Mr Butt pray for him. That gentleman came forward, and kneeling down prayed earnestly for the soul of the man who was about to die. Baker was asked if lie would like to pray himself ; he said "yes," and knelt down upon the scaffold. His words were clear and ringing, and were distinctly heard by all those around. His utterance surjrised all who heard him. Though lacking polish, there was a deep earnestness and rough eloquence in the words he uttered. He prayed for the salva tion of his own soul, and for those pres ent, hoping that they would take warn ing by his example, and shun his way of life. With one accord the spectators un covered their heads and bowed in rever ence during the delivery of this prayer. His words came as from one from tliedia I and every sylable was eagerly caught by the crowd, over whom there had fallen a dead silence. At 1:30 o'clock, the prayers being over with. Deputy Sheriff Caldwell stepped for ward and 'drew the black cap over the face and head of the culprit. He then bade adieu to Sheriff Alexander. Deputy Sher iff Caldwell and Kev J F Bait, grasping each of them warmly by the hand. Afier this he received a short exhortation, from Capt Dixon.. At the end of this, Baker asked the Sheriff if he was not almost ready, and received iu reply, "yes." He thereupon straightened himself up and stood firm and erect. , Then the axe fell ; the ropewas severed; the platform dropped an 1 the soul of Jo seph Baker w.is launched out into the Great Unknown ! Baker's arms w-ere, of course, pinioned behind his back. He moved them con vulsively three or four times, and also contracted his knees once. Beyond these were no .truces, and he appeared to die with greater than ease. The drop was not two or two and a ha!f feet, but the man's neck was broken, and in a very short time life was extinct. The body was left hanging in the air for J1 minutes, at the end of which time it was cut down and-placed in the coffin which had been previously made for it, and given over to his relatives, who were waiting outside to receive it.

Alter the oisturoance began, Severs struck Wilfong two small deks in the head with an axe-nanaie, ana lorcea him out of the door; and according to. the statement of the evidence Baker's words I stepped in and cut him. No doubt what I did it, but I had no idea of killing him, Have not much doubt I did the deed, but did not intend it. I don't remember cut ting him; had no motiver It was the ex- eiteni ent I reckon.
