lutereedius for O'Doaatll,
Washington, Dec. S. — The members
who are representatives and proiniuent
citizets called on the President to-day.
He granted them an audience in the
cabinet roem, Cox and Robinson, of New
York, Morrison, Spiiog;er and Finerty,
of Uiiuois, General Lefevre aad Feran,
of Ohio, JHurpliy, of Iowa, Jklaberry, of

devet-U to introductions to the
Presid-nt, lie irtily shaking hands with
each gentleman ;;n l so:ne in ercli .nge tf
joking remarks on the political status of
the caller, all being democrats, Cox gaid :
'Mr. President, these score of gentle-
men come to speak to yob in behah' of
Patrick O'Denae:!, a citizin of the United
States. He has just been summarily tried
and senu need to be executed en the
seventeenth instant. We do not come as
lawyers to criticize tl;e procedures un-
der which he was con victed, nor do we
ask the sentence to be set aside, because
he towk the life of an informer, the exe-
cration of mankind and the odium ot
history. We simply ask a postponemeat
of the execution, if your intei ventien as
•ur chief magistrate can effect it, but as
the cause is general and sentiment of the
people we represent, we may be allowed
to say that certain facts produced abroad
and deep-seated sympathy. These facts
are that the killing was net murder, not
malice prepense. 'Ihe deliberate ele-
ments of murder are lacking in the
case.
