 DEsHA-We understand, says the Kentucky Re- pubcan that Gov. Desha has pardoned his son, Isaac. The power to grant pardon beOle conviction, though questionable, has been repeatedly asserted and other states. The whole of the late term of Harr- son Circuit Court devoted to this case. Nine ju- TOTS only obtained the last day.-the prisoner having exercised to the extent of the law, the priy lige of peremptory challenge. The Judge refused to renew the recognzances of the sures again libcr ate the prisoner bail in consequence we presume of the state of his health not requiring such indulgence. The Governor being present when the Judge enand- ed his Isaac to the ai addressed the people in speech of considerable length and concluded by re- versng the order of the Court and setting his son at liberty We are not informed of any form observed by his Excellency, except the speech, in which it said, he treated the Court with great indignity.
 GEORGIA LAND LoTTERY-The drawing of the Georgia Land Lottery was finished on the 25th nit. By this lottery, tweniythree thousand lots of Iand of two huudSed and two and half acres each, compos- ing five counties, have been distributed among the inhabitants of that State. Had the land been retained by the State, as fund for public purposes and sold at dollar and quarter per. acre, the minimum prico at which United States lands sold it would have produced the sum of $5,S9l 1875.
 PENNINGTON CANAL.-Fram an official statement of MT. Hlhouse the superintendent, it appears that thirty miles of this cana including the feeder is com pieted, and the final estimates paid-fauTteen miles nearly finished, and will probably be completed in three four weeks-and that the remaining four teen miles the work is rapidly progressing, and more than halfthe excavation and the embarkment is ai- ready done.

the Grand Jury Of Washington for the murder
of the lamented MARTIN, took place hereby

ed by the jury in less than ten minutes after
they left their seats. The criminal, whois said
TO be serenty-three years of age, was ingeniously
and ably defended by counsel; but the evidence
Of his guilt was so clear, and the act itself SO
wanton and atrocious, that the ingenuity and
eloquencs OF the whole society of "Learned
Friends" could have ayailed him nothing
He now stands upon the awful brink OF E'er-
nifty, sustained by the fain, hope OF Executive
clemency Should that prove deluslve, as 1t
probably will, his grey hairs, as SO MANY bea-
cons, must mark the numerous paths that.le
TO crime and ignominious death.

counter OF the above bank, with sl7,e42 Of
It's bills They were taken at his o~n
count and paid immediately IN the reat y"
June 26, the agent Ie-appeared with sl9,-
075. Finding this would not do, July I'D,
he presented s2l ,42o, and August 18th,
26,2 ,232l Still the specie held out, ano the
Suffolk agent could not'find delay enough
in the payment, to apologize for picking the
least quarrel with the Cashier, VII, Is as
pleasant and as handy fellow TO count out
specie as one would wish to see.
On the 10Th OF September, instant, he a.
gent again appeared, SO fond is he fing-
erng the specie in the vaults Of this bank.
The Sie,o2l he then presented, were paid
"as easy as bite your nail," and he retired
as usual. But this time there was little
ruse in reserve, and on the second day af
ter, without having returned TO "her lmpe
Iia Majesty, the Empress Of all" the coun-
try banks, he 'Just steps In" not wishing to
ntrude, with e2,706, by way of neat SUR
prise. Thus, however, would not co, and
the vault was found TO jingle as prompt as
eyer.-Thus in the space Of three months
and half, a bank with S75,0OO capital,
has redeemed its own bills in specie; to the
amount of Sl06 l0i! There are, probably,
but few banks in the United States, that
could stand such a run, and especially hold
cut in wind like this bank, which is now as
ready to meet the Suffolk as it ever has
been.
We do not pretend to know much about
the effect OF the allied banking system, up
on circulation, and so far as 1t fairly tests
the stability Of banks that are inclined 10
overstep their means, and keeps up whole
some circulation, il is to be approved. But
if the object is by resorting TO petty tricks
to make other banks give up their own in
dependence, or their honest profits, and In
fact pay tribute to the Suffolk, ii is plan
unworthy honorable merchants, and ought
to be dlscountenanced. Suppose a compa-
ny of merchants of immense capital, should
resort to these kind of tricks, buying up
paper and breaking upon other merchants
Of less capital, and pretend they were do
ing il for the good of tho public, to keep
doubtful notes out Of the market, and test
the credit the merchants they were run
ming and suppose they stopped buying up
the paper OF any merchant, who would a
gree to pay them one quarter per cent. up,
on all hls commissions : Would this be
considered honorable and fair dealing
We are somewhat at loss TO see why the
parallel does not hold il the conduct OF the
Boston Allies toward the country banks.
But We do not pretend to be fnanclers.

Our readers will recollcct that at the pres

advocate in favor of General Jackson's eleva-
tion TO the Presidency and we will not un.
dertake to say that that gentleman does not,
honestly prefer General jackson TO Mr.. Ad-
ans but, If Jackson, nOio has the decided
preference of the ingenious editor of the En-.

reconcile the grounds upon which that prefer
eucc is predcNted, with the opinion mr.. No

The New.York Enquirer says, "Tfwe

falsehoods ofthe Adams presses, we might

physical and intellectual pursuit" Some
thing depends, perhaps, on the habits of
the man. One man takes whole life 10

not time to do any hing. This is probably
the case with Major Noah. Bot heaven
