Letter to tie Editor gftle q. S. Gazette,
dated WASHINGTON, Aug. is 1929.
Dear SRI perceive a statement IN
one of the Philadelphia papers, that the
members Of the administration will proba-
bly, influence Gen. Jackson to pardon DR..
Watkins. Perhaps 1t may not be IN his
power to remit the fine, and as the lmprls-
oment, it IS whispered abroad that Dr.
Watkins has said he would not except a
pardon, because, by such acceptance, he
would be acknowledging the Justice of a
sentence which he declares to be harsh and
unjust. | do not know whether this
statement be authentic. It is common ru-
NOR; and such only send to you. There
is another report in circulation, in con
necton with this case. It Is SAID that Mr..
Coke Is ofthe opinion that the proceedings
may be adjuged to be informal and un-
sustainable, If the case could be carried
up to the Supreme Court: and that it may
be earned thiher by motion for a writ
of Habeas Corpus, on the GROUND that the
court have acted without jurisdiction, and
that tho absence OF such jurisdiction IS on
the face ofthe proceedings. do not know
whether the course thus Indicated will be
taken Or not, but the idea itself should It
even prove visionary, has opened a door
by which hope is again admitted, into the
bosom Of DR.. Watkins.
Very serious apprehensions respecting
the health of Gen. Jackson has recently
taken possession Of the breasts OF some Of
his friends. Il Is deemed necessary that
he should take horse exercise before break
fast and to thus he has such a powerful
repugnance. that nothing but force can
drive him to it, Major Eaton, under
stand. feels so much alarm, that he has de-
termiued, rather than this exercise should
be abandoned, to accompany the General
himself in regular morning rides. The
General, by means of cuppng physlclng,
has however been subsequently so far rem
ovated- as to induce his friends to hope
that trlp to Old Point Comfort, and IA
spiourn there for a short time viii be OF
e.lectual servlce--provided always that
the ever increasing class Of men who come
To- Washington, ln quest of rewards Of their
eIectioneerlng efforts shall not be tempted
to follow the General to Norfolk. The
expense Of the trip may operate IN some
degree as an impedlment; for 1t IS proba-
BILE that nine tenths of the office hunters
errant do not carry with them any super
abundance Of that commodity which is CIV
en- IN exchange for meat, drink, clothing
md comforts and convenience, but lest
this should not be sufficient, the Richmond
Enquirer has thrown out pathetic depre-
cation upon the subject in the form of d
hope that he may be permitted to perform
his exercises and additions and TO lnhale
the saline inspirations without being a glta
ted and terrified by the forms Of his hungry,
ragged, woeworn, and wornout partzans
shooting across his path every direction.
Il was understood that Gen. Jackson
would leave the city to day. Ipresume he
has gone.
The members Ofthe administration have
perhaps much reason to fear lest Gen.
jackson should becut off before the coGsh-
tutional close of his term Of President.
Mr.. lngham, presume, is the only one
Invertebrates with any confidence on re
naming in power, in case of such a con
tingency. State, War and Navy, each Of
these departments would be decapltated
with Just as little ceremony, as an old Vi
zier frequently is on the elevation ola new
Sultan.-All would have to mourn their
severed heads; but none would mourn
with so much sincerity of grief as the Ma
w Department, under whose illusrlOuS
caput we have been told by certain editors
that such glorious things are to be done for
our navy. The course of the Secretary
of this branch Of the government, offers Us
new practical translation of the Otlum
cum dignitate, for there can be no question
that he has the dignity, and they who have
any business with the department can ties
tify that he enjoys it after the most approx
ed fashion Of Incidence. In the deep con,
cavity of his official chair he chews the
cud of reflection from the opening to the
closing hour otpublic business. He rumr
mates aud cogitates mere than all the Secrt
taries who have gone before him, ergo, he
