Naval.-The United States steam frigate Sara
nae, Captain ]. e. Long, made her trial trip on
Wednesday, as we stated yesterday. She left her
mornings at IL o'clock, in a most beautiful and
majestic manner, and glided down the bay, for the
purpose of trying her machinery, which worked
very well in every particular, having been thor
oughly and carefully repaired, in view Of her trip
10 the Ottoman empire.
After reaching the light boat OF Fortress Mum
roe, she returned in the same manner as she had
left, and arrived at the anchorage off the hospital
al o'clock. having been absent only four hours,
and accomplished thirty-six miles. AT least one
hour Of that time was lost in fogs and running
slow.
The Saranac is one Of the finest looking vessels
in the world She has an excellent set Of officers
and orderly crew, which, together with her
performances in sailing line, lead us TO expect TO
hear wonders from her wherever they go, Our
navy may well be proud OF her.

Pardon by the GOVERNOR We learn that, on
the 9Th instant, the governor granted pardon 10
Mary Coleman, one of the only two white women
now confined in the penteniary, who was con-
victed in 1914, in the Baltimore city court on nine
indictments for larceny, and sentenced for an ag-
gregate term Of fourteen years, more than nine OF
which she has now served The pardon was
granted upon the recommendation of large num-
Der of highly respectable and charitable ladies OF
the Society of Friends" who in the habit OF
visiting the penitentiary upon mercifui missonsof
comfort and instruction TO The unfortunate female
convicts. The number Of indictments in this case
was not for so many separate crimes, but for TAX
ing so many separate and distinct pieces Of pro-
perry which happened to belong TO many individ-
uals and which, according to the technicaiites of
law, required each a separate indictment. The
grounds alleged by the petitioners for the pardon
were good conduct, debiltated health, and sufiici-
ency Of punishment.-Bah. SIM.
