We will give one more extract. from q let
ter Of Judge CHfNow I'll, aud proceed 70
close. Wewill make no other remarks in re-
gard to Judge c., than to express our deep
regret that he should have given so false
| iproJ0lh from want Of iniormaton) an
account OF the condition of affairs, and that
he shonld have related incidents that have
no foundation in truth. His " one Miller F"
is the able and universally respected Quar-
termaster and Commissary General MILLER
and the conversation which he alleges Gen.
MILLER bad with the executive, as regards
becoming the bearer of pardon, is nothing
but the work of the imagination. We
assert that it nerer occurred, and that the
"marshal" never obtained it as Stated in
the Judges letter to the Secretary. The
marshal nally eoatradiets the statement,
anil are can make good our assertion. The
Judge is therefore mistaken. We have
also good reason to believe that his ale
cation abont the respite of Col. SHAW is
likewise unfoundcd, and that he has been
led to make these statements from idle
rumors, rife at those times:
So az have since learned that Governor
Stevens had promised Gel. Shaw a respite for Al aud
all convictions that might be had against him for
obedience to his orders and that the respite was pre-
pared, and one Miller. now qualtenGa,ter under
Stevens and plain Gfihaud man. called upon 10
serve it upon and demand the release of Col
Shaw. Miller said to the Governor: You can't do
that your rardonnr power don't go to offences of
this kind. saw il tried in Iowa On learning this,
the Governor reconsdeicd the matter, and sent the
letter above referred to- This l learned hom the
MARSHAL and believe to he true -
Before quitting the subject, TO which we
may again refer at some future day, We
would likewise inform our readers that the
special message of the President to the
Senate of the United States also contains
an effuson of Mr.. Ewood Evans, in which
he bewals his sad fate in being forcibly
made and retained as prisoner, for no
o'her offence than being engaged in the
faithful discharge Of his duties as deputy
clerk Of the district court--an event which
he was well aware loouid occur, and posi-
tion which he was but too happy in occu-
pying. The foolish, childish, vanity of this
man to sec his name in connection with
public affairs, would not have permitted
him to let such golden opportunity pass
without bringing his name before the
people. Actuated by no other motives,
and without any further ambition than to
have it known that Elwood Evans, Esq,
attorney-at-aw, has an existence, and
resides at Olympia-to have this known,
we say, will satisfy the cravings of his
foolish pride. We will therefore tickie that
vanity, and inform our readers that such a
man does reside here-that he practices at
law whenever matters are entrusted to him
by clients, for fee ). and that he tenders
general advice for nothing. Were we Of
the belief that the letter referred to
amounted to anything, we should give it
publicity, but as it contains nothing, we
will pass it by in silence. We are coident
of this fact, that whether Gov Stevens has
been removed ere this or not, or whether
he be removed hereafter, the wishy-washy
affair Of Mr.. L. will have had but little
weight on the mind of the President in
making the same.
