PARDoNING OF WALLAcE GEuR..


The bowels of our Governor have
again moved with mercy. Another
notorious cut-throat has been libera-
ted from further expiation of bis crimes
and sent abroad where his character
is not known, and where the officers
of the law will not be on the alert, to
commit anew his depredations on So
ciety. Wallace Gehr, the recipient
this time of executive clemencY, was
sentenced to the State Prison for
term of ten years, some two years
since, for highway robbery. The ey-
idence against him was of so damna-
bic character that many Of our citi-
zens were dissatisfied that hempen
cravat had not been furnished him at
public expesse, in lieu of ten years
board. His career showed him to be
conscienceless and utterly abandon
ed. But before the laws, which have
been outraged, had scarcely begun TO
be satisfied, Governor Weller steps in
between the seoundrel, and Judge.
jury and an abused community, and
sets him free. Why2 What reas.
ons are given for 80 astonishing step?
Why, Gehr has preferred to behave
himself tolerabIy well to being fogg-
ed in the prison, and Governor Well
er admires the wisdom of the choice
His parents in Pennsylvania begged
for his liberation, and Gov. Weller
couldn't endure their en:reaties
which is an advertisement to the
friends of every villain in the State
Prison to beg aud it shall be given
Gehr's parents have died and bis
presence is wanted to settle up the es-
tate These are the reasons, and
the last seems like self-inficted irony
or serious and sorry joke to those
who knew Gehr and his unprincipled
character. A notorious highway rob-
Der and the leader of a gang whose
objects were piunder sent home to set
tle.up an estate-to rob the honest
heirs-is a favor which might be
granted by Nero or Caligula with a
grim smile of vengean ce. just think
of a man whose actions show an utter
disregard of the rights of property
of Others being pardoned to see prop
erty properly disposed of And this
is the chief reason of Gehr's liberia
ton. IF good behavior were valid
excuse for the clemency of the Gov
ernor, we apprehend many criminal
might pleadit it ON the gallows. Let
it be known that the good behavior of
the condemned merits clemency and
we apprehend few will .expiate their
sentence. Sorrowing parents were
not regarded by the Governor, for
they were dead. The principal rea-
son which moved the Governor in
Gehr's case, seems to be therefore,
the proper settlement of that estate |!
Pardon us on this occasion if we quote
a snatch of that old campaign song ::
oh, John B. Weller,
YOU'RE h-n of feler.
Since the aboye was written, the
Sacramento papers make denial that
pardon has been granted. We fall
back upon the Grass Valley National,
for authority, and let the article go
as a warning to the Governor how
egregious an ass he would have been
had he pardoned Gehrfor the reasons.

That ApPornrmsNr.-Tbe selec.

tion of I'll. p. Haun for Senatorship is
another Wellerism. Itseems to be
a characteristic of the man to raise
public expectation to the high est
pitch to dash it in disappointment.
Holding off for months till every poll
itician in his party who can read,
write and cipher and had taken
drink with the Governor, began to
grow nervous In anticipation Of honors,
and after every regular Democrat of
talents above mediocrity had been
talked Of in connection with the Sem
atoriai vacancy, he strikes them all
aghast by the appointment of Judge
Haun of Yuba. Well may they be as
tonished and feel insulted too. It was
the duty of the Governor, as the Sac-
ramento Standard justly says, to Sc
lect the very best man for Senator in
the State. After scanning the quail
fcations Of Hoge. Washington, Bill
ings, Inge, and others, for weeks, the
Governor seems to say to all these:
Judge Haun, gentlemen. is an ADLER
and better man for United States Sen,
ator, than any of ye." Having thus
in the most pointed manner possible
shown his contemplate opinion of
these gentlemen, he may expect no
favors at their hands when the Leg
islature assemblies.
Governor Weller made the appoint
ment doubtless with an eye single to
his own aspirations. He set Henry
P. Haun down in the Senate to hold
seat till he imagined he could fill
It himself. 1t is a dirty bird that
fouls his own nest, as Governor Well
er has done. Who is Judge Haun :
Is he not that candidate for the State
Senate who would have dishonored
California he now represents in the
highest councils of the nation, by re-
pudiation Did he not in 1856 take
the position of a repudiator, and ADJ
vocate an abnegation Of our State
debt, thereby counting lasting dis
orr, oo 4. fbse xoooxx-oal4I n Tc 49,,
memory be correct Judge Haun did
take this position before the people
of Yuba in 1856 when a candidate for
the State Senate. Such is also the
recollection of some with whom we
have conyersed on the subject. We
leave the people whose high sense of
honor caused them to spurn the re-
pudiation proposed by Judge Haun,
to obtain all the consolation they can
from the appointment, and Governor
Weller to cut his own throat still
deeper, like hog afoat.
There is something refreshing in
the innocent way the disappointment is
spoken of by our cotemporaries.-
They tell rs Judge Haun has not yet
signifed his acceptance +! Probably
they are not aware that the new Sem
ator carried about petition himself
to obtain signatures, asking the Gov
ernor to appoint him, yet such we
are informed is the fact.

HEAVY Loss By FIRE.-An immense Steam
Mechanical Bakery in Boston was found to
be on fire about 2 o'clock, Sunday morning,
and spite of all efforts was consumed with
most OF its contents. The building, situated
on Commercial ST., opposite the Peoples
Ferry, was six stories high, was quite new,
and it had in it nearly 90 900 barrels of flour
The loss by the destruction was about $780,
900. There was large amount of insur-
ance. Several other buildings were destroy
ed by the fire or by the fall OF the ponderous
walls of the main building. One man was
killed and several wounded. From all ac-
counts there is no doubt that the fire was
the work of incendiarles.
According to the accounts in the Boston pa
pers, the Watchdog Of the establishment was
stolen on Friday, and on Saturday the key
to the outside door to the Bakery was stolen.
a quantity of powder was placed among the
coal on Friday, with the view, as is supposed,
to cause an explosion. Fortunately, when
the coal was placed into the furnace, it did
little damage except to harm the fireman,
who has been confined to his house since.
From certain movements, Mr.. Russell had
reason to anticipate injury from interested
quarters, and went over the establishment as
late as one o'clock to see if everything was
safe. Two ofhis men were left at work in the
basement These men aver that they knew
nothing of the fire until the alarm, when the
fire was discovered in the fourth story of the
building. A person who lived in one of the
houses destroyed states that about half-past
one O'Clock yesterday morning two men were
seen hurrying away from the rear part OF
the building, and that at ten minutes past
two O'Clock he saw the fire in three or four
places,

MR MoRRILL's LAND BiLL.-The passage
By the Senate of Mr.. Morrill's bill, appropri-
ating lands at the rate of $4,000 acres to
each Member Of Congress, is thought to make
its enactment pretty sure-so far as Congress
goes. An Executive Veto is ioreboded, how
ever. The fact that all the votes in the SEN
ate for it, except three or four, were given by
Republicans, and that all the votes against it
were from Democrats, gives plausibility to
the report of a Veto in prospect.
