EDWARD IiieGrSs. An Augusta CORES.
pendent says:
The case of Edward Higgins, . convict in
the State Prison, was before the Governor
and Council. on the 18th ul,.. and il Is un.
dersioOd, has been disposed OF in such u
manner that the question Of pardon has
been put forever at rest.
I, appears ths. Higgins. by his 'hrewd.
ness. was 50 well prepared. that when
he presented bis case he gained considerable
sympathy, aud a.srs, his chances for par
don looked very fair. But his petition was
opposed by the Co. Attorney Of Oxford, who
was familiar with Ned's history, and after
examining the case fully. the Governor and
Council came TO the conclusion that the 20
toner should no, be pardoned.
Ned stands we'll in prison. II Is ,aid. and
US his reputation seems to be bad every.
where else. the decision Of the Executive was
right. Of course. The people II Oxford
County owe much to their County Attorney
for this result.

Of soldiers. which ~e cannot end room for

construction which some persons are d'--
posed to give the Act; and deprcca,es the
idea that the State intended TO have such
persons considered rs pauPers, or thar the
legislative will break its faith by refusing TO
refund to the towns the amounts raid for
such purposes. I, has been the policy Of
the government TO assure the soldier in needy
circumstances that be might obey the call
for volunteers, without far that hI. family
would come to want, By bis absence. Un-
der this assurance men have entered the
service. and are now in arms. in defence Of
the Constitution, and our very National eI.
i.tenee. To such We owe deb, no, easily

assured the towns shall be REFUNDED 90 them
