PAnpoSRp-Auguste HeisIer, who was con.
victed in August, 1883 Of manslaug hter, in kill
Ing Msrcellus Stops, and OF robbing man on
Fourteenth street, and was sentenced TO the Peni-
tsntiary for eight wears for the first offsnse and
sewn years for the second, was few days since
pardoned by the President. The following IL a
copy Of the pardon:
To al! f0Hho1 these presents shall come, greeting:
whereas IL appears that In August, 1858, in the
Criminal Court Of the District Of Columbia, one
Auguste Heis.er, under indictment for murder,
was convicted Of manslaug hter, and by said court
sentenced to the Penitentiary Of said District for
q term Of eight years; and In the same month and
court was also convicted for robbery, and received
q further sentence Of imprisonment for the term
OF seven years;
And whereas a careful examination Of these
cases renders II apparent that the evidence against
said Augusts HeisleT was of contradictory and
conflicting nature; that the chief witness against
him was a notorious bad man who has since been
convicted Of an Infamous crime, and 10 u thus
highly probable that the jury, misled by false
testimony, gave an imProvident verdict in either
case:
IN
ready suffered four years Of Imprisonment, during
which time he has conducted himself In an eIem-
plsry manner:
Now therefore, be IL known that /, Abraham
Lincoln, President Of the United States Of Amer
lea, In consideration Of the premises divers other
good and sufficient reasons me thereunto moving,
have granted and do hereby grant unto him, the
said Auguste Hester, a full and unconditional
pardon.
ia testimony whereof, have hereunto signed
my name, and caused the seal Of the United states
Done at the city of Wellington, this fourteenth
day OF April, 1862 and OF the Independence Of the
United States the eighty nth.
By the President:

SuIsAScEs.-The Corporation Law In reference
70 filing the cutters with slops, and casting 9th
and foul water therein 10 being set at perfect de-
esnce. In many parts Of the city the cutters are
perfect wallowing pools for swine. Are our Gill
Iens aware that there is q law on the subject and
