to the necessity OF making an appropriation to
meet the awards. The amounts allowed and
the names of the persons to whom they are
awarded will be found in the Gazette else
where. The House resumed consideration OF

man named Daniels imprisoned there
on conviction of manslaughter, whose
friends petitioned the Governor for
his reprieve, whcreupon the Governor
pardoned him. 1t is now asserted
that Gov. Meagber has not the par
doaing power; that only the Presi>
dent of the United States can exer-
else it in the Territories also, that
the man Daniels was entirely un.
worthy of clemeney. Let these as
sertions be as they may, tho worst
feature of the affair is that Daniels
had not. been released over twenty
four hours when his lifeIess body
was found suspended to u tree; sup
posed to be the work of vigiantes.
