From "ashingtOn-The Presidents Par.
dom OF Siebert-Other Ca.es-Gen Rey-
nOlds' Course in Texas.
WASHINGTON, November 1.-Reference
has been made in the newspapers to the
pardon Of John A. Siebert, convicted al
the last January term of the .. S. Dis.
trlct Court OF the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania of violation of internal reve-
nue. laws, and sentenced to pay fine of
three thousand dollars, and to be i'm
prisoned nine months. Complaint is made
that in this case the President pardoned a
violator of the internal revenue laws. In
this, as in all applications for pardon, the
Executive acts upon the recommendation
of respectable and generally influential
citizens of the community in which the
offence was committed.
Besides this, papers are always referred
to the Attorney General for examination
and report, and pardons are rarely, if ever
granted, when that officer reports unfavor-
ably upon the petition. In Sieberts case,
Mr.. Evarts, Attorney General, reported in
favor of granting the pardon, and it was
recommended by District Attorney Gilpin,
nearly all the Jurors who convicted the
prisoner, forty-fve members of the Penn
sylvania Legislature, and q large number
of the best citizens of Pennsylvania.
4 rumor that the President has made
known his intention of Removing General
Reynolds because of his order forbidding
the election for President in Texas has
gained circulation. The President has not
made known any such purpose, though it
is quite probable that Reynolds will be re-
lieVed of his command, moro particularly
on account of his last order, interfering
with the decision of civil court in case
involving question of heirship to real
estate.
No other military commander has ever
assumed such authority as Reynolds has
taken upon himself in the case of the heirs

Experiment in Prussia.
letter from Berlin says THE success,
which attended the experiments Of las
summer has induced the PrusSian govern
ment to employ large blocks Of hard cast
metal for the purposes Of fortitication.-
\ foundry has been established with this
object on the artillery experimental ground,
by which arrangement il is not necessary
to move its pondrous productions any
very great distance, whenever it is thought
advisable to give Mr.. Krupp an oppor-
tunity of knocking them to pieces, Or en-
deavoring to DO SO. a colossal casting,
weighing ninety tons, was made there last
Friday, IN the presence Of the Minister Of
War, and numerous military and naval of
ticers. andis unquestionably by far the
greatest that has ever been attempted on
the Continent. What is considered still
moro remarkable than the size of the cas-
ing was the very short time required for
the process. Tho metal was melted in
three large furnaces in the short space Of
three hours, but the actual casting was
completed in forty-fve seconds.
The report adds, by way Of comparison,
that the casting of a steam hammer weigh
ing one hundred tons required in England
forty-eight hours.
"a hydraulic crane is used for moving
these large masses, and does its work SO
easily that a shield weighing forty tons
has been moved several hundred yards
and placed on the framework intended to
receive it in half an hour. The plates are
not fastened together by bolts Or screws,
but cast In such shape as to dovetail III
to each other. 1t is intended to employ
d combination OF iron, eGrthWork ard
masonry in the new fonts, and to adont

fences first, as they arc exposed to the
heaviest fire.
''The Woolwich gun, which has been
competing at Berlin with Mr.. Krupps,
has shown deep crack after the two
hundred and sixty-fourth round, whereas
Krupp's gun has remained unscathed af
ter four hundred rounds, and his friends
are Of course jubilant. On the other
hand, an English seven-inch plate, thr,
inches of steel on four inches of iron,
from the Cyclops y rks, Sheffield, was
too much for hrupp's ninety-six FOUNDER,
at least only the point of the shot came
through. It has been stated since that
only reduced charge of powder was used
on this occasion. The same projectile,
however. and with similar reduced
charge, had knocked an ei8htinch plate
of Austrian manufacture all to pieces

The closing ceremonies of the Episcopal
Convention were performed last evening
at Calvary Church, and were very impress
sive in their character.
The Pastoral Letter of the Presiding
Bishop, after touchingly abiding to the
venerable members who have departed
this life during the past nine years, dis
cusses the various points which came up
before the Convention, and urges renewed
exertions on the part of pastors aud focks
il the great work of disseminating the
gospel of Christ. On the subject of rltu-
alism it's tone is very moderate and conser-
vative. 1t contains, among much other
interesting matter, q decided protest
against the present rage of what is termed
by the press the "iIlegitimate drama"
and says that its tendency is to create p
distaste for pure, simple, domestic pleas
ures and innocent enjoyments. and espe-
cially for the stern duties and elevated
sympathies Of holy life. The concluding
portion Of the paragraph on this ubject is
as follows But, in our day, there is a
RIGHTEOUSNESS and grossness in theatrical
been shocking to even the least refined in
the days Of our fathers. We exhort you
to flee these things, and above all to sep
arate from all contact with these pollutions
the young and precious souls for whom
you have answered in the Holy Baptism.
At the conclusion of the pastoral letter,
the benediction was pronounced by the
Right Rev. Bishop OF Minnesota, and the
assemblage dispersed. IN. Y. Commercial,

Gen. Blair on VSrCinfS,

In speech delivered at Tammany Hall
last week, Gen. Blair thus alluded to Vir.
ginia:
"There is one point to which would
draw the attention of my fellow-citizens,
here especially. Tho old State of Virginia,
the mother who has given to the Republic
SO many of its great and exalted and illus
trious statesmen, who has given its most
exalted President, this state is now ex-
cluded from voting for President of the
United States-excluded by Congressional
act, and denied the privilege of voting for
another citizen of this country as President
of the United States, and simply because
she refused to degrade herself-refused
to humble herself at the feet of her own
slaves
A VOICE. hope she never will.
| General Blair-I hope so too. IAp-
plause. This noble old State, whose son,
Mr.. Jefferson, wrote the Declaration of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS whose other
greater son, George Washington, vindi-
Gated that declaration whose sons, Pat
rick Henry and Richard III. Lee inspired to
fight the battles of the revolution, and at
the end of the revolution donated to the
government (then weak and feeble con-
federacy) that wide and broad domain at
the West, known as the Northwestern ter.
ritory, gave it to our country to pay It's
7bt to the soldiers who fought and won
the war of independence. Applause.
And my fellow-citizens, not only did the
State OF Virginia give the vast en-
pire, now peopled with 10000, 600 OF
white people, and constituting six
largo and magnificent Sates-not
which 50 many furnishing cities are
now built, but she also authorized her son,
Thomas Jefferson, to give with the soil
the ordinance of 1887, with clause in it
dedicating it to white men and freemen
applause)-guar6ing the North
west and young empires that their fore
sight told them would rise in that country
guarding them from that cankeT that
was gnawing at her vitals. And now that
these young States have grown into en-
pires, containing ten million of white peO-
pie, what do we see ? Their Senators and
Representatives turning uron the old
State, whose bounty gave them all that
made their prosperity, wealth, and their
power; turning upon the children AMI
descendants of those whose foresight
guarded them against the evil and curses
of negro slavery turning upon her and
enslaving the children of Virginia upon
her own soil. in repayment of her noble
bounty to the young republic and to the
great Northwest. 1t is to me as if children
had turned upon and were Strengthening
their mother. 1t is paracide act-an act
against which the world will rise up and
cry shame. L do not believe that in the
history of politics, in the history of nations
anything equal In ingratitude to that has
ever been known-that these men should
now be enslaved by those who were made
what they are by the bounty of old Virgil
MIA that the sons of Virginia on her soil
should be asked and compelled to take tho
chains which they have stripped from the
limbs of the negro. and to allow these
negroes to lord it over them at THEN
homes, at their birthplaces, besides the
graves of Washington and Jefferson
