Gov. Baker and the Halplue Pardon:

Gov BAKER and the Eaipiue PaFdOTs
In the Halpine case the prisoner
was brought into Court and tried in
a condition, as acknowledged by all
who saw him, of absolute idiocy. He
was utterly unconscious that he was
being tried. twas proved that when
arrested, two days after the murder,
he was frenzied with deliTiHn1 tremeHs,
the worst form, perhaps, of madness.
He was convicted by the jury Of man
slaughter, and sentenced TO ten years
in the penitentiary. The jury and
the court united in recommendation
of pardon to Gov. Baker of the de-
mented culpT1t. These are the facts
of the case IN brief.
/ Gov. Baker has issued to Halpine
q conditional pardon. A lunacy COM
mission is appointed to examine the
| prisoner, (now IN the penitentiaTy),
and if found to be insane he is to be
sent to the State Insane Asylum.
| Otherwise to serve out the ten year 8
sentence Of the jury in the peniten-
tiary.
No one doubts phe result of the
| lunacy inquisition; and no one, we
! presume, will doubt the pr0priety of
1 the course Of Governor Baker Ia
the premises. We imagine, however,
that all who heard the evidence in
the Cranes and Morton cases, and in
the case of the poor lunatic Halpine,
will agree with the Indianapolis Mr.
2'5r that the Governor conditional
pardon is incomplete. 1t should GER
tainly have provided that if Halpine
was found insane by the Inquisition
then the jury that convicted him
should serve out his sentence in the
penitentiary; but if found sane, then
the jury to be semi to the Insane
Asylum.-Nea0 Albany Commercial

From the New York SUM-

From the New York SUM-
Mr.. Brady, of the Stamping De-
partment in the New York Post Office,
has shown US two specimens of the
counterfeit $40 bills which have Gre
ated so great an excitement among
bankers and United States Treasurers.
The bills are certainly the. finest ex-
ecueed counteTfeits eyer. thrown upon
the New York market At first
glance they seem to be a perfect i'm
itation Of the SO greenback, and the
printing seems to have been done
from the original plate. But Mr..
Brady has discovered points invalu-
able to those handling money. The
folding of the counterfeit and the
matching of the ends, as described by
the Sans Washington correspondence
is no gauge of genuin!eness. The
borders of the counterfehs match as
well as the borders of the original
paper. The engraving of the border
IS just as good, If not better, than the
engraving on the genuine notes.
In the original the shading around
the 10 in the medallion appears like
fine network, and runs close up
to the figures. In the counterfeit
note the shading is picked up,
and becomes coarse as it reaches the
figures, forming a light streak or a
circular haze similar to that about
the moon before rain. There is no
haze in the genuine note. This Is a
slight point for detection. a clearer
one is the fact chat in the original
notes, within the light circle running
under the figures TO, therel are
three and a third dots on the left of
the figure l. In the counterfeit bill
the one third dot is missing. The
following diagrams will explain the
difference:

WHEAT CRoP.-The accounts from
all sections of the State and the South
represent the growing wheat as promis-
ing bountiful yield when harvested.
When we reflect that the great bulk Of
our surplus will! have to seek a market
abroad, where they are accustomed to
reject as prime all samples in which
either cookie, cheat or rye is found, no
matter how fine the grain, the impor-
lance of having the crop as free from
impurities as possible, cannot be over
estimated. Next season there will,
doubtless, be great demand for seed
wheat, and if our farmers consult their
own interests, they will, as far as posi-
BILE, pull up, before the crop is too far
advanced, the cookie, cheat, rye and
other impurities that cannot be separat-
ed after harvesting. 1t is conceded that
the quality of our wheat in Virginia is
as good as grows anywhere. Then let
our farmers see to it, that the order is
such as to make it command the highest
prices in New York or Liverpool, for by
so doing they put m oney in their pook-
cts.

Go To WoRK.-Young men go to
work. Why stand you idle all the day?
1t is not because you cannot obtain
work-there is plenty to do. The cause
must either be idleness or exactness as
to price--perhaps devotion to some
preconceived notion of peculiar calling.
Those of you who have capital to begin
with may find profitable employment
for your time and money in developing
the immense resources OF our State Go
erect cotton and wooden mills, iron
foundries, agricultural implements, &c.
Those of you who have not the money
to do these things, go, work our mines,
cultivate our lands, and build our new
railroads. By SO doing you will impart
health, vigor, and activity to yourselves
and to enterprise Of every useful kind
Go to work-it is waiting for you at
every turn. The arena is open 10 you
and the strife is going on; the victor's
shout is ringing all around you in the
echoiug strokes of busy hammers on re-
spondent anvils, the hum OF busy wheels,
the rustic of growing crops; and your
place is there, your victory is there, if
you will only bare your arm, catch hold,
and go to work with will. Remem-
Der where there is will there is a way.
Go to work.
