The Gamble Pardon.

The democrats have made desperate eff
forts to make capital out of the Gamble
pardon case, but have ingloriously failed'
and have turned their attention elsewhere
To be brief, the charge is that Gov. FAIR
child conspired TO release from prison by
pardon, one Gamble, convicted for the
murde. Of his wife, in order that E. w
Reyes, lawyer, might receive fee Of
81 900.
1t appears that an application for Gam
ble's pardon was made some months be.
fore by Mr. Williams, and for good rea
ton beng made, it was granted.
Gov. FairchId, in speech at Oshkosh
touched on this matter, and in the course
Of his remarks said al03
.a" L never heard E.. W. Reyes name
mentioned in connection with this petition,
until heard 1t some days after the issue
of the pardon in connection with these
charges lie never spoke to me directly
or Indirectly on the subject, and L never
knew that he was an attorney for Gamble.
No man ever asked me to grant that par
don as "A personal favor. Nor did any per-
son ever request me to grant any pardon
as personal favor No man who knows
me will ever dare to. never knew the
circumstances in the case as reported by
the papers. until days after the pardon
was ISSUED, and now only know them by
newspaper re ort. | never heard of a fee
of any amount being paid to any .erson :
had no knowledge OF any such transaction.
The pardon was justly due to the man, and
was granted upon the merits of the case,
as shown by the papers on file in the Elk
ecutive office. My action would have oeen
the same had Mr.. Williams, the original
attorney, made the last request for me to
hook over the case with the additional pa
pers then put on file. court the fullest
investigation of the case"
In the Governors report to the Senate
in 1868, in speaking of this pardon he
says:
"This petition was heretofore refused,
because, in my opinion, the prisoner had
not oecu Satuciettiy puHiSheu toi tne CTiihc
of manslaughter in the second degree, of
which he is contesscdly guilty. The dis
trirt attorney who conducted the prosecu-
ton, states in HIS recommendation for par
don, flied IN this office dug. II, 1868. that
the evidence all tended to rebut the idea
of prelneditated design, and that he, the
attorney, always felt that Gamble was
the greatest sufferer, and that he felt the
loss OF his wife deeply, and regretted the
fatal act with real penitence." All these
representations, and careful review of
the testimony, rendered it quite certain to
my mind that the prisoner was guilty only
of manslaughter in the second degree, and
that, he having undergone the usual pen
atty for that offence, the proper time had
come for his release"

A WORD OF ADVICE TO THE GEoRGIANs.
We learn that the conservatives of Georgia
are very much excited over the new recon-
struction law passed by Congress and APP
proved by the President Tor the benefit Of
Georgia, aud that there is some reason to
apprehend that Governor Bullock has placed
bis life 10 danger by his labors at Washington
In behalf Of this measure. II, however, parti-
san vengeance should take the horrid form
of assassination against Governor Bullock, the
consequences will not soon be forgotten by
the Georgians. Their only course is submis-
sion TO the laws and the acceptance OF the
terms OF restoration laid down 10 them by Con-
gress. Further resistance is worse than
useless, and any manifestations Of violence
against the constituted authorities will surely
DO put down. II the conservative party OF
Georgia would act wisely they will seek
rather to repress than to encourage or wink
at any measures Of violence against any indl-
viduai representing or upolding the laws or
tho established authorities over the State,

Whatever might have been thought Of This
movement in the start, there is now little room
to doubt that the settlers of the Red River
region are seriously determined to resist to
the bitter end the assumption of authority
attempted TO be exercised over them by the
Dominion government People laughed at the
Idea of handful of halfbreeds fnging down
the gauntlet of defiance to Power like
Canada, backed by its burly patron, England !;
but it appears there was something deeper in
the thoughts and temper Of those free born
residents of Ruperts Land than simply Offering
annoyance to Governor McDougall and refils-
Ing to recognize his official character. They
believed the time had come and the opportu-
nifty was offered them to tell the Canadian
government that its jurisdiction had limit,
halting on the boundary of the Red River
country, and that any effort to assert its claims
beyond this dividing line would be met
in spirit Of -determiaad- usAaistasea M.
The revolution they have started is an accom-
pshed fact, and its effects, 1t Is easy to realize,
viii be as far-reaching as they are pregnant
with the inevitable destiny of annexation.
The Dominion government must have long
since discovered the blunder il has been
guilty of in the tboughtless, cavalier fashion
with which it despatched McDougall to CON-
nand the allegiance of these Red River people.
There was something so arbitrary, and auto
cratic in the manner of the thing that, dull Of
sense as the ''half-breeds" are supposed to be,
they were unable TO shut their eyes to the
palpable imposition of the conceit, and their
protest is now on what promises to be a per-
manent record. That the movement will tend
to revolutionize Canada there Is much likeli-
hood. AL the means Of the Dominion and all
the assistance which England could spare
would be inadequate to coerce the people of
Red River, because they are almost inaccessible
from Canada, and an army could not be sus-
tanned there month. The new republic can
sustain itself without difficulty, and will not be
likely to take q step backward.

Tho Now Democratic Northumberland
In tho Camp.

There is trouble evidently brewing in the
democratic happy family at Albany. They
have splendid opportunity for the reconstruc-
ton Of our city and State affairs on broad
and liberal scale but in their very organiza-
tion they are threatened with discord. The
leaders Of the party, for instance, including
the Tammany and the Albany Regency, as it
Is reported, have agreed upon their man for
President pro tenn. of the Senate--a Brooklyn
man at that-and upon their man for Speaker
Tor the Assembly, looking first to experience
and capability. But the Brooklynites, 1t
seems, don't like this arrangement and won't
stand it; and, still feeling sore over the original
Hoffman for Governor, they are resolved to
fight Tammany with popular candidate Of
their own for the Speakership.
This may seem small matter; but it may
be the beginning of democratic discords which
will run through the whole terra Of the Legs-
lature, spelling many nice party calculations.
The city Of New York has given the democrats
possession of the State, and the city, il is
claimed, has been managed to this end by
Tammany Hall. But let US suppose that the
Brooklyn democratic managers have resolved
to fight and do fight Tammany to the extent of
break in the party caucus for Speaker Of The
Assembly, and that in the Assembly they are
joined by the republicans and thus elect their
candidate over the Tammany man, where will
the mischief In the party camp DO likely to
end? The republicans have played this game
with some success heretofore, and they msy,
probably, have chance to play 1t again. II
matters not how meritorious or otherwise the
Brooklyn or the Tammany candidate may be,
if tho Assemblymen from Kings county are
determined upon putting their man through,
make or break, they may be able to do it.
Between this and Tuesday morning, when the
Legislature meets. the Assembly caucus of the
democrats will have to settle this matter, and
there is chance FIRST that there will be a hot
fight in the caucus, and second, that it may
result in giving the balance of power to the
republicans

Our City schools.

At an extra session Of the Commissioners of
Common Schools In the city of New York, on
Wednesday evening, the annual report Of the
City Superintendent for 1869 was presented
and ordered to be printed in document form.
We published yesterday the interesting report,
which shows that, on the whole, our city
schools are in an encouraging condition. The
total number of pupils taught has been 237, 1926,
and the average attendance 102,970. But the
Superintendent complains of the lack of accom-
mediation In the schools, and says that from
fifteen thousand to thirty thousand children
roam the streets and never attend school.
Measures should be promptly taken to remedy
both these great evils. The aggregate
amount expended during the year ending Sep
TENDER 80, 1860, was $2,96l,3GI. The esti-
mate for the ensuing year is S2,382, 900. The
whole number of classes examined was LOLA,
Of which more than fve-sixths were found
satisfactory This is crcditable alike to pupils
and teachers. The Superintendent is mani
testify imbued with modern humane notions Of
discipline, inasmuch as he expressed his belief
that no absolute necessity exists for the con-
tinuance of corporal punishment, as that
mode Of discipline is liable to abuse, and he
recommended the adoption of rules providing
for the suspension or expulsion of vicious and
contumacious pupils. It is nevertheless GER
tain that there are exceptional cases to which
only Solomon's wise old rule, "Spare the rod,
and spoil the child, is still applicable.
