The most notable instance OF sang Jroso
that We have read of lately was the message
sent the other day to T Twitchell, the condemned
Philadelphia murderer, by his wife. This
cheerful dame who, US our readers Will remem-
Der, was acquitted, on the score OF doubt In
the minds of the jury, of the crime for which
her husband now lies under sentence OF death,
recently remarked to a clergyman who was
about to visit the condemned "By the way,
when you see George cher husband) please ask
him where he would like to be buried after he

Washington correspondents say that an
official announcement has been made thai the
presence of postmasters in Washington will be
considered as proof that they are nsslecting
their duties by being absent from their places,
and that new men will be appointed to fill them
A special exception is made in the case OF the
postmaster at Covington, Kentucky, the father
Of the President, who draws an annual salary OF
$500, and who has been present in the Senate
for several days, patiently listening to the had
ical defiances hurled at his son.
Persons who may be thinking of emigra-

ber. from $3.50 to $500 per Thousand; hay, $500
Der ton; barley, fifteen cents per pound; aour'

1t is, understood the administration has
determined to surrender the warrants OF par
don issued by Mr. johnson, and recalled by
President Grant, only in cases where the par
don is unconditional. In cases where the
pardon was granted upon performance OF GER
tain stipulations or conditions, the recalled
pardons are to be rctairei, and the prisoners
for whom they were issued are to be held IN
custody as though no pardon had been issued
from President johnson. The theory Is that
where the pardon is unconditional it is be-
yond IL control Of the Executive after it has
passed from his hands in such case; the mere
petition of the party seeking Executive c'em-
ENJOY being construed as an acceptance OF the
pardon; but where the pardon is dependent
upon compliance With certain conditions, an
absolute acceptance Of the terms OF those con-
ditions is, on, the part Of the prisoner, deemed
necessary to give effect to the pardon.
The New Orleans Times thus refers to a
.n.,aippful misfortune which has befallen one of
the most gifted sons OF Louisiana: Yesterday
q petition was presented to Judge Duvigneaud
by Messrs. Charvet and Duplantier, praying
that Pierre Soule be interdicted and that
curator be appointed to take charge OF his
AFFAIRS. The petition alleges his permanent
and complete prostration and incapacity. This
distressing misfortune has long been known in
the community. From delicacy to his esteem
ed family, it has not been regarded as proper
to be referred to in the public prints. This
reason can no longer suppress the expression
OF our profound sorrow and sympathy for the
distinguished gentleman and his afflicted tamil
ly. The unhappy condition c. ir. soule has
been pr oduced by family sorrows of the most
distressing character. His only son some
time ago manifested symptoms of mental aber-
ration. These have become permanent, and
now both father and son demand the incessant
care of devoted relatives aud friends"
