The City Stable ON Free street.

MR. EDITOR, ALLOW me through your col
umns to call the attention OF the City Author
tiles to the fact of long existing nuisance in
the shape of a city stable near Free street.
No individual would be long tolerated in
continuing this dbominable nuisance, and no
city government that calls itself respectable
would do SO; and if those living near by are
unwilling, or neglect to abate it, the public
who frequent that part of the city should take
the matter IN hand in the name of decency
and oblige many FEMALE PEDESTRIANS

The PARDON OF HENRIETTA YoRK.-We
are extremely gratified to learn that Governor
Chamberlain has issued pardon in the case of
Henrietta York, and that the papers authori-
zing her discharge reached the Jail yesterday.
In the absence of Sheriff Perry, the turnkey,
Mr.. Hayes, adopted very pleasant mode of
procedure. He Informed Miss York that she
was at liberty to visit home for two days, Civ
ing her at the same time letter for her mother.
In that letter her mother will find very pleas-
ant intelligence. viz: the news of the pardon
of her daughter. Miss York was very much
affected when given permission to visit home.
but she had no suspicion that her term of i'm
prisonment was ended.
The case of Henrietta York mas become f..
nous one on several accounts. The sentence
imposed after her conviction of the crime ot
concealing the birth of her child was regarded
as more severe than the circumstances of the
case rendered proper. The details of her mis-.
fortunes, made known to the public tbrouyb
the papers, excited general popular sympathy.
Miss York was known to be woman of good
character prior to the false step which led to
all her subsequent misfortunes. OF late If has
been generally understood that Gov Chamber
lain would decline to extend to her the execu-
tive clemency, but it proves otherwise, much
to the qualification of nearly all who are con-
versant with the circumstances of the case.

The response to the Argus proposition to
desert the wreck Of Democracy in Maine has
not yet been made. For our part we have lit
tie doubt that there are adventures in the
Republican party who would enter zealously
into scheme for a Repubico- Democratic alli-
aDce-a grand conservative combination = a
Philadelphia convention, as it were, revised
and corrected to suit the latitude of Maine
There are many Democrats who would meet
them half way. But the number of Republi-
cans who would engage in such an enterprise
is SO small, aud their personnel so insignf-
cant, that the whole plan, so far from being
calculated to excite apprehension, can only
furnish food for laughter. Let whoever de-
sres it by all means attempt to act upon the
argus suggestion. The treachery of the De-
mocracy in Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia,
after sedueing unsuspcous Republicans to
unite with them, has taught lesson that is
not yet forgotten.

dications are that the display of horses and

made at any previous exhibition of the New

they, by making theiI entries with the Secre-
tary at once, can have all attention paid to their
horses, and they will be trained SO that they
may be able to make the best exhibit of their
merits, and all the advantages OF the Park will
be open to them. We understand, too, that
every opportunity Will be afforded to the press
from abroad to enable them to give full and
succinct account of the proceedings.
