PARDON OF THOMAS GRAHAM.
Scott has pardoned Thomas Graham, the
negro that was convicted at the January
term of our Court for the murder of
James Thomas, o white man. It will be
reoollected that Grahnm was sentenced
to be executed on the Both of April last,
but before the time arrived for his exc
cption, Mr.. Burdick, of this District,
who lives in the neighborhood where the
murder WIS said to have been committed,
made affidavit to matters that we're not
heard at the trial, upon which petition
was based, signed by many citizens, and
submitted to the Goyernor, asking his
interference in behalf of Grahs-. The
Governor says: r..ii.5...t.., f.,,..
''The testimony, of Burdick explains
satisfactorily several matters that were
made to- bear prejudicially against the
prisoner, and it is deeply to be regretted
that the efforts of the Sheriff to find
him were not successful, 80 that his evil
dence could have been produced on trial.
1t would have been. the preparation of
great error in consignipg, under the
forms of law, an innocent man to death
and his name to infamy. This has hap
PLY been prevented by the humane 9
efforts Of n few patriotic citizens in se-
curing the evidence necessary to his ex-
culpation. It affords me high gratifi
cation to state my conviction, which is
fully sustained by the evidence, that the
death-of James Thomas was clearly the
result Of accident, and. accordingly, to
grant full pardon to Thomas Graham,
ignorantly and wrongfully convicted OF
his murder, and to order his discharge
from confinement"
We purpose saying something more
on this subject soon, for the enlighten-
ment OF Governor Scott, if he is sus-
ceptible OF enlightenment where negro
is concerned Kfhgstree Star.

PRESIDENT GRANT recently said in q
conversation with Mr.. Julian, a men,
ber of Congress from Indiana, that il
the Senate did not repeal the tenure of
Office law, he should not remove any
OF Johnson's Office e-holders except for
such canse as he would be obliged to
take notice of. The fact that they were
Democrats and Johnson men would
not he sufficient cause for removal. In
pursuing this policy we don't see just
now President Grant is going to purify
the revenue service, and without that
how is he going to make good some of
the promises in his inaugural?
