comparison with such proceedings as those in
New York. The commissioners were sent to
prison, and have already endured fourteen
weeks of their sentence. Strenuous efforts
were made for their pardon, but without sue
cess, except in the case Of MCGEE, for whose
release there was strong pressure on account
of his failing health. The Governor reluctant
ly released him when the unanimous opinion
of number of physicians declared that he
would otherwise die in prison. He went in q
healthy man and came out shadow. The
Governor insisted on the fine being paid, and
utterly refuses to consider the question of the
pardon of the other offender. That is the way
the Republicans deal with dishonest men of
their party. Not 50 Democracy.
