PARDON REFUSED THos. r. BYRD
The Gooe,7or Afiaid Of Pubic Sentiment.
The refusal Of Governor Walker to pardon
Thomas r.. Byrd will doubtless surprise
the friends Of the latter. We gave very
extended account Of the arrest of BYRD, at
the Exchange hotel, some time ago, and OF
his trial at Alexandria, resulting in his
conviction and sentence for three years to
the penitentiary. The charge against Byrd
was that of blgamy, he having married a
woman in Washington, and afterwards
married another in Alexandria. But few
miles separated tho two. We read much
OF the testimony in this case, and believe
Byrd entitled TO executive clemency. Mr..
Walker is rapidly disgusting many persons
who assisted to elevate him to power, by
his stubborn refusal to grant par(ons even
when deserved. Comparisons are odious,
and he is doubtless endeavorine TO make
such a record as will exhibit a difference
between his administration, in respect to
pardons, land that OF some of his more
mer,iiul predecessors. 1t IS singular
spectacle to see the Governor of State so
ticklish of public sentiment, who ought to
know that the fearless discharge Of public
duty wins respect and public favor.

WHY THUs7

In its cyclone of wrath yesterday the Bd-
letin justified revolution by declaring that
a certain piece of property which sold for
twelve thousand dollars one year ago is
now unstable at seven thousand. And
is this a reason why we should all take up
arms and run into riots that would bring
down every species of property in the
same proportion? Perhaps. the owner
paid too much perhaps he has injured
the property ; perhaps other parts of the
city have been developed into greater
value. Who knows? There is printing
Office within our cognizance which sold
for twenty thousand dollars two years age.
but which would be considered dear to-day
at five thousand Is this cause of revo-
luton? Shall we bring out the militia
and sweep away the government because
this personal property has dwindled down
until it will hardly command one-fourth
of its ancient value? Hardly. Why?
Because people understand the reason Of
the why, and perhaps feel satisfied that
s'things are as they are"

ONE OF TIE CROWD CAPTURED.

Our mercurial neighbor, the Times,
started out, some eight or ten days ago,
with broadside against the State debt,
which it accompanied with q fusillade
against the payment Of taxes. The Buue-
tin followed IN its wake, and poured in q
charge of solid shot in favor of repudia-
ton. The Bee sailed into the fight with
an array Of old fashioned mortars, de-
claring that the best way to save the State
would be to ruin its credit The Picay.ne
crested the yesty sea with its flag adoat,
but the inscription was SO mixed up and
confused that none Of the signal men have
yet been able to discover which side of the
fight it was on. The REPUBLICAN,, as in
duty bound, stood on an even keel, and
challenged the whole array, using q ''style
of flippant and contemptuous scorn," 80
to speak about the entire muss. The
contest has been waged with uninterrupted
success on our part, and it affords Us con-
siderable zest to report in our first public
bulletin that the Times has been captured.
Yesterday it detached itself from the un-
certain and apparently simless fire Of its
volunteer squadron, and came almost
squarely around to our side in the con-
flict. It can mot agree with the Bee, it
dare not venture with the Bulletin, it can
not place the Pioay.ne, it is disguised
with itself, and, as a refuge, it retreats un-
der the gums of the REPUBLICAN.
This is all right. We are peacefully in
clined toward all, and the white flag is
entitled to our respect. Let the Times
assist us without being oficious when it
does not exactly understand the drift of
affairs, and the State will come out all
right yet. We dare not say how, because
garrulty is indiscreet in the pursuit of
pigeons. .t.st

ton Besides the circumstance that
April fool practices do not obtain IN all

that wherever Christianity is recognized,

plausibihty in the superstition that tne

some way derived from .. Hindoo holiday
called the Kuli festival, which occurs an
nually on the last day of March, and
which is celebrated by species OF sat-
urnalia similar to the fast decaying prac-
tees OF All Fools Day among ourselves.
From the circumstance that IN the
Roman calendar the month OF April stood

It is just probable that if the tele-

the election on Monday may be favorably
