THE MAN WHOM GRANT PARDoNED
Our OF THE ALBANY PENIrENTIARY.-
| witnessed a singular spectacle on
Pennsylvania avenue the other day
that of a gentleman gayly dressed and
driving fast team, and evidently in
in excellent spirits. Yes this gentle
man is just out of the Albany peni-
Tertiary, and he, only short time
ago, stole hundreds of thousands of
dollars from the Treasury. 1t was
Major Hodges, the thief who, by the
interference OF the President, was not
punished for taking a vast amount of
the peoples money. He is warmly
welcomed by many of his old friends,
which shows that the American PEG
pie do not care much for theft in it.
self, so that it is done in respectable
and gigantic fashion. There can be
no question as to the facts in this case.
Major Hodges robbed the treasury of
tens ofthousands of dollars, and he is
not punished, simply because his social
standing was high. If he had stolen
a watch Or a diamond pin he would
still be in the penitentiary, but to steal
a hundred thousand dollars is a safe
and respectable crime, and that is the
lesson his life teaches to the boys of
America.

GaiGt Concert.
1t will be seen by the announcement
in our advertising columns that the
third gift concert Of the Public Ii
brary of kentucky, which was to have
taken place to-day, has been postponed
until July 9. This postponement has
not been occasioned, as we are advis
ed by Gov. Bramlettc, by the small
sales Of tickets; on the contrary, the
sales have been unusually large
much larger than at either of the pre-
ceding concerts-so large, indeed,
that the time given by this ninety-day
postponement will enable Gov. Bran
lette to dispose Of every ticket and in
sure q full drawing without any reduc-
ton or scaling Of the Gifts. as has here
toiore been the case. Gov. b, sees
his way SO clearly that he announces
in the most positive and unequivocal
language that the drawing will take
place July g, and that it will be n full
one. The owner OF the ticket drawing
the capital Gift will get 100000 in
greenbacks without any discount, and
so Of all the other gifts. The money
sufficient to pay all the gitts-$5OO,
600 in greenbacks-is already on Dc
post in the Farmers and Drovers'
Bank, set apart for the payment Of the
Gifts and can be used for no other
purpose, as will be seen blythe cashiers
certificate. Will a knowledge of these
tacts--and we do net hesitate to
guarantee their scrupulous fulfilment--
there will be such a demand for the
tickets now on hand that in all pro-
liability not q single one will be left
for sale weeks before the time of
drawing. There neverer was a fairer
or more honorably-conducte enter
prise before the public. and it has, as
it deserves, the entire cnofdence of our
people. 1t is one of those schemes in
which the purchasers Of tickets feel the
most positive assurance that the draw
ing will be fair, for it will be controll-
ed by the most prominent and dis
tirguished citizens of the city and
State, and those who draw gifts will
be certain to get the money the mo-
ment their tickets are presented.

control them. The testimony of our best citi-
zcns, of all classes, establishes the fact, that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As n remedy,
it is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. By curing Coughs, the
forerunners of more serious disease, it saves un-
numbered lives, and an amount Of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and COIL
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Alice
tions, which are easily met at first, but which
become incurable, and too often fatal, if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is unwise to be without it. As safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multtudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and Misunderstanding
sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Infl.
enZa and painful Bronchitis, when they'know
how easily they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently relied
upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cures rs
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

Newfoundlan and the Cable Monopo
lists.
The letter from "a Newfoundlander," which
appeared in the HERALD OF yesterday, was
sensible and to the point The people Of
Newfoundland take wiser view of this matter
than we expected. Yet self-interest and self
defence teach them to resist the cable mono
poly, and we need not be surprised to find
them on the right side In addition to the
charter, which was liberal in the extreme,
securing the exclusive right of landing
cables on the island, the Atlantic Cable Com
pany obtained grant of one hundred square
miles of unoccupied land, to be selected any
where throughout the island, in blocks of not
less than three miles and without any time
being specified for the selection. This grant
has already put the company in possession Of
the valuable lead mine at La Manche, and is
likely to prove to them source Of immense
wealth. In return for all these favors the
Newfoundland people have certainly not re-
ceived much. The government of Newfound-
land has the remedy in its own hands. Sec
ton fifteen of the charter gives it the right OF
buying up the entire plant of the company at
the end of the first twenty years, and that
without paying for good will or the valuation
of profits. The charter is dated April Is,
1854, SO that by April Is, 1874, the valuation
can be made and the government, by paying
down the money, can make itself owner. We
advise the government of Newfoundland 70
exercise its rights, TO push its presumption
claim and so to bring those cruel monopolists %
their senses, unless the terms offered By ths com.
