No, sir; the journal don't know any such

Ward One will reveal the fact that the fellow
with black setting to his eyes, voted the
straight democratic ticket with the combna-

just one remark to make before deposting
his ballot; we remember it distinctly: 81

piled that he had not, but he had what In sub
Govornor-wh he then drew forth and read as
we have above given. At the conclusion OF the
reading, Undertook expressed his disapproyal OF
the action OF tho Board Of Pardons. saying that
they might have easily granted him his pray
ers and also that the lower Court without any
improperly whatever might have granted him
q new trial, In the face OF the glowing facts that
his witnesses had not all been heard at the trial
owing to some gross Encouragement on the
part OF certain parties.

injured beyond all power Of redemption.
He gave no exhibition Whatever Of fear OF

scarcely be able to conceal his emotion. As the
visitors were about to quit tho cell, Mr. Perdne
, told the prisoner that his death warrant would
most likely reach tho Sheriff THE evening, OF
tomorrow morning, to which he bowed calmly
but made no audible reply.
