THE SENTENCED MEN.
A REPRIEvE PROBABLE.

1t is probable that the Governor will issue
a reprieve for Bill Williams, alias Whisky Bill,
and George Henderson, who are confined in
the Parish Prison, whose death warrants he
signed some days ago, and who, under the
warrants, were to be hung on Friday, 26th
instant.
There is nothing in the case of either ofthe
men that appeals to executive clemency;
Both of them committed deliberate and cold
blooded murders, but since their trial, and
indeed, since the death warrants issued, the
question of the legality of the jury who In
dicted them has been raised in another case,
and it is probable that the Governor will
grant reprieve until the question is decided.
1t is possible that it may be decided before
the day fixed for the execution, and In that
event the Governor will not move in the mat
ter
There is strong pressure, political and
otherwise, being brought to bear on the
Governor to get him to reprieve Henderson
and commute the sentence, without any refer
ence to the legal question.
Henderson killed a woman in q negro
dance-house. Without cause or provocation b.
shot her in the back, after first coolly allowing
| her to pass him. 1t was premeditated ant
deliberate murder, and Gov. Kellogg should
extend to him no clemency.
Bill Williams, it would appear, has n
friends. At any rate, if he has, they hav
made no move in his behalf.
TURcoTrEs AUCTION The sales at auctio

extensive dry goods merchant, No. 158 Cana

From the above it will be seen that almost
two-thirds of the full value of said property
was exhausted in settling the taxes with the
accrued penalties. This is not an isolated
case; the same thing may be said Of every
property in this city entered as delinquent.
Ii the next Legislature does not give imne-
diate relief to the taxpayers by renting all
fines, penalties, damages and costs on the de-
Inquent tax-rolls, State and city, then the
wisest course to pursue will be to abandon
real estate to its fate money will be saved by
the operation. 1t would bankrupt million
aire to keep even with the payment OF taxes
in this section Of the land.
