Recommendations fer PaE,3ns Objection

The following circular has been sent to the
United States attorneys:
W,sHrNGroN, d. G., March 10, 1873.

WASHINGTON, d. G., March 10, 1875.
Sjr-lour attention is respectfully invited
to the accommodation of pardons bv the at
torneys OF the United States II is often the
case that petitions for pardons are submitted
to these officers for their favorable Endorsement
before being presented to the President. 1t is
necessary for the proper consideration Of
pardon application that statement of the
facts surrounding the petitioners ottense and
conviction should be obtained from the United
States attorney in whose district the conyic-
ton took place.
To this end, as well as for the purpose Of
obtaining an expression Of their opinion upon
the question of extending Executive clemency
IN the premises, it is usual to refer such ap-
plcation to the proper district attorneys for
consideration and report. This being the
case, 1T follows that the addition of any re-
commentator or expression of opinion by
them to such petitions is unnecessary and I'M
desirable. 1t is requested, therefore, that the
attorneys of the United States will in the
future refrain from making any recommended
tons to this Department in regard to applica-
tlons for Executive clemency until such ap-
plications are officially referred to them, anG
they are called upon for report. Very re-
spectfully,
Gro. H. WILLIAMS, Attorney General.

VIII the Republicans Nominate Grant for
q Third Term

Let Republicans. particularly those in
Connecticut who are hugging the de-
fusion to their breasts tina. President
Grant cannot saddle himself upon
their party for a third term, consider how the
Republic IN National Convention will be CON
stltuted when 1t meets next year. The States.
including Colorado. will be represented by
sos votes IN the convention. A majority will
be lS3 votes. The Republican party in the
South is composed almost wholly of negroes
They are controlled by the carpet -baggess who
beng office holders are favorable to the re-
tentton OF Grant. The great dispenser of
patronage, III the Executive chair at Washing
ton. They VIII see to it that a solid third
term delegation goes from the South to the
National Convention. The sixteen Southern
States, including Missouri, will be repre-
sented by l3S votes.
With such beginning in the Convention,
the President has TO win but few delegations
from the North to insure his triumphant
nomination. What may he not hope from
the labors of his Jealous henchmen in New
York and Pennsylvania and Masschu> etts
Is II probable that the Simmonses and But
lers, the Conklings and Tom Murpbys. the
Camerons and Bill MAINS will f4il to run pri
marIeS and manipulate State conventions so
mat thlrd-terin delegations will be secured
GRANT can have the next regular Repu blican
nomination If be wants it. The indications

censurable for having apPo;.:ted to

We have surrendered our space,
to very considerable extent, to
advertisers this week. We hope
Our subscribers will not object to
this, for it is but once a year that
Christmas comes, and as the patron
age of advertisers goes far towards
sustaining a paper, it is: but due to
them that their claims to public
patronage should be presented ac-
casionally. and more than this, as
we hope our subscribers are all
friends who desire our success, we
ask them to patronize those who
patronize us, when they can do as
we'll by so doing as by making their
purchases elsewhere.
The Hastings Gazette of last
week has lengthy article advoca-
ting the union of Pierce, Washing
ton and Dakota counties in union
fairs and exhibitions, and argues
that Hastings is the natural centre
of the territory embraced in the
three counties. a good bridge
across the island and eastern chan
mel of the Mississippi, at this point,
is the only thing needed to make
this preferable trading point for
the Pierce county folks, and every
seasons delay Of that Improvement
involves serious present and flu
ture loss to Red Wing.
Important amendments to our
statute regulating probate business
are sorely needed, and it is to be
hoped that the next legislature will
give the matter serious attention.
What right has the State to entail
oppressive and unnecessary ex-
penses on the estates of deceased
persons? AS those most generally
interested in these estates are de-
fenceless women and children, it
would not be amiss that all expens-
es in the shape of fees to officers
should be abolished. Is it essential
that widows and orphans should be
taxed SO excessively?
1t seems to us that the demo-
Gratis are worrying unnecessarily
about beating Grant. 1t is alto
gether probable that the republican
convention will save them this
trouble by refusing to nominate Mr..
Grant for third term. There are
comparatively few members of the
republican party who are really in
favor of violating the long establish.
ed rule of the country, in electing
the same man to the presidency for
longer time than two terms.
The independent national COM
mittee met in Chicago week before

deliberations.

VOL. III.

In prosecuting Mr.. Avery, one
of the St. Louis whiskey corruption
lists, ex-senator Henderson, Of Mo-,
who had been employed by the gov
ernment to assist IN the case, in
dulged in some remarks which are
capable of being construed into an
insinuation against President Grant,
although such is not necessarily an
inference to be drawn from them.
For this reason the President order
ed his dismissal as one of the coun-
sci in the case forthwith. AS the
evidence in this case and those pre-
viously tried implicated Gen. Bab-
cock, the Presidents private secre-
tary, SO strong ly that a St. Louis
grand jury indicted him, and as 9th
er high officers of President Grants
appointing are somewhat tainted in
popular estimation, this removal of
Mr.. Henderson is, to say the least,
an ill-advised act. 1t must interfere
more or less with the conduct Of the
future cases that are waiting to be
tried, with all the complications of
which Mr.. Henderson had made
himself familiar, and, if all those
who are now or may hereafter be
indicted are not convicted, the pub
lie will be apt to attribute their es-
cape to this act: and will, of course
assign as a reason for the removal a
desire on the part Of the President
to shield those of his intimate friends
who may be guilty.
There is strong desire on the
part of some political leaders Of
both parties, to introduce arelig1ous
Controversy in the coming presiden-
tial contest. The purpose is to in
fame the popular mind and attract
it from the consideration Of impor-
tant political topics. Both the old
parties are divided on the tariff, cur
rency and civil service reform ques-
tions, and those who assume to lead
them. would fain smother the dis
cussion of these subjects beneath
load of irrelevant matter. The
people may rest assured that our
school system is in no danger, that
the domination and wealth Of the
churches is not sufficient cause for
immediate alarm, and that there is
no ground for apprehending that
either the Methodlsts or Catholics
propose to capture the government
for five or six years 70 come, at
least. Let them, therefore, refuse
to be diverted by this stuff from the
consideration of those matters which
are Of immediate interest: that is,
the currency, tariff and an honest
administration of our governmental
affairs.

Carl Schurz denies that ex-Sen-

with the liberals in 1872, and re-

cord with his party. Mr. Schurz de-
