New Orlea ans, March 3, 1875
To the Honorable President and Members of the
Senate:
submit the application for pardon of
one Joseph Wilson.
As you will perceive, Judge Abel, before
whom the accused was tried, certifes that
in his opinion, Wilson was illegally con-
victed.
The district attorney and all the members
of the jury now living join in the appeal
for his pardon. Wilson was sentenced to
the Penitentisry for life.
The Offense of which he was convicted is
not stated in the papers before me, which
are herewith submitted for your considera-
ton and action.
WILLIAM P. KELLOGG,
Governor.
To His E1cellency William P. Kellogg. Governor Of
Louisiana
The mother and sisters of Joseph Wilson,
now under sentence for life to the State
Penitentiary, beg of your excellency atten-
ton to this their appeal for his pardon. He
is but twenty three years Of age and the
only support OF his mother and sister, who
are very poor. A copy of the opinion of
Judge Abel is presented herewith. in which
your e1cellency will see that the judge did
not believe him guilty of the crime for
which he was convicted.
The recommendations of the Attorney
General, the judge and others to this petit
ton are also presented. He has been in
jail for ono year, and should your exoellenoy

nesees for the defense could not be found
and were not present to testify in his be-
half.
The jury after long deliberation found
MCGOWAN guilty of granddaughter, and ask
recommendation to the mercy of the
reason that many of us being present at the
trial between the State Of Louisiana vs.
| Edward MCGOWAN, believed that he was
| excusable for the homicide as it was done
| in self defense.
MCGOWAN has been in confinement for
| over two years, and during that time he
has shown himself to be q good and trusty
prison of several conspiracies among the
prisoners confined in prison to break jail
and the murder of the keepers.
eve therefore urgently and respe ctfully
| recommend his pardon to your excellency,
believing it would be just and virtuous
| exercise of the power vested in you by law.

The court-martial in this officers
case render tie following sentence: s'ro
be reprinanded in general orders from
Department Headquarters. The court
is so lenient in consideration of the
good character and record of the accus-
ed, and of his ineNperience which has
been taken advantage of in the circum-
stances of the present case.'
Gen. Emory approves the findings
and sentence, releases the accused; says
the findings show great leniency, &c,

undoubtedly held before the commits

New Tax Collector.

Mr.. Kellogg has appointed DIR. d. II.
Dinkgravc tax collector of this parish,
vice S. Whited removed.
Mr.. Whited being a staunch Rcpub-
lican and having administered his
Office satisfactorily even to Kellogg, we
have been curious to ascertain the cause
of this change, but can hear nothing
more satisfactory than that Judge

SIfcf.iH'.S Bond,

The bond of G. Il. Hamlet as sheriff
after having triumphantly passed the
vigilant scrutiny Of Recorder Grady
and Dist. Clerk 1Inncmoscr, fell under
the inspection of Capt. Crosley, Presi
dent of the Police Jury. Capt. Croslcy
went through the bondsmen, and de-
citicd that the paper was not good.
Therupon Hamlet had Capt. Crosley
to appear before Judge Ray to show i'll
what the insutiiciency of the bond con
sisted. The assessment roll, mortgage
records, &C., were produced, and the
solvcncy of the bondsmen inquired into
by the Court. Judge Ray, in his de-
cision, rendered Judgment against
Hamlet, rejecting $24OO Of the $4,000
taken on his bond. We learn that the
deficiency has been made good by
Mr.. Whited who will conduct the Office
of sheriff with Hamlet.

Judge Ray sentenced Reese, convict
ed of manslaughtcr for killing Gaines
Story, to II years in the pcnitentiary.
upon life, his days will probably end
in penitentiary long before his term
expires, and we might say now that he
leaves behind a wife and four children
upon the cold charities of the world.

Upon the completion Of the telegraph
line hence to Bastrop, the Mayor of
that town sent the Mayor of Monroe
the following message:
BAsTROP, La, Jan. IS, 1915.
Hon. Fi'cd Endon,, Mayor Of Monroe:
Bastrop safutes Monroe and rejoices
that our telegraph line is completed. 1t
is not needed as Il cord of friendship.
Our love for our neighbors does not
need strengthening; but we rejoice that
now we are in speaking distance, not
only of Monroe, but of the civilized
world. May its first flashes prove to
be the gray streaks of that happy morn
when Louisiana will be permitted to
arise, put on her robes and complete
her toilet according to her own taste,
and reign the majestic queen she is,
dispensing smiles and justice to the de-
light of her adoring subjects.
Respectfully, ID. b. SMITH,
Mayor of Bastrop.
Mayor IIndom, to the above, respon-
dcd as follows:

Hon. d. 3. SMITH. Ahtyor Of bttst,o1,:
With great rejoicing read your first
telegram. Monroe congratulates the
citizens of Bastrop on the completion of
their great enterprise. May it prove a
success to all concerned. My hope is
that the next important telegram going
to you over the new wire may an
nouncc the downfall of the tyrant who
now holds the drawn sword over the
liberty of the citizens of this State.
Respectfully, FRED. ENDOM,
Mayor City Of Monroe.
