THIN REASONS.


our last Issue, were given ~ the Gov
efnor Tor the pardoning It the four
Cinnamon who murdered John Nc
Guinness at this place last summer:
Owing to the great excitement
growing out of the transaction, before
and during he trial; to the fact that
they belonged to degraded and pro
scrlbed race, ignorant of our laws and
language; to the fact that two of their
party were killed by the man whom
they afterwards slew; the unsatisfac.
tory nature OF some of the testimony;
to the hurry attending the last days of
the Court; to the imperfect manner in
which the records came up for IA new
trial; to the time they have been i'm
prisoned since the ARRAY, it would ap-
pear that they ought to be liberated"
The above reasons appear to be
very weak. Because they arc igno-
rant of our laws and language, can be
no excuse for murder, which is recog-
nlzed by every nation, whether Chris
tlan or Pagan, as the greatest of
crimes; and there is not Monaghan
in the United States today that is not
fully aware IF the fact that murder is
considered by our laws the greatest of
crimes.
Another ground given is that 1.-TWO
of their party were killed by the man
they afterwards slew" Because two
OF their number were killed in the
fight does not lessen the crime of those
who committed the murder.
Again, the Governor gives as an.
other reason "the time they have been
since the ARRAY" The
terms given them by The Court, after
trial 10y jury, were hardly entered up.
IN when the Executive pardon re-
eased them. Can he consider six
months Imprisonment sufficient pun
Shment for the crime of murder?
Would it not be well for Mr.. Bray
nan to give us some insight into the
unsatisfactory testimony" aud where
n the records of the Court were i'm
'erfect" This is case that is inter
sting to the people of Boise county,
md If our Governor, whom we do not
ccuse of wrong motives, can give
ny better reasons for pardoning the /,
our Chinaman than were cont aimed in .
he letter we published last Friday, ,
re would like to see them given to ,
he public.
