The District Attorney on Pardons.

In returning the application of Joseph oker
for n pardon, the District Attorney says that
oker for three years prior to November l, 1877,
kept a bowling alley at 12l5 + street north
west, aad was licensed to keep bar. When
he applied for a renewal II was refused. Either
while his application was pending, or after his
application had been denied, and after his
former license had expired, he sold liquor in
violation of law, aud was convicted thereof
The case wis vigorously defended, but his
guilt was fully established aud seemed to be
admitted by the papers flied. The excuse set
up for the violation of tho license law Is a very
common one 1t is alleged that the petitioner
has done all lie could to comply with the law,
and that his application had been arbitrarily
refused. Whether this was true or not he had
no means of judging. lie makes general
suggestion in regard to the subject Of pardons
In the tral of cases the District is put to ex-
pcuse In the payment Of clerks aud marshals
fees, and when the guilt Of the party is cstab.
lished he clu soc no reason why these expenses
shoud not be paid by the offender when par.
don is granted. lie therefore recommends that,
except where the pardon is granted because
the Commissioners arc satisfied of the limo.
ccnce of the party. 1t should be on condition
that the costs are paid.

That funniest of comedies "Pink Donaf-

Broadway Theater Company for the firxt
time in this city So much has been writ-
ten of the play, and the reading public is 70
familiar with its character, that bare men-
ton is all that is necessary, Those who
saw Baby and enjoyed its quaint hurnOr
and rollicking fun will have an idea of Whist
is in store for them in going to sec Pink
Dominoes." 1t abounds in just such sitla-
tions and sparkles with the same bright dia,
logue, but is really much better play, be-
ing more complete in its plot, and mone
evenly balanced in the importance of all lin
characters.
The Broadway Theater Company plays
the piece elegantly, and such comedy IN
the hands of company like this makes an
entertainment that for fun and genuine Gu
joyment seldom has an equal. Two nights
and Saturday matinee are the only remain
ing opportunities of seeing this splendid
company. Same bill for remainder of TIM

Briefly Told.


National Associated Press to the Star.
SAN Francisco, May 3.-It is rumored
here that the steamers City of Toxic and
Japan, of the Pacific Mail Line, have been
purchased by the Russian Government

The report is a canard.
COLUMBUS, May 3-It is reported that the
lessees Of the Public Works having aban-

FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1878.

latter is reported as follows: II have no
doubt at all that the reason why no investi-
cations are likely to be made by the Demo-
Gratis into all the facts connected with the
late Presidential election, and the subSe-
quent local and national cOuntings, is be-
cause such an investigation would lead to
the exposure of the Southern Democrats
who commenced negotiations through the
conference that Col. Roberts, of the New
Orleans Times, had with Gov Hayes De-
cember Sd, and continued the same down
to March I'd, the result of which wasa a need
less bargain by Hayes to betray the Repub-
lican party, to trample down the Packard
and Chamberlain Governments and sur
render himself completely to Southern
Democratic control. Of course the Demo-
Gratis engaged in this business do not wish
to have their negotiations brought to light,
nor do they wish to be deprived of the petty
patronage which they are daily receiving
from the President whom they are protect
ing from disgrace and exposure. That the
Republican party was sold out by Hayes
and his representatives there is as little
doubt as there is that in return for his
treason Hayes is being protected in his Of
flee by the influence of the same Southern
Democrats who dare not investigate into
the facts connected with the Presidential
contest and its attendant bargainings."
The Republican also contains report of
an interview with Mr.. Foster, OF Ohio,
wherein the latter says in regard to the IA
nous Wormley Hotel conference that there
was no bargaining there of any kind; and
then concludes as follows: But there is no
doubt that most dsreputable means have
lately been employed to extract the confes-
sions of McLin and Dennis by Mr.. Tilden.

Frank D. Moulton, of Brooklyn, yesterday
appeared before the Committee on Ways
and Means, and argued in opposition to the
salt paragraph in the Tariff Bill. He urged
that salt be placed on the free list, on the
ground that the use of domestic salts in

per pound
