LITTLE Rock, ARI.9 Dee. Il, 1871.
John W. Stayton-Dear Sir; Your
favor OF 10th, inst, to the Auditor Of
State, has been referred 10 this Office
for consideration. An examination
of the act of March Sth, 1877, the
Constitution and the case Of Parcel
VS.. Barnes & Bros, 25th'Ark,, 1852,
leads me to the conclusion that iu-
rors' certificates are not receivable
by the collector in payment Of taxes.
They can only be so used after the
County Court has acted upon them,
and warrants are issued therefor.
In so far as the act Of March Sth,
1877, would make them receivable
Immediately after the clerks certi-
fcate is issued, it is in my Judgment
unconstitutional, not only as being
in violation of Sec. 10, Art, l6, but
as legislative interference with the
constitutional prorogativo of the
County Court. Yours,
W. T. HENDERSON, Atty Gen'l.

HOW 10 apply GOF Pardon.
EXECUTIVE OFFIoE, LITTLE Rock, !
Dee. 19, 1877.
The pressure upon the Executive
for the extension OF clemency to
convicts, and tho difficulty, in many
instances, Of determining the merits
Of the case presented, render abso-
lutely necessary The adoption Of
some regulations in the matter Of
applications ior pardon or for com
mutation Of sentence. The follow
ing rules, therefore, are established:
/. Public notice Of Application for
pardon or communication must be
given, in the county where the con-
viction was had, for at least three
successive weeks before the appllca-
tion is filed, and satisfactory evil
dence of compliance with his rule
must accompany the application,
2. The application must invaria-
bly, be in writing, and must set forth
specifically the grounds upon which
pardon or con PAU tptioa-isa 9 lied.
3. The application must in all
cases be accompanied by state
ment, Of the character prescribed by
section 1893 of Gantt's Digest, from
the Judge before whom the convic-
ton was had, as well as by the
written opinion of the prosecuting
attorney acting in the case, as to the
merits of the application; OF, in de-
fault of either one Of these papers,
by afidavits showing that the officer
has been requested to furnish such
statement or opinion, and has re-
fused, or, for more than two weeks,
neglected to do SO.
4. No application, whatever, for
clemency, will be at all considered
until reduced to writing and signed
by the parties making it,

1t was some time before Judge Harris was

Why didn't he vote for it when he had the
chance? He voted against it. That's al

Gen. Echols-All knew that that propo-
sition in the legislature was merely intro
duced as catch. 1t only got four votes.
Judge Harris said the Democrats quoted

Of gaining the ascendancy in the next

telegraphed to the INDICATOR, show the
following disasters for the Republicans:
In Ohio, II Democrats and Republicans
are elected. 1.-THE delegation from that
State in the present Congress stands II

sent delegation stands 9 Republicans to

present delegation is solid Republican,
West Virginia reelected it's three Demo-

their State ticket, and in Indiana the

We had many pleasant excursions while

which suddenly opens out on the opposite

Paris Letter of Reu. Hoses D. JIoge.
My friend, Mr.. Pemberton, and myself
both having letters of introduction to Rev.
Theodore Monod (although 1 had met
with him in the United States, and again
in Edinburgh last summer) agreed to go
together and present them this forenoon.
at the loge de concierge of his residence
we were simply Informed that ne was not
at home, but that we would find him at
his c.Iurch, and nothing more was added.
We had a good deal of difficult in finding
the church, owing to the imperfect di-
rectionS we received from the concierge,
but when we at last succeeded, we dis
covered that it was crowded TO overflow
ing, and that a service of som" kinl was
in progress. We entered and saw an ele-
waited bier in the middle of the church.
with the initial IL. on velvet tablets, at
tached to its sides, and lnantortetles at the
head and foot. [ asked little woman in
black with white cap Oh he read, whose
office it was 10 attend to the pv~s and pro-
vide seats for strangers, who's; funeral it
Was, and [ was greatly shocked by the
reply, 1T is the funeral of Mrs. Monod.'
When the service was over. mingled
with the crowd waiting in f ont of the
church for the funeral coftege TO pass out
and there l met with Dr. Fisci,, who was
in America few years ago, al who WAS
in the Council in Edinburgh las. summer
When Mr.. Monod came out of the
church, he stood alone for a few moments
on the steps within few feet OF me, and
taking advantage of the opportunity, l
took INN by the hand, AID uttered a few
words Of sympathetic which he responded
most gratefully ana affectional-y.
The funeral customs here gr, atty differ
from ours. OF this had a ST. king illus
tration to-day. With us, the II 'feaved en-
ter carriage and are seclud, from OBJ
servation as soon as the funeral ser 7ices
are over, but to-day Mr.. M"nod a0alked
next to the hearse, with his little children
around him.
Seldom have my sympathies been more
moved for any one, and never Id | have a
more unexpected sequel to an INTENDED
visit.
