II 10 said that Congrsssman-els

have certainly not been very successful
in producing the evidences required In
such case To satisfy the public. There
Is no record of such pardon on the
docket Of the U. B. District Court ol
Delaware, where it should appear II Il
was granted as is claimed. Mr.. C. P.
Johnson, editor Of the Gazette, was al
that time U. s. Marshal, and certainly
knows whether such pardon was grant
ed or not. The friends Of Mr.. Martin
have had the following letter published: /:
OFFICE U. s. MARsHAL, }
WILMINGTON, DEL.. Oct. 9, 1865
Il. l.. MARTIN, iisa.--iear Sri
! have to inform you that ] this LAY rs-
ceived from the Secretary Of the United
States nd interim tue papers for your
pardon. Yours, &C.,
--, G. P. JOHNSON,
U. 8. Marshal Distris. Of Delaware.
Ifthis Is all the proof that can be
produced Of Cot. Martins pardon 1t Is
certainly not conclusive enough to sat
isfy the public on such an important
subject. In Mr.. Johnson's letter TO Col.
NJ, written ten years ago, ne says moth
ing about q pardon having been grant
I'd, but that he had received from the
Secretary Of the United States ad interim,
the papers for your pardon" This i'm
plies that some preliminary papers had
been received and that some other ac-
tion was need d. Had these papers
been q pardon Mr.. Johnson would have
written to Mr.. Martin In quite differ.
rnt strain. He would have written
something like this: .....
81 have the pleasure Of forwarding
to You this day full and complete
pardon received from the Secretary Of
the United States ad interim signed by !
His Excellency President Johnson, &C."
Mr.. Johnson is very correct and care
ful man in the transaction Of his busi-
ness and It Is not probable that he
would either mislay or allow such an
important document to be stolen as Is
intimated at the Fifth and Market street
establishment. He would hardly fail
to have such an important document
recorded AZ required.
Meanwhile it seems TO be really ne
,essary for Mr.. johnson to rise and ex-
plain and let the public know what he
knows about Col. Martins pardon. The
people Of Delaware want to know
whether Col. Martin or John q. Jack.
ION is the Congressman. elect, or wheth-
.r Delaware is without a Congressman.
Il may all be true that Col. Martin is
oardoned, but If h. has been the peo-
Die want more proof Of II than ha, yet

about the grounds and the workmen
commenced digging and excavating for
a bundation. and 1t was not long before
thb bones and skulls appeared and
were carted off--heaven knows here.
There was at this time great indigna-
ton and crowds of people assembled in
the vicinity, expressing their indigna-

the authorities were appealed to, but
without success. At length the indig
nation of those who had friends buried
