PARDoNED.-The Governor has par
doned "John Agnew, Mayor of Colum-
bia," for an ofense of which he was con-
victed in q Trial Justices court in this
city last summer. The crime charged
against the Mayor was that Of using un'
necessary force upon helpless inebri-
ate after he was in his Honor's custody,
by kicking him while he lay PROSTATE on
the ground. The pardon was sought for
the purpose of saving fine of SIS and
cost, imposed by the Trial Justice. We
would have something to say about the
mercy extended to the convicted man in
this case, but as he is about to leave pub
lie life for good, we trust and believe
that charitably disposed people are
willing to let him slide.-Cdlunlbia Reg

MeEvoy has again been respited until
the 18th inst. by Governor Hampton, in
accordance with 3 request from Judge
Thomson, who is row holding Court at
Aiken. The grounds upon which the
respite is granted are purely technical,
and il is probable that Judge Thomson
will resentence McEvoy to cure any pos
sible defect in the present order of execu-
ton ton already pronounced. Therei is, how
ever, NO doubt that the doomed man will
be executed, as all efforts to secure his
pardon have been unavailing.

A ROMANTIC INcIDENr.-MissE Ems
ma Davenport, an attractive young
Virginia lady was recently tried in
the United States Court, at Rich
mond, Va. She was charged with
abstracting a valuable silk dress
and two valuable packages of jewel
ry from the mail while acting as
deputy postmaster at Goochland,
last Christmas. She is of good
family and worry pretty, and there
was, very naturally, much sympathy
manifested by the crowd assembled
in the courtroom. It seems that
her lover was in the courtroom,
and that he was armed with q pis-
tol, with which to blow out his
brains should the sentence be the
Albany penitentiary. But when
the clerk said, "What say you,
guilty or not guilty 2" the fair pris-
oner replied, with tremulous voice,
Guilty !" Then there was scene.
With the word guilty Miss Daven-
port shrieked, threw up her hands,
and fell back into the arms of her
stalwart betrothed. The jury were
moved to tears, and the jndge hid
his face in his handkerchief. It was
half an hour before the lady revived.
The court imposed a fine of one
hundred dollars, then she tainted
again, and the court adjourned.
Miss Davenport and her lover re-
turned to Goochland the same even
ing, where they were Immediately
married.

lion at it's market price, thus turning
the profit arising into the treasury
instead of letting it 60 to private
persons. It also provides q
commission to confer with the
European nations that havea double
standard, to sec whether definite
ratio of value between the two
metals can be agreed upon. It pro-
vides also that the holders of silver
coin may deposit in sums of not less
than ten dollars in the United States
treasury, and may receive instead
certificates receivable for customs,
taxes and public dues. This pro-
vision is an amendment Of the House
bill which allowed the holders of un-
coined silver to deposit it in tho
treasury and receive certificates, and
which therefore allowed the profits
arising from the depreciation of sill
YER to go to private citizens, instead
OF to tho government, as is provided
in the Senate bill These anend-
ments remove the most objection
able features Of the House bill. It
was preposterous to allow private
individuals to carry ninety>two cents
worth Of silver to tho mint and have
it stamped as u dollar. But if the
government brings ninety-two cents
worth Of silver and coins the dollar,
tho profits go into tho public treasu-
ry. we believe, with the advocates of
the Wand bill, that remon citation
will cause silver to appreciate rapid
ly in value, and that this margin of
eight cents will soon be materially
At the same time we
would rather have the dollar Of
weight. The trade dollar
contains 420 grains. Senator Blaine
recommends dollar of 425 grains,
while Senator Eaton thinks $50
grains, at least, necessary to bring
silver to par with gold. And yet
the proposed dollar of 412d grains
is heavier than the corresponding
silver coins Of France, Spain and
other European nations, where the
two metals circulate at par.

The Powers OF Judges.

The Legislature has passed an act
defining tho duties and powers of
circuit judges. It provides that any
judge while holding court in anoth-
or circuit can also hear motions and
causes in chambers as if he wero
Judge of the circuit, whilo tho Judge
of tho circuit has tho power at all
times to perform the functions of bis
Office, except to hold court when
another Judge has been appointed
by tho chief justice under the rule
OF rotation. 1t provides also that no
extra term Of tho circuit co,.rt shall
be ordered except by the Judge Mt
the time holding tho circuit court of
the county for which the extra term
may be ordered, and such extra
term shall be held only by the Judge
ordering tho same, and no cause
shall bo heard at m extra term
which has not been docketed Mt a
preceding regular torn. This law
strips the circuit Judge of consid-
erablo portion of tho powcr he has
heretofore enjoyed in his circuit
and yet at the same time allows in
creased opportunity for havine
motions heard at chambers, as these
can be argued either before tn,
judge of the circuit or before til,
judge temporarily holding cour.
