GOV. BLACKBURN PARDoNs FOURTEEN Con-
v1CTs.-A special to the Louisville Courtsr-Jour-
nal from Frankfort Ky, Oct 2, says: The gov
ernor this evening, In company with the board
OF physicians and the prison commissioners,
made visit to the penitentiary. AT the gate
he found the sheriff Of Madison, having in
charge negro woman with a child one year
old. Her name was Margaret Oldham, and she
and her husband had both been convicted of
burglary. The child could not be held In prison,
and Madison county had made no provision for
1t. The woman said she had six other children
at home, and she did not know how they would
be cared for so the governor settled the diff
Guilty by ordering her pardon. He then went
into the prison. and after examining every case
In both hospitals ordered pardoas to be written
for eleven men and three women. All OF them
were cases which merlted removal from the
Black Hole. They represented consumption,
scrofula, s;urvy, syphilis and other disc uses.
In going through the wards he was beset with
appeals from prisoners, and was very patient
but frank In expressing his views, and many
applicants turned away with the knowledge
that pardons could not be had for the mere ask
ing. Thus far the governor has made no mis-
take In granting pardonS. and 1T is not likely he
will make very many, though he says he will
pardon every man that ought 10 be pardoned, If
1t depOpulateS the prison.

FOR STRIKING.-A meeting Of over Ga boatmen
was held here yesterday with Abraham Kroon
president and John Cahill secretary. The COM
mittee appointed at former meeting to confer
with the miners reported that they had made
an unsuccessful attempt to meet the latter and
that they were credibly Informed that the sec
rotary Of the miners pocketed the Geographic
dispatches sent and did not present them to the
miners meeting. resolution was adopted
condemning the action of the miners secretary
as unworthy of and unbecomtng to the boat
men as fellow-workmen. 1t was further re-
solved that from all the Information in their
power to obtain that the companies for which
they are boating are unable to pay an advance
at this tme and that they will for the present
agree to boat at 20 cents. Before adjourning
the meeting adopted a resolution 'that the
miners acted unwisely in organizing strike at
this time, when they are rewarded for their
labor equally as well as the miners of other
districts, which compete with US in the general
market, and we believe that should the strike
continue for any length of time the trade that
is now ours will be driven to other regions,
