Robert Atvyood's Release.
From the Courier-Journal I


The Governor has pardoned Robert
Atwood There were reasons which
moved him beyond the ever ready plea
of sentimental eemency, though, in
this case, that presented itself with
more than common urgency and force
The ctfense, or series of offenses. for
which Atwood was originally convict
ed and sentenced. were a exceptional
in their character as they we're limited
in their range. affecting principally. if
not exclusively, a small body of rea-
tives and friends These have long
ago forgiven him They united in an
appeal for pardon
The man, indeed, was speculation
mad He had literally g1mbled every
thing away in the vain hope of recover
ing all His punishment has been
severe, aud, in our opinion, sufficient
The loss of fortune, fame and home,
attended by six years of confinement
to one who was born and reared a gen
tlemau, and had all the instincts. aspi-
rations and tastes Of gentlemanhood,
surely outweighs any penalty which
the law has power to iuflict on one
having less to lose. The children of
Robert Atwood are connected with the
best people in the midst of US. They
are advancing in years, and it is not
G cd policy that they should be per
mitted to rest longer under the shadow
in which their fathers confinement en-
veioped them If there was reason
for Gov McCreary's Withholding Ex-
ecutive interference. there Is none that
we can see why Gov Black burn shou d
not extend il, and we are glad he has
extended it
We understand it to be the intention
of Mr. Atwood to quit Kentucky for
ever, and seek new life in some re
mote quarter of the globe During
his confinement he has been hard
student and worker, and has qualified
himself for efficient service in one of
the professions A mau of real abii
ty. with genial aud kindly impulses,
let US hope that, beginning life over,
he will achieve such success as is left
TO him, an honorable, useful and peace
full, if not the brilliant, career which
his younger manhood promised
God alone knows what he must have
suffered All of Us know what was
taken from him in the flush aud prime
of his days, aud, seeing him emerge
from prison, gray haired and broken,
altogether prematureiy old, who shall
not feel that 10 his person at least the
law has been more than vindicated ?
Who shall not sustain he wisdom of
the Governors release. and who shalt
not wish him well on the loug, long
journey he is going?

a DEFENSE of sL.CKBURN.
q Gard from the canadian
Hotel Keeper whose Guest
Ep WAS

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Sept s 8-M.
Mekeogh, late proprietor of the res
taurant of the House of Representa-
tives, prints a card here to day in the
National Republican defending Gov.
Blackburn, of Kentucky. against the
yellow fever charges He does not
base his defense upon the theory that
some other Blackburn was the guilty
man, but speaks of the Canadian
Black burn as we'll known to him as the
same who is now Governor of Ken
lucky. McKeogh says:
During the war of the rebellion |
was proprietor of ,he Donsjeana Hotel
in Montreal 1 was the headquarters
of the Conlederates in the Dominion,
and Black burn was a guest at my house
for years, aud 1 know enough of his
character as a manly maa. open heart
ed and brave. and as Of necessity ten
der hearted. TO deny the charge against
him that he would be guilty of so
dastardly an act. But when the charge
was first made, fearing In the excited
condition of the public mind, that he
would NOT fe6efve a fair trfaf. Dr.
Blackburn concealed himself | as
sisted him in so doing After time,
when the excitement had cooled down,
be surrendered to the Canadian qu
thorities He was admitted to bail
and stood his trial before a Canadian
Judge All the facts were elected,
and he was acquitted of the charge
The evidence was submitted 10 Presi
dent johnson, and he was. like others
engaged in the rebellion. pardoned
The fact of Dr. Black burn hiding
from the Canadian authorities is new
The statement that he was acquitted
is an error. as, after an examination.
he was bound over to answer. but the
case finally dropped ou the ground that
it could not be reached by the Cana
dian law.

uIs Mothers Tombssone.

One of the most original and ex~
treme cases of swindling ever recorded
was brought to light in San Francis
CO court the other day. where it vas
shown that the plaintiff had had the
date on his mothers tombstone chang
ed, in order to make it appear that she
had died year earlier than was the
fact, as under the law then in force the
mothers half of piece of property
went to the children. The date given
as to the time of her death was six
days prior to the time change in she
law was made Baltimore American.

Shipment of Gold 10 the u. s.
from Europe.

The assistant treasurer OF the
United States at New York complains
of the accumulation of gold in his
vaults, and that, there being no de.
maud for gold. he can scarcely find
room enough for its safe keeping. exs
cept by encroaching upon the room
assigned to the storage Of silver His
com plants will find an echo in the
hearts of every American citizen; for.
of all earthly things, gold is the one
thing which we do not want. 1t is
absolute dross on our hands We
cannot use it as a money medium, for
nobody wants gold morey when he
can get good paper money; we cannot
utilize it for manufacturing pur
poses, for we are unhappily not ali
rich enough yet to eat from gold
plates; nor can we ship and reship it
for exchange, for its weight makes the
freight too expensive. What, then,
shall we do with it? We must bury
it in expensively constructed vaults,
where 1t may be unused till the day of
judgment. 1t would be infinitely bet
ter if Europe would send US anything
but gold. On the other hand Euro
peans look upon this shipment of gold
from their side of the water to this
side with fearful eyes. To them gold
is altogether an essential factor in their
finances, and withdrawal of few
millions of the metal from the Bank
of England, or the Bank of France, or
the Imperial Bank of Germany, stirs
the heart of all the nations and pock
cts of Europe TO their innermost depths
Hence their disconsolate looks at every
shipment of gold to our shores Even
SO sedate ansorgan of the British peo-
pie as the London Times tries to con-
sole its readers on this phenomenon
by the marvellously acute suggestion
that 'in the course of time some more
gold will doubtless be shipped from
here to the United States, but it is i'm
portant to remember that whether it
pays to send it or not, even as mere
speculation, depends upon the market
rate of discount hero, as well as upon
New York exchange on London. -

of European countries is largely in

cades, beer has been rapidly gaining
favor in Latin countries. Beer saloons

Deduct from this the amount due
the school funds, and it will be seen
that the State of Kentucky has in
money and available stock (Which may
be quickly converted into casb) the
sum of S910,617 05
The whole Indebtedness of the State
is $4,000, 1894, consisting almost en-
tirety of bonds neld for the benefit of
the Agricultural College, aud which
are not payable until 1894 5 and 6
The present difficulty seems to be
that, while the State has ample funds
on hand with which it could pay every
dollar of it's Indebtedness aud meet
every claim, the money is SO held 10
the Treasury that the law does not
authorize it to be transferred to the
revenue proper to be used 10 paying
these ordinary claims. 1t was thought
by the Legislature that the current
receipts from revenue sources would
be ample to meet the current demands,
but scarcity of money among the
people has prevented the prompt coll
lection of taxes, and the Auditor, ur-
der the law, has been forced to take
judgment against sheriffs to amounts
in the aggregate, exceeding 100000
This money may, however, find its
way into the treasury af any time.
The Legislature of 1876 reduced the
revenue tax five cents on the 800 on
twenty five cents per cent. of the orig
inal amount assessed for ordinary ex-
penses. [. is in a great measure re
sponsible for the present condition Of
the finances OF the State, SO far as re
CARDS the stoppage of the payment OF
claims. A general shrinkage in val
ues, and, notably, reduction of fifty
per cent. in the amount received as tax
upon railroads-owing to the law
equalizing the taxation and repeating
the uniform valuation of $4,000 per
mile-are among the chief reasons
Why there is an insufficieney of avail
able funds DOW in the Treasury
In the last four years the Legisla
ture has held but two sessions cir
cumstance that has not occurred in any
other four consecutive years since the
adoption of the present constitution.
and by reason of this. perhaps, several
hundred thousand dollars have been
saved to the State
An examination Of reports of the
Superintendents of Luuaiic Asylums
will show that in consequence of law
passed in 1876 there has been an i'm
portant saving. The 6rst year after
the passage the saving from the three
asylumns was $4,000.
A further examination of the man
agement OF turnpike roads shows a
corresponding reduction Ia expenses
and almost doubling Of receipts.
1t is, therefore, not because Ken
lucky is unable to pay, or because che
has heen lavish 10 her expenditures,
but because of the extreme caution and
prudence, if not-o of the want of proper
foresight, on the part of her Legisla-
ture.

What is Tanlrrlamye

The great bolt in the New York
Democracy is causing people to inquire
6 What is Tammany?" We understand
Tammany represents the Democracy
of New York City in organized clubs.
This organization is historic, and in
the history of politics in this country
has played grand and important part.
1t has always exercised powerful in
fuence, and years ago amounted ale
most to the absolute control of the
national Democratic party. We be-
lieve it has never failed to control the
Democracy of New York City, and
through the tremendous city majority
it has generally carried the State for
the Democracy. Since the days of
Boss Tweed certain odinm has at
tached to the name of Taumany, and
yet it has maintained a suihciency of
power to control the city elections.
The people of the counry, in all the
States, among Democrats as well as
Republicans, have come to regard the
very name OF Tamma6y as the syna-
hymn of political corruption, aud yet
there are prominent men-some of the
chief minds and characters of the
country who are members of Tammany,
who insist that they ought not TO be
censured for Boss Tweed's rascality
any more than any other political club
should be ceusured for the rascality of
any prominent member. They insist
that Tammany is nothing more or less
than similar to other political clubs
and organizations in existence in all
the cities and in all the States Such
men as Senator Herman, Sunset Cox,
Gen. Pryor, Gen. Slocum, and host
of other prominent lights, are Tam
manyites. The issue is now squarely
made. Tilden or Tammany must go
down, or both. If Tammany proves
that the State Democratic ticket cannot
be elected without its help, it is the
victor, and Tilden goes to the wall,
for all the bolt of Tammauy is because
of its opposition to Tilden. IfTilden
carries the State over the head and OPP
position of Tammany, nothing can keep
him from carrying it in 1880, and
Tammany is buried forever.
