TaERE is 9 growing opinion in favor
of law that will require that public
notice shall be made IN every case OF
application for pardon. As the law
now stands, the Chief Executive Of
the Nation, or Pardon Boards, are
petitionei to pardon a and b, or c
and d, as the case may be, without
the public, from which the parties
have been sent to prison, knowing
anything whatever relative to the
effort to obtain a pardon. Ii COM
plant is made after the pardon has
been granted, it is too late, and then
the responsibility or blame is should
cred On the officials who did the par
doning, when indeed it should be
laid On the parties who secretly got
up the petition.

If the Rebel brigadiers keep on a

committees III Congress to whitewash

! be necessity for close attention TO de-
tails in this contest is most apparent.
Ii is comparatively noiseless, but i,
should be made full Of activity. The
great end to be accomplished Is TO poll
every Democratic vote. The first thing
TO be done IS to learn the names OF all
the Democrats aud doubtful men. For
this purpcs. the blanks we're furnished
you, and "a far az you have returned
to me the lists to day send you copies
by mail. Send tie remainder as rapid
~ as possible. These lists are to be
placed in tie hands Of active nen in the
districts. | iueloso in each list a cir
cular describing their duties for their
direction. also inclose you copy
thereof. Make it your business to en-
ploy these men yourself. Do not trust
to letters. Go and see them, pay them
fcr their time in warning the diiatory
and for election day, aud provide the
means to haul tie slow men TO the polls
Ii is tetter to spend money 10 this way
than by meetings. Ii you have any
dOub, OF the meu goa employ tell Others
of our friends tina. you have placed
money in their hands. Get your de-
tailed vote for 1865 and 1866. Com
pare the two. This will show you the
districts likely to be slow. Give then
special attention now. Ii is important
to get reliable men In each district d,
not devote your attention to making a
specific majority, bu. look to getting
your whole vote. When this is don.
the majority follows. In very slow dis
tricts | would suggest special con-
tract with active men Thus, IN 1867
the district polled 100 Democrati,
votes, in 1866 100 Democratic votes
now for every Democratic vote over l II
polled, We will pay you fixed sum th'
day after the election. THIS is simpl,
an incentive to bring men out. for tn,
vote Of 1866 shows they are there. Sc,
that your agents have all Democrat
assessed. naturalized aud their take
paid. Let me know what l can do 70
you. Send forward this list rap'dle
BE very careful of this paper keeI
it entirely private. Respectfully yours

THc Riot Damage bill was voted
down in the House, and frowned out
Of the Senate during the earlier days
Of last week; but still with ali that.
1t persisted il intruding its corrupt
ing presence upon the attention Of
the Legislature, for ct the closing
session of the week, II the House it
WAS again brought forward. This
time It is in somewhat new shape.
It's friends now asi, that the question
OF the liability o. Allegheny county
under the act Of 1919 be submitted
u the Supreme Court for decision.
Again, that the question OF the la
bllity of the State for riot damages
be submitted % the Supreme Court
for decision; AID at the close, the
question OF damage Itself is brought
in. The question Of damage is to be
left to a committee to determine.
What Is the use Of har.ng 2 com
rIittee 10 lay damages before It is
known what tie Court VII DO
Ir the light O. declarations to
members Of the Legislature, that
there is. or was. $500 20 $1,000 IN it
for such as would help it through, it
looks as If they have the aud2city to
place temptation before the courts,
which every honest Judge VIII pray
10 be delivered from; for cnce the
courts are suspected, Il state 0. dis
regard for law VIII fall upon the
country, and On army viii become
necessary TO preserve order, snd
when an army becomes necessary al
sil times the Republic VIII have
reached its end.
The act Of 1919 grew out OF rel
eious riots, Catholic and Protestant
riots, that are In no wy analogous
to the riots Of 1877; but, should the
courts find iiabiilty under the proyi
sions of JS49, it VIII be time enough
then for the appointment Of com
inittee to lay damages.
II the courts deciie-which MAJ
Heaven forbid - that the bushes:
interests, and the industrial interest:
Of the State must pay damages aris
ing out of the work of bad men, il
will be time enough then to appoint
a COMMITTEES of citizens to determin,
the amount of damage the Stat,
must pay.
II is fundamentally wrong for ;
State OF county to permit the homes
industrial interests, and business IN
terests to be taxed for the outrage
ot bad men. No State can live Ions
under the application Of such a prin
ciple.
