PARDON ED,

| NJ. M. Fortenberry, convicted at the
May term of the Circuit Court of Lawrence
county 1878, on charge of embezzlement of
| the public funds, and sentenced to the pen
| itentiary for two years, has been pardoned.
Mr.. Fortenbery was Treasurer of Law
! renee, and it seems the misrepresentation
of the funds was permitted, rather than
committed, by a kind-hearted, good
natured, yielding man, who did not have
the frmness and nerve to say no to those
who exerted q great influence over him.
His family is one of the Oldest, and among
the best of old Lawrence. His previous
character for honesty and integrity was
without stain. A petition for his pardon
was signed by worry large number, say
three or four hundred, including some of
the oldest and best citizens of the county.
The Board of Supervisors of the county
authorized u compromise with his sureties,
and the amount demanded has nearly, if
not all, been paid, and the balance, if any,
is well secured. The Board united with the
citizens in asking his pardon. The old
man is now bending under the weight of
many years and besides, is a constant
and great sufferer from chronic disease.
1t is quito likely that a complete execution
of the sentence against him would have
been too much for his impaired health, old
age and shattered constitution, and he
would have died in sorrow and disgrace,
felon, in the penitontiary.
His conviction and punishment has
vindicated the law, and obtained all there
is in an example, and our faithful and pop
ular Governor has tempered justice with
mercy, and in the judicious exercise of
that high prerogative conferred by the
Constitution has released M. NJ. Forten-
berry, that the remainder of his days may
be passed in quiet and retirement, where
the sympathy and society of loved ones
may, in some degree, soothe and soften
this great misfortune of his life, and where
kind hands may minister to him in his last
trying hour.
We endorse this exercise of Executive
clemency.

for the last two years was very bitter. Next
Saturday to-day another meeting of citizens
will be held near Caseyvillu for the purpose
OF forming military companies to put down

devilment should attend the meetino
Citizens from that section inform MS tbey

Governor for arms, but if he refuses IN
furnish them they will arm themselves and
carry the war to the bitter end. 1t must be
stopped. The preamble to the resolutions
recount a horrible state of affairs, and
should move all good citizens to immediate
action. A severe charge is made against tbe
court, which, it's hoped, can clear itself of
the imputation. The resolutions are
straightforward and manly, and drafted and
adopted by men who mean what thew saw saw,

New York, June 1.-The conviction OF
Benjamin Mayer, young merchant, for
obtaining goods under false pretenses, at
tracts much attention III business circles.
The tlrm of Hirsch h Mayer was formed
February 8, 1876. 1t appeared in evidence
that Mayer represented the capital OF the
firm to be $4,000, AMI on this statement
goods to the amount of $4,000 were pur-
chased from thirty-five dry goods houses,
during three or four months preceding
April Z, 1876. Mayer was sentenced to the
State prison at hard labor for two years aud
six months, and fine of $4,000. Assist
ant District Attorney Russell says that since
the conviction of Mayer there have been
applications made at the District Attor-
neys Office for more than forty indictments
in similar cases.
This is as it should be. Mercantile firms
of this Mayer character are becoming far
too frequent nor is the evil confined
to New York, The sudden failures"
which our exchanges weekly chronicle,
bear testimony that our own State, unhap-
PLY, boasts few. 1t is no uncommon oc-
currence for a store to spring up, as if by
magic, eclipsipg honest competitors, -four
ish brief season, and as suddenly topple
to the ground, burying beneath the debris,
the credit, good faith and commercial
standing of a whole community. Every
now and then we hear of adventures estab-
fishing in some thriving town a cheap
cash store"-an immense quantity of goods
are exposed, sales are made at rates ruin
Gus to honest dealers, and aftera short while
without warning, its failure is announced
liabilities $4,000, perhaps, assets $4,000
No one doubts as to the whereabouts of the
money-the adventurers have pocketed it,
swindling their creditors, and arc soon off
for new fields and pastures green, leaving
the town with its commercial reputation if
not destroyed, greatly damaged, Now, if
this new Interpretation was applied in
this State, these occurrences would grow
beautifully less and we hope the day is
not far distant when this Interpretation will
prevail
We do not wish to be understood as
CHASING all failures as bogus, far from it i;
too many, unfortunately, are genuine
of causes often bring ruin upon
honest men who are blameless, and they
have our deepest sympathies; but we do
maintain that the law should be SO con-
'trued as to infict the severest punishment
upon such sharpers and demoralizers of
commercial character as Mayer.

SUPREME COURT.

Wo publish to-day. an abstract of the
decision OF the Supreme Court last
Monday, in the case of Charles H.
Otkin vs, John s. LNmkin, County
Superintendent Of education, involv-
ing the constitutionality of III Act Of
the Legislature entitled can Act to
encourage tho establishment Of high
schools and colleges in this State" Ap-
proved March 9th. 1878. 1t will be
seen that the court held the Act to be
unconstitutional; which makes the case
one Of interest to County Superintend-
Gnts of Education and to many educa-
tional institutions of the State,
