Robbiff at Lebanon.

L. I. Bobbitt spoke at Lebanon, last
Monday, to a large audience. A synopsis
Of his speech is given in the C0rie-JOur-
nal, from which we copy his remarks con-
corning the wholesale pardoning by Gov.
Blackburn. He said that 'the pardoning
power was incorporated in the State Con-
stitution to relieve against hardships, and
was 10 be cautiously and sparingly used.
lie was much opposed to the Wholesale
manner Of turning criminal loose upon
the country, and said that the people all
over the State should hold indignation
meetings TO condemn the action Of the
Governor. He said the people were taxed
10 death TO pay judges, commonwealth at
torneys, jurors and witnesses 10 send con-
victs to the penitentiary, and some of them
never entered the portals OF the peniten-
tiarY before the Governor pardoned them.
He said BY the law boy OF seven years OF
age could be convicted and hanged for
murder, and that Blackburn oyerrode the
law when he said no boy under IA should
be confined in the penttentiary. His re-
marks on Blackburn for pardoning preg-
nant women we're very amusing, and show
ed that IL offered inducements TO privilege
one crime by another. He said the par
doning power had not been properly exer-
cised. lie said the blood-stained murder
err, red with human gore, the incendiary
who applied the flaming torch 10 the sleep
ing mans dwelling, the thief that stole the
honest mans property while he slept, the
iorger and the rapist who had blighted
forever female honor, had all shared in the
sympathy Of this humane Governor. The
applause showed that the feelings 0: the
people were with the speaker and we
think Il high time that the Governor
should call a halt In this matter"

died in Crab Orchard, Monday night last.
from the effects q an excessive use Of
morphine. Several days before his death
his jaws were locked and his agony, I'M
less kept constantly under the influence Of
Chloroform or Morphine, was terrible TO
witness. His funeral was preached at the
Presbyterian Church, here, by Rev. j. c.
Caldwell, and his remains inferred in
Buffalo Cemetery.
PpER.-Elder W. c. Piper, a minis
ter Of the Christian Church, and a teacher
Of many years experiencer, died at Elder

Piper had made Lexington his home up to
September last, when he accepted the posi-

time. lie was a frail, sickly looking man
when he came, and we judge that the expo
