The Rribers are Pardoned.

The Pribers are Pardoned.
Harrisburg, Nay 1st 1880. The
Board Of Pardons met yesterday in
special session tor the turpOse of hear
ing the cases of pmbla Sitter, Craw-
ford, PetrOff and Rumberger: But three
Of the board we present, namely Sec.
retary Quay, Secretary Dunkel and
Lieutenant Governor Stone; but Attor
ney General Palmer hal already author
zed the signing of his name to paper
recommending the pardon.
F. Carol Brewster, Esq, addressed the
board. He said:
aware that when they previously come before
your honorable body, the fact that the applica-
tiOn for pardOns was made before sentence was
favorable action by the bolrd. Since that time
sentence has been passed and the defendants
are suffering, and, we may add, very severely
the penalty of imprisonment imposed upon
them. We have now nothing further to add ~
The commonwealth Was not repreSen-
ted.
The board went into executive sas-
sion and after deliberating about
twenty minutes the pardons were re-
commen ded. Immediately Recorder
Farr entered the room where the law
yers were awaiting the action of the
board. Holding out a paper he said to
the lawyer: ''Gentlemen the pardons
are recommended
Thank you, sir; thank you, sir, re-
sponded the lawyers.
The pardon papers were made out
at once and by two O'Clock had re-
ceived the sigma ture of the GOVERNOR.
T!is is the indecent haste by which
the great Grimm ais were pardoned and
Justice cheated out Of her dues. Let
the people make note of it who did
it.
This pardon however saves the
''roosters'' only from the penitentiary.
They must still pay the fine of $1,000
each and costs of suit, and are disqual'
flied for life to hold any Office of trust
or profit in the commonwealth.

A NEGRO'S ELOQUENCE.
and Escapes n Term in
the Penitentiary.

The Dallas (Texas) Times recites
the details of a case that certainly
presents some of the most remarkable
features known in the history of juris-
prudence in this country. This Oc>
Cured at WaXahachie during the last
term of the Ellis County District
Court. A cOlored man was indicted
for entering into conspiracy to MUIR
der. He was brought on trial, the
the evidence was strong, and, in spite
of the good fight made in his defense
by his attorney, he was convicted.
a motion for new trial was made,
and the Judge, seeing that no error If
law was made, and believing the evi-
dence sufficient. promptly overruled
the motion. When the prisoners
were brought in to be sentenced the
negro was among them. When ask
ed if be had anything to say why SEN
tence should not be passed on him, he
said he knew any thing he might say
would have no weight with the court,
as all the forms of law had been COM
piled with, and he must go to the
penitentiary, but he had something to
say for the benefit of his colOred
friends. and, with the permission of
the court, he would make few re-
marks. The court told him that he
would listen. The negro started off
slowly and deliberately, reviewing the
testimony, showing the inconsistencies
of witnesses statements, and then, car
ried away with the idea of wrong
done him, he burst forth in a strain
of eloquence seldom heard. When
he sat down the judge said: "Sam,
| thought you guilty; Idon't believe so
now, and will set aside the judgment
Overruling your motion for a new tri'
al and give you another chance" So
had the negro presented .
his case that the County Attorney |
the case, and the prisoner |
walked out of the court room free |
man. This is the first case in Texas,
at least, where a man brought up to !
be sentenced was turned loose. Ev> |
cry one present says that the effort |
was the finest one ever heard. The |
negro is uneducated aud a common
ield-hand.

CHATTANOOGA, May 6.-The Times
Of to>day, charges upon documentary
ana other proof, that Secretary MCra-
ry paid one hundred thousand dollars
on n fraudulent claim of Williams, a
former contractor under the war de-
partment, on Muscle Shoals canal
The charges are specific that the seret: =
~ paid this money against the pro-
test of the engineer in charge, after
the chief Of engineers had diSapprov-
ed the claim, and that he psid it on a
trumpet up report Of three engineers,
who were virtually directed by MCra-
ry to approve the claim. The Times
offers to make each and all of these
allegations good before a competent
committee of congress, and designates
some of the witnesses and documents
it wishes to have examined. He fur
ther alleges Il belief that MCrary was
q partner in the law firm which work
ed the claim through the department.
There has been very deep and de-
cidedly belicose feeling here and all
along the river on this subject, but
circumstances have so far combined to
keep the matter quiet. The occasion
of the initial ventilation now is a
Washington telegram in the Cincin-
natl papers ON the fourth, which ad-
mits that the claim and its payment
were parts of one AMI the same Job,
and charges the onus of the theft on
the engineers department, which is
purely slanderous.

Reciprocal Duties.

1t is the duty Of a newspaper to get
up the largest amount of matter for
its readers that its patronage will JUS
tify. 1t is the duty of good news
paper to promote every enterprise
that will advance the interests of the
town in which it is published. 1t is
the duty of live and enterprising news
papers to look out for and suggest
every opportunity Of advancing the
interests of its home patrons. 1t
should give the local, the political and
the general news, and II good supply
of select matter ofapproved literary
merit, all Us full and complete as its
patronage will justify. On the other
hand it is the duty of every citizen to
promote the efforts of the editors to
get up paper which will reflect cred
it on the town or city where it is pub
lished. They should not only afford
every facility they can for collecting
the news, but they should by their
patronage furnish their share Of the
necessary means to pay for collecting,
preparing and publishing the matter.
The newspaper is the drummer for
the city. 1t is the representative OF
the life, the enterprise and the busi'
ness of the city. Everywhere it goes
it brings credit or discredit upon the
place where it is.published. 1t repre-
sents lite and enterprise, or it repre-
sents dull stagnation and decay.
Without any specific words it COLI
veys the message of progress or decay.
The editor may boast in hollow phra-
ses of the growth and progress of his
section, but the wise reader looks to
see the evidence of life and progress
i'll the advertising columns Of the
paper. If business men are pushing
their business and showing their faith
by their works, the Intelligent reader
has faith in the representation of
progress, that is made Life and EN-
terprise draws population, skill and
capital, while stagnation and decay as
surely breeds an evil brood as stag
nant water does mosquitoes in south
ern climate. Tribune and IS,m.

Col. Frederick Grant, has recently
had a conversation with zone of the
most distinguished Republicans of H.
iinois" in which he gave as the trEe
reason why his father bankers after
third term, "that there may come a
time in the history of the republic,
when it may be to the vital interest
of the people of this country to nomi-
nate President for Il third term,
and when the precedents set by Wash
ingtOn and Jefferson would stand in
the way of the common welfare. 1t,
therefore, becomes important to get
that obstruction to the safety of the
Republic out of the way. My father
says he is in a position to make that
trial and win that victory against a
public superstition of dangerous pre-
eedent."

1t seems not to be generally known
that postal cards spoiled in the direc-

as stamped envelopes, if presented to
postmasters for that purpose. The
law relating to this subject is as fol-
lows. "Postmasters may also redeem
in stamps or stamped envelopes such

printing, or by other causes, and have
never been used, at the rate of four
cents in stamps or stamped envelopes
for every five cards, in whatever
quantities presented"

The New locomotive recently built
by the Baldwin works for the Reading
railroad company made Il formal trial
trip from Philadelphia TO jersey City
and back, with a train of cars, last
week, and successfully made the rum
ming time in ninety minutes each way.
But the engine was sent back to the
factory to have some repairs made to
the driving wheels, to prevent their
slipping on the rails. The maximum
of speed thus far have been seventy
three miles an hour, whereas the con-
tract calls for seventy. five miles, which
it is expected will be attained when
the difficulties mentioned are over
come. This pioneer engine is expec-
ted to become the type of the future
American locomotive.

Now comes the rumor of rumors, to-
wit: Victor Newcomb closed out his
L. & n. stock when it touched the
highest round, and that his agents in
New York are investing the major
portions of the proceeds in real estate.
If this is true, and he has managed all
the manipulations that were necessary
to bring about the present railroad
system under his control, and without
a share of stock, it shows him to be
one of the boldest and most successful
operators this continent has produced.
