A SAVING Of nearly one hundre'
millions Of dollars, az compared will
the regular Republican expenditures
has been effected since the Democrat
got possession Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives in 1875. This is but he
ginning Of the rctronchment and re
form measures that will be adopted
when the Democrats get the entir,
control Of the government, and i
therefore behooves every tax. payer, al
least, TO aid in bringing that party in
to power. That Hancock and English
will be elected, there is scracely Q
doubt; but a Democratic Presiden.
unless backed by a Democratic Con
gress, can do but little. and the Re
publicans, recognizing this fact, arr
making their main fight to secure 4
majority in that body, They are
making extravagant claims and using
money freely to accomplish this, but
il the Democracy will do its duty, and
arouse itself to the importance OF the
contest, il can aud will put an end to
Radical rule, with its corruption,
tbievery aud extravaganza.
SrEsKING of the Ike Arnold case,
the Bowling Green Iateligencer says
that the beauty of the thing is that
the Governors prerogative Of pardon
lug does not extend to such cases.
With such a Governor ms now aiilicts
this Commonwealth, we would be glad
to know that such is the truth, but un.
fortunately the Constitution grants
almost unlimited power to the Gov
ernor in that direction. Section 10 of
Article 3 declaring that he "has pow
er to remit fines and forfeitures, grant
reprieves and pardons, except in ca
ses of impeachment" This would
seem to indicate that il is within his
prerogative, but we dare hun to as
sert it.

tor which he was tried three times.
The first jury hung; the second gave
him eight years in the Penitentiary,
but for some reason the verdict was
