COBURN THE PRIZE FIGHTER,
RumOrs of a Communication OF His
Sentence by Governor Robinson.
From the New York Times1

From the New York Times] .....
1t was reported, apparently on good
authority, in the city, yesterday, that
Governor Robinson had commuted
"Joe" Coburn's term of imprisonment
and that the notorious prize-fghtel
would be at large within few weeks
Coburn was arrested on charge of having
fired loaded revolver at Officers Tobias
and Jetfreys, of the Twenty-ninth Pre-
cinct. He was tried and convicted on
one charge, and in the General Sessions,
in March, 1877, was sentenced to ten
years in State Prison. Since then the
friends OF the prisoner have been unre-
mitting in their endeavors to procure
his release, and all sorts of sensational
stories have been told about the ex-
prize-fghter's suferings.
At one time he was represented as be-
ing only the merest shadow of his former
self; at another time the public were
informed that his reason had given way
under the harsh treatment he received,
and still again the statement was made
that-he would only be released from i'm
prisonment to become an inmate of a
hospital, as he had become a lifelong
Invalid. In July, 1878, an application
was made to Governor Robinson for the
pardon Of the prisoner; and, as is Gus
tomary, he wrote to the District Att0r-
ney asking for statement of the facts.
Phelps forwarded the facts, with a
copy of the testimony in the case, to the
Executive Chamber, and heard nothing
more about the matter until the 10Th Of
the present month, when he received a
letter from Lawyer Pearee, counsel for
Cobun, asking whether he (the District
Attorney would oppose an application
for the release of Coburn. MI. Phelps
replied that, in his communication to
the Governor in 1878, he had fully set
forth the facts in the case, and had
further to say in the matter.
further is known at the District
Attorneys office in relation to the al-,
legged release of Coburn; but this is notil4'
ing unusual, as, in nearly every case, the
first intimation the District Attorney re-
ceives of the pardon of a prisoner, or COM
mutation of his sentence, is from the an
in the newspapers. 14u
Coburn's friends and relatives emphat-
ically deny the statement that he is TO be
but the writer only few weeks
ago conversed with a discharged convict
from Auburn Prison, who stated that
Coburn had made all preparations to
leave that institution shortly after New
Years, and had already received an en-
tirely new civilians outfit, including a
'ilk hat. There seems to be no doubt
that the Governor has committed Co.
burns sentence, aud that before many
days have elapsed the notorious criminal
will again be at large on the community,

The MAine trouble is now about ended,
and the Republicans have secured their
rights by an appeal to the courts, the re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court being
in their favor. The situation at one time
was very grave, and it WAS feared there
would be collision between the hostile
parties, as there were two or three individ-
uals who tried to control the affairs of the
State. Governor Garcelons term of office
haveng expired, Senator Lamson assumed
to act as governor by virtue of his position
us president of the Senate. Gov. Chamber
lin, commander-in-ch of the state militia
was left by Garcelon in control, and he re-
fused to recognize Lamsons authority.
The Republicans captured the state house,
organized both branches of the Legislature,
and appealed to the Supreme Court for Il
decision as to the legality of their orgahi-
zation. AS previously stated the decision
has been in their favor and consequently
there is nothing left for the FusioniSts but
to acquiesce with as good grace as possible,
although men caught in theft can not be
expected to disgorge very gracefully. On
Saturday the Republicans elected Daniel F.
Davis as governor, and this virtually ends
the troubles, as he was regularly elected by
a body whose acts were legalized by the
Supreme Court of the State.
