called st. Patrick, as q simile of the
Trinity. When he could not make the
people understand him by his words,

The Postm aster Generalshlp.

Postmaster General Key, having re-
gncd TO take @ United States District Judge
ship in Tennessee, much speculation is in
dulged in regard to his successor. No seclec-
sion has yet been anIo unctd. The friends cf
Post master james, Of New York, say that he
could have the place on civil sc1vicc grounds
but that he would be very foolish to take it,
to be cabnate officer for year and then to
be stranded. The friends Of Gen. Tyner. first
assistant postmaster general, think that he
has very favorable chances Of being promoted
to the place which he once filed so accept
ably.

rules as shall in their judgment subserve

ization Of the party.

An Irish Pastoral,

The Catholic archbishop of Dublin, in
Of pastoral, says. Doctrines destructive of mu.
tual confidence are laid down by some public
speakers as the first principles Of morals. Pa
triotism is invoked as a spirit Of disunion be-
tween priests and people, The evil geuius Of
Comunism, which has brought such fearful
woes on other lands, is only watching the op.
portunity which that disunon may give it to
try and establish its hidcous throne among us
Our people have yet many wrongs. Our ed
ucational sy"tem is imperfect. Our land laws
though reformed, can still be employed as
instruments Of great injustice, and we must
use every means in which Gods blessings
can be invoked to redress these wrongs.

Advices from Harrisburg, Pa., of April
~, state that the board OF pardons, after half
hour Of private consultation. recommended
the pardon Of Kemble, Crawford, Salter, Pct
rolf and RumberSer, in so far as their impris-
ment is concerned. The recommendation is
signed by the whole board, nstw outstanding the
fact that Palmer wasn't present. The recon-
mendation is substantially as follows: That
tse act of 1874 provides for simple imprison-
lAcnt and that there is no law ior the imposi
ton of additional conditions in a sentence,
such as imprisonment at separate and solitary
confinement and hard labor. The supreme
court have often decided those enlarged SEN
tences unlawful, and common law impris
onment in the penitentiary has been re.
garded as Infamous. As these are offenses re-
Gently nadc punishable, and the first convic
tons under the new law, the board recon-
mends as above. The pardons in the corrupt
solicitation cases were made out signed by the
governor and taken to the sheriff of Dauphin
county, whe took the papers into court. The
Judge after examining them called attention
to the fact that sentence as received in the
pardons read hard labor" whereas he had not
used the word "hard" at all. He directed that
they be corrected at the State department by
striking out the word ''hard," and that on be.
ing presented again to the sheriff the latter
should releas tho prisoners. The papers were
then presented to the sheriff and the fines and
espt amounting to $6,92l having been paid the
prisoners were released, and departed for their
homes
