Gregg Pardoned.

On the eth inst, Governor, jackson
Issued an unconditional pardon 10
Elihu Gregg, who was sentenced to
be hanged. Aspecial from Wheeling
to the Cincinnati Enquirer, says:
@The crime for which Gregg was tried
and sentenced was the burning Of the
Court House Of Preston county in
1869. The day before he was to have
been hanged he escaped, but was re-
captured about two years afterward
in Greene county, Pennsylvania, and
brought back to his State. On his
second trial the same sentence Of
death was passed upon him. He ap.
pealed his case to the Supreme Court,
which Court decided against him.
The last official act of Governor
Mathews was TO commute Gregg's
sentence to life Imprisonment, but
he refused to accept this act of Exec
utive clemency, saying he wanted
either liberty or death. Since Gov.
ernor Jackson's succession to the
Goyernorship numerous petitions
have poured in asking for Gregg's
pardon. After reviewing the case
carefully, Governor Jackson finally
decided to issue an unconditional
pardon to Gregg. The prisoner is
now in his scventy-eighth year"

County Convention.

A correspondent, this morning,
advocates the calling Of Democrat
ic County Convention for the pur-
pose of nominating candidate for
the office of County Superintendent
Of Free Schools, TO be voted for at
the ensuing May election. Ho gives
some good reasons for it. At present
we are not prepared to say whether
a Convention should be called or not;
but it does seem that if the Republi.
cans are determined 10 force this Of
flee into politics, and make it test
of party strength, that the Democra-
cy should meet them with a nomin-
alton on their part. We should not
permit the Republicans to take adj
vantage Of us. We hope the Com.
mittee will take the matter under
adyisement, and through this paper
let the people Of the county, and the
Democratic party in particular,
know what they propose to do, and
thus settle the question Of Convent

ing up our Schools with politics, but
if the Republicans choose to force it
upon MS by making a nomination for
this office, then there is nothing left
for the Democratic party to do, but
to call a Convention and nominate a
candidate also. 1t will not do to al.
low them to make a nomination, and
then allow two or three Democrats to
run independent, for such tactics
win insure the election of the Repub-
lican nominee. This county is Dem
ocratic and if party lines are to be
drawn by the Republicans in the
coming School election, then the
Democrats should meet them with a
nomination on their part. Whoever
the Democrats nominate will receive
the Democratic vote of Mason county,
and he will be elected as well. !

Evidences of An.iauity.

A wonderful discovery has been
made at the farm of Frank Perry, in
this neighborhood. The Coosa river
was higher than ever before and the
farm was completely overlooked, and
when the waters subsidized they did
so with a rush, which literally peel
ed off the top soil to greater depth
than it had ever been penetrated
with either pillow or spade. After
the overflow the greater part Of the
farm was found to be an uncovered
battlefield or burying-ground. Part
of the territory consisted of mounds,
evidently Notifications, strewn with
implements Of aboriginal warfare,
beads, and earthen vessels, and the
remainder was covered thickly with
skeletons, all exposed, in good state
Of preservation, and all lying in reg
ular rows. The place is attracting
crowds from all directions, and it is
impossible to prevent vandalism.
The field will undoubtedly prove to-
scientists one of the richest "fnds"
ever made on the American CONT
nent, and among the countless mum.

Convict Labor.

The following is the resolution
adopted just before adjournment in
relation to convict labor. There
seems to be difference of opinion
about the effect it has on the various
-industriesof the State. 1t only relates
to the terms of contracts:
Resolved 6yMc Legislature Of Vest Nr.
gia.ia;
That the Board of Public Works
and the Directors of the Penitentiary
are hereby prohibited from hiring or
letting the labor of any convict in
the Penitentiary for a longer period
than one year, unless the same be
let or hired for a price which, if oh.
tanned for each convict in the Peni-
Tertiary, will make the institution
self.sustaining.
The Superintendent of the Peni-
Tertiary advertises the labor Of one
hundred able bodied convicts, for a
term of from three to FIVE years. I'm
der the provisions of the above reso.
lation, the total expense of running
the Penitentiary must be divided by
a number equal to the average mum.
Der of convicts, and no bid for term
longer than one year can be accepted
at price below the quotient thus
obtained. II the bids are below this
figure, the contract must be for a
term not longer than one year.
