WASHINGTON, Feb. 2e.-The Presi
dent has granted pardon to Francis
Reeves, OF Mississippi, now confined
in the prison at Sing Sing. Reeves
was convicted in July 1871, of having
violated the provisions Of section six
Of the Enforcement Act, for which he
was sentenced to seVen and one halt
years Imprisonment, and for man
slaughter, on which he was sentenced
To six years mere. Reeves was one OF s.
band of Ku klux who hung up negro
by the neck till his resuscitation was ?
work o: great difficulty. In the man
slaughter case he was accused of max
ing away with witness against him.
After his sentence the Supreme Court
decided that section six Of the Enforce
ment Act was unconstitutional. In
consequence Reeves got credit on the
last sentence for the time he had
served under the first up to the deci-
sion above referred to, and therefore
his term Of sentence has expired. The
Presidents reQuisitiOn reoites the fact
of the decision OF the uno0nstitutioD'

Act, under which Reeves received his
first sentence, aud grants the pardon

Fears That pennsylvania wiz MOI

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Thers is con-
siderable anxiety manifested by some
Republican Senators about the confess
at Ha, sburg, and the Republicans Of
that State are severely criticised for mel
uniting upon some candidate for the
seat which will be vacated on the 4.h
of March by Mr.. Wallace. This anxiety
indicates that some expect Senator
Malone to vote with the Republicans
in recognising the Senste's committees
and filling the Senate's subordinate Of
foes. II has been made plain that Sen
stor David Davis shall vote with the
Democrats in their attempt to maintain
their organization Of the committees.
Including his, they will have SO
votes, Just enc halt II Senator ma
hone votes with the Republicans, there
will be tie, which can be bro@en' IL
is said, by Vice-Presidens Arthur IL
was reported some SINE ago that q
friend had selected for Senator Malone
a sest on the Democratic side, in par
of the cham Der about hs far from the
Republicans as he could go.
It now appears that Senator Mshone
has chosen seat on the Repusiioan
side, and a seat which is almost as Tar
removed from the Democrats as any In
the chamber. In this seat he Will be
surrounded by the Republican sans
tors Hale, Harrison, Burnside sn0 NIL
Ter, Senator Malone would hardly
place himself so far from the Demo
Gratis if he intended to vote and ac'
with them.
The Senators who critio:5e the Rep1h-
1icans Of Pennsylvania say thst by
falling to fill Wallacs's seat on March
q they may cause the Republican party
to lose the control OF the Senate com'
mittees. 1t is TO be supposed that
these Senators have some knowledge IS
to Senator Mahone's Intentions. They
also say that MIR. Blaine should not
fail SO to act that a Republican Senator
will be in his seat to cast vote when
the committees are chosen, bnt 1t IA
generally believed that Mr.. Blaine Will
see to it that Maine casts two Republi-
can votes at that time, as heretofore.
So important an advantage as the
control of the Senate committees ought
not be thrown away by the Republi-
cans Of Pennsylvania. II is easy to
see how the course of legislation would
be affected by taking these committees
from the Democrats, who now hold
them by chairmen and msiorities, ana
so arranging them that Republicans
might hereafter have something to say
in COMMITTEES rooms upon the measures
which are prepared there for presen-
tstion to the Senate.
