Commissioner Mcfarland, of the gen

not necessary to consider whether the
lands were sold or disposed of within

pany was compelled to sell or dispose
of these lands within three years from

will be found an elegant affair, large
and pleasant in every respect. In
fact we are confident that it will be,

A1rnipg Nstss Of to-day, critlclsing
the action Of Governor Ball In re-
spiting Jeremiah Harrtgan until
December. Ifthe Governor has erred
he haa erred ON the side Of mercy,
and has only yielded to defering the
death bentence. We are for enforcing
the laws and suppressing crime
thereby, and the men who plead for
mercy for Harrigan ssy they are, too.
But we have no heart to censure our
humane, honest aud upright Governor
for yielding to the cry for mercy
for q condemned human creature;
and extending the time In which he
arrange for meeting his God. We be-
lieve Harrigan guilty-but yet his
neighbprs, among whom we class John
q. JAG ksOn, Esq, who entertained the
same opinion, aud who knew Harrigan
are among the gentlemen who visited
Governor Hall and plead for the respite.
We are not prepared TO say that the
Governor should harden his heart and
perhaps bear the feeling that he had
sent az erriDg fellow man into eternity
too hastily. We feel bouCd to say that
We fee that we should Lave done as the
Cover nor had done had we been in his
place. We know how highly the Gov
ernor values the action of the Courts,
and that he could not be prevailed upon
to set Ehe decision of jury aside with
out great consideration, and this We are
sure the Governor hhs given the case;
and we regret to see that his act is not
sustained by every reputable newspaper
In tie State. We are sure his motives
will not be questioned BY any one who
