Gov. Blackburn's denial of the

seems TO be n little bigger elephant
than the Governor ever held by the

After stating the case the Columbia
Spectator says: "If Gov. Blackburn
used the language attributed 10 him,
and his silence indicates that he did.
he has lowered the dignity Of his Of.
fee in n manner that calls for severe
rebuke. The people Of Kentucky
can not afford TO have their Chief
Executive stoop 10 the language and
methods of a professional bully, nor
even in hasty speech offer a premi-
um for assassination. Mr.. Walton
has, it is true, criticised the Cover
nor's official conduct with unnecessa-
ry severity, but whatever Of this was
unjust was harmless, and il did not
justify the course Re seems TO have
pursued.
Mr.. w. p. Walton. the editor Of
the INTERIOR JOURNAL, sharply ar
raigns Gov. l. p. Blackburn before
the people Of Kentucky. The charge
which Mr.. Walton makes over his
own signature Is serious. and it will
certainly damage the Governor. The
Governor Of Kentucky probably holds
himself TO be "a superior being" and
therefore concludes that any editor
who dares TO criticise his official con.
duct, is an outlaw who should be hung.

Mr.. w. Z. Walton. editor OF the
INTERIOR JOURNAL OF Stanford, comes
out in his issue Of the 9th instant,
with an ascetic article on Governor
Blackburn, in which he charges him
with attacking the freedom of the
press. In his article il seems that the
Governor is willing to pardon the man
who will kill Walton. This is GER
tainly a very excellent opportunity
for some Of Walton's enemies 10 get in
their work, as the Governor is 30 anx.
ious about it. We must agree with
the JOURNAL in the matter; for il our
Chief Magistrate allows his personal
feelings to carry him so far, we will
expect soon 10 have our rights taken
from US. We of course infer from
the Governors silence that he has bet
ter control Of his pen than his tongue.

friends TO save him from the consequences
OF his crime A bill OF exceptions was pre-
pared and presented 10 the Court in Banc,
and was elaborately argued on both sides,
and was unanimously Oyer-ruled. The next
move was to present the case TO the Chlet
Justice OF the District asking him TO review
the case, which he declined for the reason
that no proper ground was shown. Then
an attempt was made TO procure writ Of
habeas corpus from one of the Judges OF the
Supreme Court, which also failed.

which they sought toimpeach were strictly

for executive ClemenCy. The petitions

carefully examined by the President and
his Cabinet. and they unanimously decided
that there were no grounds for such inter
ference. The only ground raised in this
last appeal was the prisoners sanity at the
time OF committing the crime. They did
not claim that he was more or less insane
now than then, but simply asked that {

most of the latter part OF the night, not
sleeping more than twenty minutes at
time. Towards morning he fell into
sound sleep from sheer exhaustion. lie
rose few minutes after five and breakfast
ed heartily at G:30. When the cook took
his breakfast into the cell, Guiteau told
him to bring his dinner in at II O'Clock,
promptly. DR.. Hicks, who remained at
the Jail all night, was called into the pris-
oner's cell soon after he rose and held
consultation on religious subjects with
him. At o'clock DR.. Hicks saw the pris-
oner again, when he made request to
have q bath, and asked Hicks to

warden to have the trap sprung as soon
after - o'clock as possible. lie also ei-
pressed considerable anxiety lest some ac-
ciiCut should occur, and insisted that
Hicks should see that the scahold and its
appUrtenanceS were all in proper condition.
After Guiteau had disposed of these mat.
ters he read poem composed by himself
which he calls "Simplicity, or Religious
