GOVERNOR Churchill, of Arkansaw,
recently commuLed the sentence of a
notorious murderer named Bland to
imprisonment for twenty years. His
victim was very popular physician,
whose only offense consisted in show
ing Indifference to the drunken bully.
Bland waited long enough to get per.
fectly sober, and waylaid the doctor
and killed him in the road. In all
the annals Of crime in that State there
never was a more atrocious and cold
blooded murder. Bland was sen.
fenced to be hung and the day was
set, but his lawyers took an appeal to
the Supreme Court, got up petitions
and came down to Little Rcck, and
induced the Governor to inter
fere and commute the sentence.
Much indignation is felt in the county
where the murder occurred, and this
was expressed last Saturday night at
meeting held in the town of Alma,
and emphasized by hanging the Gov
ernor in efigy,
