THE OYSTER DREDGERs-Gov. Cameron
has extend clemency in the cases of the
oyster dredgers recently convicted of viola
ting the laws of Virginia and sentenced to
one year each i'll the penitentary
Captain George W. Johnson was fully par
doncd on certificate of the surgeon of the
penitenti;ry that his life would be endanger-
cd by longer confinement. Six other captains
had their sentences committed to GO DAYS in
the Accomac-county Jail All the seamen
but one are fully pardoned. Clemency is en-
tended for the reason that they were convict
eel uuder statute which previously had had
no practical enforcement. and which had not
prevented invasion from other States of the
rights and interests of Virginia and her peo-
pie in her oyster beds and it is not incred.
bic that these parties in view of the tempt-
ing and provoking circumstances NAV have
supposed that they were defending a right
though committing wrong. 1t would not
be right, the Governor thinks, ut any rate in
the present instance. to assign men guilty of
mere statutory offence to the ignominy
punishment which should attach only TO
those who have perpetrated crimes in viola
ton OF the laws of nature and humanity
The seaman whom the governor refuses 10
pardon is VIM. Larlsin, who escaped from
the Matthews county jail after setting il on
lire. but was recaptured.
