DEAR SIR: Your letter of the lsh inst. IN rela-
tion TO the pardon Of - is at haud. Unless the ap-
peation should show that the party wrongful
" convicted, or reasonable grounds presented TO
show that he was innocent of the offence charged
there would be little use to .sakc application for
pardon.
Over ten per cent. OF the convictions in this State
now are for assault with intent to kill murder in
the second or third degree. Every young fellow
thinks nov he must carry pistol TO demonstrate
his manhood. and the result is hardly day passes
but what some person is shot down by that class of
individuals IT i time that the carrying Of concealed
weapons and pistols by individuals is put stop to-
and the most effective way to do that, is when they
convicted Of their crime to let them remain in
the penitentiary. Honest decent people do carry
deadly weapons for their defence it is that disrepu
table class Of persons only who seem to think that
to demonstrate their Importance. they must have
one or two pistols strung TO their persons, and ON
the slightest affront, feel that their manhood re-
quires that they must shoot down innocent in
divilnal. to demonstrate their courage.

TO the miserable condition of aborers in Free
Trade England, touching the auxiliaries Of Eng
land in a spot. To counteract the effect, they
are endeavoring to discredit the statements of Mr.
Porter. Here is a specimen:
The letters written hy Robert p. Porter, and pub
lished in New York organ of the prOtectionists,
are beginning 10 find their way back to England.
Wherever they have been seen in that country, says
the Chicago Times they are laughed at as absurdly
inaccurate. From Leeds Porter wrote that there
was but one workinsnan in the town who owned
the house he lived in. and the highest wages paid
to wOrkngman thirty-six shillings n week,
and there was but one ease in which much was
paid The Leeds Mercury replies that hundreds of
workinsmen in Leeds paid than thirty shil-
lings week. and that many Of the best skilled men
get nearer sixty. As to the ownership of property,
the Mercury doubts whether there is any in the
United States where the working classes have done
much for themselves in Leeds. Porter's high
tariff letter writing is undoubtedly what he called
the commission of which he was a membcr-''a fraud
and a farce.

NOTABLE FUNERALS.
Burial of McGIoin, the Murderer and Ell
lott, the Pugilist.

New York, March 11.-There were two no
table funerals in the city to-day. Both we're
of the lowest order, and were attended by
the toughest OF the rough element. One took
place from his late home in Twenty-ninth
street, and was that of the stranged young
murderer, Michael E. McGloin When liv-
ing he was looked after by. the police, and,
dead, they still followed him. The cortege
attracted an immense throng, who followed
the coffin until little mound in Calvary
cemetery marked its last resting-place
The other was in the most miserable of
, the squalid part of Canal street, close to
Walker, and from wretehed, tumbledown
rookery. Early in the day the hardened
Bowery roughs and their equally hardened
gaylybedizened female companions began to
gather in numbers they thronged the little
square on which the house where the dead
man lay fronted and the constant theme of
conversation was "poor Jimmy Elliott" On
the second floor lay the body of the dead pu-
gilist, in a cloth-covered oaken casket
surrounded with flowers; over il
hung the mourning trimmings
that -hunQ ovor- tho holy of Cornelius J.
Vanderbilt when that scion of the million
. aire lay dead in fashionable hotel in Fifth
avenue. At 1:30, thirty men, pail bearers,
wearing high hats, white regalias and mourn
ing badges entered the room. Among them
were "Jack" Stiles, Elliott's friend and
backer Charlie Johnson, Jimmy McGlynn,
ex-Alderman Jimmy Dunno, Red" Leary,
''Shang" Draper, Chief Magin, of Phila-
delphia, and Matt Grace. They lifted
the casket aud carried it to the street. A
number of small boys began to cheer but
they were quickly hushed and the coffin
quietly borne to the hearse; then the order
of procession was taken up. Following the
hearse came the pallbearers and about 1000
men and boys; following were about $50
coaches. At the Seven th-street ferry to
Williamsburg four ferryboats made two
trips each to transfer the crowd. After the
; usual Catholic services at Calvary Cemetery,
Jimmy Elliott was placed in his last hole,
and the crowd found its way back to New
York. In the procession were James Lewis,
of San Francisco; ABE" Coakley, David
Dwyer, of Boston; George Rookie, Frank
=, White, Sam Colly, Mike Cleary, Professor
William Clark, Billy McGloury, Fred

BURNED TO DEATH.
Eleven Men Lose Their Lives by the Burn
ing of a Dakota Death Trap.

DEADwooD D. t. March 11.-Hoot & Scott's
lodging shell, at Brownsville wood camp,
burned last night. James Chalmers, Thomas
Finless, R. G. Wright Lewis Hanson, P,
Hanson, Harvey Wood, W, H. Andrews,
Charles Hammond, F. T. Peters, and S. Havs
were burned to death. -Four others, whose
names were not learned, were seriously in
jured;
The building was a one-story structure,
with loft where the men slept, accessible
: by a ladder. The house was usually
occupied by thirty dodgers, but last night
only fifteen were in the building There was
one window in the loft.
The four men badly burned saved them
selves by jumping Two of these must have
legs amputated.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from kindlings left near the stove, on which
Goals fell. Peters slept on the ground floor
within five feet of door, but the flames
spread so rapidly that he could not escape.
The bodies of the eleven victims were charred
beyond recognition.
