Gov. BLACKBURN, inspired either
by the devil or possessed with an un.

the murder Of his uncle; David Fur

tanning money from the State Treas
ury on fraudulent claims. Then as if
afraid he had not done full days
work, he gave simple twist of his
wrist and Oden, the murderer of bis
brother.in-law, who was lying in the
Cynthiana jail, walked forth free
man. In regard to the pardon of
Kennedy, there is perhaps some ex-
cuse. He killed a very bad man and
his shot had much to do putting down
lawlessness in Garrard county, while
his own trial and conviction, after as.
tute lawyers had used every means to
acquit him, showed that the law was
still supreme and that murderer,
Notwithstanding his money and back
ing, was sometimes forced to don the
felOn's suit. True, Grove had played
a big hand while an outlaw, but the
outraged law had been in a measure
vindicated, and that bold, bad man,
as he was regarded, had suffered for
his sin almost in sackcloth and ashes.
Then there we're some paliating circum-
stances connected with his crime. He
imagined, whether rightfully or not,
that his uncle had treated him badly
and having been raised by him to take
the law in his own hands, when
wronged, he followed his teachings.
There may have been, too, paliating
connected with the 9TH
er cases referred to, though they don't
appear, but if there is any excuse un-
der Gods sun for the pardon Of de-
liberate rogue, one who is not forced
by a combination of misfortunes to
steal to keep himself and family from
starving, it has been invented by the
base imposition, who has for four years
done all in his power TO nullify laws,
increase crime and retard the progress
of Kentucky. Furguson's theft of the
peoples money was not done in sud
den heat of impulse, to be regretted
in cooler moments, but was system
attic day-after.day arrangement, that
would have been kept up always had
not his crime been found out. To par
don such man is an outrage on the
law-loving people of Kentucky,
which they ought to resent with gen.
eral uprisal of indignation that will
make the old gambler-loving, murder
er-loving, thief-loving imbecile stink
out Of Office feeling that he is hated
and scorned by every honest man in
the land. Thank God, his days of
office are few and that he will soon
pass into oblivion, save in the memo
ries Of cut-throats, murderers and
black-legs.

English Journalism.

From the London Letter.
The big writers are paid retaining fees not
to write for more than one paper. Then they
are paid so much column for what they
write. So wild and ungovernable is the edi-
torial mania that at least one paper-the
Times-keeps man in Paris at a salary of
ST. 900 year, whose business it is to send a
long editorial telegram every day. News !?
Not any. Nothing but his own private opin-
ion of whatever may be going on over there.
This dispatch usually has the most prominent
place in the paper, and sometimes it fills two
or three columns. 1t is the same system Of
management which induces the devotion of
not more than half or three-quarters of col
pmn to such paltry event as the fatal burial
of about 90 people in the ruins of fallen
mill
The editors cling to the long-winded edito-
rial business here because they think any
thing else would be failure and because
their grandparents had it that way. They
are great chinners about the dignity of jour
nalism, and they don't take into consideration
the possibility that paper which is all dignity
gets to be almighty stupid. There are few
journals in London which are beginning to-
dem onstrate the fact that brevity is the most
popular thing after all. Such weeklies as
Truth and the World, and such dailieS as the
Pail Mall Gazette, go in for short articles and
paragraphs, to the exclusion of the stupid old
system of telling things. The Daily News is
beginning TO fall into line, too, but that,
fancy, is because Labouchere, who owns
Truth and has made it one of the most valuable
pieces of property in the world, is also one of
the proprietors of the News.

called on Miss Clara Louise Kellogg, and
was entertained by her with several charming
Songs. Then he asked her if she knew, or
had heard. an old ballad, called "The Tor
toise-Shell Cat" She answering in the mega
tive, he at once sang verse of it for her, in a
clear, firm voice, and in manner that won
from her hearty encore.
