Governor Porter, OF Indiana, closed his
administration by granting pardon to a
life prisoner in one OF the Indiana pris-
ons. The mere fact that the last official
act OF the out going Governor was the
granting Of pardon is not of sufficient
importance that it should be particular
izod, but the circumstances connected
with this case give it peculiar interest
from the part that superstition played IN
the pardoning OF the criminal.
1t seems that Governor Porter took an
extraordinary interest in the young man.
He had no friends on the outside OF the
prison, and the circumstances connected
with the murder with which he was
charged leaned rather on the side OF self
defense. Butby thewcll known perversity
Of juries the man was condemned to life
Of eternal solitude within prison walls.
The case prayed upon the mind OF the
Governor, and a few days before his term
expired while doing on q lounge vision
appeared to him. lie dreamed he saw
this young man standing at the foot OF his
lounge with outstretChed hands appealing
for mercy. The Governor mayhave been
superstitious aud he may not, but at any
rate heacted on the impulse ofthe spectral
visitation and the next morning filled out
pardon for the young man, adding to 1t,
as present, comfortable purse OF $50.
This may be all well enough, but it is a
dangerous precedent. II this fact comes
to the knowledge Of the friends of life con-
yicts in the various penitentiaries Of the
country they may perform ghostly visits
to the several Governors Of the States and
work upon the credulous imagina.
tons Of some Of them with good
effect. We sincerely trust that
Governor Jackson's last days may be days
Of peace, and that no apparition may dis
turb his calm repose. Webelieye it would
take something more substantial than a
ghost 10 impress the Governor, and this is
why we rest in perfect security, knowing
that he will do nothing unless bis eyes are
open and he sees material, not ghostly
forms pleading for clemency.

democratic politician from up in York

He says the rural democrats up there are

guillotine at a livelier rate. He said, in re-
gard TO the course of First ssistant p, stmaster
General Stevenson; 81 saw a statement, the
other day which said that ii the postmaster
general kept the work up as rapidly as be
was now doing it would require eight years
in which to change all the postotiices, and
four years stler the present administration
has gone ont Of existence. tits true there have
been several hundred, perhaps, new pos'mast-
ers appointed in New York state within the
last month or so, but they come too late. If
the postmaster general had made general
sweep during the month of March everyone
would have been satisfied and the man lucky
enough to receive the appointment would
nave heen patted on the back by his demo-
cratic associates. Now, however, there are a
dozen candidates in the field for every little

who get lett are thOrns in the side of the
