TINE MURPHY MURDER.

we regard the 2CtlOn OF the Gov
ernor in granting respite of thirty
days to Pat Ford and John MUIR
ply sentenced to death for partici-
patton in the murder of Cap. Muir
ply, last December, as unwise and
unfortunate. Since the day the
sentence was passed we have re
Trained from any comment that
might seem designed to excite pull
lie opinion. against these men, or
influence the Board of Pardons. in
the discharge Of their solemn duty.
On the application for a commute
ton Of sentence the case of these
men was to be finally passed on
and, the question of life or death,
determined by the Board ;; and we
thought that body should act calm
ly, judicially and undersno pressure
from an excited public opinion or
infammatory utterances of the press.
The case has been so passed on,
and the Board with a. petition of
three Thousand citizens praying for
communications before them, after lis
tening to the appeals and protests
Of the friends. and relatives of the
condemned men, with the tears and
prayers and pleadings Of that holt
est body of women, the Sisters of
Charity, interceding for mercy, the
Board found the facts of the muir
der SO atrocious, so inhuman, so
fearful aud monstrous, tina, thew
we're forced to refuse the petition
and declare that the law should
take its course. ta,., f.
After such a determination as
this We think the Governor should
have permitted the execution to 90
forward. Such a course on his part
would have met with the warmest
commentator of the law abiding
portion of the community, snd he
would have secured the plaudits of
the whole State. 4
His action in granting the respite
we know was prompted by the no
blest emotion that can move the
human heart, and We shall tax emo
part in condemning and denouncing
him further than to express our ap.
prehension that the reprieve was a
mistake. 5f @.E f}4
We do not believe that the Board
Of Pardons can any more legally
review and change its verdict than
a jury can, and hence there is no
earthly hope in the law for these
condemned mnrderers.. But, let us
bear in mind that they have thou
sandsof friends and sympathizers
among the elements Of our popula-
ton who hold the law as their enc
my, and who, to rescue the con-
demned, would not hesitate to re-
sort. to any desperate means. Let
the hcers of the prison, therefore,
be cautioned to redouble their vigil
lance, and if necessary, let a com.
mi'tee OF citizens be appointed tos
guard against rescue or escape. -.
God knows we do not thirst for the.
blood Of these men. On the con-
trary, If mercy in this case were not
a damnable crime against society,

Credit and cotton, these are the
two curses under which our agri-
cultural population seems forever
destined to "sweat and groan"--
Cotton and credit, with their atten-
dants train ofprivileges and servile
dependence, and TOO often suffering
and want; these are the sovereign
rulers of our people now.
We are virtually an impoverished
people under the dominion of these
tyrants. though living in as fruitful
a land, as was ever bestowed upon
his children by the Giver of all
good. Unmindful of the bountsous
hands wherein nature reaches ont
to us her abundant riches, we still
bend our backs in frnitless toll, un-
der the burden of debt and privi-
leges, not even so much as looking
up to receive the gifts and answer
with gratitude the beneficent smile
Of the all giving mother of man,
kind. Are we the abject slaves of
a custom, already grown too spirit
less and indolent to cast off the en-
thralling bonds of this pern,cious
credit system, which with scant ra-
tons, high commissions and privi-
leges is grinding us into the dust,
to venture on experiments of other
methods, that we know have bless
ed with success the efforts Of all
who have had the courage to try
them? u 1us5
Why can not our people devote
some part of their energies, at least
to raising those products which are
the necessaries Of life, rather than
buy them at credit prices, and let
only the surplus crop, if any be
