SHERMAN ON SUGAR.
His Protection Ideas.
Washington Correspondence of the New
Orleans " Picayune.n

Washington Correspondence of the New
Orleans Picayune.'l
He proposes to sweep away at one
blow $50,000,000 of revenue by abolishing
the sugar duties. He says that Louisiana
produces all the sugar. That the amount
is only 16 per cent of the consumption,
and he denies that this is properly part
of the protective system
At the same time he proposes to give a
bounty of cents per pound to the sugar
growers. But Mr.. Sherman knows very
well that no such bounty will ever be
voted by Congress. His bounty is only
mockery.
Mr.. Sherman also favors the reduction
of the tobacco tax from cents to cents,
thus getting rid of $12,0OO,0O0 more of
revenue.
In addition to this mode Of reducing
the revenue he proposes to reduce it still
farther by increasing the present protec-
tive or partially prohibitory duties in the
tariff

About the Respite. Etc.

1t is generally supposed that applica-
ton will be made to Governor Lee for a
respite for the condemned man, and the
impression seems to be that it will be
granted for possibly thirty days or such
time as the Governor in his judgment
NAV deem fit.
Now that the last hope is gone, and that
the condemned man is face to face with
death, it is hoped that the officers of the
law will protect him from impertinent and
curious visitors of all kinds. No one
man has the right to intrude upon his
privacy, whether to gloat over him or to
satisfy their own curiosity or that of the
public The life that so many have clam
ored for will soon be offered up, and the
few remaining hours he has should be left
him for meditation and in the endeavor
to make his peace with his God.
Whatever statement Cluverlus may
have to make before the last act in the
dreadful drama is over will no doubt be
furnished by him at the proper time, and
cannot be fOreshadowed or obtained un-
til he is ready to speak, if speak he ever
should.

Gentlemen.-I have the honor to say
that have given to your statements and
to the papers and petitions presented by
YOU. the prisoner, and Others for the eX-
ercise of Executive clemency to Thomas
]. Cluverius, the careful examination ana
considerate attention which their import
ance and the distinguished character and
learning of his counsel imperatiyely de-
mand.
The prisoner came from the Judicial to
the Executive department of the Govern
ment marked guilty" by judges and jury
starting at that point, therefore, have
been diligently studying the record while
industriously seeking information and
evidence from all other sources, which
might conclusively prove to my mind that
the verdict of the courts was an error, and
that therefore the sentence pronounced
by the Court of Hastings and affirmed by
Virginia's highest court, must be set
aside or cOmmuted with an earnest de-
sire to faithfully execute, without fear
or favor, the laws of the State
impartially to all; with the most pro
found sympathy for those upon whose
hearts this blow must fall; with clear
conscience that | am discharging my duty
to the people Of my State as God has
given me strength to see it, | now write
to inform you that have not been able
to reach different conclusion from that
held by the courts, and, therefore, the case
of Thomas J Cluverius is not one, in my
opinion, to call for Executive interior
ence either by the exercise of the par
doning power or by Communication of SEN
tence.
