The people thought that for Reform

Ny party saii was too good
And acted kind o shy.
And prophesied as how wouldn't

But the people were mistaken

only shouted for Reform
Before election day;

Would let the party bust.

And shouted 60 ahead -

Yes, I'm all right when you know me,
Just retain that in your mind,

have died out, and not having been inn
mediately replaced, all that work must
now be done. Naturally, the Square is
lovely spot, and in bygone years It was en-
circled by beautiful row Of trees, extend
ing up Governor and Capitol streets and
running down Ninth and Bank streets.
Most Of these trees have either been
killed or have died out, and only q strag-
Cling row remains. All the missing trees
should be replaced. Formerly there were
many flower beds on the Square. There is
noreason why they should not be immedi-
ately restored. While Richmond is sue
ceeding in making elegant parks out of
ragged hillsides, it is but right that the
State authorities should be moved to inn
prove grounds TO which nature has been
lavish. This seems TO be the idea of Ma
jor Gaines, and he is steadily going ahead
to improve the Square and make it some
thing like it used to be.

Pnrdoned After Thirteen Years Ser

Governor Lee yesterday pardoned a
colored man named Samuel Ashley, who
was convicted in May, 1875, of murder
in the second degree and sentenced to
eighteen years in the penitentiary. Ash
ley had difficulty with another colored
person and in a moment of passion killed
him. The application for the pardon
was signed by many of the Jurors who
tried the case and by other persons who
inclined TO the opinion that the ends of
Justice had been met, especially as Ash
ley has always conducted himself proper
ly since his incarceration.
