COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. l1.-After serving
eight years in the penitentiary on life SEN
tence Corad Rautebach was yesterday par
doned by the Governor. The judge that sen
fenced Rautebach, as well as the jung and
prosecuting attorney, now believe that an in
nocent man was convicted, and but for Gov
Foster who committed his sentence to i'm
prisonment for life he would have been hung
He was received on life sentence from Shell
by county 10 April, 1880, for killing man at
Hardin, near Sidney, having previously been
sentenced to hang. His sentence was COM
muted at the time by Gov. Foster to impris-
onment for life. 1t is believed by those who
signed the application for his pardon that
it was a case of mistaken identify. After
being released he appeared at the Office of
Gov. Foraker aud in tears expressed his APP
probation of the clenlency shown him.

Tilden banquet in New York last THURSDAY
night, said the platform of the party oy 'ue
success of which he obtained his present
posi.ion demanded of a democratic admin.
istration to restore the spirit OF fraternity, OF
neace and good will among the men OF this
nation When Mr.. Villas was Postmaster
General he told ex.Congressman Gibson, so
the latter says, and which, when asked
about it, Mr.. Villas said he could not deny,
that no ex-Coufederate holding minor
position ia the Postofice Department could
be promoted. Does Mr.. Villas think sucn q
rule was conducive to the restoration OF the
spirit of fraternity, and of peace and good
will among all the people of this nation? Ii
he does, he is greatly mistaken; and nothing
il palmer than the fact that few OF the white
people of the section from which come the
votes that elect democratic Presidents agree
with him.

It is understood that State Senator Bib
of Louisa county Virginia, was promised, at
the request of Senator Daniel of his State,
the consulate at Port Hope, Canada. AS
stated in this correspondence yesterday, he
did not get that place, but has been offered
another position But the new place is at
Yarmouth Nova Scotia, and is not con-
sulate, but only commercial agency, the
pay of which is nothing like as high as that
of the Port Hope consulate, and depends
solely upon fees w. II. Robertson of the

referred to, has been promoted to the Port

It is the prevailing impression here that
the FIRE at the Mary Hall building last night
