The governor Of Kentucky has res
pitsd William Patterson, the Colored
man, who is in Jail in Louisville under
sentence of death for the murder of
Jennie Bowman, white servant girl,
last April. His execution was set for
yesterday but he will now have new
lease on his life for thirty days Ac-
cording to the dying confession of Turn
sr who was hanged for the murder,
Patterson is not guilty, and his at
torneys have made strong fight to
save his neck. If the case was any,
where else than in Kentucky, and the
accused white Instead of black he
would havo bsen set free long ago.
Even in prejudiced Louisville public
opinion is very much inclined toward
the belief that Patterson is innocent. It
il understood that communion of the
sentence is not probable but that the
governor will either grant or refuse a
full pardon. Since there is doubt as
to the guilt of the prisoner, we hope
the governor will give him the benefit
of it and pardon him. We do not wish
to shield criminals when they are
black any more than when they are
white, but in this case, as in most cases
of the kind, the crime was only great
one, because the criminal happened to
be black man and the victim white
woman. Very much worse cases arise
almost every day in this vast country
and no notice is taken of them beyond
the immediate vicinity of the crime.
One man has been hung for this crime,
who confessed to be guilty and at the
same time confessed that Patterson was
not guilty. If Patterson is guilty, there
exists room for grave doubts Of his
guilt; and. if it would be an error on
the part of the governor to pardon him
at least he would err on the side Of
mercy, and tbs much better that ter
criminals should 90 free than that one
Innocent man should suffer.

SHORTY after the Hay market riot the
Tribune started movement to erect a
monument TO the officers who lost their
lives on that occasion. A prize
of 800 was offered for a design
for the same. The cut which
appears in this issue is from the
design which won the prize. It is the
work of Mr.. Charles F. Batchelder Of
the Graphic Illustrating Co., of st. Paul,
who formerly lived In this city and was
newspaper reporter. The design,
though simple is bold and striking IN its
conception. It represents policeman
standing on q large pedestal, with one
arm extended, and one foot placed a
little ahead of the other. In the other
hand IS warrant. On one side is the
simple inscription. The Law Lives:''
on the other sides will be carved me-
mortal inscriptisns.,
Prof. Swing lectured at the Library
Assoc iation's rooms Saturday night to a
crowded house. The rooms are rather
small and the people were packed like
sartiines in . box. After some sweet
music, solos by Mrs. ]. B. French, and
DR.. G. =. Bentley; F. L. Barnett, ESQ,
president Of the Library Association,
introduced Prof. Swing, who delivered
q fine lecture, choosing Utility as hi.
subject. AS the APPEAL man arrived
rather late he did not hear the whole
of the lecture, but one remark of the
speaker he thought especially applica-
BILE to some of our old folks. Prof.
Swing said There are numbers Of pee
pie who pretend to be very pious; they
go through the world with long drawn
faces. They see nothing beautiful in
life; they condemn every innocent
amusement. Dancing is worse than
murder, theatre going terrible crime.
Yet these same people, should they
happen to be in London or Paris where
they thought no one of their acauaint.
ances would see them, would dance
down the street behind q brass band.

double injury Of prejudice, he has only
to sit in the senate a few moments dur
ing a discussion in which some great
question like the Blair bill is up, and
see msn hrowheaten, bullied, tainted,
rldlculed and denounced; in fact, ey-
srYthing brought to bsar, except rea-
son, to keep Southern democrats in line
and prevent them from going against
the time honored, blood-stained pre-
csdsnts, that before the war made it a
crime for slave to read, and a matter
OF Indifference whether the poor whites
Of the South were educated. There is
one thing about the matter, that our
Southern senators seem to forget, and
that ID, that you cannot shut out the
light Of the sun without making it dark
fol. all. Neither can you keep section
of the cou1ltry in ignorance without in
juring the whites as well as the blacks.
The Southern states are poorer, weaker,
less civilized; more sparsely settled;
more heavily taxed; their people, of
both races, are more ignorant; live, on
an average, shorter lives; have less lib
erty, and fewer pursuits of happiness
than the Northern states; solely, be-
cause they willfully and persistently sit
III darkness, scratch their old sores, and
brood over their old miseries. South
ern schools are fewer, poorer taught
and for fewer months in the year;
Southern newspapers have fewer sub
scriptions; Southern editors have q hard
time; Southern manufacturers make
less money, in fact, everything in the
South sickens languishss or dies, be-
cause bound in the triple chains of pre-
JUDGE, they spend half their energies
trying to suppress the energy of the
Southern blacks. They will learn, per-
haps, e'sr Gabriel blows his trumpet,
that chain always runs from the neck
Of the master to the limbs of the slave !;
that cruelty like an electric ball falls on
its victim and then recoils on The head
of ita Suthor; that the epidemic Of
moral de prayity ID contagious to whites
as we'll az blacks. and that bad grammar
in the Negro will cause bad grammar
in the Caucasion, that the wealth of the
one will be taxed to make up for the
poverty Of tho other; that the pain
caused to the slave by cruelty is shared
by the master in the degradation into
which its infection sinks him.
When the ground on which Howard

readers, as no game of ball was played
by the above.named clubs that day. A
game was set for that day between the two
named clubs, but Lexington, owing to
certain good reasons, could not keep
the appointment and sent word to the
Lynchburg club to that effect. The rule
is that when two clubs are matched to
play game and one Of the clubs fails to
appear on the ground at the time set for
the game the umpire may call the game
in favor Of the other club. Now we are
pretty certain that your club received
the word in time and that they were

was called in Lynchburg's favor why
did you not make that kind OF state.
