A CONVICT PARDONED.
JUDGE GOBER'S PERSONAL INVES.
LEGATION AND SYMPATHY.

We learn of an incident that occurred
last Saturday that shows how humane and
sympathetic is Judge Gober for the unfor-
tunate. Martin Elrod was sentenced from
Dawson county to twelve months in the
chain gang for selling whisky. He was
hired to the Fulton county chain gang. He
had served three months when he took
the measles. On recovering, he took a
relapse and his condition was very critical.
Judge Gober knew nothing of his sickness,
but was waited on by relative OF Elrod,
asking for certificate 10 the Governor.
setting forth his sickness and to beseech
the Governor for clemency Judge Gober
told the party that he didn't know whether
the man was sick or not but he would in
vestigate and see what ought and could be
done. Ga Saturday, Judge Gober got on
the train and went to Atlanta, getting off
the train at Bellwood and walked out to
the convict camp. He missed the route
and walked out of the way, retraced his
steps and finally found the place where Ell
rod was. The man was found to be de.
lirious, didn't know Judge Gober, although
he was tried and sentenced by him. Judge
Gober saw that he was in dangerous con-
dition, emaciated and not likely to live.
He walked to the street car line, went to
the Governors Office and found that the
Governor had gone to Canton that day.
He wrote a long letter. detailing the cir
cumstances and condition of the poor sick
convict, and left. But he went back again
in the afternoon and found that the Gov
ernor had returned. He read the letter to
him and urged pardon, and the Governor
granted it. Elrods relatives we're notified
to come and carry away the sick man.
Few judges would show this spirit to help
a poor convict, but this is the kind of a
man Judge Gober is While he maintains
and enforces the law, and believes the
guilty should be punished, yet when cases
Of this kind show that there should be
clemency, he will put himself to the trou>
Die to see that he gets it.

Col C. C. Bundy, of Chicago, Declares that
Lincoln Was q Confirmed Spiritlalist

CHICAGO, Oct. I9.-In reference to the
statement made by Mrs. Nettie Colburn, of
White Plains. N. Y, published this morn
ing, to the effect that President Lincoln
was a s%piritualist. Colonel Bundy, of this
city, editor of the ReligiO-Philosophical
Journal, said to-day:
There can be no question but that Mr..
Lincoln sat in seances and repeatedly had
mediums at the White House.. / know
positively that through his Investigations
he became convinced of the continuity of
life aud or communication between the
two worlds. he was an unusually cautious,
discreet man, and, while 1t is quito proba-
bic that he received advice from the spirit
world, il Is also certain hat he never fol.
lowed il. 1t would have to conform to his
own better Judgment before being adopted.
1t is q fact, as has been stated,
that Lincoln had seances during the
winter of 1s64-G5 with Charles Colchester
and Charles Foster. the well-known
mediums, and l also am able to say conf
IDENTIFY that he held O seance with Mrs.
Nettie Colburn.
Mrs. Lincoln became O confirmed spirit
ualist. and 1t is within my knwoledg &c that
after the death of her husband she spent
several weeks ut different times IT st.
Mrs. Leonard Howard. O EOted medium.
1t is my firm conviction. aud that of
others, that but for her faith in spiritual
ism and the messages from the spirit world
which she received through the mediumsh.p
of Mrs. Howard and others, Mrs. Lincoln
would nave become hopelessly insane and
probably q raving maniac.

AN ITEM OF $4,000 600.

How the Government Appears to Be Out
that Sum While 1t Is Not.
Washington Special to New York Press.
Edward o.. Leach, Director of the Mint, is
the official who has general supervision or
all the mints and assay Offices OF the United
States, and who makes the purchases OF
silver bullion and the allotment OF Its coin
age. Colonel Leach was asked by the Press
correspondent to explain how the govern
ment has lost over S4,OOO.O0O under the
silver act of July, 1890, through the decline
in the market price of silver bullion since
its purchase by the government. He re-
piled: T.,
The total amount of silver purchased
under the act OF July IA, 1890, that is, from
Aug. Is, 1890. the date the oct went into
effect, to Oct. i. 1891, has been 62,OiS,l9 ~ line
ounces, costing S64,2 1853, an average OF
S1.03 al ounce. At the present market
price, viz 81 cents IN ounce, the same
number Of ounces of silver would cost $780,
1S6. 14S, b difference of S4,02i,G Cos: but It Will
be remembered that of the silver purchased
by law, was coined into silver dollars,
amounting to S27. COS, 40, upon which the
profit OF seigniorage was S4,626, S64. or more
than the entire difference between the cost
of oil the silver purchased and its present
market valne. These dollars. with the ex-
ception of the seigniorage. are held In the
treasury for the redemption of the new
treasury notes as required by law.
wv nile the present low price OF silver
shows a loss on tina value of the silver pur.
chased by the government. there is no rea-
sen to believe that the present low price
will continue, but every reason to believe
that the price will advance eyentua ally un-
der the operations of the present law.
IF bImetallism should be permanently re-
stored the value of this silver would be one
third greater than it cost. As o matter OF
fact it is not contemplated to use this silver
for any purpose other than the possible
coinage of silver dollars. but 1t is held in
the treasury as an additional safeguard or
reserve for the treasury notes issued Orlgl-
nally in payment for it.
The purpose and benefit of the act OF
July IL. 1880, was to utilize the silver prod
uct of our mines for currency purposes,
and instead Of coming the amount pur-
chased into silver dollars, as required by
the act of 1878. and issuing such coin, either
in the shape of silver dollars or silver GER
tificate5, at an intrinsic value far below its
face value. to issue in the first instance
legal-tender notes redeemable in coin OF
the exact gold value of the silver at the
date of purchase.
The question as to whether the sill
yer purchased has shrunk or increased in
value Is of minor Importance. The notes
now issued upon the purchases of silver
are ~full-value dollars, redeemable IN gold
mt the discretion of the Secretary, and hav-
ing behind them, at all times, practically.
ag"'i dollars worth Of silver bullion. in
adj on to gold and silver coin for their
redemption"
Secretary of the Treasury Foster said
that he fully agreed with the explanation
made by Colonel Leach and had nothing to
add to 1t.
