A paper was circulated here this
week asking Gov. Stone to commute
the sentence of Henry Sheridan to i'm
rrisonment for life in the State peni-
Tertiary. The petition was cheerfully
signed by all who saw it and similar
one will be circulated in almost every
neighbOrhood. The people of the
county think Sheridan less guilty
than Rails and are unwilling to have
him hung while Rails goes to the pen
itentiary .-Magnolia Gazette.
That is very common, but a very
erroneous and illogical reason. If the
rule is to obtain of sparing convicted
and. condemned criminals, because
some men equally or more guilty es-

Colonel James o. Broadhead, the cele-

Legislate for whom? The men? / think
the men prefer to, and are capable Of, legs-

argue, that she gets more justice, generosity

by women! If woman Is unwomanly and
makes a demand of that nature Of man,
he is wise to deny or avoid granting it to
her, as tendencies toward unnaturalness
should be discouraged and cuTbed the world
over. To depart from nature is to depart
from order, and to depart from order is to
depart from security.
