HARTFORD, Feb. 25.-The refusal Of Gov.
Hill of New York 10 honor a requisition for
Charles Pardon Of Waterbury, accused Of
theft, on the ground that Morgan G.. Bulke-
ley, who signed the requisitlon. is not the
governor Of Connscticut, is the sensation OF
the week in Hartford and throughous the
state. Everybody is talking about it, and
IL was the subject Of conversation on all in
coming trans
Gov. Bulkely was found In the ex~
ecutive chamber this morning, and the fol-
lowing conversation ensued: "Have YOU
heard of Gov. Eill's refusal TO send
back Pardon on the ground that you are
not the governor OF the stated"
II have not heard anything officially"
replied Mr.. Bulkeey.
what will your action he when you
hs'r from the governor of.'New York;
Probably shall take no further action.
although may give Gov. Hill piece of
my MUD. shall very likely say to him
that IL he Wishes to make New York a
dumping ground for Connections criminals
we have a number mere that we can seed
down, to which he Is welcome. thiuk the
people Of this state can spare Gov. Hin
number more of the criminals which infest
this state, most of which. by the way, come
from his state. am not anxious to bring
them back, and shall not order out tina mi
litia to invade New York. Gov. Hill and
the New York democracy have made
several attempts to run the politics of Con-
necticut, and 1 suppose this performance is
one of them, II does not disturb me in the
least"

Gov. ELECT Luzon B. Morris, who is In
New Haven, said this afternoon in regard
to the action of Gov. Hill in refusing 10
honor the requisition of Buckley: "Ar-
resting person on requisition papers would
be dangerous to the officer IL the papers
were not legal. II person were arrested In
this state on requisition papers and habeas
corpus were brought to take him from the
officer, the juncture would at once raise the
question as to the legality of the requisition
papers, aud perhaps with some subsequent
trouble TO the officer. The governor of any
state would probably hesitate to grant a
requisition In the present condition Of af-
fairs in Connecticut Gov Hill is certainly
discreet enough TO act properly. He has
followed the only safe course.n
