The Salvation Army has left Richmond.
After six years work in this city they have
folded their tents. as the circus does after u
days performance. and have stolen silently
away. They came here in January, 1885, TWO
months before the new City Hall was COM
menced. We still have the new City Hall
but no Salvation Army. Richmond with ITS
numerous religious bodies. was hardly good
field for their lnbors. and they have sought
pastures new" to convert the wicked.

The belief is expressed by some
of the leading journals of the State
that Governor BUCHANAN will par
don H. CLAY KING, the murderer
Of DAVID PosToN, at Memphis. 1t
will be remembered that KING was
sentenced to death, but Governor
BUCHANAN committed his sentence
to life Imprisonment. Perhaps no
man has ever abused the pardoning
power as has our one term govern
or, and the friends Of KING are GER
tainly not without some hope of Ill
innate success in their demands for
further executive clemency in be-
half of this red-handed murderer.
AS we understand it the governor
has intimated to no one what his
intentions are in the matter, but for
him to pardon KING outright would
create no general surprise, as it
would be simply in keeping with
his official acts ever since he has
been governor OF the State.
