Figures to Show That Governor At
kinson Is Breaking All Previous
Records in the Matter of Executive
Clemency.

Special to the Register.
Charleston W. Va, April 6.-Dur-
ing the terms of Governors Fleming
and MacCorkle some of the Republic
can papers of the State criticised them
very severely for pardoning so many
people out of the penitentlary, and ad-
vocated the enactment of law taking
the pardoning power out of the hands
of the Governor and placing 1t IN a
board of pardons, whose duty II
should be to consider all applications
for pardons and grant such as they
thought proper 1t was believed that
these Democratic Governors were
abusing their power by releasing so
many people from the penitentiary.
A comparison of the number OF par
dons issued by Governors Fleming.
MacCorkle and Atkinson shows that
the latter has granted more pardons
than both of the two former Governors
together for the time in which he has
been in office For the first thirteen
months of Governor Fleming's term
he pardoned ten convicts. Governor
MacCorkle. during the first thirteen
months. pardoned the same number,
ten. During the first thirteen months
of Governor Atkinson's term he par
doned forty three, more than twice as
MANY as were pardoned by Governors
Fleming and MacCorkle in the same
length of time.
There are never any applications for
pardons pending when Governor Is
inaugurated. it being the custom OF
the Governor to clean up his office and
dispose of all applications for pardohs
before he turns it over TO MS sue
cessor. Consequently no Governor can
say that he had to dispose OF the ac--
cumulations of his predecessor.

been finished.
Among the very interesting matters to
be considered al the present term Of

which large number of local wholesal-
ers and retailers are interested. The
cases grew out of the alleged discovery by
revenue officers that local firms We're SELL

tax. The government officials compelled
nineteen iobbers and retailers 70 pay the
tax. The government is defendant in the
present action which is brought by the
udneteen firms for the recovery Of the
money paid in the form of taxes. Several
thousand dollars are involved
The trial of the cases will bring num-
her of prominent revenue officials to this

THE OHIO RIVER RAILROAD.

Yesterday the Ohio River railroad
had so far repaired its bridges, tres
ties and roadway generally that trains
were pushed through to Kenova on
time and communication again opened
between this city and the people along
the Ohio river There was practically
no communication among the river
towns with the outside world for two
weeks. To say that they were worse
than dead from business standpoint
is not too strong Then there was
much priyation also because of the alb
sence of facilities to supply daily and
needy wants.
Vice President Burt, and the rail-
wav management generally, is TO be
congratulated that the road is again
open for business. They also deserve
the cordial thanks of our merchants
and the people of the towns below for
their heroic work in so quickly re-
pairing the great damage done by the
high waters.
In this connection the Register is
reminded quite forcibly of the cenven-
fence and benefits which the building
of the Ohio River road has conferred,
and the debt of gratitude due the orig
inator and principal promoter in the
work. If it had not been for eX-Sen-
ator Camden's energy and steady de-
termination to have the road built ii
