There was littlo OF interest going on a Z
the Capitol Yesterday. Many OF the State
officers had gone away Tor the Christmas
holiday, and many others were prepaIiIis
to celebrate the happy event. zen. nh an

ncmes to-day.
Gov. Tyler yesterday pardoned HoWara
6. Critchner. OF Petersburg. who was
serving one year in Jail for felony. HIS
term would have expired in January.
He also removed the political dsnbiii-
ties of Louis Sheffield, of the same city,
who would served d term III the city Jail
for unlawful shooting.
Gov. Tyler was busy yesterday wind
ing up TIE affairs of his office, prepara-,
tory to turning it over to Governor-eect
Montague on January 1st, and the latter
was arranging to give up his place 20
Major Anderson, and to assume control
of the Executive Department.. Governor
Tyler has a great many applications for
pardons atthis time of the year, but it
is understood that he will grant no more
during his term. There will be an early
rush on Governor Montague as soon as he
gets in, and many of those who have
failed with the present executive VIII
press their claims before the new one.
NEW CONDITIONS.
According to those who ought to know,
there will be no friction between the En-
ecutivc office and that OF Secretary of
the Commonwealth under tic new State
administration. 1t is said that While
Governor Montague and Senator .Eggle-
ston have. never been specially intimate
yet, their relations are iii no way strain
ed either personally or politically. and
that they will in all likelihood get on well
together. 1t is well known that there
has never been any great love existing
between the present Governor and Secre-
tary Of the Commonwealth, and it will
be recalled that not long since a wide
breach developed between them This new
condition OF affairs is wecolmed. so far as
the two new officers are concerned. as
thew are essentially close to one another
in a business way. and it is considered
as almost imperative for the good of the
service that the incunbents should not be
