PARDON REGISTERING.

The pardon granted by Jeff Davis to one Dr. Johnston, in the penitentiary for the commission of most unnat- ural and outrageous crime, is attract ing the attention of the country. Messrs. James & Fuller, attorneys for Johnston, mailed him letter saying they had received his pardon, but that it would be held up until he executed deed to them conveying all the property he owned in Eureka Springs, and that if he did not execute the deed the pardon would be returned to the governor. This is most extra ordinary state of affairs, especially as the Mir. James of the firm of James & Fuller, is political friend and asso- ciate of Governor Davis, and one of the members of the State Board of Charities.
 The inference seems to be indisputa ble that pardon was granted this man in order that his attorneys-who procured the pardon for him-might collect their fee. In other words, the letter of James x Fuller plainly said, no fee no pardon. The general im- pression and belief is that Jeff Davis grants hundreds of pardons through his faithful adherents, many of whom, no doubt, agree in advance with the victim for the payment of the neces- sary fee, and upon. the condition that if the money is not ready the pardon will be withheld. If there is any wide difference between this plan and the acceptance of money in hand by the governor, will some moralist point it out to us? As the World has suggest ed on many occasions, there is no depth of infamy to which Jeff Davis will not stoop to make friends or po- litical capital. But there is another side to that proposition, and that side is being carefully investigated by a good many voters here in Phillips county and elsewhere, and Davis will hear from them on election day in a way he will not relish.
