owas. convicted and Governor
Bussell-has pardoned bim. The
Oxford ledger, a conservative
and responsible paper, says of the
matter:
oThe jury that tried Harris was
composed of members of the
different parties, and Solicitor
Bynum argued ably and earnestly
that he was guilty according to
the bill of indictment and Harris
was conyicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary for two years by
Judge McIver... He appealed to
the Supreme Court, the judges of
which court are non-partisan, and
they efirmed the sentence of the
court below. By the time this
decision was hunded down, to the
utter astonishment of our law~
abiding citizens the Governor
issued his pardon. Was if all pre-
arranged that Harris should noi
enter the penitentiary ?
»*Governor Russell in his inaug
~oral addrees was particularly
severe on lynch law, and we also
are opposed to the exercise oi
that kind of violence for the sup-
pression of crime; but the indis-
creet use of the pardoning power
by the Governor, however muca

lynch law, is calculated to encour.

not have been just. But here is

a great wrong upon society. Here
a bill was drawn by a Republican
solicitor and the case pressed to a
conviction by the same. officer,

him, but they do not appear.

And thus, Death is not really so
much the summoning of those
who die to a new life in a celestial
realm, as itis summoning of those
who liye to a new life in this
earthly realm. On them now de-
scends the mantle of an old gene-
ration. On themT now falls the
stress &od cries ot battle. It is
for them to show that the Jabor
that has toiled se -long, the love
that protected them in childhood,
the opportunities that now fa!l to
them, haye not been wasted,
misspéent and turned to no ac-
count. They whom we lay in the
srouod are stilt for a time as
much with us as if they were
simply gone on a journey, or
were as!eep in their bed at home.
We see them not, except in
poought. We hear them not, ex-
captin memory We take counsel
of them ouly; by recaling their
warplogs and their qualities. But
In a spiritual sense they are wit:
us stil} ; they are in us sullT; they
can strengthen our hearts and
inspire our enervies. And if they
die like the grass that is cut by the
mower"it is we and our hatdness
and unkindnéss that are guilty of
their second death."Frederick
