Tho Pardoning Power.
The showing upon which tho |
governor pardoned Ilriico and
May was as good as that upon
which most "pardons are based,
save in tho respect that it wanted
tho recommendation of tho;
Judge and solicitor, the two per. |
sons most competent to judge of
tho merits of the case. In our
pinion there are very few cases
in which executive clemency is
1
justifiable and we believe that at
least nine tenths of tho pardons
igned by all of our governors i
sinco is7?; and doubtless before
were abuse of tho pardoning pow-!
er.
Wo do not suppose that these |
persons wero pardoned because
they wero dispensary constables. |
it is an interestino t:i<n that oil

The attention of the people o

dr John I Koddev, of No?v York
vherehv a joint stock eonipanv is
o he formed to raise the prieo o:

When it was known then tha
le whs rpendinix a few days a

ie was requested to make knowt

Mr 1 >o<l I - v ii:i ''i*

hen compared the slavery ami

litions would exist always.
The cotton planters, said he
ire the only unorganized class o

llieir ability to organize has heei
ridiculed. Other classes iiav

Imuge t i *41??i! 1 *' or raise tin

Loti\ ? t'? prevent tile men of otlie
?'< ! !i>ie> from depre*dngtke prie<
?t co!ton. And hero we si! idh
by, continually discussing, I>u
never taking action to afford relief
lie then declared his plan, whirl
is this; He proposes to organize
i company inot a trust, as sotin
would like to call iti, each of w host
stockholders must ii^reo to reserv<
one hale in evei y four to he hand
led by the agents of the company
He showed how a perfected systeu
could obtain a better price for
product than could the producer
lis individuals.
I he company could not possihl
pay less for cotton than other op
orators on the exchange, and al
the pro nihilities are that it wouh
secure even a better price. Thi
fourth of the crop, and possibl
more, taken from the tivuilabl
supply, would cause the "hear'
operators to dread running tli
market down w hen thov could gc
their hands on the cotton to delive
it
Finally he said that he was no
affected hy the action taken in Co
iwiihmh. uegarmess ot politician
ho is going to push his sohem
through. The re<luction of acreag
would alToct the price only torn
poririly, while tho organizatioi
of this company would result ii
permanent good.
The entire audience seemed t
approve of Mr llodi ley's scheme
and, at the conclusion of h's talk
asked him a number of questions
which he gladly answered.
He returned to New York Yorl
Saturday night, but purposes t<
return in a few weeks, when h<
will have secured a charter. Thei
icwiligoto work taking suhscrip
tions and organizing his company
He realizes that he has on hand i
<tiij>endous undertaking, hut ha
the will power and will attemp
to make a glorious success of hi
