Jim Excellency 11 if an 11 Jlhllock: Governor —In compliance with the rrqu< st of your Excellency, 1 have made a thorough examination < f the records of the Executive Department, touching t lie action of the Department upon tie subject of paid. ns. Trior to your inauguration there was no analytic record k< pt of casts of tl is cl aracler; and the only iiifoi mathui that can he derived on the subject is the copies < f otders announcing pardons, scattered through the Executive min utes. From July 4, 18G1, to July 4, IS"I, x complete ricoid has been kept, show ing in foil the application, the evidence, te recommendation, and the Extcntiw action in each case From this 1 ascer tain the following facts : There have 1 ecu d■ ring that term of three years paidous fr —murder, 41, ol which 25 were pardoned before trial; murder commuted, 15; voluntary man slaughter, 24; ii.volin.t ry inimdangli tcr, 1 . assault with intent to murder, 30; burglary in ti e night time, 41 ; burglary in the day time, 11; simple larceny, 08; larceny from the prison, i; 'urceny from Ihe house, 14; larceny after a tmsl has been delegati and, 5; other larcenies, 24; assault and l alterv, 14; assault, 8; as sault with intent to commit rape, 5; ar son, 5; robbery, 8; slabbing, 3; cheat ing 3; swindling,4: incestuous adulteiy, 1; bigamy, 0; fornication, 3;ndnlt'ry, G; forgery, 4; perjury, 3; seduction, 2; kid napping, 1; bastardy, 1; rape, 1; bribery, j 1 ; compounding felony, 2; malpractice in office, I; aiding pi is mi s to escape, 2; road commissioner for neglect of du ty, 8; intermarrying within h vitical de grees of affinity, 1; misdemeanors, 29; •coot, nipt of court, 1. Upon examination of the < fficial rec ord, I fii and that in many and in most all of the cases for murder, w here a pardon has been granted before trial, the in dictments therefor had been found before tl c late war, and some of them during the war, and that justice demanded Ex ccutive intorposition in behalf of the ac cused, as in maty instances, some of the most material witnesses on the part of the defense have remevrd bcy< nd the jurisdiction of the State, and others have died; while in several oihei instances the State, on account ol the absence of its most important witnesses, lias faded to prosecute the cases after the indict ments had been found, and cases of that character were in abeyance on the crim inal docke's of the several courts so: years, postponed and continued from term to term, greatly to the annoyance and detriment of the acens and party or parties. In addition to the mciitorious circumstances attending such case-, par dons of that character have generally been most earnestly recjmmended by the Senators and Representatives of the districts and counties, together with the most highly respectable citizens of the county or vicinity where the crime was alleged to have been committed, and, in »>n.e instances, hv the offic'is of the cnuit in which the in lictu.cot was p"»i ding. j Os the 15 cases in which the sen ten - j ecs imposed was commuted from death ; to imprisonment for life, 4 to imprison j ment for life, 4fo imprisonment for 10 i years. 1 to imprisonment for 5 years, and 4 to imprisonment lor one year. ; Os the 24 cases of voluntary man ■ slaughter, f r which pardons have been | granted, one of the convicts served his full term, and was simply restored to civil rights, while the sentence of three : others, on account of the circumstances i attending the commission of tlie . dense, ' was commuted to one year imprisonment | each—the shortest term of punishment prescribed by law. 1 find, upon further examination, that ; many of the convicts pardoned of the of f uses ii| burg'aiy in the night time, had ! served each from 4to 5 years, in pur- I snanco of their respective sentences, | which in ev»ry instance was imprison ; ment for life, and that all the pardons . f ! that class of convicts were granted since the General Assembly, in its wis if m, fad deemed proper to altar and J amend the statute, reducing' the punish j ment for burglary in the night, from death or imprisonment for life, to im j pi isonment for a less period, j In the case of the person pardoned of the offense of incestuous adultery, par don was n commended by the Judge of ! the Supoiini Court lefore whom the con vict was ft it and, on ti e ground that he ; had been sufficiently punished, having nearly' served out his full farm. While several of the pardons granted for the c flense of simple larceny were Ibr horse stealing, yet most of them were j in such cases where, by the law, the act I committed is recognized as a triisde | meaner only, for which the punishment ; general y imposed varied; as, for in | stance, in some cases imprisonment in | jail, in others imprisonment and a fine, and in others work on the public works and a line, or, in some cases, all of these j punishments, ns the Judge presiding at i the trial, in his discretion, deemed prop er. in many of these cases, where the |pi isener was 100 poor to pay the fine ! imposed, that alone was remitted, or , n (liiced to a smaller amount. In many f the cases w here pardon was granted i for the < fit usi sos assault with intent to | muider, assault and battery, stabbing, etc-, it was generally upon the rccom riu ndation of the prosecutor in the case, the paity' injured by the cornu ission of tic offense. Among the twenty-nine cases of misdemeanors, for which par dot s w ere issued, I find most es them to be for using opprobrious words, enticing and decoying servants to leave employ i r, riot, vagrancy, etc. Asa general thing, I find that nearly every one of the persona pardoned ser-] v< ands m ■ part of the term of ids sen letiee, and that pardons wi re only gran-j ted up n the solicitation of the most well i known and respectable citizens of the! counties from which said convicts were sentenced; while, in many instances, | paid o s weie granted to those only who! liad nearly completed the term of con finement imposed upon them, upon tile recommendations of the officers and j 1. ssecs of the penitentiary, for good be havior, or on acccnut of such physical! disability as made them unfit to perform J manual labor, and would have, had I hey been kept in further confinement, proha- ! !.!y caused death. Where pardons were -ranted f< r good behavior, they took es- j !< ct one or two days before the expira- j lion of the lei in of coi fiucmcnt imposed j in the sentence of the Court. Pardons have been refused in the. fol- j lowing cases, to wit; Murder, 10; manslaughter, 5; assault I with intent to muider, 4; burglary, 4;! horsestealing, 3; simple larceny and other larcenies, 8; rape, 2; assaults, and j assaults and buttery, riot, 1; fo-gcry, 1; cheating and swindling, 1; peijury, 1;! robbery, 2; stabbing 2; fornication, l;j adulteiy, 1 ; bastardy, 1; receiving sto- ] It'll goods, l; carrying concealed weap- ! ons,2; playing and betting, 1; and other! misdemeanors,3 Very respect fully, R.

From ti e opposite ends of the lug, at tho same moment, there started to cross ii a big Newfoundland aid a little Italian greyhound.

The height was a dangerous one lot the hound and to the water at t 1 e bottom he was extremely averse. I’hu Newfoundland con’d have taken the 1 leap in safety but evident did not want to. There was a fix! The little dog rat down on his l aunches, stuck his nose sti a ght up in the air and howled. The Newfoundland stood intent, his face bohmn with inwaid workings. Pres ently lie gave a nudge with his nose to ! the howling grey-hound—as if to say, ‘Be still youngster and listen.’ Then there was silence and seeming confabu lation fir a second i r two. Immediately ! the big dog spread li s legs apart like . Cullossus, best i iding the log units ex treme outer edges, and balancing him self carefully. The little dog sprang through the opening like a flash. \\ hi n they reached tfie oppisite shores the grey-bound broke into frantic gambols of del glit; and the Newfoundland after Ids moie sedate fashion expressed great complacency in Ids achievinent —as he ' surely had a light to del HERE SHALL THE PRESS THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UN A WED BY FEAR AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN QUITMAN, GEO., JULY 28, 1871. incidents of tlio New ‘York Riot. From the New- York Sun, of the 14th.] THE BATTLE GROUND. \ That portion of Eight avenue lying be | tween Twenty-third and Twenty-ninth streets, was crowded all day yesterday j with curb sity seekers from other parts I of the city. i Wherever a person who had happen ed to ho present at the riot began to re cite his version of the scenes there, twen ty or more would instantly gather and listen patiently until ho had finished. Down every cellar a crowd gazed at where dead men were supposed to have lain, and every bullet mark in window or upon wall had its knot of examiners. The east side of the avenue about 8 o’- clock was fairly impassible from the mul titude. THE FIRST ATTACK. It is hard to tell where tho first attack was made on the Orangemen, but it seems to have been on the southwest corner of Twenty fourth street, a four story brick house, occupied by McMur ty’s grocery store below. It is assorted that two men standing on the awning fired a revolver, and were instantly (shot down. The northeast ct ruer is ! riddled with bullets, the shutters and I doorway s are pierced, and deep inden ! lures were made in tie brick walls and on tho browi.stotie copings. This street j toward the cast must have been sub Ijeclrd to a hot sweeping fire, as for a I long distance on both sides of the way | the houses are badly chipped. TWENTY-FOURTH STREET. As the head of the Orange portion of the procession reached Twenty-fourth street, another bait occurred. On the northeast corner ol this street, where it intersects Eighth avenue, is a liquor | store. The head of the Orange por | tion of flic procession halted just past this street. The left flanking regiment, j the Eighty-fourth, were marching loft j in front, or at least were load by B Com party. Wli le this ha’t was made, drop | ping shots were heard front further up I and down the lino, fireu by unseen hands at the Orangemen and soldiers. Aside from this the silence was ahs. lately op pressive. It was the calm which pre cedes the earthquake. A SUDDEN BURST OF FIERY VENGEANCE. Presently, from the second story of the liquor store, apparently came two pistol shots, bang! bung! An immedi ate rush was made by a score of police men toward the house. But it was not for them to vindicate just there the rights of American citizens. From the front rank of Company B, then faced i toward the sidewalk, came the sudden j sharp ring of a musket shot. Instantly, :as if communicated by electricity, the i fire flashed along down the company and tho regiment toward i!s left, leaped [ thence into the ranks of the Sixth, and j roiled away over to the Ninth; and f*»r j thii ty seconds the death-dealing missiles j | hailed into the houses for a distance oh ; [our blocks. It was a supreme moment, j The police who were in front of a p r- ! j tiou of Company B, threw themselves upon the pavement, and the bright flames j of death rolled over them leaving them, ! with one exception, unharmed. Then, us if quenched by some instantaneous arid irresistible command, the firing died awav, and the sulphurous pall of death lifted from the ground. AFTER THE VoLLEY. The scene which was there discloied ! was enough to make the stoutest heart ! quail and turn Rick. The dead and dy ing lay thickly strewn upon the bloody pavements, and the very gntteis ran with-gore. Within twenty feet of the | muzzles of the muskets, with upturned countenance, over which the gray Color of death was stealing, lay a well-dressed man, witli blood pouring from his breast. Just beyond him lay another, dead. In Iront of the liquor store lay half a score ;of disfigured bodies. One man, with j face all shot away, was rolling from side i to side in speechless, dying agony. Near | him two others, their brains protruding ! from the shot holes in their heads Not {faraway a confused heap of female appa !i el marked a woman shot through the head and tho body. She had partly ful j leri upon two men, who lay near, stone ; dead. Not far away was a lifeless little | girl, aud the wounded lay on every side. THE T-RROR CF THE M B. i From this sodden hurst of fiery ven i geancc ti e mob fled in the wildest dis j may. Tne front of the house from which the doubly fatal shots were fired was | marked from roof to basement with bul- I lets. For a few minutes the entire procession stood silently waiting a re newal of the attack, but it did not come. : Then, striking a national air, and leav ing the dead and the dying where they ! fell, the line of march was resumed, to ! be no opposed by any organized attempt at mob violence, and ouly to be inter rupted by r ingle shots at points along : the line, in some cases fatal, hut none ol them accompanied by circumstances which would exasperate tho troops to a reply. AT THE TOMBS. The priso cis who were arrested for inciting the riot and taking part in it were sent from the Police Oeutia! Office to the Tornhs yesterday. The transfer of so many prisoners, mainly known des peradoes, required extra precaution, as it was known to the police that the pr:- i Buueta’ coiifcdeiati s who had escaped arrest intended to effect a rescue if pos sible. a child's recognition of her father. As the prisoners filed out of the Cen tral Police Office, a pretty hut scantily clad child of about nine yours of age, stood by the steps, peering into their faces as the men emerged. Catching a ghutpse of a face she knew, she uttered a heart-rending shriek, and instantly J fell to sobbing as though her heart would I break. Detective Elder approached her [ and asked her tho cause of her soirow. She pointed her finger, saying, “There is my father,” indicating a tall, brawny Irishman, who had killed a man in the rii t. The poor creature was led away by the kind hearted detective. BOR I)KR V U.VGEANCK. Chicago, July 14.—The Prescott (Ar izona) Miner of June 24th gives the fol lowing particulars ot tho slaughter of fifty-six Apache Indians, at a point near Fonto creek in that Territory. It will be recollected that the cause of the slaugh ter was the killing of Bowers & Co.’s herds, mid the capture of their herd l>y the Apaches. THE CHASE. The Indians had no sooner obtained possession of the herd than a messenger was dispatched to convey the news of the outrage to the people es Prescott. Upon receipt of the news, a patty of ele veil citizens starti and in pursuit of them. Arriving at Aqua Trios, they were join ed by a party of five citizens from the valley, and early in the morning the whole force, nine men, started on trail of tho savages. After proceeding thirty five miles, Iney met a command under Lieutenant Charles Morton, a tionp of the Third cavalry, which was likewise in pursuit <>f these Indians, lleie the fore os blended themselves intoonecommand, under Lieut Morton, and the journey j was at once resumed with flash vigor. After traveling twenty-five miles to the j Verde, the command went into camp at. a late hour in the evening. On the Blh they again look up the trail, which thev followed for a distance of twenty miles, and at 1 o’clock i*. M. came upon a rancheria, which they quickly snrroui ded, killing twenty.-.one of the inmates. Feeling that there were abun dant Ind aus in the neig horhood, and deteimined that they should have the least possible time to prepare for battle i r to effect a retreat, the command moved quickly forward in seuioii of another rancheria. This tin y discovered on the following day, after er ssing the divide between tho Verde and Tutito creek. A fight at t>nee ensued, in which twenty-three In dians were killed. At this p'ace thirty j of tig- Captured horses were discovered, j One was recaptured and two were killed I tiy the Indians, when they discovered that they were to fall into the hands of I the command. From this place they followed the i principal trail for three miles, when they j discovered three Indians in tho distance j m muled on two horses. Two of these j were slot dead and tho third wounded, and both horses captured. The supply of provisions being by this j lime well nigh exhausted, and tho dis-j tanco from Camp McDowell to the near j est military post being upwards of 50! inih s, it was decided to at andon further ! pursuit and return at once. Tho com 1 mand accordingly took up the homeward j urr.ey, arriving at McDjwell on the morning of the 12th. The Ulan who Hadn't any Objec tion. The author of St. Twel’mo, noted for liis love of practical joke and a slight i impediment in his speech, was‘on duty at the fair of the American institute, and, finding a convenient point to rest behind a pyramid of paste and blacking, went quietly to work to write up his notes. lie had just completed a glow ing euh ginrn on the merits of a patent bean sifter, when he was interrupted by a tall countryman, wl o asked: ‘ifanw do ye sell yer blackin,’ mister?' ‘I and d-don’t sell it,’said the absorbed writer. ‘Don’t gin it away, du “ye?’ said the querist, handling a b x covetously. ‘I ha-lia-haven’t g-g-given away any vet,’ replied the still busy knight of the pencil. ‘Hain’t got any objections of my tak in’ a box, have ye?’ persisted the tor ment. ‘N-n-n not the 1-i-h nst in the world,’ | said the now thoroughly aroused joker, I calmly closing his book, and beaming blandly upon the interrogator. The countryman immediately seized upon a box of the polish; a sharp boy ! standing near followed his example; the j news of free blacking spread among oth | c, v sharp boys, and the pyramid of black- I ing was soon reduced to a plain, when ! the newspaper man was overtaken a lit ! tic further in the hall by the blacßing j dealer, irate and red-faced, with twopo ! I icemen, who had the original offender j and a half dozen boys in custody. ; ‘V’hat the blazes do you mean,’ said ! the man of polish, in anything but pol -1 shed language, ‘by setting people to steal my blacking?’ *M in-my dear sir,’ said the paragra pher urbai ely, ‘the g-g-gentl-man asked me if I ha-ha-had any objections to his t-t-t-taking a box of the blacking, and i hadn’t any obj ctiou at all, and I <1 don’t koow why 1 should have.’ And he walk *ed quietly on in put suit of his labors, | leaving Messrs.

But there aro many who err in the way which they manage their pecuniary affairs. To all such we rec ommend the following extracts, from Samuel Shiue’s able work entitled ‘Self Help.' ‘How a man uses money—uses it, saves it and spends it—is perhaps one of the best tests of practical wisdom. Although money by no means ought to tie regarded us a chief end of man’s life, neither is it a trifling matter, to t.e held in philosophic contempt, representing, as it does to so large an extent, the means of physical comfort and social well-being. Indeed some of the finest qualifies of human nature are intimately re'atcd to the right use of money; such as genoros ity, honesty, justice, and self-sacrifice; as well as the practical virtues of ec mo. my and providence. On the other hand there are their counterparts of avarice, fraud, injustice, and selfishness, as dis played by the inordinate lovers of gain: and the vo’ces of the thriftlossness ex travagance, and improvidence, on the part of those who misuse and abuse the means intrusted to them. ‘So that,’ as is wisely observed by Henry Taylor in his thoughtful ‘Notes from Life,’ ‘a right measure and manner in getting, saving, spending, giving, taking, borrowing, and bequeathing, would almost argue a per fect man.’ ‘Hence the lesson of self-denial—the sacrificing of a present gratification for a future good—is one of the last that is learned. Tliobc close s which work the hardest might naturally be expected to value the most the money which they earn. Yet the readiness with which so many are accustomed to eat up and j drink up their earnings as they go, rendders them to a great extent helpless and dependent upon the frugal,’ ‘Any class of men that lives from hand to mouth will ever he an inferior class. They will neccssarially remain impo tent and helpless, hanging on the skirls of society the sport of times and seasons. Having no respect for themselves, they ; will fail in securing the respect of oth [irs. In commercial crises, such men | must inevitably go to the wall. Want in g shat husbanded power which a store savings, no matter how small, invaria bly gives them, they will ho at every man's mercy, and, if possessed of right feelings, they cannot hut regard with | fear mid trembling the future possible j fate of their wives and children.’ ‘There is no reason why the condition j of the aver go workman, should not be J a useful, honorable respectable and hap- j py one. The whole body of t’.c work- j mg clas es might (with few exceptions) he as frugal, virtuous, well-infoimed, and well conditioned as many indiridu- | als of the same class have already made I themselves. What some men are, all ! without difficulty might he. Employ the same means the same results will follow.’ •But the man who is a'vvays hovering on the verge of want is in a slate not far removed from that of slavery. Uo is in no sense his own master, hut is in eon slant peril of falling under the bondage ofoth' is, and accepting terms which they dictate to him. He cannot help being a nr asare servile, for he dares not look the world boldly in the face; and in adverse times he must hwk either to j alms or the pour’s rates. If work fills I.im altogether, he las not the means of. moving to anotlulr field of employment; ! lie is tied to his parish like a limpet to its rock, and can neither navigate nor | emigrate.’ ‘To s' cure independence, the practice ; of simple economy is all that is tieces- j sary. Economy requires neither supe rior courage nor eminent virtue; it is satisfied with ordinary energy, and the capacity of average minds. Economy, at the bottom, is but the spirit of ordei applied in the admiirstration of and rms t:c affairs; it means managem uit, regu larity, prudence, and the avoidance i ! w.ust,' 1 . ‘J’he spirit of economy was ex pressed by our Divine Muster in the words,‘gather up the fragments thai remain, so that nothing may be lost.” His omnipotence did not disdain the small things of life; and even while re vealing His infinite power to the multi tude, he taught the pregnant lesson of carefulness, of which all stand so much in need. ‘Every man ought so to contrive as to live within his means. This practice is of the very essence of honesty. For it man docs not manage to live honestly within h’s own meins, lie must neces sarily he living dishonestly upon the means of somebody e'se. Those win ate careless about personal expenditure, and consider merely their own gratifica tion, without the regard for the comfort of oth ts, generally find out the real us ies of money when it is too late. Though j |,y nature generous, these thriftless per sons »re otten driven in the end tod ■ very shabby things. They waste theii i money hs they do their time; draw hills i upon the future; anticipate their earn | ings; and are thus under tlr: n> cosily of j dragging aflt r them a load of debts am ! obligations which seriously effect j tbeir action as free and ii,..tepetideui I men.’ | $2.09 per Annum NO, 30 The proverb says ‘an empty bag cats not stand nprig'll l ;’ neither can a malt! who is in debt.
