The government of the State is de fective in capacity in all its departments and had increased the debt eleven millions without constructing a mile of railroad, a foot of canal, or school house. When candidate for Governor last year, he visited every county in the State bnt one, and never heard any man utter a word against the Federal Government. Tho oppo sition was to the corrupt and maladministration of State government. Members of |the Loyal League committed outrages, such as murders and bnming gin-honses before there was Ku-klux organizations. The people sibmitted quietly for two years until they found they had no re dress through elections or forms of law. The Ku-klux was composed of men of the highest respectability, organized for iedress and pro tection. Carpenter,however,did not endorse the organization.

Bowen was convicted of bigamy and sentenced to be im prisoned two years and to pay $250 fine ; and whereas, it is represented that he was innocent of liny violation of tho law; that he acted in good faith, believing his former wife to be dead, and it appears that he rendered good service to tho cause of the Union during the re bellion, and since its termination has endeavored to lead an honest and upright life, and for these reasons 11 of the jurors who found tho verdict against him and many other citizens of the highest consideration and weight, urge his pardon, and as tho United States Attorney, Fisher, wonld bo gratified by tho exercise of executive clemency, now. therefore, Be Known, that I, U.

Chicago, July 8.—Tho coroner’s inquest over the lynched man elicited the following: Mary Mera, mother of the child, testified as follows My husband, Martin Mera, whipped my son, Martin, aged ten years, two weeks ago on Tues day night. My babe was bom on that day, and I did not see the whipping. It was done in an other room. I heard the blows, and heard the child beg for meroy. The child went to bed about 10 o’clock. The next morning the child came to my bedroom followed by his f ather, who was whipping him very hard with a black snake horsewhip. The child dodged aronnd the room to avoid the blows and begged for mercy. The child was completely naked, his father having compelled him to strip himself. His face was swollen from the whipping he received the night before. His father whipped him very hard for ten or fifteen minntes. At last he stopped and told the child to put on his shirt. He made an effort to do so and fainted. His father repeated the order, when the boy said, “ I can’t see, I can’t see.” “ You can’t see it?’ responded his father. “ No, father, I can’t see you; I can’t see you; I feel like I am dying." The father rubbed the boy with spirits and forced some down his throat. The child raised his hands, moved his lips and expired. Mera then took the body and put it under the bed where the sick mother was laying, and it re mained there until evening, when he buried it. The testimony of the boy’s sister is still more horrible. Richmond, July 8.—Mary Bishop, a married woman, committed suicide this morning by cut ting her throat with a pocket knife and bleed ing to death.

Chicago, July 8 —Sarah Mera, daughter of the murderer, aged 14, testified that her father, after he whipped her brother very severely with a horsewhip, Tuesday, two weeks ago, he brought my brother in and said ho had not worked, nnd whipped and knocked him down twice. Father continued to whip him, and said he wonld whip him till he conld not stand np— he would whip the life out of him. Two or three times he would Bay this, and brother would plead with father: “Father, don’t whip me any more; oh, don’t whip me any more.” I liked him. Brother went to bed abont 10 o’clook. He said he did not know why father whipped him so. He never told stories only when father made him. Father would say if he didn’t own up he had done so and so, he would whip him; and to avoid it brother would own to things he never did. Wednesday I got up and got breakfast ready. Father rose when breakfast was ready, and brother got up. but felt so badly he went back to bed. Father made him get np and go out and feed the stock, and when he came back father whipped him and sent him to the field. He went for him and brought him and made him take off his clothes and then whip ped him and then picked np and laid him on the stove. Tho stove was hot enough to heat an iron. I was baking biscuits. Father put him on the stove twice—brother pleading all the while, “ Father, don’t burn me.” He screamed very lond, and his skin stuck to the stove. His skin came off his back and his feet and stack to the stove. It seemed so. I opened the door and father immediately shut it. While brother was pleading, father said he wonld bum him till he worked. I havo seen father strike mother with his fists. Many times he knocked brother down, several times with the butt-end of a horse-whip. I never saw my brother after he went into mother’s room. Synopsis of Weather Statement. War Dep’t, Office Chief Signal Officer,) Washington, D. 0., July 8, 7:40 p. m. ) The barometer has fallen on the California coast. It has risen to-day rapidly at the Rocky Mountain Stations. The lowest pressure which was last Friday evening west of Iowa appa- rantly has moved north and northeast over Lake Superior. The barometer still remains quite low west of Michigan and Illinois, having fallen since Friday in that region. The area of high pressure in tho Gnlf has removed westward, and, with high rains and cloudy weather, ex tends into Alabama. The temperature has risen decidedly at most points in the interior of the country, especially in Wisconsin and Michigan. Southwesterly winds have continued on tho South Atlantio coast and now prevail in the Ohio and Mississippi Valley and on the Lakes. Threatening and rainy weather has prevailed in the Northwest to-day, as also on the ooast from Louisiana to Florida. Severe local storms now prevail in Southern Michigan and Ohio. Probabilities: The conditions are favorable for local storms from Missonri to Lake Ontario to-night. Threatening weather will probably extend north of this line. Falling barometer, with increased clondines3 and local storms, are probable for Sunday in the Middle and Eastern States. Southerly winds, with threatening weather, are probable from Louisiana to South Carolina. Philadelphia, July 8.—Col. Cephas G. Childs died last evening, aged 78.
