HOBSON GETS A PARDON.
THE GOVERNOR GIVES HIM THE
BENEFIT OF A DOUBT.
The Fact That Other Safes in Wash
ington County Hare Been Robbed
Taken into Consideration in Connec
tion with the Ex-Tax Collector’s
Claim—A Charter for a New Railroad.
Atlanta. Ga„ April 23.—The opinion of
the supreme court yesterday affirming the
judgment of the court below in the case of
Jease Robson, ex-tax collector of Washing
ton county, convicted cf embezzlement, has
been followed by a petition to the governor
for a pardon, signed by nearly 2,000 citizens
of Washing on county and other portions
of the Rtate, including Chief Justice Bleck
ley and Justice Simmons. The governor
decided to-day to grant full pardon, and
said, in explanation: “The power to pardon
is without restriction, but tho constitution
couples with this pardoning power, in the
same paragraph, the requirements that the
governor shall take care that the laws are
faithfully executed. The responsibility,
therefore, of nullifying the sentences of
courts is a very grave one, and should be
used by the executive with groat caution
and diffidence.
REASON FOR THE PARDON.
"X have, however, after most careful con
sideration reached the conclusion that Cos).
J. A. Robson should be pardoned. The
evidence on which bo was convicted is
wholly circumstantial. The state has been
fully reimbursed. The jury aud the prose
cutors, the county officers aud a large
majority of the law-abiding citizens m
Washington county, tbe chief justice of the
state and one associate justice of tbe
supreme court, and many other prominent
officials and citizens unite in asking his
pardon. The defendant’s statement
is that his safe was opened and
tbe money stolen by others. Other
safes have been recently opened and tbe
money stolen in the same county. 'I here
is. therefore, a possibility that the defend
ant’s statement may be true, and I feel that
I am justified in giving him the benefit of
anv doubt. Indeed, his past life aud tbe
marked character of his services Induce me
to give greater weight to the doubt in his
case.’’
A NEW RAILROAD.
A charter was granted to-day by tho sec
retary of state under the general law to the
Rogers and Summit railroad, running from

and not go to work. A subscription to pay
thoir far-s back was raised and they re
turned to Pittsburg on the next train. The

mained. About 7 o’clocs this evening

to do, and the negroes marched
to the station amid chee s. The mill own

w uld hold the county responsible for any
damage done in case of a riot. The sheriff
adlres-ed the strikers, and the leadeis

A SAMOAN ISLAND MONARCH.
The Dignified Gentleman In a Tall
Hat and Shirt-tails.
From a “Ciiiise in Samoa.”
The adjoining island has a lovely land
locked harbor. It is g varned by a king,
and soon alter we arrived that monarch
paid us an official visit in all the glory of a
white shirt and a silk hat, and was received
witn full naval honors as he stepped on
board. He was met at the gangway by the
commodore and all the officers, with whom
be exchanged salutes. The marines pre
sented arms, and, ufter some hesitation
in selecting aa appropriate march, t. e
band struck up “The King of the Cannibal
Hiands.” The king walked gravely round
the ship, looking quite dignified, in spite of
hi- somewhat eccentric costume, and, after
inspecting the gun deck, the marines were
fallen in for rifle drill, hut the volley firing
rather start ltd his followers, who were sit
ting round on top of th J iammock nettings,
bobbing up and down in the most comical
manner. The thing that seemed to please
them most was the sword bayonet exercise,
which they pronounced a very good “war
da-ice.” His majesty then took his leave
amid another flourish of trumpets, and
seating himself in the stern of his canoe
shovel off.
When he got a few yards from the ship
we gave him a royal sal to, but at the first
discharge of our sixty-four pounders over
board went the entire crew, leaving the hat
in solitary grandeur till after the firing had
ceased. With the exception of the king
they were not troubled with auy supe: fluity
of cl (thing; like s .me other aborigines
mentioned by Mark Twain, “they wear a
smile, and sometimes a pair of spectacles.”
Tms was the only occasion on which we
had to tire a salute during our cruise, for at
the next group the king (King George of
Tungatabou) was very haughty, and when
invited on board to visit the commodore he
replied by an aide-de-cauip, a colored g n
tleman in red military tunic, but no con
tinuations, that he considered it would lie
derogatory in a king to pay the first visit.
