A Question of Remuneration.
The pardon commission, appointed
by a joint resolution of the senate and
and house at the recent session of the
legislature, met in the capitol a few
days ago and began the work assigned
to it, looking over applications for
pardon, on which it is to report to the
governor, who will either accept or
reject the application as he sees fit.
The gentlemen appointed as mem
bers of the commission are Senators
Whitley and Bush and Representa¬
tives Jenkins, Humphries aud David
son. The resolution under which
they were appointed provided that
they should visit all the convict camps
in the state and examine iuio the case
of those prisoners who were seekin g
pardons and report to the governor,
either recommending a pardon or rec¬
ommending that one should not he
granted. Then the recommendations
of the commissioners are to be passed
upon by the governor who can accept
them or reject them as he sees fit.
The resolution creating the commis¬
sion was introduced in the senate by
Senator Whitley, and provided that
the commissioners, who were to serve
ninety days, if necessary, should re¬
ceive the regular per diem of a legis¬
lator, four dollars a day, as well as
mileage in going from point to point,
which was sufficient to cover all their
expenses. reported
When the commissioners to
Governor Atkinson he called attention
to the resolution which originated in
the senate, providing for an appropri¬
ation. Under the constitution, all
bills or resolutions appropriating
money to be binding must originate in
the house.
The commissioners were non-plussed,
as Governor Atkinson was inclined to
rule that they could serve, but they
would have to pay their own expenses
and do without tho per diem until the
next meeting of the legislature, which
could be trusted to make the appro¬
priation. No decision was given, how¬
ever, but the matter was referred to
the attorney general for an opinion.
Mr. Terrell, after looking into the
case, gave it as his opinion that the
resolution was perfectly legal as far as
it went, but that no money could be
appropriated from the treasury for the
purpose, as there was none for this
fund. He said that it would be legal
for the governor to allow the work
done and to make his warrants on the
contingent fund. This the governor
decided ho would do to start the work
at any rate.
When this decision was made the
commissioners went to work at once.
They were given a big batch of pardon
applications that were on the gover¬
nor’s desk and when they have re¬
ported on these it will be decided
when they will begin to hear applica¬
tions.
FREEDOM FOR REDWINK.
He Will Probably be Released From
tlie Columbus Prison.
Probably within the next week
Lewis Redwine will walk out of the
federal penitentiary in Columbus,
Ohio, a free man, and it is likely that
he will make his way back to Atlanta.
The official physician of the peni¬
tentiary has forwarded two reports to
"Washington. The first gave the facts
in Redwine’s physical condition, and
stated that the life of a convict was
sapping the man’s vitality, and that
he would probably die if he was
kept to the end of his term.
A few weeks ago another report was
forwarded to Washington. It is un¬
derstood from sources absolutely au¬
thentic that the penitentiary physician
urged the necessity of Redwine’s early
release. It stated that he was a cer
tain victim of insidious consumption,
and that even in the bright balm of
some sunny clime not over two years
of life was left to him.
Backed by the earnest work of his
attorneys, and with friends working
hard and faithfully for him, there
seems to be no doubt that Redwine
will shortly be free. It is stated by
these who know that such a report as
has last been forwarded by tho chit f
physician at Columbus is never turned
clown. And so, at auy day in the near
future, the white face of the unfortu
nate man be seen in Atlanta again.

SYNDICATE 18 GUI.
__
MORGAN ISSUES A CIRCULAR AN¬
NOUNCING DISSOLUTION.
He Writes a Letter to President Cleve¬
land on tile Subject.
The bond syndicate has been dis¬
solved. Members of the syndicate re¬
ceived in their mail "Wednesday morn¬
ing a circular letter from J. P. Morgan
& Co. releasing them from their com¬
mitments to furnish their pro rata of
$100,000,000 in gold aud a second
$100,000,000 if desirable, taking their
payment therefor in4 per cent govern¬
ment bonds.
Accompanying this letter was a cir¬
cular explaining why the syndicate was
formed, what action was taken on its
behalf, and why it is now dissolved.
The reason for the dissolution of the
syndicate is that the syndicate con¬
tract called for a bid of “all or none,”
and therefore Mr. Morgan was unwill¬
ing to make a bid under the present
circumstances, as he might seem'to
present for the consideration of the
secretary of the treasury the throwing
out of smaller bids made in good faith
under the public call.
The only emergency in Mr. Mor
gan’s judgement, which would justify
such a course would be the failure of
the public to respond to the call of
the government.
It has been necessary to delay the
dissolving of the syndicate up to the
present time as every financial inter¬
est required protection afforded by
the knowledge that the syndicate was
in existence prepared to make the
loan a success under any circum¬
stances.
Letter to the President.
The following is the text of Mr.
Morgan’s letter to President Cleve¬
land:
To the President, Washington, D. C. :
Sir: It is with great hesitation that
I venture to address you in relation to
the present financial situation.
As you are doubtless well aware,
financial affairs are approaching a
serious crisis; and whilst no outward
evidences have developed, we are
likely at any moment to reach the
point and consequences which it will
then be too late to remedy. The
gravity of the situation must be my
excuse.
“The most important step at the
moment is the restoration of govern¬
ment credit by replacing the gold re¬
serve in the treasury beyond question.
This once accomplished, confidence at
home and abroad in the stability of
our currency will be restored.
“After my recent visit to Washing¬
ton I became convinced that any leg¬
islative action to improve the methods
at the disposal of the executive was
unlikely; in fact, impossible. 1 there¬
fore took steps to ascertain whether
it would be possible to obtain the co¬
operation of parties at home and
abroad to an extent that would enable
me to negotiate a contract with the
government for the sale of 11,500,000
ounces of gold, approximating $200,
000,000, on about the basis of the con¬
tract of February 8, 1895. In this ef¬
fort I have been successful, and am
now in a position to make such a con¬
tract for the full amount.
“I do not hesitate to affirm, in fact,
to urge that such a contract would in
every way be for the best interests of
the government and the people, and
would be followed by less derange¬
ment of the money market, of trade,
in fact, of all interests, including for¬
eign exohange, all of which, until re¬
cently, were in such an increasingly
prosperous condition, and I urge your
serious consideration of such a con¬
tract. At the same time I recognize
the effect of legislation which has been
proposed, and the discussion thereup¬
on in both houses of congress, all of
which might lead you to hesitate to
make - a private contract, and, conse¬
quently, in view of the gravity of the
situation, I feel bound to. say that, if,
after a conference, in which I
can more fully lay the matter
before you and without expressing
any confidence in such a mode of pro¬
cedure in the face of previous failures
of similar attempts, but recognizing
as I do that the responsibility of de¬
cision lies with you, I pledge to you
every influence and effort in my power
to assist tho government in its en¬
deavor to make successful a negotia¬
tion by public advertisement which
shall result in the sale to the treasury
of 11,500,000 ounces United States
gold coin ($200,000,000), possibly and further,
I will, so far as I can, take
such steps as will enable the syndicate
which I represent to join in making
the negotiation successful to its full
amount.
Awaiting the indication of your
pleasure, I remain,
Respectfully yours,
J. Piekpont Morgan.
