manslaughter for killing John Enders, and sentenced to two years imprisonment in the State Prison. The
petition asking for pardon was respectably and numerously signed, but the Governor is inexorable. If
among the large number that Gov. Weller has pardoned during his short administration there are not some
worse men than Louis Goldberg, he has been fortunate in the bestowal of his clemency.
The Lecompton press is devoting itself with untiring assiduity in casting odium upon David C.
Broderick, because Wm. H. Seward, a Black Republican, styled him “the young and brave Senator.” Read
Senator Gwin’s letter of acknowledgment for services rendered him by Broderick to secure his
re-election. Gwin characterizes him as being “manly.”

A fire broke out at 4 o’clock and 25 minutes, P.M. yesterday, in a China house occupied by Win
Kee, on Broad street a few doors below the White Hall Stables. The flames were a long time getting fairly
under headway, so long that a strong impression is left on the minds of men used to conflagrations and
qualified to judge that an organized attempt to extinguish the fire would have been successful, had an
effort been made before the work of devastation was too far advanced.
There was little wind at the time, and everything was favorable, but, though many citizens worked
