The prisoner came from the Judicial to the Executive Depart'' ment . of the i government marked "guilty" by judges and jury, sta ting at that pomt. Therefore J have been djligenUy . studying 'the record while industnously seeking information which might concludve- ly prove to my mind that the verdict of the courts was an error, and that therefore the sentence , pronounced by the Courts or Hutngs and al- brmed by Virginias highest court must be set aside, or commuted with an earnest desire to taithtully exe cute, without fear or favor - the laws of the State impartially to all, with the most profound sympathy ' for those upon whose hearts this blow must fall. With a .Qlea conscience that lam diachatTjfsing fny duty to the people of my tata, as s3od has given me strength to see it, I now write to inform you that ( have not been able to reach a different conclu sion from that held vf the eourta. and therefore tbe case of Tromas J Cluverius Is not one. in mv ooinion. to call for I executive interference either by the exercise of the pardon ing power or by commutation of sen tence. I am gentlemen, with great respect. Your obedient servant, Frrz Hcoh Lee. As soon as Judge Crump received this ultimatum of the Governor he went down to the city jail, in comf pany with bit son Beverly, who was associate counsel in the case, and broke the news to the condemned man. i "How did he bear the news?' asked a united press representative oc Judge Crump. "With his t&ual gravity,' was rJ- plied. - I A number, of press men went down to the jail to see Cliiverius. Sergeant Lee took the men to the (cell of the condemned man, opened the door and asked him if he wanted to he in terviewed. I ' "No." said the prisoner, "I do not want to see any one." . He has broken down under the disappearance of hope and looks wo begone and ghostly. A respite will be asked for to night and it is gener ally conceded that it will be granted. 1 .. s I Fir lm Baltloaare A Fricfctfsd ) hj Boralac Baltimore. Md.. Dec. 7.

The following are the most important : There has been a decline of $62,664,925 in the value of the imports of merchandise and an increase of $57, 98, 807 in the value of the imports of merchandise. Not withstanding this decline in the value of exports and the increase in j the value of imports, our exports of iner chandise have exceeded the value of the imports, the former being $679, 524,830 and the latter $635,436,136, thus showing an excess of exports over imports of $44,088,694.

C, Nov. . 7. The last session of the 4'Jth Congress met promptly at 12 j m. Our delegation were all present except Hons. R. T. Bennett, Jas. W. Reid and James E. O'Hara. Thb Appropriations Com mittee is so far ahead with its. work that it is thought the Sundry Civil Appropriations 'bill will be reported about the middle of this week. It is generally understood that Mr. Rati ditll is., .working hard , to be made chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the Fiftieth Congress. If he will not thwart the will of the party and obstruct tbe passage of a conservative tariff reform bill, dur ing the next three months; I see no reason why his ambition in this re spect should not be gratified? ' He is an honest and fable Democrat, and if a graceful yielding to the emphatic will of the majority of his party shoula cost him the support of bis high protectiod constituents in Penn sylvania, there are other and higher rewards than a seat in Congress that can be bestowed on him. . Cleveland and Manning will "back Carlisle,. Hewitt, BraggJ Morrison and others in a strong effort to pass a tariff bill at an early day. This course is. more imperative now than it ever has been in the history sof this country. The revenues of the government for the past fiscal year show a heavy in crease. Under a Democratic admin istration the Expenditure forcollec tron ot these revenues and the eco nomic policy pursued in every de partment of tbe government, have greatly reduced I the expenses. This statement is proved by the statistics of the various departments. It is true, every word of itfor figures do not lie. Mr. Randall may be more amenable to persuasion because of this status quo than he has been heretofore, ff he is, a tariff bill will be in a few weeks tm fait accompli. and perhajis d great reduction ot tbe onerous tax on tobacco and wnissey will great! v relieve the people in your section, in tho near future. Henry atte: son is authority for the state ment that the Presaaent has in structed the members of his Cabinet to dismiss with all possible haste all the Republican vbiets and Heads ot Bureaux under them. I hope this is true for the Civil Service Law, properly construed never protected these officials a day and they ought to have gone long ago.. I do not vouch for the truth of the statement. but you probably noticed m your re cent telegrams that every Republi can Deputy Auditor in the Treasury had been turned out in a lump and their places filled by Democrats? lhe Presidents rheumatism conun ues, but it is nothing serious. It is confined to the muscles in the region of one of his j kuees. The bpeaker announced the death of Hon Air Price, member of Congress from Wisconsin, which4 occurred to-day at nis nome.
