'i iils v us a conviction for the oil'enbe of
m ileus tl.ieats to tnko life, the throats hav-

tbi inf Ii n letter sent through the Uaited
htHR. n n'l. ihe information was ovidontiy
liKi'glt Hid tho trial aud conviction had
til dtr article 811! of the Penal Code.
To coEMitute the offense contemplated in
llils article the appellant mnsthave "know-
Ji BJy tent" or " delivered " the letter; and
tlie infoimatlon must so charge. The in-
icimation in this case charges that appel-
lant "did knowingly .... threaten . . . .
In fftdiEg," etc. The "sending " or" deliv-
.iy " i t a threatening letter " ku»wingly "
constitutes this offense. A person might
"knowingly" write a threatening letter
aril ilils letter might reach the person to
wLrrn si! chested, and yet it might not havo
teen "knowingly sent" or "delivered" by
the writer.
Apvellant having been convicted of an
rfieuse with which he is not charged, the
judgment is reversed and the cause re-
manded.
Thomas rosson vs. the state—Appeal
funi Travis county. Opinion by Will-
son, J.
Ol several convictions, the penalties in
which aggregated forty-live years, appel-
lant was confined in the state penitentiary.
Upcn application the governor issued a
full pal dec, delivering the same to appel-
lant's attorney, who had been acting for
him in He mailer. Five days thereafter—
on August ISO, ISt'C—the pardon was deliv-
er d to a oleik ot the penitentiary superin-
tendent. On the same day, and before its
actual delivery ti appellant or it hid been
entered on the orison records, the governor
ly tehgibm directed the superintendent to
hold tne prisoner until further orders; and
on the tame day notified that officer that the
pardon had been revoked, ordering its re-
turn to the executive office, which was done.
On Ftbruary If, 1S87, applied tj the district
judge ot Travis county for the writ of
habeas corpus, setting forth so much of the
facts stated as was necessary, and alleging
illegal restraint of his liberty. Upon hear-
ing te was remanded to custody, and this
judgment is here appealed from.
Ueliveiy and acceptance of a pardon are
essential to its validity, the same rujes
governing as in the case of deeds; from
which it follows that both are complete
when the grantor parts with his control
over (lie instrument, with intent that it
shall pass to the grantee, and the latter as-
serts tor himself or by an agent. These es-
sentials were met in this case, and honoe,
if the pardon is not invalid for other rea-
sons, the prisoner is entitled to be enlarged
from confinement. The revocation by the
governor was void.
In this case, however, it is urged t'oat the
pardon is void for fraud in its procure-
ment. Any suppression of truth, or sug-
gestion ot "falsehood, in obtaining a pardon
will vitiate it; and this fraud maybe in-
ferred from the pardon itself. Upon the
pardon issued in this case the governor in-
dorsed the following order to the secretary
of state: "Issue an order canceling this,
as having been issued on misinformation."
This being all the evidence upon the (jues-
tu n of ii and, and it being indorsed upon
the pardon through which appellant seeks
his enlargement, and which he himself puts
in evidence, it must be considered as part
of his case. This is the prima facie pre-
sumption. and if facts exiot to rebut this
presumption, it rested with appellant to
make proof of them.
Under the facts it does not appear that
the appellant is illegally restrained of his
liberty, and this judgment remanding him
to custody is therefore affirmed.
Tfxar Benevolent Association vs.
Thomas H. Bkll—Appeal from Collin
county. Opinion by Wfllson, j.
This was a suit for damages for breach of
contract of employment; also for an addi-
tional sum paid by appellee to appellant
corporation in fees, dues and assessments
upon a life policy. Appellant pleaded gen-
eral denial, and especially excepted to~tbe
If tter claim, which was sustained. Also it
was set up that appelleo was discharged
frcm bis employment by mistake, and that
an r fier to reinstate him under the contract
had been made.
If an employe be discharged without just
cause he is entitled to his damages. But
where he is offered the same, or like em-
ployment, for the same period and upon the
same terms, before he has sustained injury
by reason of his discharge, ho is not entitled
toiecover. He is entitled, however, to re-
cover the sum of $15 25, which appears to
have been due him and which he refused to
accept.
As to the second claim, it appears that
the company's obligation to pay appellee's
due ard assessments terminated with his
written contract of employment. The con-
nect terminated when the dues and assess-,
merits became payable, and appellant was
no longer bound to pay them. Non-pay-
ment of these forfeited appellee's policy, as
we-H as amounts already paid therein. Ua-
der ll.p iacts damages for breach of thecon-
fract should not have been allowed, and for
ibis error lie judgment is reversed aud the
cause remanded.
THE GREEK BOY.
Interesting Reminiscences of William Calien
Bryant—The Oiiginal of His Foam
on that Subject.
Few more entertaining or more valuable
ttemoirs, says the Brooklyn Citizen, have
been written during the present decade
than l'aite Godwin's Life of William Cui-
Itn Brjant. It covers the essential points
of (he poet's career in its political as well
as its literary relations, and makss clear
his connection with the Abolitionist'move-
ment and the civil war and the period of
reconstruction. We are reminded of this
work by certain circumstances of local in-
terest, which have led to the production
from obscurity of some of the poet's private
letters which have a bearing upo
the interesting period which is now
beirg thoroughly searched by con-
tributors to periodical literature, and
the suggestion is made that there
are, perhaps, many more of the same kind
which would, if collected and embodied in
a succeeding edition of Mr. Godwin's work,
add to its interest. The influence which
Mr. Bryant exerted in molding public opin-
ion during those exciting times does not
appear to have been fairly considered by
wi iters of the present day. It must, how-
ever, nave been considerable. For tho sub-
joined letter the Citizen is indebted to Mr.
Alexander C. Evaugelides, secretary of the
civil service commission of this city. It was
written to his father in I860, as the date
shows, when he was in Athens, and at a
time when grievous domestic sorrow had
overtaken the poet.
Tte elder Kvangelides, it may be well to
add, was a protege of Mr. Bryaut's. In-
deed the circumstances of his coming to
this country were in the highest degree ro-
mantic. When a little boy he had been
lound on "ooaid one of the Greek pirate ves-
sels that infest the ^Egean sea as a prison-
er, having been abducted by brigands. He
was brought to this country in an American
man-of-war, and excited the interest of
Julia Ward Howe and the active members
of the Abolitionist party. He was sent to
Harvard ar,d there received the best edu-
cation the country afforded. He was
brought into intimate social relations with
the late Charles fcumner, William Lloyd
Ganiscn, Mr.Bryant, Henry Ward Beecher
end other giants of the anti-
slavery cause. He was the Greek
toy of Mr. Bryant's well-known poem.
After a residence of several years in
thin count)y he returned to Athens and
found tho city singularly backward in edu-
cational facilities. Wo have not here
space to relate bis experiences in remodel-
ing tho university of which he subsequently
became the president. It is enough to say
that he married a Greek lady and had four
c\ ildren, the eldest of whom is tho secre-
tary we have spoken of. A second son
holds the rank of commander in his coun-
try's navy. One daughter is married to
a wealihy merchant in Alexandria, and the
voungett tlifd not long after her father.
Dnrit^g his life in Greeco Professor Kvan-
gelides maintained a warm correspondence
With Mr. Sumner, Mr. Bryant, Dr. H iwe
and his other friends, and when his eldest
son was ot suitable age sent hitn to this
country, wheie he has since pursued the
career of a journalist.
The following is the lotter which has sug-
gested these interesting reminiscences:
Uoslvn, L. I , September 2!I, 18(>(>.—My
Dear Friend: I was very glad to get a let-
ter from you last spring, and to learn that
tho feeling of attachment to this country is
as warm and fresh in your heart as ever.
Itisgrateiul to the heart of an American
to know that they who know his country
best prize il most. Not very long before I
leceived a letter from your son at Alexan-
dra full of the same sentiments. Heseems
as much a Yankee as you are, from which
I infer that you have educated him as an
Auerican republican. I answered his let-
ter very soon.
Youis I have not answered on account of
an overwhelming affliction which has be-
fallen my family. About the time it came
to my hands my wife was attacked with' a
severe illness which, in eleven weeks,onded
her lite and left us all in the greatest afflic-
tion. She suffered very much daring her
illness, and it was a time of great anxiety
and distress to us all. You knew my wife,
but you could not, with such slight oppor-
tunities as you had, know much of her
worth. A letter from a female friend of
hers addressed to me after her death says:
"Bhe was the purest, tenderest, truest hu-
man being I have ever known." You may
judge what the grief of the survivors must
be. The whole neighborhood mourns her.
To a warm desire to please anc to the most
quick and generous sympathies she joined
absolute sincerity and the most resolute
detestation of injustice by whomsoever
committed.
I wish that our domestic politics were in
a more satisfactory condition. We have
got lid of slavery, but we are very slow in
getting back to the regular action of the
government contemplated by our constitu-
tion. Our Congress is disposed to require
severe conditions of the rebel states, and
our president is the most indiscreet and un-
wise of men, besides being surrounded by
bad advisers. I do not despair, however, of
things ultimately and ere long coming right.
The present fever will cool by and oy and
soberer counsels prevail on both sides.
We hear with pleasure that in the pre-
sent tendency of European politics toward
the policy ot nationality—that is to say, of
allowing each race of civilized men to live
under its own government there is some
hope that the Greeks may be included, and
that all the regions principally inhabited
by ihem may finally be delivered from the
yoleot abaibarous master. I hope that
may be so.
Here, at F.oslyn, we have a new neighbor,
who has lately begun to occupy a cottage
just built by me at the further end of the
little lake before my house. It is a Mr.
Vandervoort, lately of California, a brother
of your friend, Mr. Peter Vandervoort. His
sister, Miss Vandervoort, whom you know
very well, was a particular friend of Mrs.
Bryant. She will live at the cottage with
her brother, and we promise ourselves
much satisfaction from their society.
Your son does well in coming to Amer-
ica. I hope he will derive from a residence
here all the advantages he anticipates. I
am, dear Bir, very cordially yours,
William Cullen Bbyant.
C, Evangelides, Esq.
Bible Distribution in Texas,
The following is the work of sixteen col-
porteurs and three auxiliary agents of the
American Bible society for the year ending
March 31,1867: Days of service, 2532; fam-
ilies visited by them, 28,240; families found
without n Bible, 38110; families supplied by
gift or sale, 2866; destitute individuals sup-
plied in addition, 1550; number of books
sold, 12,037; value, $5776 44; number of
books distributed by gift, 3085; value,
$<57 40 ; contributions received from
churches and individuals, $165 59. Returns
were received from 54 auxiliary societies.
Many Mission churches were given pulpit
Bibles. Other grants were made to mission
fields, needy Sunday-schools,' prisons, etc.
The colporteurs worked in 43 counties, and
completefl the canvass and supply of 20 of
them. The fourth general supply is being
vigorously carried on. Help is greatly
needed. Contributions may be sent to
Treasui er Bible house, New York; or to W.
B. Hankin, district superintendent, Austin,
Tex. _
What It Would Do,
" Money", my dear young friend," said an
elderly adviser, " doesn't alone bring hap-
piness in this world."
" I know it doesn't, sir," responded the
yc.utg man, frankly. " It only brings ter-
lapin, and small bottles, and trip3 to Eu-
rope, ar.d canvas-backs, and lying a-bed
late in the mornings, and taking tailor-made
girls to the opera nights, and all that sort
of grief an(J misery. Give me a content ed
mind and- say $20,000 a year, and somebody
else can have the money," he concluded
with fine scorn.
