THE CORRESPONDENCE RVLATIVE TO GOLSES'S PARDON, Speclat Diapateh to The Chteago Tribune, Wasninarton, D, C., Jan, 1,—The recent state- ments of Golsen in Chicago have renewed tho interest In bis case hero, nn interest which 1s perhaps Inereared by the fact that tho Depart- ment of Justlee is not disposed to publish what information [tha on the subject, but Intrusts tho publication to othor persons who ecrnnot nlways get nt tho offielal iIles, It can be stated, however, that the currespondenca of the ler partment of dustico with District-Attorncy Leake on tho subject of Golson consists of two parts. First, the letters of the Depurtment to Leake; second, Leake's reply. The following Is ain exact copy of the letter of the Departinent to Leakn: “DEPARTMENT OF JuRTICE, WaAstinarox, 1. Cy Deo, 18, 1870.—Leake, State's Attorney Northern District of Mhiok—Sees Thy President hin: kulted the Attorney-General upoy the te tlonof W.S, Golson for Executive clew petition and athor ho npors aro herewith Inelosed ‘or your examination, You are directed to re- portato the frotaof the case, and also to ox~ press your opinion upon the expediency and justices of clemency in the preinizes. You will communiente, If practicable, with: the Iudgo who resided oat tho trial, with on view of obtaining such expression of his opinton inthe matter as ho may be disposed to make, nnd transmit such opinion, If avy Is exe prossed, with your report. “By dircetion of the Attarnoy-Gencral, : “ Gronde C, WING, Chief Clerk,” THE REPLY OF LEAKK is very bricf. It isn letter rather thon a report, and Is not entirely satisfactory to the Depurt- ment, in that It does not make full atiswer: tothe question or comply with tho official ree quest which the Departinent. made pon him. For instunco, the ollicial letter of the Depa mont of Justice requested him (Leake) to com- muniente with the Judge, 1f practlenbte. Ils reply to tho Departmont does not stato whether or not ho did communicate with the Judgo, and, if ho did so, does not give any opinion which the Judge who prealded at tho trinl (Judge Blodgett) may hive oxpreased. Lenko, in his letter, mere ly gives a brief statomont of tho ens, and recommends parton be not granted. As al- roudy indicated Inu previous dispatch, tho Dis- triot-Attornoy strongly opposes the application for pnrion; says that tho plu that be did not know that the moncy did not belong to Miller is «very specious one; and thut tho only basia which Golsen has for a pardon nt all {a the fact that ho hos a family of eight children and fs poor. Thatis tho extont of tha present correspondence in tho Golsen cnse, Thoro scema now not tho alightest chauco that Golson can ho pardoned. * ‘Thore hus also been considornble CONRESPONDENCE IN THE GREAG GABE. In Noveinber hist Distriot-Attornoy Leako wrote to Willinm Rogers, Private Seoretary of tho Prealdont, asking information, After mature consideration tho President, after conferring with the Attornoy-Genoral, authorized Mr, Rogers to send a reply to Loko to,.. tho. offaot, that . ho should procend..in..the mitter in accorditnee with his own discretion. ‘This means that tho upplion- on for pardon will bo disreguniod. Mr, Rogers’ lotter, which was weltten about the [5th of Novoembor Inst, was very brief, and contalned only the ubove direction’ to Mr, Louke, ‘Tho Presldont was very nich moved by the fucts in Gregg’s caso, but hla nations of Justico will not permit him to grant Immunity, Tho recent vigorous offorts to obtaln the pare dons of Gregg and Golsen, who wero conyieted of embezzling tho monoy-urder funds in tho Chiengo Post-Ottico, have attracted genoral nt- tontion, and public interest has boen aroused ng to tho different moves in the game which has hheon played on tho Executive. It hus beon freely charged that District-Attorney Lenko has: heen acting In concert with Charley Heed to scoura Grogg’a pardon und to leave Gol- son to ‘tho tender hospitalitics of Shorift Hoffinann, In spito of those reports tho Distriot- Attorney presscd Gregy's casa tou sentence which, it was ruinored, would never bo carried out, It was stated to Tus Trunk of lust woek that Gon, Lenko had writton to the Depnttmont rolativo to these two cscs, but that he was unable to give the Import of bis roport without the authorization of the Attorney-General, Armed with that authority a reportor called on the Gonoral ut his realdenco and obtained theo Important papers which throw much light on big attitude, and on the prosont stutus of the efforts for pardon, In makin pubile theqo roports the District-Attarney sate thut ho bad acted in accordance with what he Delteved to be his duty, and that be was witling tomnke hianetion public in tha confidence of buving ee toenet ait duty.
