Mr. Will A. I mien, laU Secretory of the Greenback State Committee, vnsittd Gov. ikgole at Flint ou Monday, and rtturntd jtcterday noon. A representative of The MoiofiNo Telixuum calltxl on Mr. Iunw at the Hathbun Hooj laot etkning, and upon requesting an intferview upon the subject of his recent vieit to Flint gathered the follow ing: "I went to Flint for the purpose of seeing Governor Bcgolu upon private business. lie was not looking well, but complained of fetliDg tired aa he liad been working very hard recently. On the subject of pardons you can state that on Saturday last he had twenty-two applications for pardon. Among thone you can name Congressman Mayberry, Mayor Cook, of Muskegon, and F. F. Kutts, of tins city, as petitioners. To all of the twenty-two the Gorernor refused to lis ten, as the pardon books are positively closed. Yesterday morning before half-past six o'clock, and before he had risen. Gover nor Degole was called on by four different persona who came to plead for pardons. Of the Mayor 'Joseph II. Mabley, of Jack Bon, waa one with a petition for a young man in prison for his third offence; another, was an old lady from Washtenaw County, pleading for the par don of her husband, who had been sentenced to a term of three years for beating her. Another waa an old lady of about the same age, with six young children asking for the pardon of her hnsband who had been sentenced to a term of forty-five year; for murder; (an odd feature in this List case, was that among other let ter she presented, waa one from the prison warden stating that the man was a dangerous, intractable prisoner whom it would not be safe to liberate). Another was a man from Wayne county ask ing that a pardon be granted for a man incarcerated for grand larceny, and all these the Governor refused. It has not been an uncommon thing for the pardon-seekers to come at all hours of the night as well as day. The Governor called my particular attention to the fact that he had never pardoned a man that has been sent to prison for a second offense.- He thinks time will justify him in his action in the Van Wago ner case, and though he has nothing against Judge Hawes, the official records will show that the original sentence was for twenty years, and then twenty-five more were added, presumably in anger.' A130UT CVHEOLL's CASE. " By the way, here is something I learned, unofficially: A request reached Mr. Begole a short time since from certain members of the New Or leans Commissioners, that he petition Presi dent Arthur for Mr. F. M. Carroll's removal as United States Commissioner to that Ex position. But he refused, saying that he had gone to the extent of his authority when he revoked Mr. Carroll's commission as State Commissioner. lie also said he would not have done that if it had not been apparent that harmony could not be secured in the Commission without it, and spoke in the most kindly terms of Mr, Carrol." "The Governor says as soon as he gets his business matters closed up, he will devote his entire time, fortune and abilities to the interests of the grand old Greenback party, though judging from expressions made by Democratic leaders, the latter are desirous of adopting the main planks, (labor, land and finance) of our party and thus merging the two solidly into one." "Since there are no more offices at hlsdis posal, or pardons that he will grant, the Governor i3 being besieged by Democrats and Greenbacken all over the State for his influence with President-elect Cleveland in order to secure patronage. He has already- pledged himself for the Marshalship of the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan and the Port Huron collectors hi p. Mr. Innos smilingly declined giving names. He has already received over 2T0 solicitations, personal and otherwise, for the new Presi dent's patronage. This comes from the fact that it is credably intimated that his influence is potent with the incoming ad ministration." The Sons of Veterans. At the meeting of the Sons of Veterans last evening, it was decided to have a public installation on Tuesday next of the officers to servo during the ensuing year, and the cere mony to be followed by a hard-tack social. Chief Mustering Officer KowUon, of Hills dale, will net ns installing officer. All friends of the Sons of Vets., particularly members of Custer and Champlin Posts G. A. II., and their families, are cordially invited. The proceeds are to be invented in furnishing camp, and a relief fund for needy veterans. Law and .Order. The executive committee of the Law and Order league held a regular meeting at the Kigle Hotel last night. Agent Thornton m lo a report of several violations of the Iar, nch as saloons selling without licfn'e, kfeping op?n after hours, and selling to minor. The lieigue will work up the evi dence and institute complaints against the violator. The League do not rropoe to int:iff r with any one's bneines anj further than to e that they ke?p within the laws. -; - r A Case in Chancery. The jnity en.' of David T.

There apj t- -irs ou the Sup rior Court ducket of jesterday, a ca-sr of mariud infelicity, in which the orairit ttls fonh iu a bill of com plaint against hcrhutb'iuJ.ali-tof conjugal wrong suiiicicnt to untie the connubinl knot, though it were tied with the marline-pike of a forty paron pw er. The parties namtl in the bill for divorce enjoy the untuphonious names of Altjtn A.ink and (ierrit J&n Assink, and Altjen tells her rueful bile to about the following effect: Sho and Gerrit Jan joined hands and whatever hearts were represented in the contract, iu this city, about four years ago. No children blessed the union of this fam ily,and Altjen solemnly assert- tliatGerrt t Jan entirely subverted the family relations of the oratrix and made said marriage relations unendurable by a continuous course of evil and malicious conduct, without fault or provocation ou her part. That he used vile language and epithets toward her, called her Cyprian, a beast, and other vile names; cursed her up lull and down dale on various and divers occasions, and accused her "of illict intercourse with different ier Bons, particularly with her father and other relations." lJy such abusive, malicious and inhuman treatment the oratrix asserts her marriage relations wero4 rendered intol erable. Farther fdie says that after Jan. 10, 1883, Gerret Jan re fused and still refuses to provide for her support, though able eo to do; that when he did provide for her it was of the poorest kind and meanest sort, and compiled her to do her own work and wash for other families, by which her health was enfeebled and her life made utterly miser able. To complete the enormity of the bill the accused is charged with having laid violent hands on her, on one or more occasions, that he has become an habitual drunkard, and at times imbibes large quantities of spirituous and intoxicating liquors; that if he was a drunkard before she married him, she did not know it and he fraudulently concealed it from her. A petition for tem porary alimony and expenses accompanies the bill for divorce, and if the half asserted be true, there can be but little doubt that before another moon wanes Altjen Assink and Gerrit Jan ditto, will be twain as when she, Altjen, wa3 a maiden.
