The Release of James D. Fish.

An Auburn (N. YJ special of Tuesday, says: James D. Fish, ex-President of the defnnet Marine Bank, who was convicted nearly nine years ago of maladministration of the bank’s finances and sentenced there for ten yean iu State’s prison, will be a free man Saturday morning. The commutation of the sentence of the ex-banker was one of the last executive acts of eXrPresident Cleveland before he left the White Souse. Fish’s sojourn in prison here has certainly lengthened hia years. Whan he came here he was broken down physically and feeling keenly the disgrace of hia position, but hia health haa steadily improved.
