The Legislature has left the Dower in the
hands of the Governor, T practically unre-;
stritited except by the constitution. He
is prevented by that instrument from par-
domng before conviction, or in cases or
impeachment ; but, in other respects, the
pardonirg power may be exercised "upori
such, condition a he may think proper."
This is also the fundamental law in a ma-;
lorlty of the, States. . But greater re-
strictions are put on the Executive in
some quarters. .
In Louisiana the Governor can grant
reprieves for all offences, but the consent
of the Scuate is necessary to pardon, and
the remission of floes and forfeitures.
In Maryland the Goyernor must adver-
tise in one or more newspapers the appli
cation for pardon, and the day when or
after which be will decide the matter. ;
In New Jersey no commutations are
allowed; and the Governor can -only
grant reprieres for ninety'days. The con
sent of the Gorernort council is necessary
to pardons and the remission of fines ' and
forfeitures. The council is composed of
the Gorernor, the Chancellor and the six
Judges of the Court of Errors and Ap2
peals.
In Nevada the Governor may reprierfe
for sixty days ; but in order to pardon or
commute punishments, or remit fines and
forfeitures, he must hare the consent of
the Justices of the S upreme Court and the
Attorney General. .
In Maine the pardoning power is in the
hands of the Gorernor and seren Coun
cilmen, chosen by the General Assembly.
' In New Hampshire the law is the same
as in Maine, except that there are fire
Council men, who are elected by the peo
ple by ballot. .
In Masachusetts the Gorernor. Lieutenant-Governor
and Council, elected by the
General Assembly, exercise the pardoning
nower
In Rhode Island the Gorernor and the
Senate pardon.
- In Vermont the Gorernor, Lieutenant
Gorernor and twelre Councilmen, elected
by the people, possess this power.
The constitution of Pennsylrania
(adopted iD 1790) says (art. II, sec 9 ) "he
(the Governor) shall have power to remit
tines and forfeitures, and grant reprieves
and pardons, except in capes or impeacn
ment." The same State adopted in 1878
anRnJCUOcJ - aiuvW'ii Mh d)arM
that the Governor "shall have power to
grant reprieves, commutations or sentence
and pardons, except in cases of impeach
ment ; but no pardon shall be granted nor
sentence commuted except upon the re
commendation in writing of the Lieutenant-Governor,
Secretary of the Common
wealth, Attorney General and Secretary of
Internal- Affairs, or any three of them,
after full hearing, upon due public notice
and in open session, and such recom

The pardoningpower is a necessary evil,
full of danger to the public, of care and
heariness for the Executire. Itshduld
be regulated by law more exactly and
strictly, so that criminals may understand
and the public may be assured that pun
ishment for crime cannot be escaped after
conrictlon, except under the most extra
ordinary circumstances. Instead ofcaus
ing a hue and cry against this Gorernor
for granting, against that ' Gorernor for
withholding pardons, the exercise or tne
pardoning power should be no more per
sonal than the exercise of the judicial
power. In a monarchy perhaps it might

'the King acts in a superior sphere; and
under aggrarated citair'ances. "Early
in October, aa Mr Ti CLFridges, ;be jailer,
was about to lock ,1e gates for; the
night, one of the prjsonfcj.s, a negro named
John Walker, charged wth cattle stealing:
went up to him and whispered that he
would like" to see -him .'privately a few
minutes. Mr. Bridges immediately went
one side sith.Walker,: ,wbo said : If a
knock comes at the 'door to-night, don't
yoq open It.", Why?" said Mr. Bridges.
t"Becau8e,,,.w84lberemy, "Wm. ' Jones,
'OlaTeBeWhlUterrtJlnrrXeB Johnsoiand
Charles Dent hare made a plot to spring
out on you as soon as you open the door,
throw a blanket orer your head, smother
you, take the keys,' open the doors and
escape with all the prisoners that will ; fol
low them." - Thanking Walker for ttnTin
formatlon, Mr, Bridges at once acted upon
it, and locked up each of the four conspi
rators in separate cells. Bill Jones was at
the bead of the conspiracy.
During the present week he was conrict
ed of burglary . In the night and, after his
conriction, he was carried back to jail.
Upon his arriral there he was searched
and, to the surprise of the officers, a sharp
razor was found on bis person, and next
morning a bottle of ritriol was , discorered
in his cell. What his intention was wun
regard to these was manifest. He would
probably hare found the opportunity to
use either one or the other on those haring
him in charge had not discorery been so
prompt. Yesterday morning he was car
ried into court for sentence and maintained
a defiant and insolent demeanor while it
was imposed. Judge Snead sentenced
him to twenty years at hard, labor in the
penitentiary, the utmost extenfof the law.
When the culprit was remored 1 from the
court room, and while passing through' the
hall, he remarkea to some one mai me omy
thing he regretted was that he '"didn't cuss
out Judge Snead." About two o'clock,
after he was carried back to jail, one of the;
nrtartnere tnlri Mr. RridffP.fi that' JoneS was
eating glass. , The jailer hurried up to the
cell and found tbav the information was
correct. The prisoner had a quantity of
powdered glass? tied up in a handkerchief,;
and oh being questioned be admitted that
he had eaten snout two hanufuls of the
glass.' An emetic was at once administered
and a physician sect for. He pave the
would be suicide a btill stronger dose. The
two forced him to dlf 'tge the glass. He
was soon af erwards turned over to Bon-

The Cabinet and the Campaign.
The Republican 8tate committee of New
York addressed invitations, ; in the early
part of the campaign which has just ended,
to every member of the cabinet to ; take
part in the caarass. As is known; both
SecretariesEvart8and snerman responaea.
The other members,' with the exception of
Secretary Schurz, acknowledged the invi
tations ! and f expressed regret that they
were not able to accept. Secretary Schurz
took no notice of the letter which he re
ceived. As Mr. Schurz Indicates that he
proposes to stick to the civil service reform,
policy, this might be looked upon as ? the
cause of his ignoring the matter if it was
not for the fact that he has made campaign
speeches in Ohio and elsewhere. The real
cause may therefore be looked for in the
bitter personal animosity wnicn sudsisib
between him and Senator Cookling. and
which dates back to the time of the
French arms investigation. Republicans
here say they have no doubt i Mr. Schurz
would refuse to support either , Mr. Conk
Hog or Gen. Grant, and that If either one
of them is nominated by the Repuolican
convention and Mr. Bayard receives the
Democratic nomination, he will support
the latter.

bounty and grace, and these repeated acts
of goodness, coming immediately from
his own hand, endear the sorereign td his
subjects, and contribute more than any
thing to root in their hearts that filial affec
lion and personal loyalty which are the
sure establishment of a prince." No doubt
this principal has giren life to criminals
whom Mercy dared not spare. : .
A combination of the safeguards used In
several States might be advantageous. '

Uniformity . in granting pardons and
thorough publicity are essential to the
proper administration of justice.
The solemn sepsion of
that which m?x at the Old
were ana'goed for piracy and robbery on
the high seas. All were found guilty ex
cept three, who were proved to have been
apprentices. Kidd was also tried for the
murder of his gunner and found guilty.
The men pleaded variously, and two of
them had undoubtedly surrendered them
selves within the time limited by the pro
clamation. Col. Pass, the Governor of
West Jersey (now New Jersey, aajfnmng
that of New "York), corroborated this
statement. It was shown that they naa
not surrendered to a commission of four
specially sent out for the purpose, and they
were condemned to. die. This was, as far
as the writer can judge,1 a hard case.'
Another seaman. Darby Mullins, said in
his defense that he served under the
King's commission, and had no right to
disobey any commands of his superior
officer; that, in fact, the men were never
allowed to question his autnoruy, ueuausc
It would destroy an aiscipime; nu iuai
even if unlawful acts were committed, the
officers were the persons to answer for It,
not the men. He was answered that serv.
Ing as he did only entitled him to do that
which was lawful. He replied that the
case of a seaman must be bad indeed if he
were punished in both cases, for obeying
and for not obeying his officers, and that
if he was allowed to dispute his superior's
orders there would be no such thing as
i oAmmanH nil t0 hiah fipju. This iDsreni-
ous defense availed him nothing; he had
taken a share of the plunder, and naa
mutinied, showing no regard to the com
mission ; and further, bad acted in accor
dance with the customs of pirates and free
bootert. The jury brought him in guilty
with the rest. Kidd's defense was not
strong, as a matter of legal argument. He
in.iatprt that, ha had been more sinned
against than sinning. He said that he
went out on a laudable employment, and
had no occasion, being then in good cir
...moMnviii In ero n.niratincr that he had
bUUiOHWVW - f " OJ . ,
been threatened in his own cabin, and that
ninety-five deserted him at one time, and
set fire to his boat, so that he was disabled
from bringing his ship home, or the prizes
he took, to have them regular conuemueu,
which prizes, he said, were taken under
virtue of bis' commission, they having
French passes (false) A witness, Colonel
Hewson, spoke highly of his previous , ref
n.itatfnn fnr hraverv. So mUC Of his OWp
statement was doubtful or false that he
was found guilty. When the Jodge put oo
the black cap Kidd stood up and said
My Lord, it is a very hard sentence. For
my part, I am the most innocent person oi
them all, and have been sworn against by
perjured persons." A week after the
bodies of Kidd and six'of his men were
seen by the passers-by on the liver, hang
