Na .—There was a large crowd in the Court house to-day to hear Judge Pearson's charge on the riot bribery subject. The Judge said that brib ry was highly injurious to society and danger ous to public morals and to the general administration of the government of the country. "I speak of it, gentle- men," said he, "as a crime which strikes almost at tle foundations of society, because if, instead of having fair, honest, proper legislation, accor ding to the best discretion and judg ment of the legislators, we ai o to liaye them bought over to vote for measures or vote against measures which the public requires, or which are injurious to the public either the one or the oth er , then I say it is dangerous to socie ty at large, and we should most care fully guard against anything of that kind. It is not merely a person solici ting, but the i>erson agreeing to receive or actually receiving, that ought to be held up to public scorn and contempt by being indicted in the Criminal Court." The Judge then quoted the constitu tional provisions against bribery and the law in pursuance thereof, and said: "Any open address, persuasion, or coaxing would not come within the act but the moment any cfllce, money, ar ticle of value, or promise of advantages is offered, it brings the a:t within the statute. In order to make the offence charged here you have only to inquire was there an offer or endeavor to influ ence any member of the Legislature by offering or promising them money, promising them anything of value, promising them any advantage of any office, any advantage of any kind? Was that done? If so, it would be au at tempt to solicit them to do what is il legal, and is an attempt to bribe and unlawful solicitation. All that is ne cessary to be proven is that the accused solicited members of the Legislature to vote in a particular way, under prom ise of procuring money for them or of fering to give them money, telling them where money could l>c procured, or that they could have money by doing so and so. Ilribery has long been pro hibited in Pennsylvania, and yet, 10 the scandal of our State—l hope it is false, I hope it is only scandal—it lias been urged, and s*i 1 hundred and hun dreds of times, that such and such a bill was procured by bribery. It de means our Binte, it brings us into con tempt with other countries, brings us into contempt with our sister States, causes us to be belittled abroad, to be belittled at home ; injures the legisla tive body with the community. The very suspicion that they take bribes is an injury to society i.i general, because they are led to distrust the laws that such a Legislature passes and to disre gard them entirely. Thereforo it is a high offence against society, and one that should be mo3t carefully guarded against by courts and Juries, punished inflexibly and without any hesita tion," Judge Fearson also instructed the Grand Jury to proceed against mem bers in whose cases 110 indictments nave been framed, but whom the evi dence submitted to the jury implicates in corrupt solicitation of members of the Legislature or of accepting or agreeing to accept a bribe. "Iu this way" he said f "neither the persons charged in the indictments nor the members of the Legislature themselves can escape punishment. You cannot act upou newspaper reports. You have no right to act upon resolutions of the Legislature. You act upon the evi dence produced before you, and that alone ; and if it m ikes out a case of either bribery or receiving a brib3 a gainst the person who i 3 charged, find a truo bill. If it is against others who are not charged, make a presentment of them to the District Attorney so that the whole matter shall be properly and fully investigated in court, so th it we may get at the bottom of tlieso things. Sometimes committees of the Legislature examine such subjects. They have not the same power the courts have in compelling tho attend ance and testimony of witnesses. Sometimes they aro not very anxious to find out what has been done; some times they are not very willing to ex pose whether they have been guiltv of receiving bribes. They don't want to tell anything that takes place. But we want to find out everything about it. We wane to get to the truth of the matter, and get to the bottom of it, and see who is guilty and who is not guilty, or whether any person is guilty, or whether it is a mere general slander. If the Commonwealth produces wit nesses to show the truth of the allega tions made in the indictments find true bills, without the least regard to whom it will strike ; without the least regard to the character of the persons accused."
