SATURDAY, JANUARY" 5, 1807. The Pardoning Power of the Executive. Thebb seems to be a very general misappre hension of the real meaning of the action on the part of the House of Represent! ves when it, by a vote of 127 to 87, repeale d the law giving power to the President to pardon, by proclamation, any pe.'soos engaged in the late Rebellion. We notice that this error as to the Intent of the law is not limited to our Democratic journals, but has crossed the Atlantic, and the latest file of the London Time gives us an editorial of a column and a half, wherein it morallzes'on our total dis regard of the ancient landmarks, and the neglect 1 Congress to obey the Constitution. Now, actually, in the passage by the House of the repeal motion, there Is nothing not en tirely consistent with the fundamental doc trines of the supreme law of the land. Let us glance at the history of this pardoning power, as curtailed by the action of the Senate yesterday. .The clause which has been repealed is the 13th section of the Confiscation bill of Hon. Thomas;D. Eliot, which was passed in the sum mer of 1802. The first Confiscation bill was moved In the Senate by Mr. Trumbull, on the 16th of August, 1801. It was not to effect the Rebellion already progressing, but was to come into force provided the mal contents continued their warfare after its pas sage. It was the simplest element of a Con fiscation bill. It was agreed to by a vote of 83 to 6. The Home approved of the bill by a vote of 60 to 48. Ihe vote was hardly a partisan one. This bill not being sufficiently explicit, and falling without effect on the Southern people, Congress passed on the 17th of July, 1862, the regular Confiscation bill, one section of which reads : "That the President is duly autbor'zed, at any time hereafter, by proclamation, to extend to persons who may have participated in the exist ing rebellion in any State, or part thereof, par don and amnesty, with such exceptions, ana at pucb times and on such conditions, as he may -ijeem expedient for the public welfare." Now, the object of this clause is clear. It has no reference to the special pardoning power of the President. That Is guaranteed by the Constitution, which was in existence nearly seventy-five years when the law was pasted. If it bad any 6uch reference, it was idle.Jand waste paper, and would not have been adopted by the House. Section 2, Article II of the. Constitution, speaking of the powers of the President, states : "And he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment." The power granted to the President by the act of 1802 was a new power. It gave him au thority to pardon, not special cases of treason, but whole States or parts of States. It was a collective reprieve, a reprieve issued before any one of the pardoned had been convicted of any crime. It anticipated a con viction, and went far beyond the power con ferred by the Constitution, which only allowed him to prevent a sentence being executed after the sentence had been passed uoon the Convicted criminal. The original Intention of the framers of section 13 is clear. It is intended to enable the President to dismem ber the Confederacy by pardoning a State or section. It contemplated a strategy in war, and not an exercise of lorgiveness, when the enemy had been crushed. It was like the proclamations of the knights , of old, who offered to forgive all who would surrender ; but no one imagined that after the battle was ought, and the foe vanquished, they could claim Immunity under the offered amnesty. So it Is with the section repealed. Its day has passed. The Rebels failed to avail themselves of itsjlenity, and now it has been repealed, as a natural result of the obstinacy of the enemy. This section, therefore, does not interfere with the provision of the Con stitution. Whenever a traitor is convicted, the President can pardon htm. But no more universal amnesty. The door is closed. It is fully time that ihe repeal be accomplished. A general amnesty proclamation was feared every day. Now, however, it is rendered impossible, and the handsome vote of 127 to 87 in the House, and 27 to 7 in the Senate, shows that no veto can tor a moment delay the operation of the law. Hereafter no trai tor can be pardoned until he is proved a traitor by convictton, and the wholesale sys tem of pardoning be thus terminated. It will, therefore, be seen that nothing in the act is inconsistent with the Constitution, as the London Times and our Democratic news papers pretend to believe. Who It Responsible t Hit. Rkvebdy Johnson took occasion yes terday to say In the Senate that the imprison ment of Jeff. Davis was a reproach to Ameri can Justice. Whatever might have been his offense, he was a man of delicate frame, who was selected by six or seven millions ol people to take charge of this Rebellion. That he should be indicted, invoke a trial, and be still immured, was a reproach to American Justice J and if it existed in any nation In Europe, it would call down the indignant re buke of the people. Mr. Howard, of Michigan, thereupon opened np the true state of the case by pertinently asking Mr. Johnson whether it were not true that Jen. Davis was captured as a prisoner of war, and ha, since bia cap ture, been held under an order of the Presi dent of the United States as a prisoner of war; and if be be a mere prisoner of war, claimed as such, what power had the Dis trict Court of the district in which he may have committed the crime to bring him to trial, without the consent or order of the President of the United States handing him over to the Court to try him ; and how could that Court try him unless the proper prose cuting officer of the Government were will ing to undertake the task, and did undertake the taskP The fact is, Jeff. Davis is held as a prisoner solely by the power and authority of Presi dent Johnson. If the President and his friends think Jeff. Davis is a badly used man, and that his imprisonment is a "reproach to A mcrlcan Justice," why don't they let him got Quite a Contrast. Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, while the debate concerning Jeff. Davis was going on yesterday, called the attention of the Senate to a case ot treason against the State of Vir ginia, said to have been committed by a man named John Brown, with an army of fifty two men. That man and his army were cap tured, tried, and hung. Since then treason against the United States had been com mitted, and Governor Henry A. Wise had taken a prominent part in it. So far from sharing the fate of John Brown, Mr. Wise bad not long since defied the Government of the United States, and scorned the idea of seeking or accepting a pardon, - Mb. Wells' Report. Special Commis sioner Wells has at last made his report. It is a pamphlet of one hundred and twenty eight pages. Its specific recommendations are: First. A reduction ofthetaxon manufac tures from five per cent, to three. Second. The removal of all taxes upon the manufacture of bar, plate, and sheet Iron, and the elements for the manufacture of steel. Third. A reduction of the tax on sugar re finers from 21 to 1 per cent. Fourth. No taxes on sulphuric acid or emery. Fifth. No taxes on salt. Secretary McCulloch is said to endorse the report. Oub State Legislature has done a good work in promptly passing the bill abolishing the five per cent, commission to the Receiver of Taxes of this city on unpaid taxes. The new Receiver, Richard Peltz, Esq., urged the passage of the law. The Congressional Committee to in vestigate the New Orleans massacre have finished their labors in that city , and are about to return to Washington, They have taken" some three thousand pages of testimony. The Pbrsident has not yet returned the District of Columbia Sufirage bill, but it is expected that he will veto it. An Impostor. We perceive by our forcliru files tfcat an actor representing himsclt as Mr. Joseph Booth, the youngest son of the late Junius Brutus Booth, is pluyins; at Edinburgh, and drawing large crowds by his impudent assump tion. Mr. Joseph Booth is not on the stage, and is at present in this city, nor is any member ol the taniily in Europe. We trust that thl9 im postor, who is represented to be a Mr. Henry Marble, of Leavenworth, will find his Just deserts. Jf. 1'. limes. RELIGIOUS NOTICES. f TRUE MANHOOD. REV.
