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.The clause which has been repealed is the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.

During tbe past )it tbe t'ommUwion baa bad five

Four hundred children ran be educated an entire year
for the small sum ot tnree thousand dollars, or seven
dollars and flit; cents each. Oni thousand ool'ars bare
been subscribed by ten g. ntiemeu hi Pblladeipuia. Two
ibuiisand dollars are yet needed. Should this amount
not be contributed the present month, the buildings and
their furniture will have to be sold and the pier chil

body or soul. When we reflect that some of these little

died In the Union arunv, and that ths Is the only means
