It is a jnwt and merciful provisian of the lnw that permits the highest executive officer to extend to a condemned criminal, in behalf of the commonwealth, a full and free pardon for hit offenses, and to restore him again to feociety jolievod of all legal disabilities on ac count of crime, to start again in life with inducements to do better in future, knowing that the rigors of the law may bo tempered with mercy to those who deserve it. It is not only proper, but it is necessary, that tho authority to grant pardons should bo placed Romewhere; and by almost unani mous custom throughout the world, and in all ages, it has been placed in tho hands of tho chief executive. It is the duty of the courts to judge according to the law, to con demn if an ofl'cnse against tho law is proven whether the law is just or unjust and to impose such penalties as tho law requires. The discretion of tho courts is limited: their proper functions are hearing and judging the cases brought before them, without regard to the abstract questions involved; and, as the power of revising their sentences and extend ing pardon to the condemned, if circum stances should seem to warrant it, is in other hands, they are able to act with greater freedom and impartiality in tho performance of their legitimate functions. There are thousands of cases where it is essential for the good of society that an of fender should be tried and sentenced, but where there are circumstances connected with the commission of tho offense that mitigate the guilt of the criminal, and give assurance that, if permitted to escape from the full pen alties of the law, he will offend no more. In such cases tho ends of justice are fully met by the sentonce of the judge, and pardon granted by the executive, in consideration of the moral rather than tho legal justice of tho case, ex erts a beneficial effect, not only on the re cipient of tho executive clemency, but upon (society at large. Cases do occur sometimes when the courts make mistakes, the wrong person is condemned and sentenced, or a sen tence is imposed out of all proportion with the actual magnitude of tho off ense. In all such instanoos, the pardoning power comes in to remedy the wrong and rectify the mistakes of the judiciary. If We could always rely upon having pure and incorruptible men in tho highest offices of the government, the power to grant par dons might with the greatest propriety and (safety be loft entirely to the executive ; but, Unfortunately, the class of men who generally aspire to the offices of tho government, even the highest of them, are, as a rule, neither pure nor incorruptible. They are for the most part persons who make a regular trade of politics,' who put their principles into the market to be knocked down to tho highest bidder; and all their energies are devoted to the obtaining and holding offices, and to making as much out of them as is possible with the opportunities afforded. It is a defect of o ur political system that it places an immense amount of political power in the hands of the lowest and most debased classes: many of the most active political workers are men stained by every crime, but who continually manage to escape unwhipped of justice, because they are found useful as wire-pullers and as bul lies to terrify decent citizens from enjoying the rights of franchise at the polls. It is next to impossible to procure the oonviction of such men in tho coi'rt.i; and if by any chance one of them should be convicted, he is almost certain to be returned to society to pursue his evil course, by means of an executive pardon. There is scarcely a criminal convicted in our courts that does not begin, often before sentence is passed, to importune the Governor for a pardon. The law requires that in such cases notice of the intention to apply for a pardon shall be made in the newspapers, and we con sequently find continually such announce ments as this: "Pakdok. Application will he male to the Gover nor for the pardon of Young I'arr, couvictud of re ceiving stolen goods, at the Court of (Quarter Sua sions for the county of Philadelphia, April 7, 1Si59." If the applicant has but a limited political influence, or can command but little wealth, he may not be able to compass his desires, but there are few men so totally destitute of friends that their good will is not worth some thing to a greedy official who desires to main tain his hold on power. The abuse of the pardoning power was one of tho greatost scandals of Andrew Johnson's administration, and the manner in which he released counterfeiters and other criminals of the worst class brought him into contempt with many men who were disposed to look with leniency on his political backslidings. In spite of protests on every side, he delibe rately abused the great power entrusted to bim to the basest purposes, and in most Bhameless manner set decency and the good of society at defiance. The present Governor of Pennsylvania has Scarcely been behind the " greatest criminal of the age" in this respect; he Jias used the pardoning power not for the rectifying of mistakes made by the courts, not for doing justico when the law had been too severe, but to make himself popular with a class that makes it a business to prey upon the com munity. In other States tho same complaints are made as to the abuse of the pardoning power, and it is a matter for serious consider ation whether something cannot be done to check the evil. It is apparent that under our cvsti'ui of Koverumont this is too ureat a IiO uuUunIoJ to uuy one man, ttuJ the well-being of Bociety domands that it shall bo controlled. In New Jorsey the pardoning power is in the hands of the Governor and certain of the Judges. This at least throws a safeguard around it, and, to a certain extent, prevents that brokerage of pardons which was almost openly carried on at Washington during Andrew Johnson's residence in the White 1 louse, and which is ns effective, if more secret, in other locali ties. The pardoning power ought not to bo done away with, but it can and ought to bo regulated; its abuse has grown to be an ovil of gigantic magnitude, preventing the punishment of tho most dangorous class of criminals, and practically turning justico into a farce. Tho New Jersey system appoars to be as advantageous ns any that could bo adopted, and it or something similar ought to be substituted for the present arrangemon, so ns to romove from our national aud Slat.) Executives the power as well as tho tempta tion to do wrong. HIE COOLIE HYSTEM. Tiik Secretary of tho Treasury, in his late letter to the Collector of New Orleans, shows that the Government has already adopted precautions against a repetition of the worst abuses of the Coolie system on American soil, or in connection with tho importation of tho Chinese to this country. Our consuls are requested to prevent involuntary emigration from the land of tho Flowery Kingdom to tho land of tho Starry Itauncr, and we presume that John Chinaman will bo at least tolerably well protected against the grosser forms of oppression. If this shield against slavery is afforded, wo see no good reason why hundreds of these active, industrious laborers should not bo welcomed to our soil. They are espe cially necessary in the Southern States, where hundreds of millions of acres of fertile land which would richly reward careful culture is now lying idle. There is but a slight prospect of its speedy development if the Chinese do not come to the rescue. There are now two or three hundred acres to every effective Southern laborer, and if some new influence is not called into action this gap will not be filled up for centuries. The course of emigration, ns a rule, follows isothermal lines, and comparatively few of the people born in the Northern States, or in the north ern portions of Europe, will over become active field laborers in our Sunny South. The planters are debarred from their old resource of importing slaves from Africa, and as it is difficult, if not impossible, to induce a large immigration from Southern Europe, China is their most available recruiting ground; and if their present difficulties and past troubles have inspired them with an earnest and sin cere desire to give a fair trial to the children of overcrowded Asia, they may furnish a much broader aud safer basis of Southern prosperity than negro slavery. In many respects the Chinese are the best agricultural laborers in the world. For countless centuries all classes have felt a deep pride in this most ancient and most useful of all arts. Of one of their em perors it is recorded that he gave the' best energies of his life to an improvement of the cultivation of the tea-plant, and that his in telligent and continuous exertions were finally rewarded by wonderful success in extending the domain in which that useful product could be grown. The bulk of the lower classes have been animated by a similar desire to achieve the great end of "making two blades of "grass grow where but one grew before," until the whole nation teems with garden-like fer tility. The Southern States, above all other sections of the world, need such laborers. Their old agricultural system was to the last degree careless and wasteful, and there are doubtless millions of Chinese laborers who could give them useful lessons in the culture of two of their most important staples, i-ice and cotton. Itice, the favorite food of the Chinaman, can be grown not merely upon the famous rice plantations near the seaboard, but in many upland districts, and Chinese laborers would have little difficulty in raising the Southern cotton crop to the old standard, and in extracting from the soil at tho same time, by a little extra exertion, enough food to sustain life. They would not necessarily become the industrial rivals of the freedmen. Under proper conditions, they would prove effective coadjutors. The great danger in the South is, not that too much work will be done by either white men, negroes, or Chinese, but that indolence will continue to prevail, and that the aggregate of productive labor will be infinitely smaller than the amount required for the rapid promotion of Southern as well as Northern interests. The great need of the nation is millions and myriads of laborers to do the work which should be done for the common good of all; and if the Chinese can reclaim Southern wastes, and at the same time improve their own condition, let them be welcomed. FROM MAN AY LINK TO VESUVIUS. The semi-annual edition of the '"Navy Regis ter' has at last made its appearance, bur dened with the list of new names which th late Secretary saw fit to bestow upon a large number of our vessels of war. The list of changes in titles embraces fifty-nine ships, and yesterday we gave the old names and the new side by side. A glance over tho list shows that Mr. F.orie, in inaugurating this system of confusion, had no thought of him self; for if such had been tho case, he would surely have rechristened ono of his boats tho Dolphin, even if modesty had forbidden tho use of the plain and simple Adolph. The fact, however, that one of the new names used is that of the burly l'hilistine, Goliath, lcjids us to the belief that the Vice-Admirul, wto is generally supposed to have been at tho bottom of this ridiculous piece of business, had in mind the achievements of his name. soke, David of old, and sought to givo his own vanity a slight touch of consolation, being prevented, by tho eternal fitnoss of things, from saddling any of our men-of-war with the uuii pie and euphonious nuiirj of A careful perusal of the list of changes does not reveal any striking instance of originality, even in the adaption of classical terms to things quite the reverse of classical. We search in vain for such popular and easily remembered names as the Jimcrack, the Pollywog, the Whangdoodle, the Boomerang, tho Nick-Nax, and the like; but in their place find such worn-out words as Achilles, Ajax, Amphitrito, Charybdis, Cyclops, Erebus, Herculos, Medusa, Scylla, and Vesuvius. And having exhausted "Tooke's Pantheon," our worthy ex-Secretary, or, more properly speak ing, his right-hand man David, has fallon afoul John Hull's threadbare category, and laid violent hands on the Fury, the II irpy, the Spitfire, the Tartar, the Tempest, the Terror, the Thunderer, the Tornado, and, finally, to put a climax on tho string, the very old Vixen hersolf. Why a pnnso should have been inado here, whout including the Bull dog, tho Pantaloon, and the Trowsors, we ara at a loss to divine. In the entire list of fifty nine vessels the names of which have been changed, we discover but half a dozen instances in which thero is a shadow of an excuse for such change; aud if such titles ns the Koka, tho Squando, the Wampanoag, the Umpipia, tho Klamath, nnd tho Waxsaw are inappropriate, unpronouncablo, or ridiculous, we doubt if half a doen men in the whole country can be found who will pronounce the change to the Argos, the Erebus, the Florida, the Fury, the Jlarpy, nnd tho Niobe, nn improvement. Among the more glaring instances of a change from well-known and euphonious Indian names to mythological absurdities may be noticed that of the Manayunk to the Ajax, tho Tonawanda to the Amphitrite, tho Mari etta to the Circe, tho Kalamazoo to the Co lossus, tho Shawnee to tho Eolus, the Shacka moxon to the IIoclo, the Manhattan to the Neptune, the Cunonicus to the Scylla, and the Tippecanoe to the Vesuvius. Mr. Secre tory Kobcson, being a genuine Jerseyman, lias refused to interfere and put an end to this rechristoning business: and it will there fore become the duty of Congress to take tho matter in hand, and settle it as it should be, in common with several other little affairs pertaining to the Navy Department. The political contest in Tennessee is de cidedly interesting. Stokes is endorsed by several members of the Cabinet as the simon pure representative of Ilepublicanisfu; while Parson Brownlow, on the other hand, warns the faithful that if they do not follow the banner of Senter they will not only enoouuter cer tain defeat in tho election, but lose status in the party. Meanwhile, tho Democrats, en couraged by the hope of a speedy removal of the ban of disfranchisement from the partici pants in the Rebellion, give a cordial support to Senter 's pretensions, and force Stokes to seek votes exclusively among the most radical of the radicals aud the blackest of the blacks. Aside from the personal issues involved, the principle at stake of a removal of the restrictions upon the exercise of the right of suffrage by the masses who participated in the Rebellion is one that must speedily triumph not only in Tennessee but in every other Southern State. It will be impracticable to permanently impose tho penalty of disfranchisement, and the time cannot be far distant when the work of re construction will be completed on the basis of universal amnesty and universal suffrage. The negro will vote side by side with his former master, neither being excluded by law from the polls, and both parties may as well pre pare for the continued existence of this mixed constituency. Although the summer watering-places are visited by many people, a marked change is coming over the character of the social ar rangements at these resorts. Temporary cottage homes and mere excursion trips are rapidly rising in public favor. Men of means, who go to spend the whole summer by the sea-side, endeavor to take with them the comfort and convenience of the domestic fire-side. The children of toil, on the other hand, patronize the excursion system, and manage to crowd into a day's holiday not only a trip to nnd from Cape May or Atlantic City, but a bath in old ocean, a hop, and lots of fun besides, making the day of recreation the busiest of the season. There is still a goodly number of transient guests left for the hotels nnd boarding-houses, but the day of their glory seems to have in a great measure de parted: nnd if they want to revive it, they should either change the condition of the money market or revise their tariffs. The not'NTiFUL harvests of the present season can scarcely fail to exercise a beneficial inllnence upon the business of the country, and especially upon the inhabitants of cities, who have so long been victimized by the high price of food. The reduction has al ready been felt in the reduced cost of the minor products, vegetables, fruits, ber ries, etc. The next tumble will be in the price of cotton, corn, and wheat, and finally it is to be hoped that even "horse feed will fall low enough to enable the passenger rail way companies to reduce their fares to the old standard. Largo crops will increase the demand for merchandise in many rural dis tricts, nnd the gross amount of business will be so great that a fuir margin for moderate profits will be afforded in spite of the preva lence of comparatively low prices ior manu factures ns well ns agricultural products. Evkn a terrapin can be made to move when a red-hot cool of fire is placed on his back. And the Democracy of Philadelphia, under the pressure of the over whelming exposures of fraud and violence in their conventions, are beginning to discover that authority can be found for a revision of the action of their double-fisted delegates. The Republicans should profit by this significant example. The corrupt ' legislators who have been renomi nated should no longer bo sufl'ored to disgrace the Republican ticket. Since tho objection able candidates have not prudence enough to withdraw, means should be devised for forc ing them into obscurity. The party organiza tion must relieve itself of the odium of a committal to these miscreants, if ,it wishes to icjii.iu the toli.ltncc of tLs eu-uuluui: y.

FaRREI, IlKRRINO A CO., j No. 6'9 Chesnut street, Philadelphia, j Gents: A persistent but unsuccessful effort was made on the night of May 29, 1869, to drill the Banker's chest received from you a few month ago. From fafcts that have come to our knowledge, it lav evident that the attempt to open It was renewed on 8unday evening tallowing. Finding all efforts to drill It useless, the effort was then made to break the lock. Tho hammering was heard by parties In the neighborhood for several hours, but supposing it to arise from the railroad men replacing a defective rail, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception of the drills, were left. It Is evident that they were ' not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with, the 1 construction of your Chest. That they failed Is another evidence that your Banker's Cheats are what you claim for them, Burglar-Proof. Respectfully yours, 6 is 4p J.
