Extraordinary Statement of Joel Lind

Death —Two and-it half hours Whipping
--The defendant admits "he was not
Angry,'' 6e.
That l should make this statement, I feel
la due both to myself and the public I
have long 111111.011 for flits opportunity, but
in view of the legal purl of the molter and
the injunctions of my counsel, my mouth
has been anted and I have suffered in si
lence Had I been called before the coro
net's jury to make my own statement of this
rase, it would have saved me a great deal of
' pain and the public much fa!, impresston.
ltut this was not the cane, and the few words
I spoke in respect to the matter were spoken
to Dr Chamberlam in a 1110111 alone, with
no one present but himself and me, and the
communication Ifas b•t a verbal one My
little boy lost lifs another when about ono
year and a half old, a lady whom I loved
intensely and who loved me with all the
I,aolerness and 11,011011 of a woman's 11111-
tore After !lip death of my wife, my alt
lia were dralin more closely around
toy child, and loved him most tenderly.
Ile was noble, manly; and beautiful child,
very affectionate in his disposition and
bright in his intellect. Ilia father and
friends looked upon Imo with pride and
110110, and I should not have been satisfied
to have him been absent from me a week
My little bay had a wonderfully firm will,
enough for an adult, but there was nothing
milicious to it Ido not speak of Ibis as
any thing against bits, but "011 the other
haul, I consider it to have been a Gotl

from Come old shingles used for kandlings,
dotty years old, Or more, and the wood, I

that I would ratliOr the blows would fall
upon myself than upon my buy.' As I con
tinued to punish him, stopping at very fre
quent intervals and talking to him, I felt
convinced that he knew what I wished hihl
to do, as his reply to any question, “why
will you not do it, Johnny v Pa is sorry
Thal Johnny will not mind," tons, ''l do not

OA I must accomplish it It will be eatd
that I erred in commencing at that hour,
when my child was tired by the play of the
day. I did err in so doing, but as I lire
maid,' bad no idea of any serious conflict
at all If 1 bad I ahould not have corn—
ineneeal. Ilul it was a part of my educa
tion end was my own judgement that a
child at that age, however much gas, a gen
eral thing t4ellarent should avoid coming
directly across the will of the child, yet,
when that did occur, that there was no bet
ter or wiser way than for 'the parent to
wisely enforce obedience. In this case I
full that unless my boy with his firnmess
of will, ooeyed, he could not be made to
obey when older. Others, doubtless would
darer but that was my honest conviction at
the time. Ino not speak of these things to
excuse - orixtenuato my conduct, but to
spreadliut,ls far as I am ablepthe influence
which operated upon arty mind at that time,
and then the public must judge are. As I
went on I recollect that my anxiety became
very intense that my boy should yield. Ilad
the point been yielded I should have felt as
though a mountain had been removed from
any breast. As to whether he understood
what was required of him, probably most
will think that he did nor lat the time
believed that ho did. Under this great anx
iety, with my mind fixed on the necessity
of my toy's yielding fur his own future
good, and expeOting every moment that he
would yiehl, I wns not aware of the extent
to which I had gone, or to the effects I was
• produclog on my child. I suppose my de-,
teethe eyesight had something to do in the
case by preventing my seeing the actual
effects I was producing abut the main cause,
1 believe, was great anxiety and my mind
fixed upon its being necessary for the good
of my child that heihould yield. I was

wish to slate this and without reserve ;
AO, if I know anything of the action of my

You may go a little way in your apprecia
tion of my feelings. But that other pang
of having been in some sense the cause of
the death of your own child, unwittingly
indeed. Heaven grant that you,may never
know that feeling. As the lime wore on
and the averted looks of men met me, shut
out almost entirely from sympathy, which
seemed most precious, nod false public
sentiment resting on me with a crushing
weight,'-while my heart won still bleeding
with as own grief— all was like it gore
piercing me At first my friends rearm that
reason would ho dethroned. And to day
language cannot describe lox yearnings for
my child when my mind reverts to him.
Perhaps I ought to say something inThriew
of the conviction and sentence passed upon
me. It may be inferred from whet I have
said, believing as I do that a former sick
ness had to do with this matter, a sickness
the severity and particulars of which could
be but imperfectly presented in courts, be

ill'hich my physical constitution never has .

look into a newspaper,that this thing could
never have occurred. But as to the con

OUR NEW GOVERNOR.---HOW HE

In bin inaugural, John IV Ornry, the
Governor elect of l'cnn•ylvnnut, made a
special point of the ties end aloises of the
pardoning power. Ile promised greit e ire
and cm cuinspection In the exerciae of this
prerogative of the Executive Shortly af
terwards he caused to be published, over
his own signature, the following regulltions
concerning the issue of pardons which he
promised be strictly enforce," 111.

poor the paper book need not be printed
Simple minded people believed these
rules would be observed, and 'many of the
abases that had heretofore been minnected
with the exercise of the pardoning power,
avoided lint those who were acquainted
with the vacillating character of our new
Governor were not deceived by his profes-
Ile was the fir9t to violate his own regu
lations, and the manner in which it was
done is refreshing to the toroth 'of coons
toncy and honest dealing, viz.
Jonathan Bieber, a Judge of Election, in
Berke county, was recently tried in that
county-for misdemeanor, in having refused
to received the vote of Samuel Reinert, an
alleged deserter, at the October election,
and on trial was convicted The fact was
laid lief... , the Governor by tThe political
friends of the prisoner, and 1111141 he was
called Op for sentence, his attorney presen
ted to the court n full and free pardon from
Gov (henry, rind \lr. Bleb.' was ucoor
tingly liberated
Ile exacted none of the tectiniony which
ho declared to be necessary before the issue
of a pardon, and which he had lard down
to the above regul.itions Ile violates good
faith to shield a partizan friend from pun
ishment, nail hints the decision of the So
prone Court with contempt
