AMNESTY AND I'AItDOX Mitch interns! hus qeeu felt in the country upon tho question of the powers of the presi dent to issue his lute proclamation to restore the highest classes of Rebels to their rights, as well as what uiay he the legal effect of this action. The right of the President to do what he has done depends upon the question : first whether his proclamation is an act oi amnes ty and pardon in pursuanco of legislative authority, 01 whether it is a pardou simply as an executive act; and secondly, whether, un der the well-known rules of luw, he can par don, even in tile form in which he has chosen to attempt to do. If his proclamation is an act of amnesty, then it would seem to lie clear that, as the Executive, ho has 110 power to issue it. The Constitution empowers him only "to grant reprieves and ]>ardons for of fenses against the United States" —not am nesty. Now, what is a pardon? Chief Jus tice Marshall, delivering the opinion of the Supreme Court in the ease of the I cited States vs. Wilson (7 Peters), defines a pordij as *• "An act of from t < rower intrfcsled with the execution 01 toe Ucs, which exempts the individual 011 wli-aii it is I- stowed from the punishment the law inflicts for* crime he has commitcd. it is tlie private, though official, act of the Exec utive Magistrate, delivered to the individual for whose benefit is intended, and uot coin umnicated officially to the Court. * "A pardon is a deed, to the validity ol which delivery is essential, and delivery is not complete without acceptance. It. r.iav then be rejected by the person to whom it is tendered ; and if it be rejected, we have dis covered no power in a Court to force it upon him." Jt will be seen, therefore, that the Presi dent's proclamation has none of the elements of a pardon as distinguithed from no amnes ty. It is not a deed to tho individual exempt ing him from punishment. It > 8 not a "P ri " vate though official act of the Executive Mag istrate delivered to the individual for whose lienelit it in intended," but a public proclama tion, us in terms it exempts whole classes in the community, and, if of any avail, obliter ates their offenses. It does not leavo to the individual the option to accept or reject its benefits, as he would have a right to do if it ; were a pardon. Indeed, it professes on its face to be an extension of the acts of amnesty and pardon issued by Presidents Lincoln und Johnson, 011 December 1863, March 2C>, 186-1, and May 2b, 186.1, iu these words:— "I. Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim and declare that the full pardon described in the said proc lamation of the 2tfill day of May, AnnoDoiu iui ISO"*, shall henceforth be opened and ex tended to all persons who directly or indirect ly participated in the late Rebellion, with the i est oral ion of till privileges, immunities, and rights of property, except as to property with regard to slaves, and except iu cases of legal proceedings under the laws of the United States." It is. iu fact, a proclamation of grace and amnesty. What, then, is an amnesty ? Bou vier, in his "Igtw Dictionary," defines amnes ty to be "An act of oblivion of past offenses, granted by the Government to those who have been guilty of any neglect or crime, usualiy upon condition that they return to their duty within a certain period." "Amnesty and par don are very different." * * * "Am nesty is the abolition and forgetfuluess of the offense : pardon is forgiveness. A pardon is given to one who is certainly guilty, or has been convicted : amnesty to those who may have been so." * * * * * "Pardon is always given to individuals, and properly on ly after judgment or conviction : amnesty may be granted either before judgment or afterwards, and it is in general given to w hole classes of criminals or supposed criminals, for the purpose of restoring tranquility in the •State. But sometimes amnesties are limited, and certain classes are excluded from their operation." It will be observed that amuesty proceeds from the sovereign power, and not from the Executive power only, save, perhaps, in time of war, when, for the purpose of suppressing a rebellion or civil commotion, sovereign power for this purpose is vested in the Exec utive. Amnesty is an act of Government which trt fact repeals the law which defines the crime. Pardon is the act of the Execu tive which remits the punishment. Pardon operates on the individual by deed; amnesty upon the community by law. All previous proclamations of pardon and amnesty by President Lincoln or Johnson were authorized by and in pursuanco of an act of Congress, which act has been repealed at the late ses sion for tho very purpose of prohibiting John son from doing this very thing. Chief Justice Marshall again says: —"As this power of pardon had been exercised from time immemorial by the executive of tliat nation whose language is our language, and to whose judicial institutions ours bear a close resemblance, we adopt their principles res pecting the operation and offeel of a par don." * * Now, acts of amnesty have been as imme morial in England as grants of pardon, and it will be found that, save when proclamations ot amuesty and pardon in time of civil com motion have been issued by tho King lor the purposo of inducing rebels to return to their allegiance, as an exercise of the war-making power, all the English rebellions have been healed by acts of grace and oblivion coming from Parliament, sometimes, thongh errone ously, called "pardonsby act ot Parliament.'* Of these, being parts of the public law, Courts must take judicial notice. Marshall gives the reason for this as follows:—"The reason why a Court mast, ex-olficio, take no tice of a pardon by act of Parjiameut, is that it is considered as a public law, having the same effect on the ease as if the general law punishing the offense had been repealed or annulled." In earlier times the Kings of England, bor rowing the practice from the Pope, undertook to issue dispensations, both to individuals and communities, for the commission of crimes and the suspension of the execution of the laws; but the last of such dispensations was issued by James 11, and cost him his throne ; and in the first year of William and Mary, Parliament enacted that no such dis pensation or general pardon by the King should thereafter be granted. And the first subsequent attempt has been made in this constitutional Government by President John son. As illustrating the difference between par don and amnesty, it will be observed that the Constitution empowers the President "to grant reprieves and pardons." The one pow er is as broad as the other. A reprieve is a stay of execution of the punishment of an of fense for a limited time. A pardon is a re mission of the punishment for an unlimited time. Would not the country receive, with a universal smile of derision, a proclamation to reprieve all the Southern Rebels for sixty days? Yet his constitutional power is us broad iu the case of reprieve as pardon. — S. i*. Tribune. - ___ j%m i-or-ouii. READER did you ever enjoy the ecstatic bliss of courting?
