County Prisons
Unfavorable reports are 'made re.
Eipbaing inany of the county prisons.
Some of thorn are alleged' to be inso,
cure and otherwise unfit for the pur
poses intended; others are of insuffi
cient capacity and so over-crowded as
to endanger the health of the inmates;
while the management and discipline
of nearly all might, doubtless, bo ma•
terially improved. The policy is not a
sound one that crowds together, indis

victed of their first and trifling offen
ces, with mon rind women whose
whole lives haVe been blackened with

Pardons
A report is here With submitted of
the pardons, remissions of fines, for
feited recognizance and death war
rants, issued by mo during the past
year,-with a tabular statement of those
issued front 1791 to the present time.
This report is. made in accordance
with a sense of duty to the Legislature
and the public who have a right to.be
informed in what manner and to what
extent the Executive clemency has
been employed toward convicted crim
inals. It is also due to the Executive
himself that his action in this regard
should be understood.. On no subject
has there peen greater misrepresenta
tion than on that which relates to the
exercise of tlie-Hardening power. - - Ac
cusations have repeatedly been pub
lished of its abuse; and cases have been
-cited •in proof. thereof, which were
never even presented to my notice.—
Criminals we liberated from prison af
ter sentence, and clamors raised in• re
lation to their pardon in cases in which
no appeal for clemency has ever been
madb.' ..••
-Former Legislatures have had their
attention called to the fact that per
sons are now confined in our county
prisons under sentence of,death, some
of them for many years, whose death
warrants were never issued, and to
wards,- whom the several Governors,
duribg Whestiterm they wore senten
ced, could not,discover sufficient cause
for the exercise .ot the pardoning pow
er. The custom has'been withheld by
his piedoccisor, ;llMiee;the donv,iets,

remedy this' the Governor shOUld' be
vested with 'authority to commute the

which allusion has been made, to such
a tordi of imprisonment as his' judg
moot 'would approve, and to remove

National Affairs
yContrary to the.hopes of the groat
masses of our people, that portion o 4
tho country whioh.was lately in rebel
lioit 'has not yet .attained complete
tranquillity. And this seems to have
Well:inevitable ;Ihr all history teaches
us-that a people_ who engage in the
perpetration -of • high crimes cannot
entirely: nor immediately escape their
consequences; Nor, .perhaps ' is it de
sirable that- . they,-suould. However
WS May be, it is; certain that perfect
repose cannot be secured until the in
surrectionary States shall. resume
their original practical relation to the
General Government.
flow, when and through whom this
can' he best done, is - the greatest ques
tion of the present. .
. That the views and conceptions of a
single individual, , however high ho
may be accidently and temporarily ex
alted, should be allowed to control or
determine this question, cannot for a
moment be conceded. The Constitu
tion provides that . the United States
shall guarantee to'every State in the
Union a republican form of Govern
ment; and, whore the will of the peo
ple is the acknowledged law of the
land, it requires an extraordinary
amount of-political effrontery to as•
some that a Chief Executive of the na-
Con,' to any degree or under any cir
cumstances, is the United States.
• And yet in effect or substance, if not
in plain terms, this was assumed short
ly after the surrender of Leo and hie
armed forces, by the President ; and
he has continued to act on this assump
tion, even in his annual messages, - in
which, while - claiming, in words un
known to our-forefathers and our in
stitutions, to be the "elected defender"
af•the'people, be arrogantly calls on
Congress to "immediately strike from
tho statute books" its reconstruction
" That Congress "will surrender its
plan of reconstruction" to this mani
festly despotic demand, cannot be even
imagined or conjectured. That plan,
Carefully matured as it was, and fully
'approved when it 'was a direct issue
before the people, is eminently just,
and patriotic.' It insists that men who
Were loyal in acts during' the rebellion,
or:lOyal in their feelings; should alone
pirticipate in- the government of the
:"insurrectionary disericts."'• Gning•ba
yondthe..,nriere iiii•face, it rests ul ti
rnatel,Y on the important doctrine,that
tice . destinice 'of the nation can only be
'safe the hands of its friends'; , Of
those whose political and moral na
tures remain sufficiently pure to feel
.the impulses of patriotism and the _ ob-
ligations of oathe...: : .•
That policy which antagonizes the
Congressional plan, which has oh
•strueted, .and• persistently endeavored
to defeat it, first ignores all these im
portant considerations. Having done
this, it consistently: maintains that
those who devised the most infamous
measures/of warothd for years relent
lessly perpetrated„ in aid of their pur
poses, thieft, plunder, murder, starve
4ion, and assassination ,the very lea
.clersof the rebellion—should be allow
-ad, after their ipvoluntary failure, to
-possess ail the rights and privileges of
good citizens. That a scheme so ab•
_surd and dangerous Aboulti bo sternly
opposed by, every true. patriot, ought
to admit of no doubt. The fact that it
.bas some advocates renders it .more
important to sustain the contrary pro
.position.
In my inaugural 'address, I said,
"that while Pennsylvania will confide
in a,loyal Congress, she will not hesi
itato,to sustain it by her influence and
'power:" This I repeat. Nor can I
be induced to change this purpose; nor
de I believe the people of the State
can be, by.appeals to to the humani
tarianisra a the the age and the invo
cation of mercy for those whose atro
cious deeds have darkened the pages
of our history. ji ; has been well said,
:‘,th E L pity o f the mug: etrate which suf
icrs a criminal dangerous to society
to escape from deserved punishment,
is not mercy, but weakness." Truo
mercy inclines us to pity and -relieve
the unfortunate and guilty; but only
in accordance with justice. And it
may well be added, that it is at least
a weakness, if not a crime, to permit
unrepentant, and Only outwardly sub
dued traitors, to exercise the elective
franchise, hold offices, or take part in
the deliberations and legislation of the
nation. Its stability and prosperity,
the welfare of the people now and
hereafter, cannot_permit these things
to be done.
Individual interests, as well as the
general financial condition of our na
tional affairs would be greatly benefit
tcd by the simplification of internal
revenue taxation,reducing the number
of articles taxed and insuring honesty
and faithfulness in collection. The re
duction of taxes on the necessaries of
life and on manufactures that aro in
competition with the products of for
eign labor should beencouraged, while
the tax on luxuries and imports should
be made sufficient to sustain the ex.
penses of the government.
As regards, the tariff, the protection
of home labor arid resources, I need
only refer to the views expressed in
my inaugural. Time and continued
reflection have strengthened the :views
therein expressed.
Surely the United States should pro
tect and defend her own industry and
skill—her own toiling millions !
I earnestly invoke the blessiong of
Almighty God upon your deliberations,
and that Ho will prosper your exer
tions to promote the happiness of the
people and the welfare of our beloved
ComMonwealth.

The Senate it is thought will
reinstate Stanton as Secretary of \Vat.,
by nearly a party vote. Isn't Grant
good enough for them ?
Temperance State Convention
will be held at Harrisburg, commen
cing Tuesday Feb. 18. All Churches,

Societies, are requested to send dele

ViirA Soldiers' National Convention
to nominate candidates for President
and Vico President, will be hold at
Chicago on the 19th of February, the
day previOus to the meeting of the Re
publican Convention.
gr - By reference to proceedings of
the Soldiers' State Convention held in
Philadelphia, it will be seen that the
"Soldiers' Friend," Andy Curtin, in
the contest for the Vico Presidency,
beats all opposition combined, 139
votes. The Soldiers of Pennsylvania
have not yet gone back on their friend,
and we hope they never will.
gel-There was a Limo when parties
could anchor somewhere. To-day we
find the "Republican Party" and the
"Democratic Party," as party organi
zations, at sea, drifting here, there and
everywhere, hunting for a safe place
to anchor. Both parties aro confused
--their leaders differ as to the right
and strongest man to anchor upon for
the Presidency. It not enough forcer
Min Republican leaders to know that
a man is loyal, honest and Capable, but
ho must also be jests° to suit their radi
cal notions. With the Democratic lead
ers, the question is, has this man been
with us always, during the War and
since ?--bas he always opposed the
Union and Republican partie;? When
the party organizations anchor we will
publish the fact.
zuar•Thoro appears to be,no cessation
of so called "Democratic"
,victories. At
a local election in Columbia, this State,
the Democracy carried the day. .The
people appear to be determined to give
Clio party -in power—the Radicals—a
permanent warning that they have
been carrying things with too high a
band. If they do net listen to these
silent but meaning warnings, they will
see that before the year closes the last
vestige of their power will have van
ished. The people will 'not blink at
corruption, nor will they support Rad
ical men or Radical measures. Anoth
er year of unchecked Radicalism would
plunge our country into a worse con
dition than the darkest period of the
rebellion.
The "Dead Look" at Harrisburg.
The "dead logic" ire the House of
Representatives for four days last week
created considerable feeling there and
talk in political circles throughout the
State. It was a performance not ex
pected, as it had not been previously
announced aim part (if the programme.
We "dropped in" on Wednesday while
the balloting was going 'on and soon
learned the difficulty, when wo deter
mined to "see it out," and remained
until 'Friday afternoon when an or
ganization
was had by the yielding of
the "bolters." The "bolters" wore
some of the best members of the House
and reliable Republicans. For reasons I
then best known to themselves and a
few of their friends, they by their ac
tion protested against the election of
Mr. Davis, as Speaker.' To know the
men standing out was all that was
necessary to be convinced that they
could not be driven from their position.
They wore sure they wore right and
as honest men they were compelled to
go ahead. To us, as an "outsider,"
there was music in the struggle. But
wo were not so far outside that we
could not see the workings of the "ring"
—and the more we saw the more anx
ious were we that the "bolters" should
stand fast to the position they had ta
ken. It was a struggle—an honest ef
fort by a few men to defeat the tyran
ny of a majority—to defeat a "ring"
holding control of legislation. ' What
has boon done heretofore may be done
again. An unscrupulous minority back
ed by a "green" majority may so login
late as to disappoint the honest people
and escape punishment. Majorities are
always held responsible for corrupt leg
islation, but the minority—those mem
bers in the "ring"—are most generally
able to cover up their tracks and escape
the wrath of an outraged people. Many
of our readers will be surprised, we
have nb doubt, when we tell them that
a "ring" is composed of the most cor
rupt members of both parties, to whom
the country must look for legislation.
The legislation of last winter defeated
many for re-election who then occupied
seats in the House, and we venture
the assertion that nearly all the un
popular legislation was concocted with
in the circle of is "ring" composed of
both parties. It was to defeat the cor
rupting influences of "rings" that the
"bolters" took the stand they did, and
for their efforts they should have the
thanks of honest men of all parties.

The Pennsylvania Legislature.
Both Houses met on Tuesday at
noon of last week. The Senate im
mediately organized by the election of
Speaker, Clerks, and other officers
agreed upon in the Republican caucus,
and proceeded to business. On Thurs
day the Senate adjourned until Tues
day, to day.
In the House there..was no organiza
tion on Tuesday; nine Republicans
who remained out of caucus, and re
fused to be controlled by the action of
the caucus, voted for Mr. Ewing, Re.
publican, leaving Mr. Davis, the Re
publican nominee short of a majority of
all the votes of the House. The same
difficulty continued from day to day
until Friday afternoon, when the Re.
publicans bolding out presented the
following paper to bo entered upon the
minutes, and voted for the nominee of
the caucus, giving him a majority of
five over the caucus nominee of the
.Democrats. The vote stood Mr. Da
vis 50, Mr. Jones 45—several members
of both parties being - absent, but
whose votes would not have changed
the result. The following is the pa
per presented by the "bolters" :
11.0USg OF REPRESENTATIVES, }
January 10, 1808.
We, the undersigned Republican
members of the Rouse of Representa
tives of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, having declined to attend the
caucus of our party friends, held for
the purpose of making nominations
of persons to fill the offices of this
House, and having up to this time
withheld our support from the nomi
nee of said caucus for the position of
Speaker, desire to lay before this body,
our immediate constituents, and the
people of the State, the reasons which
have . influenced our action.
We have been opposed to the elec
tion of the candidate for Speaker pre
sented by the caucus above referred to,
becanse 'we believed and still believe
that the will of tho people and the in
terests of the Republican party at this
time, in this State, demand the elec
tion of a Speaker with, among others,
the following qualifications :
One who is in all respects
free from responsible connection with
the past legislation of this body, con•
siderod offensive by the people.
Second. Ono whose record and life
show him to be in favor of reforming
the abuse that have crept, into the
management - of public affairs In this
State; and of retrenching in all practi
cable ways the expenditures of the
Commonwealth.
Third. One who has not boon iden
tified in the• way that would be likely
to affect his official action with any
corpofation in the State that has here-
Wore shown a disposition to monopo•
lize privileges, to exercise powers not
granted by charter, and to control leg
islation by improper influences.
Fourth. One who would so consti
tute the committees-of this House and
so direct its action as to carry into ef
fect in good faith the will of the party
to whom we belong, as expressed at
its convention, held at Williamsport, in
favor of the passage of a Free Railroad
Law.
And judging the candidate for the
Speakership favored by the majority
of our party friends by the votes in
this body, by his published remarks
and by his surroundings, we have not
deemed him the person best qualified
to meet the just expectations of the
Republican voters of the State, or to
give strength to that party organiza
tion which saved the country from dis
ruption by war, and to which a patri
otic, people look for wise government
in peace.
Our temporary separation from
those with whom we have heretofore
noted has been painful to us. The step
was taken in the first place, from no
fooling of disappointment or revenge,
from no disposition to he factious, with
no intention of becoming disorganizers;
but with claim to have been actuated
wholly by a high sense of duty to our
selves, to our constituents, and to the
party whose best interests we have al
ways tried to serve.
And at no time has the thought
been °entertained by any ono Of the un
dersigned hf casting a single vote, un
der any possible circumstances, for tlio
candidate supported by' the party call
ed Democratic.
Our whole purpose, from the begin
ning, has been to secure time for re
flection on the part of the majority of
our owl) party, hoping that on second
sober thought'they would see the mis
take they had made and hasten to cor
rect it; and time Ibr the people to so
ezpress themselves as that those who
are but• their servants could not help
being madeacquaint ed with their voice,
and through it might be willing to
yield to the popular demand. Minori
ties have responsibilities as well as
majorities, and as such we feel that wo
have discharged our duty.
In the - hope that a change would be
effected by a little delay, we have not
been elisappoitrted.
The candidate for the Speakorship
presented by the majority has not been
withdrawn as we hoped he would be,
but he has given us pledges and assur
ances that we feel we have gained sub
stantially- the object we aimed at, and
that our course will be fully justified
by the prudent and independent char
acter of the legislation that the party
in power in this House will enact dur
ing the present session.
Not having, therefore, any further.
end to gain that will justify a longer
delay, and desiring that the House be
organized as speedily as possible, that
the public business maybe transacted.
we will bow respectfully to the will of
the majority.

Mr. Davis was then conducted to

when the House adjourned until Mon
day evening.
IK6 - --The action of the Soldiers' State
Convention held in Philadelphia last
week, is a stumbling block in the way
of the unscrupulous politicians of the
Radical wing of the Republican party.
The soldiers who did the fighting to
crush the rebellion have agahradvanc
ed to the front, and we hope they will
stand there, and not yield to an influ
ence which, if it should be successful,
would forever defeat the Union senti
ments of the whole country. GRANT
and Cuans---men in whom the loyal
people had confidence during the war,
and still have, cannot easily be set aside
to make room for mere agitators and
extremists. Day is breaking, and the
dark and threatening clouds which
have been hanging over the country,
aro also breaking. The extremists,
the disturbers of peace and harmony,
are fast losing their influence, and the
will of the loyal people will soon bo
heard and obeyed. Our sentiments
are uttered from an independent stand
point.
A NEW BILL.—The Reconstruction
Committee has reported to the House
a supplemental reconstruction bill,
which gives General Grant control of
the commanders of tho military dis
tricts, and makes all of their orders
subject to his approval. Thad. Stevens
voted against the bill in committee on
the ground that it did not give the re•
construction conventions the power to
abroga.to the Sruthern State civil gov
ernments.
Now and Then.
A correspondent of the. New York
Times, writing from Columbia, South
Carolina, under date of Jan. 2, says:
"The Christmas of ton years ago did
not come to the good people of Colum
bia on the 25th of December, 1867. It
was tote cyclo different. The streets
were crowded with negroes, it is true,
but they were sullen and morose.—
They stood about the corners and the
pie shops in groups, staring silently or
mutteringly about them. They chaf
fered for a loaf of bread with the shop
baker, with the Jew clothing
storekeeper for some garment of wear
ing apparel. Ragged and hatless,
shoeless and shirtless, without money
or clothes, or credit, or hope, the negro
of to-day is a pitiable contrast to the
negro of ten years ago. Then he was
clothed (coarsely it is true, but crothed
decently ;) fed in the same style, doc
tored when sick—all by the superior
vigilance of the superior race. Now he
is in rags, broadless, sick;, and has to
lie in the streets for want of a home.-
- Nit this poverty is incident partly to
the ruined times, and not wholly to his
independence; still the two concur to
make the matter as bad as possible.—
The crowds on Christmas day instead
of boisterous mirth, scowled around,
casting sullen and suspicious looks on
all white men ; who returned the looks
with glanoos of mingled estrangement.
suspicion and pity. But the cordiality
is absolutely dead. The races distrust
each other thoroughly. Both races
may make speeches about it as they
will, and utter generous sentiments
about unity of interests, working
shoulder to - shoulder, ono common
country and all that; but it is a mock
ery, a terrible burlesque of sympathy.
Say what they will, both know it is
eternal alienation; it is a feud with no
reconciliation ; it is a war of races,
with no hope of peace • it is a contest
until extermination;- it is an issue of
life and death—life to one and death
to the other. - All this, one could read
in the lowering, sullen, silent looks
that one met every step on theAtreets
upon Christmas day.
