It la very easy te arrant pardons Indiscriminately and te yield te the manifold influences that beset an ezecu tlve In this behalf. It is even easier te grant none and te sternly set up a false standard of executive inflexibility which majrwln the cheap applause of the 'i iiv-mInatlen. te welsh the considerations v inisninirinr lyuii lu iua&a uia iHtuciib fjfW public policy and prlvate right, te - Keep in view we qualities or. mercy anu of Justice, and te brave public criticism tf simply doing what the right, of each case demands, requires the very nicest discrimination, the best qualities of mind nnd the highest executive talent s In none of the duties of his high office has Governer Cleveland been mere successful than in the discharge of these relating te the pardoning power, nnd his statements from time te time of the reasons moving him, which have accom panied his pardons, have been singu larly conclusive and convincing. Critical opponents who have.cenceded little else te him linve given him unqualified praise en many of these occasions. It is notable that he has shrunk from no responsibilities which this important branch onus duties Imposed upon him ; nor has he hesitated te correct the mis takes of courts and Juries when bis own judicial investigation of a case convinced him that there had been gross error in the conviction or abuse of judicial power in the sentence. In a recent peculiar case brought te Gev.Cleveland's notice, a prisoner had been convicted of arson, because he had tried te burn a hele through the cell in which he was incarcerated, in order te make his escape. The evidence Bhewed that precautions were taken by the incendiary te prevent the destruction of the building ; but the judge, through palpable error, neglected te direct the jury tcpass upon the ques- 5lAcWk Ckl.lttAtt:- ttnil Irt ftnA thn n.linnA. guilty only-Jn case they arrived at the t conclusion that his purpose was te destroy the building, which alene under the New Yerk decisions could make out case of arson In the first degree, of which he was convicted. Governer Cleveland went into the law and the facts of the case, nnd Indisputably estab. llshed a justification of his pardon of this man Improperly convicted ; the judge who tried him does net dispute the righteousness of the pardon. Our own Deard of pardons In this state, which stands between the executive and the suppliant, has established a different policy. It has made, we believe, the inflexible rule te hear no application for pardon unless based upon new facts developed since the trial and sentence; se that no matter hew erroneous the conviction or outrageous the. sentence, the pardon power cannot be Invoked te correct it. A case in point : In our local court within the past few months a man convicted of a brutal attempt te ravish, another for a murderous assault en his wife, and a third for assault with Intent te kill his sweetheart en the highway, each, get substantially the same or a less severe sentence than a batch e tramps whose sole proved offense was vagrancy. The severity of the tramp sentence was shocking ; and yet there is no power In Pennsylvania te mitigate it I The rropescd Treaty lTJth Spain. A lively nttentien Is given te the tieaty with Spain, which is just published in advance of its submission te Congress, Tue treaty relates te the commerce be" tween Cuba and Perte Itice, colonies of Spain,and the United States. It proposes te admit many of the produets of these foreign islands into the United States free of duty, and upon ethers the duty la reduced. In return, Spain permits the introduction of some of our products into Cuba and Torte Itice without duty and at reduced duties. The first im pression made by the scheme la that it is a geed thing for Cuba and Perte Itice ; because their population is very mueh smaller than our own, and se their 5 uunkefc for their goods Is increased te a far greater degree than ours. The next strong impression made is, that if it is a geed thing te have this fice trade with these small islands, r wherefore would it net be well te have it with the rest of the world. And theaa Impressions are likely te be deepened the mera the matter Is con sidered. There appears te be no geed reason for selecting Cuba aud Perte Itice te ba especially favored with a free import of their products. The most important of these are sugar and te- P"bacce. We grew both in this country, and from both derive a very large revenue in import duties. The tariff laid upon them is one for revenue only ; and yet It gives incidental protection. It may be well te let sugar in free as an article of general use, but if se, It should be permitted te come In from all the outside world en the same terms, and net simply from West India planta ' tlens, even though speculatinr citizens 1 of our country have acquired large in terest there. If anything should ceme In free from Cuba it should be its iron ere ; in which, however, the men who made the treaty seem te have had no interest. Tiie supreme court of the United States has decided by five justices against four dissenting, that a railroad empleye who is injured by the carelessness of a train conductor can recover against the railroad company, since the conductor and the empleye, who was in this case the engine driver, are net fellow servants In the sense that would free the company from liability te them for the negligence , .of each ether. The conductor wm In , inperlur authority te them, and therefore r made Uie company responsible te them , .for bis carelessness. This Is an import it tj Mt modification of the decisions upon te subject, and will subject railroad $wmhwiii w jiuumiy in many cases in wUleh they have generally been sup. I paM4 tejbe free from It. TnK United (States supreme court has decided that the act of Congress which was Intended te keep the Chlncse out of the country was ineffective se far as con cerned the Chinamen who were In the country at the time under the favor of the treaty with China, and who wanted te ceme back after leaving it. Justices Field nnd Bradley dissented, nnd the former thought the decision nullified the law, 03 every Chinaman would bring witnesses te prove that he was an old resident of the country en his return te it after a visit te his relations at home. Quite probably Justice Field is right ; but the law is one which should never have been passed, ter tne sufficient reason that It snuarelv violated the treaty with China. The supreme court said that it was its duty te reconcile tue law with the treaty, aud if it did it by making the law practically Ineffective that was the fault of Congress for making the statute te conflict with its treaty. m mm m in The Philadelphia Recerd remarks : "All plumbing iu a bouse ought te be ex posed and painted.

The future of wine growing In this country as an element of our material de velepment that is seldom taken into sufficient account. France ha3 turned out ever a billion catiens of wine in a year and yet California has as large au ncreage adapted te grape culture as France ; besides the Paolfle slepe this country win have two ether great regions for vlni culture ; the second, the Piedmont slope or table lands between the Allegheny mountains and the Blue Ridge, including the states of Virginia, North and Seuth Carolina, Oeergia and pirt of Kentucky and Tennessee ; and the third the Indian territory, with large parts of New Mexico, Arizona and seme parls of Arkau.'as and Kansas te draw 'rem. Besides these is the Texan ceuutry, and the lake auore graps region. In all we have 100 acre3 for grape growing for every ene in France. In 18i0 the United States consumed three million gallons of native wines and im ported uine million gallons ; this year it Is estimated that five million gallons were imported and twenty-eight million gallons produced here. The California crop is nearly atways sure, while that of France is uncertain.

The Caldwell ohureh, built up and pros pered by the labors or sueh pious and de voted men as have been its pastors, has much iu its centennial year te ehasten and coneeerato its history.

Be far as observatlou went or report oiraete me, I ju'ge that there is lira individual greed for offleo in the Seuth than in the North ; though there is a very determiucd and deep ssated desire te be rid of the administration of federal power by aliens. Mavichutetts, by the way, was the first of the thirteeu original oelonies te intro duce slavery and Georgia thb last. Oa Peach Tree atreet, Atlanta, at a oerncr, just about whero the business part of the city begins the Capital club has established itself in a splendidly equipped elub house, late a handsome private residence Whoever is lucky enough te share IU hospitality gets no ne quaintcd with an admirable cuitim. But Atlanta courtesy knows no limitation. Besides the reception of the Legislature, n diuner at the elnb, an entertainment at Mr. Robt. Lewry's. and a reception by Gov. MoDauiel and his accomplished family at the oxeeativo mansion, Mr. Randall and his friends were break fasted by Majer and Mrs. Mlmms ; an elaberate lunch at Mr. Grady's and ether private entertainments made a round of aoeial enjoyment that introduced the Northern strangers te delights of home life that happily are bounded by no state lines. It was the great gratification of Mr. Thaekeray, he said, te find in this oenntry " homes as pure as ours, firesides llke ours, domestle virtues as gontle," i. am tnore struck by pleasant resem blances," he said, 4,than by anything el.e." These knew no North nor Seuth, and I carry with me the most fragrant memory of that rare combination het walajs and preserved figs. Gan. P. M. B. Yeung tells a geed story of his classmate and roommate at West Point, the late gallant Gen. Custer. One morning during the war Yeung, who was reoennoiterinc near Alexandria.

Tbe Maeen TtUgraph and Augusta Constitu tionalist are two of the foremost papers in the Seuth, but the Constitution has far mere extendsd circulation than either of them, and no paper seutn of the Ohie approaches it in influence and onterprlee, unlesj it be the Louisville Courier Journal. The Constitution, dally and weekly, circu lates net only all ever Geergia.but through Alabama, Tenncszee, the Carel mas and adjacent states. Its prestige and power are greatly aided by the persennel of its publication nnd editorial staff, Messrs. Hewell, Grady, Hemphill and Finch, being potential faoters, net only in politics aud the business life of the town, but iu society and every high enter prise. Hewell is president of the com. pony that is building the Kimball house and Grady is well what isn't he ? I did uet think he was, bnt they pointed me te a big Methodist church and told me it was chiefly distinguished for Grady's membership in the beard of trustees. Senater Jee Brown, by the way, was a Baptist preacher; and Senater Colquitt a Methodist preaeher. Colquitt's sisters were pupils at the Litltz female seminary nearly forty years atre under Principal Frueauff ; and se was Mrs. Hardeman the estimable wife of Georgia's Congressman at large. Hardeman mads a hit in his jubilee speech when, tenderly alluding te the carpet baceer. he said "The Lord eave. and tbe Lord hath taken away ; blessed be tne name ei tne JjOril." .

And Sidney Lanier 1 What state can show three brighter names than these blazing out of the war cloud? Rev. Dr. William Hayes Ward has told in his fit memorial hew Lanier was summoned from hooks te arms ; hew he remalued a private te the olese of the war ; of the touehing companionship, In all vicissitudes, of his flute; hew he sketched the unfold ing, and hew he longed for the extermlna. tlen of the germ of the 'atrange. ener raeus, terrible flewsr of war."

Although It was well known that Gardner bad defeated Fratielecus lu no less than tilt ee successive iiiatehca this season, the latter wait the favorite lu the peels, and odds of 10 te 7 nnd B te 3 wero glven upon him.

Three birds succeeded in 'eln.'iug all of thorn by Hi in? very high. The otbers were struek and se m my shots wero tired at times that it was very difficult te tell who killed them. Saveral times there were disputes ever birds of this kind. Upen tw-Cr tliroe oeoisions when bints get among tbe outsiders it looked dangerous for the spectaterr, en the graud stand, as the cunnets in their anxiety te kill tbe blids did net leek whero they were Kboetinjj, ami they were just as likely te land a lead t f shot in tbe neck of seme oue in attoudanee as they were te etrlke the pigeon It Is certain that a number of persons were only sived from being badly wounded by tbe birds suddenly changing their eur&u when near the grand stand.

Some were armed with guns and were very anxious te get a shot at the cotton tail. After a hunt of seme lniimtes ene boy killed the animal with a stone and bere it triumphantly te the crowd, te the disgust of theso with gims, some of whom did net eet a chauoe te empty their weapons all day.
