The question really is (and it is an import int one—l will not say an entirely clear one) Aether the reconsideration of a sentence to ‘he manner in which it ha* been done to toiacMeis or is not within the judicial power of the conrt. If it is not, why, you cannot altcr tho law. if it is, then you are not interfering with the Bsecp tlvc or the pardoning power at all by sustaining terrefMrihgtd thcbrlginoftheprinciple, if it might be called one, that after the end of the term tho judgment of the court was boyondthe what here? This rule to show.cause, bring enteri* on the same day,,is nothing but.a judgment nisi, a judgment of a particular Wild unless cause be shown. Is that not the‘ ev “JJSL y practice 1 Wherever the records are kept In accord ance with the formß of law? And then if a mo tion’ for ' a new trial was rnado, wno ever- heard that -the court was obliged to decide that at tho Bame time? Nobody ever.henrd a law of that hind laid down in civil conrts, from which this rule came. Where do your honors find the principle ‘ho common law ? I will tell you; there is no difficulty about it Look at recognizances m criminal cases, What is a lecomoizaiicc? It is a judgment of j it la a debt of record; it is an acknowledgment (with the assent and under the control oi the court) of a debt of record. It may ho enforeed by a scire facias to have execution; you do not ■want anv further judgment about it; it has all the elements of a final judgment of the court- The court have a discretion as to requiring security for the appearance of criminals to take their trial, nnd they may direct a criminal to enter into a recognizance/ That is done. Then at the .nest term! if he does not appear, what is tho conse quence? That his sureties have to pay the debt? Why,- by no manner of means. If, ou/W'J' cation to the comt, the court are satisfied that his non-appearance has arisen from-some excusable circumstance, and that bis sureties ought not to be compelied to pay, what do they do? They de cline to forfeit his recognizances. Take, for in stance, a case in which the court has forfeited the recognizances under such circumstances, and the mauthen comes in and shows agood excuse for ““absence, what do they do then? They may remittheirorder, and there is anend of the mat ter That is hot on interference with the pardon ing power of the GojKrnor; nor is It doing any thing more than the common law has authorized. At the root of the common law lies the principle that conrts of justice are formed for the adminis tration of juste), and that where discretion is given to them they are at liberty to exercise it In the freest manner. „ In England, formerly, every felony had its ap propriate sentence; there was no discretion in tnc conrts, as it had merely to give the sentence, or not give it, and if that sentence, was wrongly given, it became a matter of error. In one in stance, a gentleman wap entitled to a very large estate in Ireland, bnt was prevented from.acquir ing it by the fact that his father had unfortunately been mixed up with a plot against tho govern ment, and had been tried for treason, condemned and executed. But after tho revolution, this gen tleman brought a writ of error in the House oi Lordß, assigning for error that, the court below in passing sentence had not expressly provided that the bowels of his father should be taken out while he was yet living. They had ordered the heart to be taken out, bnt had omitted to men tion anything further in express terms. And that judgment was reversed, and ho got hiß estate back—showing, I suppose, that the House o Lords had bowels as well us brains. | Laughter. | The speaker argued further, that in our own Commonwealth, especially in this county the criminal court had been charged with the respon sibility of exercising its discretion in the punish ment of every crime known to the law, with the single execution of '‘murder in the first degree. That wus oiie thing which had been done. An other thing was that under our statutes hereto fore there had bet n a minimum of punishment as well as a maximum prescribed; so that the discretion of the judge, was limited in one direc tion. Now, by the revised penal code, the mini mum was taken ofl, and the whole discretion was left upon Ujc conscience of the judge to say -what ought to be tho puuithmeuriu a particular had no right to complain of that act, because, as it repealed absolutely all former acts on the subject of crimes, all olfenders whoi at the time of its passage had not been tried for the crimes or which they wereguilty could note-law- - fully be tried at all. Tho criiniuul bur did not , discover the fact, however, but went on con victing criminals, some of whom, for aught the | speaker knew to the contrary, were yet serving out an unlawful imprisonment. [Laughter.J Thenragain, tbe-old-Hhree-months —term of the court had been abolished, and terms of a Binglc month substituted therefor. Discarding the technical question of the difference between Saturday night and Monday morning, and look ing at the right of the matter involved, the.fact was apparent that here we had every crime ex cept that of murder (to try which required two judges'), punishable at the discretion ot a single judge, and that that discretion was not restricted 1 | Then there was also apparent the further fact that to this county there was an average, as the speaker understood, of ifonr.hundred criminals a month io be tried and sentenced within* say, twenty-six sitting days.! It was well known that -wc had a court composed of judges of integrity and conscientiousness; that fact was acknow ledged, and none wonld acknowledge it more freely than would the learned gentlemen on the other side. Now, in every case where the punishment wns dependent upon tho the discretion of the judge, tho convict had a rlebt to present himself with affidavits in miti gation ot punishment. This was as truly a right i which ho possessed as it was a right of the crown to prosecute him; it was a common law right, and one of which he could not be deprived without being made to suffer the grossest practical injnsr tice. What, too, was to become of the right which belonged to the Judge, and how was he to exercise-the discretion heaped and,piled upon him until he was almost smothered uuder it, if he had not sufficient time and opportunity allowed him ? He needed to havu time in order to act with propriety, with conscientiousness, and with a regard for the rights of the prisoner. Therefore, shall he be told that after the term of the Court haß expired ho cannot-, meddle with a judgment or sentence winch was passed during that term? These technicalities the common law Bwept a watt wherever they intei tered with ......... .... mgj.giu rig-pts•'of parties. Had not a-man w>h > had been convicted of the most trilling ofleuce the common law right to preeontmuusell, wit-1, affidavits iu mitigation of damages? This would notbedeniul. ■ The speaker then instanced. the. case oi a man who, having been convicted of ali offence on the last day of a term, desires to present t0..t00 judge - that which will satisfy .the judicial mind that he is not an old Offender, but has been drawn mto his present condition'by means which ho was unable to resist, aud thus obtain, ns is perhap hiß due', a mitigation ol' the severity of his sen tence. But their uonors were hero asked to deny this opporruiiit'- to I his man. and also to deny to the judge, to, some extent, the moms of protect ing his own conscience by preventing him from receiving that information winch would induce him'W impose a lens severe pun is lime at than he • would qtkerwiße impose.

But it la rdpre pen led to the judgO-thathe acted under, apna- he enter* a role with thu >ntontt o i»‘>f subsequently considering the case. He dofes con sider ti, and findß every reasoU tor reducing, or changing the sentence. The query is made, it he could reduce the sentence, could he not also in crease it? But the justification of the alteration was the application by the party m mitigation ol bis sentence. There is no application by the Common-wealth in aggravation after sentence is once pronounced; therefore, the whole object ot the proceeding is diminution. . The speaker then ashed, why should not this privilege be allowed—who is, injured by it i The prisoner was not injured because it was thing td he done omhls application. The judge was not injured,: hut benefited,', bCconso ho was thereby better enabled to discharge his duty. lt the opinion of the court was averse to the right of the judges in this-matter, the probable resmt wouldhe that hereafter the judge wou 1( ! ce an offender to a mere nominal term of i“P r ‘ 8 °" ment, or would defer the aentence altogether until lie has bad time to examine tbe ° lr £-“ stances, which would bo. in effect the iiam as a revision of a sentence, the, only diilcrcnce SStSnSK toe practice well established long before they came up Brewster, on behalf of the Commonwealth, said tout it ,n womlTfccl con- I (Itfiinsltion of his own mind he woolu icei, cuu strained to leave the case where to now was,tou j in deference to toe gentlemen who had pre.wi him and to the general expectation on.tnc pai oMhe profession to hear this question iiA f<*if uroniDtcd to say ft few words. Inc j as hehad°um3erstood ft by very diligent s udy on this subject, had _ .been fully stated m his caper book, which was betore toe smirt He referred to the careful anil lull investigation which the subject hail receimd at his hands, and remarked that the flUt impression upon his mmil w h c “ tll ° oucstion was agitated originally, and before it riDtned into its present condition,was that which naturally occurred to the mind of every lawyer, that the court could not do that wb ‘ l ob for it His first impression,was that there must be some m®.aUe about the matter, for too reason that toe power claimed by the judges was re pugnant ho toe very idea of too {“hlity ofa judgment and an execution—not a. mere judgment, hut an execution. Ul3 =^ onl thought was that the court might bo right, for It was the duty of a lawjer to robpect the action oi tb ße 0 thcn treated the progress of the through its various stages, urging thi' which appeared to exist for its final adjudication lw n. court of tlic lust rtfsOi t« • If the Judge.- of the Quarter Sessions possessed this power by virtue of common or statutory law, or even by custom or usage, and this court so do el arid, the profession would bow to judgment of this court with all due respect, and the Legis lature would limit such a power waliin some reasonable restrictions, and wou tl do this not only for the sake of the judges but for the sake of the cam . m ““‘ t^V M 1 r h vr.!®edUM gentleman who had preceded him (Mr. Mt.rtminj lad acknowledged at the outset that the waß not clear; and a concession like that from a gentleman so experienced and able, coupled with the lmoprtance of the caße, would warrant this court in-pausing ,l_ODg and seriouslv before turing to assert that au authority like that con tended for had its foundation in established law. The pardoning power was one most dangerous to be exeicistd improperly, and one which was open lo abuse, and which had been properly sub ject to the sternest and severest criticism. Serious doubts had long been entertained as to whether the jndgment of a court should not be final, pro bona publico , and whether the discre tionary power even should be allowed in the matter of abrogating punishment—m a word, whether the criminal should not be made to know and feel that the sentence of the law,-once passed upon him, has been forever passed, and is the sentence of the law. 11 the propriety of vesting this power in the highest executive authority o, the State was questionable, bow much more questionable was the proposition to give it to every petty tribunal in the land? In answer to the assumption of the other side, that the exereise of this power was authorized by precedent In the practice of the English courts the speaker commuted the two different systems of 'Government, and sliowr-d their entire dis similarity. The Court of King's Bench was not . only supposed to represent those judicial func- lions which were inherent in the King, bnt also s to represent him in all the majesty of bis.per&ou j ..and lie, by implication and Intendment of aw, , was always present in that court. The Judicial , functions of our Government were exercised , undi r coustitntional n sirictious, which are in the nature of a covenant, binding the people them selves and their officials withiu certaiu limits. The eoneiitution of the State, by virtue of an express power, conferred the pardoning power anil the power of reprieve upon the Governor. It -wus therefore not exercised by nun, bv reason ol'ant kingly pierogative, lor that was I a thing which in this country was-repudiated. The power so given was intended to be exclu sive v given. Tbo people, wlieu they made their constitution, gave ti.eciclusive power of pardon to the Executive of the State, and made him. alone responsible for its übc or abuse, lhe Supreme Court po&reFß the power to .modify sentences—but how? They were required to modify the senti nee so as to make the sentence conform to law, hut they had not the power to ebabgb the sentence. ' The power -given to the Courts of the Commonwealth was to punish ac cording to law; not to modify or abridge, but to iiunirh according to bun. That was the power specified in the statute. From the beginning ot this State—or province, as it was originally— "dowii RTJ 842,na jndge ever dared to assume-the power that was now claimed, and no statute cveu now contained a clause warrantmg the as sumption of any such authority. , . The speaker dwelt at length upon the practice in regard to a judgment nisi, anti then argued further that a convict had a legal right to be heard in mitigation of his punishment, but whi nhe bad sigued away his day of grace, and the indge has pronounced his sentence, which is the < xeeution of the law, what lawyer would stand up and say that was a judgment nm . In regard to whut bad been said on the sub ject of the necessity of this power the speaker said that he did riot uek ike.court to decide the question either because the power waß necessary or uunecessary. He intimated that there was no occaeion for the judge to sentence the criminal mmcdiutelv. There was nothing to hinder a judge who had not-had sufficient tune to consider Ihe character of the sentence which should he passed from withholding his, decision until ho had received all the information he desired. The speaker, referring to the action of the judges in ibis case, instanced a ease which might occur where a parly was arrested On a charge partaking of the character of a political griev ance, and he is tried and convicted, aud a parti san judge, enters a rnlo like that to which refer ence has been made, thus forever closing the door of mercy except through the door ot tue Gover nor. Such antexerelee of authority would bo, in direct conflict with tiro exercise of every princi ple of judicial power as luid down in the con stitution. The court hud been told that this was au attempt to restrain judicial discretiou. Speakiug on this subject, Lord Camden (then Sir Norris Pratt) said: “What is the discretion ot the judge? The discretion ot . the judge is the law of tyrants. It is ulways unknown; it is different in different men; it is casual, aud do pends.upon temper and passion. In the best it is ihCbifeusive, and, oftentimes, the conspicuous caprice of a man. ■ Ir tlm worn, it is every vice, folly and paFsloii-io which human nature is lia ble.'”’ It was to restrain the temptation to abase ibat discretion, to confine the judges within the prescribed limits of the law, to prevent ..the, gtowih of a spirit of censorious and scandalous, icproiuh upon the administration ol justice, that this court was now asked to suy that the power contended for waß not withiu the (ffierction of the judges of the Court of Quarter Sessious.

Mr. Logan, of Illinois, having had read by the Clerk tho response of the Secretary of the Treasury, under date of -lannary 27, to an inquiry in reference to the substitution of ten-forty bonds for five-twenties on deposit In the Treasury to secure (he circulation of national banks, asserted that the sties of ten-forties to the amount of $8,00.000, from October 1,15U7, to January 21, ISIS, were made by order of the Secretary: these,with the cxeeptionof flvo small sales bclngmade st a less premium than tho regular quotations In the New Y'ork market. He bad calculated tbo difference, and found that tho government had thus lost $2 1.28 j, besides thccommisslon of one-eighth per cent, given to Jay Cooke & Co., and amounting to 610,177, mak ing the whole loss $31,41!. He also referred to a letter purporting to be written by (be Secretary of the Treasury to a gentleman con trolling a national bank, stating that he would accept ten-forties in lieu of five twenties at 67#. while in his report the Secretary sayß they had been received at a higher rate than iw. Having made bis statement, .... ha .ask'd, leavo-.-to -offer-a -resolution- directing the Secretarwpf the Treasury to Inform the nouse whether such letMfc dated December 31), ISQ7, was signed bv bint to whom it w»s addressed,and whether the prop ositions therein contained were complied with by the patty to whom it was addressed; also, whether the , sales of ten-forty bonds from October lli, !f«7. tq tat ioiua^n Mr. Holman, of Indiana, suggested whether it would not also be fair to ask the .Secretary of the Treasury whether he has made any .regulations with Jay Cooke & Co. different from those made by his predecessor. Mr. Brooks, of New York, said that the thing looked as if it was a. Wall street brokers' iignt, and 1 therefore he would object. Mr. Loqan, of Illinois, protested that, he had no connection with any Wall street broker.- ' - Mr. Brooks asked whether the resolution came from a committee. Mr. Logan replied that it came from the Committee Of Wavs and Means. Mr. Brooks, in view of that fuct, withdrew the ob jection, and tho resolution wsb adopted. During the discussion Mr. Randall, of Pennsylva nia, expressed the opinion that the revolution was cal culated to do great good, in breaking up, root and branch, the system of secret Bales by the Decretory ot the Treasury with favored brokers, and of payingun necessarily for the conversion of bonds, commissions amountingin ten months, according to a statement in the New York Evening Post, to $91,000. > He had three weeks ago Introduced a bill,.which hadhean re ferred to the Committee of-Ways.and Means, to break up the whole system of paying commissions and to reqnire the Secretary ol the Treasury to advertise when he wanted to make sales or the conversion of bonds, so that every man could see the ins and outs of it, and the trickery of the Treasury in that partic ularity be exposed. Mr. Holman suggested that until all the facts were before the House the character of the Secretary of the : Treasury should not be impugned. Mr. Randall declared that he was making no charge ogainst the Secretary, bnt he had asserted that $94,000 had been paid unnecessarily for the conversion of bonds, and that It was the duty Of Congress to ap ply the axe to the root of the evil Mr. Spalding, of Ohio deemed it bat just to-say that the system of paying commissions bad not origin ated whit the present Secretory of the Treasury.

All the amendments having been disposed of, Mr. Paine called for the yeaa and nays on the passage of the MIL , The bill was passed—yeas 62, nays 36. Mr. Looail of Illinois, moved to amend the title of the Mil by nddfngto tt thti words “and to deprive all cen-commlssloned and volnnteer officers In the ser vice of the United States of promotion adder the law aaltaoar stands.” Mr - Blaine, of Maine, declared that the gentlemen who opposed the amendment looking to a redaction oi the army, misapprehended entirely the scope and object, and pnrporfofthe amendment, and he charged npon them that If they succeeded In their attempt, , they would ba stabbing tbe officers of thirty regiments who Would have to.be mustered oat In a year or two. Mr. Loo an intimated that the amendment bad been offered without the Instructions of the Committee on Appropriations. Mr. Blaine asked what authority he (Hr. Logan) bad to mi ko that statement t Mr. Logan replied that he had the gentleman’s (Mr. Blaine’s) own anthority,-for he had stated" yesterday that he had taken it from General Grant Mr. Banks reminded Mr. Logan that the gentle man's (Mr. Blaine’s) statement was that the proviso was dictated by General Grant Mr. Logan declared that the proviso deprived every non-cothmlseioned officer of his right to be examined for a commission, and operated as a stab against vol unteer officers. Mr. Blaine remarked that lie was familiar with all this howl about stabbing volunteer officers. There were now In commission over two thousand men who received their commissions for meritorious conduct daring the late war, and the question was whether a syttcin should be followed which w ould necessitate the mustering ont of halt of them within a couple of years, or else take such good precautions for a couple of years aa would leave those men in the enjoyment of their commissions. But If West Point was not for the education of military officers, he would like to know what it was for 7 Was it a charity srhgsLi Congress should either maintain the characte*orWcsf Point or abolish It. The discussion was continned In an animated style by Messrs. Blaine, Logan, Schenck, Butler,-Boutwell, Banks and Paine Finally the vote on the passage of tho bill was reconsidered, and Mr. Blaine withdrew tbe ob jectionable proviso. The hill was then passed without the proviso. Mr. HoEnELL, of Pennsylvania, asked leave to re port from the Committee on Agriculture, a resolution instructing the Committee of Ways and Means to re port bills providing for the removal of the internal revenue tax from all usefnl productions; for the ad justment of import and tonnage duties, so as to equalize the disparities in the cost of capital and labor between the United States and other competing nations; to encourage the Importation of the gkUleu laborer instead of the. products of bis labor; to se cure the balance oi trade in favor of the United States, and thus to Insure to tho nation financial sol vency and asafe and permanent return tospecie values to industrial prosperity and tine Independence.

Postponed. From tlie Committee on Port Wardens, Mr Stock ham reported a resolution discharging said committee from tne further consideration of a resolution a.-king the General Assembly of Pennsylvania to pass an act nmhorizingthe Cityof, Philadelphia to make sale of pert of the premises known as Southwark or Almond Street Landing. Mr. On eh* vigorously. opposed buth the resolution and the discharec of the committee. lie said the bill wps infnmous--intended for the benefit ot one man— and entered into a long detail of facta bearing on that assertion. The President said that the merits of the bill were not under discussion. Mr. Hetzell thought Mr. Stockham’s course irregu lar. It was intended to take the matter out of tac bnndeof the Port Wardens and bring it before Coun that onufUigur Tefineriuighfc-lw aggrandized..... . After further debate, In which Messrs. Creely, Har per and others participated, most of the speakers in lavor.of the sale and the discharge of the committee, the resolution was agreed to. The debate was a very acrimonious one, Mr. Creely getting wanned in, the conflict. Several passage-*- )_^_i_a?7n.As-ocGur?ed-4K?tw«en—Mra-MaFeerf-PresklentT ! and Mr. Hetzell. From - the debate it appears that ! .Messrs. Xlarrison, Havermeyer & Co. have an im mense sugar refinery at Delaware avenue and Almoud street, running back to Swanson street: Almond street in ninety-six feet wide, and at Delaware avenue ninetv nine feet one inch. The firm desire to buy from the city twenty-live feet of the street at Delaware avenue, ‘ and thirty-five feet at Swanson street, for the purpose of extending their refinery. This was opposed on the ground that Almond street was now Our largest ship ping street,, on which a great business was done, which increased-every year, tod thentreet ought not tn 'be narrowed, and-iTso the- ground that c-tlier firms had large buildings - there, who had the same rights as * Hai-rl- K>n & Co. It wag advocated on the ground that tno street, after the sale of the property, would bq wide enough; and that a great impetus wsuld be given to the interests of the city. Many petitions, pro and con, were presented from business men on the river front, Mr. Stockham offered a resolution Asking the Leg islature to authorize such sale. Agreed to. Mr. Potter, from a Bpeclal Joint Committee, pre sented a: report concerning the extension of Fairmount Park, already referred tom these columns. Received and accepted. Mr, Wagner presented.memorials from; the. Hoard of Trade, the Commercial Exchange, the bankers, the coal shippers, tho dealers in petroleum, etc., for a new ice boat, ns also a report.
