ALIT LECTURE-NO. 2. Delivered April 6, 1868, at the "School et pesign for AV onten, ,, by, A. 6. Beaten. We have tried to appreciate the importance of learning to see as a first step in art. It is a study we shall never complete,however closely we may often notice nature, for her forms are infinitely vaned and their combination ever new; but we may learn to see so accurately that succeeding studies shall lose much of their difficulty. Thomas Couture,in his late work advises looking at the model three times as long as at our at tempted representation of, it, and by this sug gests the great importance of close observation. This we have endeavored to impress, and recall it as a necessary preliminary to actual work: to that manual labor of art which now demands our attention and skill, becoming for the present a purpose, instead of the means of expressing one, as, an experienced artist would consider it. . We have, until now, taxed the eyes merely,aud while they relax nothing of their vigilance, we ask the hand to their assistance. We have been learning the air of our art and now wish to adapt a base. We have endeavored to see, and now be gin to express the result of sight, carrying on both processes together, working eye and hand in their different ways,yet steadily pressing to a proof of their united efficiency. But the sight is generally tar in advance with most beginners of drawing, for, however vague its practice May have, been from infancy, it has yet been con- A beginner In skating is troubled at first simply to stand upon the narrow base of his steel pedes tals. The muscles which Influence the side action of the foot are unused to the effort sud denly imposed,and until they strengthen, the idea of evolutions upon the outside edge becomes an ambitious absurdity. Aud the, hand must learn in dexterity what the foot of p skater does in strength. It must take years to become fully accustomed to the pencil, 'stump" and brush,so that the arbitrary eye may .be intuitively obeyed. " The child will cover all the paper be can find with the most daring imi tations or suggestions of houses, horses, dogs, angular cats; birds ' locomotives, carriages . and men, while he will hardly ever think of taking a simple model in the book, block or toy before him. The eye 11113 the mind, and the strong lea; of memory retains until the magic influence of paper and pencil opens the door, and images ap pear 1911.11.9% much regard to the order of their coming and a little the worse for their haste. Drawing from memory should not be-discon tinued, and we will consider it again with advan tage; lint as the child becomes a youth or girl the accurate. observation of objects Is requisite, and it finds that this quality of imitation is capable of as close schooling as its idle song or impulsive sentence. It learns that Drawing is an art, and, according as its taientt develop, it either drops gradually out of the race or gains fresh interest and ardor in one of the most beautiful occupa tions of life. If he or she make but an accom plishment or recreation of it, there is yet in its study a refining profit which all may share, and a more true appreciation of the higher and broa&l fields of art which the patient and courageous ff. w "alone attain. Suppose any simple object as, our model, a vase, an hour glass, a leaf, a pear, or whatever is convenient, we can learn from all things. We have a sheet of paper before us and good mate rials for drawing at hand. We intend to draw the actual size of the object,as we can do so more easily than make an enlarged or reduced repro kentariou,which requires an observation of rela tive proportion, and therefore more experience. Our first impressions are in regard to the size of an object, Our eyes notice the height and width, asd with apiece of charcoal our hand commits these impressions to paper. Then we test the accuracy of our eight by actual measurement, and correct, in most cases, our dimensions. The main line or lines of our model succeed to our attention. The centreline, if it be a vase; the line of the core when fruit is before us, or the stem if a leaf is to be drawn. This fixed at its proper angle, which we determine with a plummet or spirit level, we define the object as a mass, without any regard to detail, sketching directly from one prominent point or corner to another, noticing only the general directions of the profile, hs relations to the main line, and the position of each segment or part with regard to those about, above or below it. We now have, as it here, the geometry of the object, its aim pleat form, and it is only by these straight lines that We can fully prepare Ourselves for the com plexity of curved ones, and the confusion of de tail. After drawing the object as a mass we take parts'of it into consideration. Knowing their cor rect proportion to the whole, we think of them, for the moment, as independent of it, and define accurately but broadly the parts of a part, as we bave done' with regard to the unity. If the model is a leaf, we come from the notice of its larger divisions to an investigation of the pro portions of each ono, and a step further brings ne to thereal details ' the serrated edges, which, if we had attempted to draw at once, would have reunited in painful confusion. As we go from stage to stage of the outline in this manner, our lines conform more and more to its irregularity, until, sure that we are at work upon the right plate on the paper, we may indulge in every lit tle twist and turn we can discover. A dangerous indulgence. which, carried too far, will assuredly lead tut down from art to the vagaries of fancy penmanship, and make the acquielton of an opera' glues and microscope an imperative nodes sitY:} • isppermits detail; but where it is followed in Aellance of her great laws of unity and beauty, the baniishes the short-sighted rebel to the Wil ms* labor of the artisan and the menial n*0.611 4 / 1 ' science. nnember that` an outline is rarely definite le the mlodel; We may sharply design a wafer or AnY ativ 004 ill&fatal eudaec a and baYe excuse for it; but What excuSe exists for a hatfl lido se the indicaticfraif the'bright side of a ball When the part indicated is , known to be round and smooth ?

It it his beeffdane sys,tematically, every' dltllculty hail been taken singly, no consideration of detail haapressed tOo Closely 'upon the heals of general proporthltrino . proem has engaged %us at one point until the preceding one has been carried out everywhere. If, it has been done hastily, self-criticism will be as mortifying as it must be profitable. Criticise yourselves rigorously, and do not be afraid of plummet and rule. if they make errors very evident, and occasion much trouble in cor rection, they will nevertheless give now habits of accuracy, and in time be considered our best friends. Now, our drawing may be truthful, to the mo del, and yet in itself appear very weak. Do not confotmd faintness of outline with weakness, or suppose a black design to, be necessarily strong and full of tharacter. If we look at our work it may be. accurate .in direction, while every Intrt is feeble and vascillating in execution. This is,,to a great extent, the result of an unhabitnated hand, but it also evinces a self-distrust which we must overcome. Be sure yon are right, then go ahead. This is a familiar motto, and a good one for daily use. Take all necessary time to see and understand anything ; but do not half accomplish it, and then look up, and then down again, and Then get. interested in the sort of line you are making, and go dragging or twisting on until its destination is reached. This is Whtitgiies all the character and style which we admire in the productions of skillful artiste. We see their perceptions freshly ren dered; we enjoy each decisive stroke of their pen cil, and, instead of cultivating our appreciation of nature to as high a point, so that we may equally well interpret it, what do we do? We scrutinize' this mark and that touch, we know an imitation of them will be some improvement upon our transparent-elate effect of outline, and we commence drawing all kinds of objects and materials with the same marks and touches. Avoid all meaningless wandering over the paper as you would the same manner of pro gression in the street. Do not keep your eyes too long fixed upon your work. Do not imagine you are embroidering or making flourishes about your name or some one's else. Think of your model look at your model, and draw your model with the least amount of work possible to the expression of it. 1 referred sometime since to drawing from memory. All drawing actually amounts to this, as it is impossible to see the model and our work at the same time. The eye carries an impression, and the quicker it conducts - a repetition-ofitthe better; but whether the time is long or short be fore the band acts, the fact of memory is the same, and suggests a cultivation of this qnjlity; an effort to keep, as it were, a negative of- hat we see. A short step in this direction is to have one's drawing in .-a different direction from the model, and not in the easiest place, directly be neath it. 4 further advance is to draw with the model behind one, so that an extreme turning of the head,is necessary while at work. This; how ever,' is a tiresome experiment, which is not worth trying, with the opportunities otherwise offered and the difficulties in all cases obligatory. An interesting pradtice may yet be followed in attempting sketches of the model when quite be yond its reach, and, upon a return to it, com paring the two with careful observation of your errors in the drawing. This will impress form upon you, show just where your greatest fault in the observation of things lies, and enable casual glances to retain more than was their habit. Igen in all profess ions depend greatly upon their memory. The mind of the writer or lecturer is fertile with the thoughts of great thinkers of past generations. The mathematician has the results of certain combinations of figures as firmly fixed. in his head as the multiplication table is'in grhe lawyer has his "modern instances." The doctor his re medies. Why should not the votary of art re serve in the storehouse of memory many results of vision? It is the subsequent comparison which makes drawing from memory profitable, and if *o neg lect this there may be some reason in the aca demic discouragement of sketching without the object before you. After drawing any object stage by stage, as has been suggested, we will find it comparatively easy to trace entirely from recollection, and thus fully evince the better appreciation - of form which a geometric and methodic education in design gives to us. We have now considered drawing from the model and drawing from memory. Under one or the other of these divisions every species of design in picturesque art may be placed, as com position is but a highly developed phase of the latter one. School is not a drudgery, although the scholar in art, as in grammar, may so for a time consider it. She draws from heavy casts of dowers, to be sure, and hard fragments of human form, but in mastering these, cold and lifeless as they aro, she will gain a precision and force by which all that is vivid and beautiful shall be overcome. Her stu dious hours will not pass wearily,for she is learn ing the magical sentences at the uttering of which all the secret and strong doors of nature will yet be opened. She is making the compass that will -vide through all the confusions of a long Journey. The love of study reacts; and at home, or during a day in the country, we return again to object•sketching, make our friends sit for us, pluck flowers to draw from, and find ourselves really at school again, but with greater fascina tions to lead us on. Notice what sympathy there is bore between study and pastime, between school and nature. Duty as the source and nature as the result. I will instance my meaning in a few cases: Suppose we sit down upon it wharf and draw a ship, care and experience in design will enable us to give a very natural representation as far as we can judge. But after we have exhausted artistic criticism, let a sailor look over our shoulder, and how he will open our eyes in his remarks upon the crrers of our spars and rig ging! Little inaccuracies will become so important that our good opinion of our work will be (mite altered. In even the most familiar manufactured ob jects, as a wheel, a saddle, a windlass, we shall of ten Sind something to correct, after calling a me chanic's attention to our representation of them. This brings us to the advantage of having scien tific instruction in our immediate studies. How poorly,we design any part of the human figure before we understand its anatomy! Yet this is neglected again and again in a vain en deavor, by pleasing, superficial study, to avoid the patient research of science. Let something be drawn every day in which we have right to work, from tature if possible, and if not, with the intention of an early compa rison. Let method guide every serious effort, for by it alone can accumulating difficulties be over come. Let patience, resolution and ambitious application accompany our study, and progress toward a high perception of form will be unfal tering and checkless. Design is the most important branch of art, as, in these days of illustration in a thousand forms, we can best realize. The simple outline will . Suggest alike the Circassian and the negro, the ice-bound stream and the summer torrent, the smile of joy and the agony of torture. Through it every sensibility can be excited and the most elevating thought invoked. Unenhanced by the charms of light and shade and color, it will still comprehend more in the simplest efforts than either or both can effect. They may add all the vague and delightful sentiment which is theirs alone and. of which outline robs them in the suggestion—their glory of noon and sunset, of grove and garden—their heavenly inspired poetry, but outline is the reality from which they grow, the truth which they adorn, and which, neglected or unvalued, dismantles and brings all to desola tion. Draw carefully and earnestly, that, being tho roughly strong in this great foundation of art, you may experience other pleasures in reserve, and rear up, not by magic, but by patient appli cation, thu beautiful superstructure of tone and tint which you know will result from a watchful eye, an active mind and a practiced hand, which others will behold as the walls and turrets of a fairy palace.

Mr.,lturnitn objected to the queetlon, west was the conversation. Yiltneits then stated that on the even ing of February 21, Le received a note from the Pri yate,Secretary of the fleildenr, asking him to conic to the White House. He went there, and the Presi dent handed' him papers, being a letter to Stanton and his own letter of authority. Q. You had no hand at all .in vatting those papers or dictating them? A. Nothing, whatever. Mr. Beer,t2--That is rather leading again. Mr. EITAIIIIEST—What was 81Ild by the President et that time to_you, or by you to the President? Mr. Btertrito-.A. single word, sir. Do you propose to_pat in evidence a conversation with the President? Mr. STAINBISBY-^i do. Mr. 'BEITLYII--Between this party and the President? Mr. ferennenv--I do. It was at the time the letters were heeded him by the President. Mr. Bernm--1 haveZ.io objection. Mr. STANBETSIr--Wb t did he gay? A. He said he was deterrnieed to support the Constitution and the lassie, he desired me to do the tame (great laughter); 1 told him I would. [Laughter.) Q. What further took place? A. He then directed me to deliver this paper, addressed to Mr. Stanton, to him. Q. Did you then leave? A. Then I told him that I was going to take somebody out of my department with me to see that I had delivered them; and ! suited that I would take Geneed Williams, Assistant Adju tant-General in my department. Q. Yon told the President you would take him along to witnese the transaction. A. Yes, sir. Q. What did you do then? A. I then went over to the War Department and went into one of my rooms and told General Williams I wished him to go with me; I did not tell him for what purpose: I did not tell him what for, but I told him to note what occurred; I then went to the Secretary's room and handed him the first paper,which was -the paper addressed to him--." Q. What took place then; did he read it ? A. He got up and said, "good morning, " and I handed him that paper and ho pat it down on the corner of his table and sat down, and presently he took it up and read it. He said, "do you wish me to vacate the otliee at once, or will yon give me time to get my private property together ?" I said, "act your pleasure." Q. Dir he ea what tine he would require? A. No, sir: I didn't as k him; I then h ireled him the pear addressed to me, which he read; he aimed me to give him a copy. Q. What did you say? A. In the .meantime. Gee e.ral Grant came r handed it -- to him; he aseed if it was for him; I eald no, merely for his in forma tion; then I •went down to my ov, - n room. Q. It ts below that of the Secretary? A.

Yes, sir; a copy . was' made which I certified as Secretary of War, fen; rim,(Laughter]. 1 took that up and hati'deddi to him; he then -said—"l don't know whetlite - el will ”bey your instructiouti - he stood there; n , ,e , fling more I,m-ed. and I left.

I went into the other room, 7". and I said that I should isms orders as Secreinry War; he said that I should not, or that he would exinn. termand them. and he turned round to Generals Schrlver and Townsend, who were in the room. and directed them not to obey my orders as Secretary 01 Q. Was that on the 21st or 2udi A. The 22d; he wrote a note and handed it to Q. Have you got that note? it. I gave it to you, think (witness searches kds 'pockets); the note was dated the flat. Mr. EITANEIttY produces a paper. (1. See if that is the paper.. A. That Ds it. sir: the body of is tot In Mr . Stanton's handwriting: took It out to General Townsend, a copy Wag made, -Ind Mx. Stanton signed it and banded it to me. Q. W4ll you read it, if you please? Mr. BUTLER said, "Wait a moment, if you please." But PO rapid was the witness that he read the date. .1.c., and bad got as far as ••Sle before the honorable manager could stop him, amid general laczhter. After examination, Mr. Butler made no objection, and the witness read the letter dated February 21, commanding him to abstain from Sewing any order other than In his capacity an Adjutant-General of the Army, signed by Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. Q. Did you eee the Pedant after that intereieu: A.l did. Q. What took plate? hlfr. Boman objected, and argued at come that cotirernationa relating to au act could nut be put In evidence, it they occurred eubeequently to its corn- Mr. STAN - BERT replied, contending that it was clearly admisaible, as bearing on the charges of conspiracy, Ind calling attention to the tact that the managers had introduced a large amount of testimony about ~ onversations which were held long after the date in iliettion. They had put in evidence what General Thomas had said when not on oath, and a portion of his evidence now should be admissible. Mr. BUTLIIII rejoined, challenging the production of Jaw authorities to prove that what one conspirator said to another, after an act was committed, could be put in evidence in his favor, although the confessions of a criminal could always be need against him. Ile expressed the belief that the remarks about support lug the Constitution and the laws were prearranged and manufactured for effect. Mr. SVADTB reminded the Senate that hearsay evi dence of what General Thomas said was introduced upin the pledge that the President would be connect ed with it. Now. the President's counsel propose to ebow Mogi General Thomas himself what were the in etructions, and what was the intention of the Presi dent. At Mr. Bit:Glum - a suggestion, the question object ed to was reduced to writing and read by the Secre tary. He then argued tn. support of the .obj,ection. Be denied that the managers had introduced nearsay evidence. The declarations of co-conspirators were primary evidence. Ho said it was trifling with justice to attempt to introduce the utterances of an •'accused criminal*" in blreown behalf. The Calm , JusTres then submitted to the Senate the question of admitting General Thomas' testimony in regard to the conversation, and the yeas aid nays resulted 42 to 10, so the evidence was admitted. The question was pat to the witness as follows What occurred between the President and yourself on the 21st of February? A. I stated to the President that I had delivered the communication, and that he .lave this answer. Q. What answer? A. The answer: "Do you wish me to vacate at once, or will yod give me time to take away my priNiite propertyl" And that I answered: "At your , pleasure." I then stated that after dellve•- ing the copy of the letter to him he said : " I do not know whether I will, "'obey your inetnictions or resist them." The Preeeddent's answer was: " Very well, go and take charge of the office aDd perform the duty." That was all that passed; thlaWas immediately after giyhche second leiter to Mr. Stanton; the nest morning I was arrested before I had my breakfast; the officer, at my request, accompanied me to see the President; I went to the room where the President was and stated that I had been arrested, at whose suit I did not know. Mr. Bunt" to the witness—Stop a moment. To the Chief Justice—Does the presiding officer under. stand the ruling of the Senate to apply to what took place the nest day? The Jvartca--The Chief Justice so under stands it, Mr. STANBERY, to witness--Go on. Wituesa.--The President said very well, that the place I want it, in the court. lie adviqed me then to go to you, meaning Mr. Stanbery. mid the Marshal permitted me to go to your quarters, at the hotel. I told you I had been arrested and asked you what I should do. Mr. Bu Trim again interrupted the witness and asked the Chief Justice whether that was within thb rules. Mr. STANISEUIC--It is a part of the conspiracy. I.Latighter.l Mr. BUTLER--I have no doubt of it. [Laughter.) Mr. bTANDEItY, to the witness-- Did yon go into the -courts A. I presented myself to Judge Canter. Q. What happened then? mr. °Wet. Mr. ErrawnEßY, to witness—Q. Were you admitted to hall in 85,000? A. I was.then discharged from cuS tody. But there is one point which I wish to state, if admissible; I asked the judge distinctly what that hail meant. .„ Mr. BUTLISIL to witness--Stop a moment. To Chief Justice--Does your Honor allow• that? • Mr. STAtiliEttY, to wlineas—That 18 another part of the case. Q. Bow long did you remain there? A.

Ile made the same answer, "Very well, I wanted to get it into the courts." I then went to the War Office and found the eastern door locked; this was on the 22d: I asked the messenger for the keyiand he told methat be,hadn't it; I then Stanton'sent to Mr. Stanton' room, the one (which he occu pies as en office, and found him there with some six or eight gents; some of them I recognized, and I un derstood that they were all members of Congress; they were all sitting; I - told the Secretary of War that I came to demand the office; he refused to give it to me, and ordered tee to my rooms as Adjutant-General; I refused to obey; I made the demand a second and third time, ana was still refused and ordered to go to my own room. He then said, you can stand there as long as you please. I left the room and went into the Oleo of General Schriver: I sat down and had a chat with him,as he is an old friend; Mr. Stanton followed mg in there,And Governor Moorhead, a member of Congress from Pitts. burgh, Pa., came in; Mr. Stanton told Governor Moorhead to note the conversation, and I think he took notes of it rat a side table: he asked me pretty much thej same questions as • before; whether I Insisted on act ing as Secretary of War, and whether I claimed the office. I 'gave the direct answer, and then there was some little chat between the Secretary of War and myself. Did other members of Congress withdraw th'enr Tell as what happened between you and the Secretary of War after they withdrew? I do not recollect what first occurred. but I said to him, "the nest time yon have . me *Treated," (for I found it was at his suit I was arrested)-- Mr. lirrurt--I object to the conversation between the Secretary of War and General Thomas at a:time which we have tot put in, because we put in only the time when the other gents were there, and, this was something which took place after they had With drawn, The Caner Jr - anon—lf it waa immediately after wards. it was a part of the Emile conversation.

He put hie arm around my taxk, as he need to do, in a familiar manner, and ran his hand through my hair, and turned around to General tichriver, and mid, "Schriver, have you got a bott'e here? Bring it out." (Rogre of langhter.l tichriver unlocked his desk and took out a small vial. The Secretary then proposed we should have a spoonful of whisky.

Never expressed to the President his belief that he could not obtain possession without using force.

Thu croes-eiatnlnation. concluded, the Court adjourned at 3::?t, Governor Geary and the Philadelphia Court.. LiAnntsm•no, April 10.—Governor Gory ha= re ceived, through Attorney General Brewster, state ments from the Clerk of the Philadelphia County Prison. and the Inspectors of the Eastern Penitentiary, ',hots in the number of persons %%nose sentences were remitted by the Courts .4 Oyer and Terminer and I.lcarter Sessions of Philadelphia, from the year 1631 to the prevent time. The -_atemente cover twenty me rages of a closely printed pamphlet, and the fol lowire summary connive rli the material points of interest. The Cle: . 1: of the CouLty Prison certifies that the following number of peruse, in his institution, had their sentences remitted, as follows (they were sen tenced to hard laboo: •Month< , .] Month +; Person_. Rt,olitted i~: 30 278 , .14I; 31 297 IMINIMVIBI 1563 34 344 t! 54 1133 656 58 868 62,1 885 231 In addition to the above, 191 prisoners sentenced (but not to hard) labor between 1860 and 1867,had their terms remitted, while 59 inmates of the Easternren itentiary were remitted between 1511 and 1667. It appears from an inspection of the County Prison list as above, that in many cases the remissions were made after the lapse of considerable time beyond the end of the Court terms, and in numerous instances the prisoners convicted of such crimes as larceny, and burglary, served but a moiety of their original term. As an illustration of this, is John Scott, sentenced in 18411 to eighteen months, and who was remitted after live day's incarceration. In 186,9 the notorious Chaun cey Johnson wee sentenced to one year, and served but two months and twelve days. The crimes of which the prisoners were convicted, were larceny, burglary, riot, assault and battery with intent to kill, receiving stolen goods, bigamy, high way robbery, etc. Governor Geary has this day sent to the Pennsylva nia Senate the following message on this subject: EXECUTIVE CIUMBER. Hannranutiu, April 10, 1808. To the Seiiate and House of RepratiritatiVeB. GENTLEMEN: In my annual message of the Bth January last, the followingooMmunication was tirade on the subject of pardons, vie: "A report is herewith submitted of the pardona. re missions of fines, forfeited recognitanca and death warrants, issued by me dosing She;peat' year; with•a tabular statement of those issued from liti n t, to the, present time. This report Is made In.accdrdance with a sense of duty tette Legislature and the public who have a right to be informed in , what manner and to what extent the Executive clemency has been employ. , ed toward convicted criminals. It is also dire to'the Executive himself that his action inthia regard should, be understood. On no subject has4here been greater misrepreser Union than on that whi t relates to the exercise of the pardoning poWer. , -Acensationstrive repeatedly been published nof its Abu% and eases have been cited mot s , therel of, which were never .even ptemtted 'AO; 'my notice. Criminals were liberated Jitirrt prison after sentence; and clamora reitOnt. tP Attett', pardon cases hti which no appeal fait enteM ,ltak ever been 'Made. Upon investigation ; alias been at, cortaltied that a custom prevails in ,tne Cdartlot (Int! . ivy Sessions of Philadelphia, to re-considar, remit EVENiiiii'i36l4.4l/ 1 11(4,-PriItAliEL : PHIAi SATURDAY; APRIL 11, 1868. and change sentences, weeks and mouths after their delivery, AMIE: Hits,much et _the Miareftereentatien has originated: During Mel:Eat yeae; meaty con victs were thus liberated front the kloYsteeesidE Jail as were pardoned by me frdta pillions in the Conimonwealtbi, besides which a nt i mber more have had their terms of sentence reduced. Hotiv,or whemor under what authority this custom originated, it is im poesibie to learn; but that it is liable to abuse, and is without the sanction of Law, - deems evident. The ari ßen ce te , n a ce nd o s f h a onld nvi4 teLit moa t : serious matter 0 0 u f egrcoazdtemrpatoitotn before it is determined 'upon and delivered; for whole it has become a matter of record, the criminal passes beyond the jurisdiction of the Court, and there is no legal or constitutional remedy, even for errors that may be committed, except through appeal to the Ex ecutive. If a Judge can remit or shorten a sentence he can increase. It„„ and that la a power dangerous to allow any one to wield. And further, if it he lawful for thaludge of one court to remit sentences at pleas • ore it follows that judges of all other courts enould beinvested with the ea me prerogative; and It requires no argument to show to what a dangerous extent it might be used. Happily, the custom appears to he conflned to the court named, as judges in other coun ties disclaim any such authority." Within a few days afterwards the President Judge of the Court of Quarter b efq• lone in Philadelphia spe cially convened tne Grand Jury and delivered a written charge to them on this Embrace. In that charge he admitted that the Court had remitted sentences and discharged prisoners as was stated by me, and assert ed that it had authority for so doing. He declared that after judgment and sentence the practice was for the Court, on its own motion, to enter a rule to remit the sentence, which rule remained open from term to term, until the Court should determine what action should be taken. He also stated that this had been the practice of this Court for many years; that it had its sanction in the common law, and that necessity required it to be done to avoid hasty and unjust ac - tier/. Speaking for the whole bench he then gave notice of a case in which two persons had been con victed warty six months before, when such a rule had been entered, audit) which the Court would remit a part of the sentence imposed at the time of conviction, and discharge the prisoners on the first Monday of February. He said that this was done in order that the Governor might have the question tested before the Supreme Court, and challenged an examination. By my direction the Attorney-General sued out a writ of rror in the Supreme Court. which was duly heard, and the Court unanimously, through an opinion by the Chief Justice, decided the powers claimed was not lawful, and a copy ofthat opinion is herewith ap pended. This decision of the Supreme Court reflect ed the unanimous opinion of the judiciary of the State, as the President of each Judicial District, by letter. has dented his knowledge of any such custom, and. nearly all of them have condemned it as illegal, unnecessary, and judicially impolitic. Since the decision of the Supreme Court I have procured lists of the remissions and commutations made by the Philadelphia Court of Quarter Sessions of prisoners sentenced by it to the Eastern Peniten tiary and the County Prison, and those lists are here with subniqted. Having invited your attention to this matter, and given you a list of the pardons and remissions granted by me. under the acknowledged constitutional authority of - the Executive,- with a brief-of-the Facts,, the names of the persons recommending the exercise of clemency, and the reasons that influenced my action In regard thereto, and as my views were pub- Felr and judicially disputed and censured, I have deemed it proper to communicate to you these facts, arid to turnian you with the knowledge of how many of these remissions were made and to whom they were granted. 11a ir!: th II finally performed my dotir, i Ethan not :igbin refer to the :inbjeet. riONLMON CoUNCIL OF PHILADELPHIA, CI.F.P.K* OFFICE, In accordance with a resolution adopted by the Common.
