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

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.

ExarninallOra of Adlltitittaillf'Peneral

After the meets; General' Gotenzo Thomas was
MOM, and, on examination by .1111. Stanbery , Wetland
as to his rank in the arm y and his appointment as
Adjutant-Gelieral, in March, 1t11; remained in office
after Mr. Stanton's appointment. was - sent by hint to
. various parts of the country, to organize and inspect
. troos; &c.; organized about eighty thousand colored
troops; ' ll ls last speCial duty at Adjutant-General
was pezformed about the close et. 1867; was restored
'to oflice duty as Adjutant-General by order of the
Pretident February 18, 1%8; saw the President soon
afterwarde.
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. Below
General Schriver'e room.
Q. On the lower floor? 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.
Q. Was General Grant there at the second inter
view? A. No, sir.
Q. Did General Williams gehP - with yea the second
time? • A. No, air.
Q. What time of the day was till.? A. I think it
was about twelve wherel went to Fee the Seereiary.
und after that I came down to the Presider,:,
one o'clock, I anppote.
Q. Immediately after yo u had written the order to
close the Wheel' A. Yes
. .
(?. Warthat ati that occurred beta - : en v0 . .3. and the
'...••ecret:op on the:Nat? A. I think I.tivaa: oh, no. no: 1
via, tMnizin2 of the t?-2e.
What followed? A. 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. I suppose
I was them altogether about an' hour; my friends came
in to give bail: I had nobody with me, not oven my
Q After you were admitted to bail did you go to
the War Departmentthat day, the .A. I did: I
think the other, matter r Was going .tia 'mention is
material to me.
Mr. nt;TI,EII.—I will withdraw the. objection if the
witness thinks it material to him.
Mr. STAwasny, to mdtatess--Very well. what I s
the explanation you wish to make? ,

ment. A. I . went , : fragiediatelvto 'the President
alter giving bail, and stated the facts to
him. 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.
Mr. RV:LEE—Does General Thomas say it was the
same conversation.
. .
Witneee—Mr. Manton t;,:rned to me, and got talk
ing in a very familiar manner with me; I said, the
next time you have me arrested, please don't do it
before I get aomething to eat. [Laughter.l Have
had nothing to eat or drink today. [Continued
laughter.) 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. I said I would like a little General Schriver
poured it out into a tumbler and divided it equally.
Mr. STANnEnx.—lle shared it then? A. He took the
glasses up this way iindicatir.g) and. measured them
with his eye, presently a meeeenger came in with a
full bottle of whisky, and the cork was drawn and he
andti took a drink together.
Was that all the et,:hlbited that , day? A.

duce the change. His intention to use force was in
reverse of the President's orders. Never expressed
to the President his belief that he could not obtain
possession without using force. Sug

(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

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

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.
