Tbe Presidents Amnesty Proclama- tion. The Judiciary-Committee of the Senate, to which wos referred the message of the President of tho United States, communicating in com pliance with the resolution of the Senato a copy of the proclamation of the President, December 25, 1868, purporting to extend pardon and amnesty to a class of persons guilty of treason, etc., respectfully report: It purports, by the will of the Executive alone, independent and supposably in spite of tho law making power, to grant, by general proclama tion, ‘‘full pardon and amnesty’’ to all persons engagt d in the late rebellion, to all traitors, with restoration of all rights, privileges and immu nities under tho Constitution, etc. Tbe exercise of this high power is asserted by virtue of tbe power and authority vested in him by the Constitution, and in the name ot the sovcieign people of the United States, and it is insisted that this act of tho sovereiga people, through the President, is authorized by the clauses of the Constitution which declare, “the Piesident shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offences against the United States, except in cases of impeachment,” and that the proclamation is in Btrict accordance with tho judicial exposition of the authority there con ferred upon the Executive,as would be seen by re ference to tbe accompanying papers, etc., and in conformity with the precedents established by Washington, in 1795, and followed by President Adams in 1800, Madison in 1815, and President Lincoln in 1863. and by the present Executive in 1866, 1867, and 1868. The committee, after a careful examination of the subject, have no hesitation in coming to the conclusion (hat the proclamation in question was wholly beyond the constitutional power of the 1 resident, aDd that it can have no efficiency to (be end sought to be reached by it. Tho opera live words are “pardon” and “amnesty,” the first of which is found in the Constitution and the latter is not. The Constitution, with its weighed and carefully chosen language, permits the President to grant reprieves and pardons, not pardon and amnesty. These two words have hi en known and used in tho low for a hundred 3 ears, und their scope and meaning have never b> en a subject of dispute. They are not synony mous or equivalent. They import, as they al ways have done, widely different things. A relercnce to history and to the standard law books will demonstrate this fact. Pardon, in the English law, ns it had existed down to the forma tion of onr Constitution, and as it still exißts, was an act of executive clemency, proceeding person nllv lrom the king, either directly by the sign manual, or indirectly under the great seal, to a specified person named in it: and the effect was, if be chose to avail[himself of a, to relieve him from the punishment and losses not already suffered for tl e specific crime named in the instrument. It did not look backward, but only forward. It did not restore what was lost, bnt remitted what was yt tto be suffered, i See Blackstone’s Commen taries, vol. 4, title Reprieves and Pardons. And to jealous was the law of England ou the subject that until a comparatively recent period the royal prerogative of pardon was coDflned to a limited class of offences In which the presumption might exist that the accused was morally innocent, and the power was otherwise hedged about with many other safeguards against abuse not neces sary to be here referred to. The power of general p .rdon by proclamation did not exist and was loi claimed by any English soverelgn.as the com miitce believe, after Great Britain had a constitu tion and a settled jurisprudence, although it was frt (jnently exercised under and by act of Parlia mfrnt. From the earliest years of the reign of Eliza beth, 1536, until after the American Revolution, amnesty waß an act of oblivion of past offences granttd by Government to those who had been guilty of crime. It was an act of sovereign power which effaced and caused to be forgotten the ofl'eDce itself, and it made it the same, so far as the public was concerned, as if the offence had never been committed, and by consequence it operated a restoration of all rights, etc., which a purdon did not. One instance will illustrate its difference from and superior effect to a pardon : It purified blood corrupted by attainder and mode it inheritable, which pardon did not; it was granted by the sovereign power to the whole classes of offenders for the purpose of sustaining tranquillity in the State. Thus it will be per c( iyid that amnesty is a larger power than par don, operating upon the crime instead of the criminal, and effecting restoration and restitu tion ub mitio, instead of merely remitting unex ecuted punishment, and proceeding, like what is culled a general pardon. Dot from the Executive, b< be kiDg or president, but from the Govern ment, the sovereign power, which in England was the King, in and with his Parliament, as iu the Vnited States it is the Congress acting with the appiovnl ol the President, or by a two-thirds vote without It. Tho clear conclusion is that under the English system of government no power either of amnesty or general pardon ex isted in the King. The knowledge of these legal linns, “umnesly, pardon, reprieve,” and of their si ti ed meanings and effect, must have existed In the Constitutional Convention of 1787. That body, striving to bridle all powers of a kingly nature rather than to enlarge them, did not choose to use the word ‘ amnesty" at all in the Constitution, and conferred upon the Presi dent the power simply to grant reprieves and pmdons, the one expressing a temporary and the other a permanent suspension of punishment on an individual offender. The committee further express their views, and reply to tho authorities given by the President for it suing the proclamation, and conclude aB lollows: They are of opinion that the power attempted to be exercised in the proclamation referred to, togranlu general and amnesty By tho President by proclamation, withoultheauthority or assent ol Congress, hue no foundation in the Constitution or luwb, and that the exercise ought not t 6 be continued. They therefore report a re solution that, In the opinion of the Senate, the proclamation of the President of the 25th of Do i ember, 1868, purporting to grant pardon and umnesly to all persons guilty of treason and acts of|boßlilily to the Culted Slates during the rebel liojn, with restoration of rights, etc., was not au thorized by the Constitution or laws. The subject lies over in the Senate for future action.

Tbe Dempsey murder Oyeb and Tkrminer Judges Ludlow and Brewster.—The following witnesses were called lor the defence : John W. Hays sworn—l found John Maguire s knife in Esler’s planing mill on Tuesday; Dena ture had been working in the mill fifteen months: IloDahue asked me for the knife to fix his book ease that evening, and I was glad to lend it to him for he had frequently borrowed my knife. The witness told Donahue he might keep the knife, as Maguire, to whom it belonged, had left tb<- place. K B. Esler sworn—l live at 1020 Green street, and am a manufacturer of wood mouldings; have known the prisoner nine years; he is a finishing moulder; on the morning of the 13th X authorized tbe payment ol eight dollars to Donatme to pro cure a writ; Dempsey did not threaten Donahue in my presence; did not Bee Donahue get the wiit, but saw him go for it. Gen. Wm. F. Small sworn—l am a member of the liar; saw Donahue on the 13th of January last, and issued a writ for him. Objection being made as to the question, What was the object of issuing the writ? Judge Ludi low thought all that General Small said on the occasion to his client must be excluded, and he had grave doubts whether Donahue's statements were admissible. The writ Itself was admissible. Judge Brewster thought the affair somewhat obscure, and was of tbe opinion that it would be competent to show the declarations of the priso ner accompanying the taking out ol the writ. The statements of counsel made at the time were cliaily inadmissible. An offer to show that on the day previous to the muidor the prisoner stood In terror and fear ot Dempsey, was considered, and the Court de cided that whatever occurred at the interview when the prtrclpe was signed, could be stated; that is, only the declaration of defendant. ■Witness resumed—The praclpe was Bigned on the morning of the 13th; Donahue said he had hem greatly annoyed, threatened and abus-d by D, mpeey, and it would be impossible for him and his lamily to live in that bouse unless Dempsey was pnt under restraint; after I had advised him he desired me to Issue the writ; I prepared the pruecipe while he waited; he said Dempsey was a violent man, and he was afraid of him; I did not get the Sheriff's writ until nearly three o’clock, and then there was a blunder, as the seal was not on, and we had to get it; I handed the writ to Mr. Vanhook, and told him it waß highly important that writ should be served ImmedUtelv; he ri plied it was too late for that day, but would serve it on the next; Donahue joined in and 6ald, “I want vou to take good bail,and none but good bail, an p’orhaps that would keep him quiet, and I could live In peace;” I heard no more of the case until I heard of the homicide. Crcss-examined- Donahue mado the affidavit to bold to ball in the case, and tixed the amount oi damages at $6OO. John R. Downing, sworn—l am a doputv sheriff: I received a writ on the 13th of January, oi 20 minutes of 3 o'olock; it is a capias case; I pkeed the writ in the hands of a reliuble officer at 7 o’clock that evening, with instructions to , 5, cute it the next morning; he had a writ of pos session, however, the next day. which required nearly all of the day; on the morning of the loth be went to serve it, but heard of the circum stances; in cbscb of writs against a working man lb, y arc generally served early in the morning btfore he goes to work, bo as to avoid going to his place of business; the officer who had the writ did not suppose he would be detained more than an hour in serving the writ of possession. Hebert Dempsey recalled —When my father w,nt up stairß 1 told him not to do so; I did not state any reason; I did not hear much scuffling; 1 did not take notice where Mrs. Donahue was; 1 guess she was excited when she told rne to go tui the police; my father went up stairs twice, 1 believe: he did not tell me what he was going up stairs for; be did not say he was going to bed. Cross-examined—The first time he only went ' up a few steps. Examination direct—l did not want him to go up for fear he might get in a fight with Dona hut; 1 did not hear him sav anything about being sued. Mary Donahue recalled—Wo lived with the Dempseys nine months; went there shortly after Easter; never knew of any quarrol betweeif my father and Dempsey in that time; we all lived peaceably as one family; did not know anything oitbe trouble on Tuesday night; the landing at the head oi the stairs was kept clean betwoon us, my mother having most charge of it; Mrs. Demp sey only took charge of it when her family mado dirt there. The witness repeated a portion of the evidence sho gave yesterday,and said sho did not hear a struggle when 6he went behind the par tition, as she was too much frightened. On cross-examination the witness said that the book-rack, on which her father had been work ing, stood on a chair in the mlddlo of tho room, and the candlo on another chair. John Maguiro, sworn—l am a carpentor; on the evening before tho murder I saw Dempsoy and Donahue at Fiitconth and Chestnut streots; i first met Donahue between 7 and 8 o’clock; we were standing on the corner, and Dempsey came up and said, “here Is the dirty, cowardly ,' and made as I thought, to strike him; I got be tween them, and Donohue said, John, do yon see that ?" Donahuo left, as I supposed, to go home, and I went home. Cross-examined —I should think Dompßoy was under the influence of liquor; he was not very drunk; I should judge Donahue wob sober; Donar hue seemed to be afraid of Dempsey; he showed his fear by getting away as quick as no coma; he walked away; I concluded ko was afraid because ho wont away so quick: I did not con clude ho wanted to got away from a man who wos abusing him; I got botween them and was not afraid of being Btruck. . . Examination direct | knife shown] -This is my knife. The defence closed. . ’ Mr H. S. Hagert summed up tho case, and was followed by 8. D. Page. Mr. W. L. Hirst, Jr., closed the argument for the prisonor, and Dis trict Attorney Sheppard closed for tho Common wealth. Judge Ludlow charged the jury. Tho bill of indictment was handed to tho jury at 9.35 P. M., and at 10.15 P. M. they returned a verdict of gnilty of manslaughter. Mr. Gross asked that tho jury bo polled, and each responded to tho vordict ns prououncod tbrongh their foreman. The prisoner waß remanded for sentenco. Tiik Heenan Homicide. —The Supremo Court yesterday refused the allocation applied for by Messrs. Shapley and Brooke, counsel for Gerald Eaton, who was convicted of murder ol tho first degree In killing Timothy Hoenan. Ab this is the court of last reßort, and as they find nothing id tbe reasons assigned for interfering with the court below,there is an end to Eaton's case,so far as the courts are concerned. Tho Governor has fixed the 251 h inst; as the day for the oxeoutiou or Eaton, and unless he grantß a respite or reprieve, the dread penalty will bo inflicted by Sheriff Lyle, as commanded by tho Executive.

Stbakge Mkteoeio Aitbabahob.— About 8 o’clock last evening b luminous body ot unusual, form and appearance was visible In the north eastern sky lor maby minutes. As described to „us, it exhibits such a form as would be shown u two small comets were joined together by tno heads or nuclei, with tbo tails oxtending in a straight line In opposite directions, long and narrow,spread out at the ends and compressed in tbo oentre; or it may be more popularly described as appearing somewhat llko two closed ions, joined together ot the handle ends, so as to lie in a straight line. It appeared to bo nearly stationary, and seemed to be suspended perpen dicularly to the plane of the horizon. The llgnt was a bright orange, approaching to a red color, and it grew brighter as long os it remained visi ble, which wus until it was obscurod from viow by the clouds that soon after oversproad the sky. Borne unscientific observers were sure it was a comet, and some others thought it a froak of tbo aurora borealis. After tbe clouds bid it from viow, pulsutionsof Ilght.liko loeble flashes of llgbtniug, were seen for an hour alter. Btbekt Cleaning. —Mayor For hod an Inter view with the street-cleaning contractors yester day. He stated to them that ho had reports from the lieutenants of police of sevoral districts as to the condition of tho streets and the inefficiency and neglect of duty on the part of the contrac tors. The Mayor informed tho contractors that he had ordered his lieutenants to observe tho con dition of the streets and report to him, and it. after reasonable time, bo found that the con trie tors exhibited no disposition to fulfil their bar gain to the letter, he would report the fict to Councils, and annnl the contract. The contractors pleaded tbe inclemency of tho weather, and tho wet condition of the streets, under which circumstances they said it was im possible to remove the dirt. The Mayor, in reply, said that thoy had made a contract to do tbe work, and the city was willing to pay for it as long as it was done to the satisfaction of tbe citizens. Arrest-of Alleged Thieves. —Two young men, nnmed William Wllflon.allas George Harris, and Charles George, hod a hearing before Alder man Kerr, at the Central Police Station, yester day, upon the chargo of the larceny of a piece of cloth, valued at 330, from the store of Mr. Jos. Engard, No. 146 South Fourth street. At an early hour yetßerday morning Wilson and Harris entered tho store and engaged in conversation with a colored lad who was sweeping up. Wilson desired to look at some goods in the rear ol tho store and while tbe attention or the colored boy was attracted in that direction, George slipped tbe cloth under his coat. This was noticed, how ever by the attendant, who followed tho men, and ordered their arrest. The prisoners were committed for trial. A Call —Rev.T.De Witt Talmage,pastor of tho Second Reformed Chnrch, has received a unani mous call to tho First Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, L. 1., with a salary ot ©7,000 per annum, and the privilege of a trip to Europe (expenses paid) during next summer. HEW JEBBEI MAI TEES, The Boiler Question — Tho petition of the steam boiler owners, which was very numerously “igued and presented to the Legislature, asking that body to ripeal the act passed a year ago, compelling the use of the lock-safety valve and low water indicator, was referred to tho proper Committee. In place of repealing the law, a substitute was prepared, which will bo passed, compelling all persons using sicnni boilers to place upon them somo suitable safety valve, to be set at a polntof safety imm danger, which point bhall be fixed by tho Deputy Inspector. It the gange is changed, by wuifulnees or negllglence on the part of tho own ers, or if the boilers are subjected to a greater pressure of steam, the penalty is a fino of five hundred dollars or an imprisonment of one year. The bill provides for an annual inspection of every boiler in the State. It gives much greater satisl action than the former law, and will meet the desired end aimed at by the petitioners. , Tub Mf.teob. —Between eight and nine o’clock last evening there appeared in the onrtheast portion of the heavens, a beautiful illumination, resembling the conjunction of two oblong me teors. The phenomenon created considerable interest and speculation as to its character. As it was stationary, it was evidently a reflection on tbe clouds from the furnace connected with the foundry of Mr. Btarr St dons. Similar Illusions are often seen in that direction, ome of which are decidedly beautiful. Resigned.— Alfred Hugg, Esq , whft has been pi oseculor of the Pleas of Atlantic county for the past four years, tendered his resignation of that position to Governor Randolph, on the 15th Inst.
