Evening Session . —This session was devoted to

bill in Committee of the Whole.
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

Mr H. S. Hagert summed up tho case, and was
followed by 8. D. Page. Mr. W. L. Hirst, Jr.,

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,

in tho First, Second, Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh,
Eighth and Seventeenth districts yesterday after
noon fof the purpose of ascertaining their con
dition, and what improvements, It any, arc
needed for the better accommodation of the men.
EveiTstation-house visited was thoroughly ln
snccted. At each the men were drawn up in line
and wero briefly addressed by the Mayor.
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

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.
The office never paid him, some terms causing a
di ad loss to him of from ten to twelve dollars.
Mr. Hugg is a lawyer of ability, and unwilling to
work for nothing. It is thought that Mr. Sharp,
of Egg Harbor, will be appointed in his place.
Cafitax. Increased —The Wcccacoe Fire Com
pany of CamdeD, have obtained from the Legis
lature a supplement to their charter, authorizing
an increase of their capital to twenty thousand
dollars. Their incorporate name has also been
changed to that of the Weecacoe Fire Company

Cauliflower should be carefully picked; it is In
dispensable to separate the tufts, in the interstices
of which are often hidden worms and caterpillars.
Cauliflower is generally served with white sauce,
qratinated. Fried, if Burrounded with a delicate
fritter-paste, and done to the true color, ills
likewise very grutelul; but observe the manner in
which the Grand Monarch Louis XIV. used to eat
