FotraTa Paos.—What shalt be Mono with the Frea.Blaoka ; Marine Intelligence, dm. Reform of the Penal Code. The Report of the Commissioners to'reirise the Penal Code has been presented to the IJegislature, and will soon come up for discus sion there, preparatory to its adoption as part of the law of the land. In the mean time, it has been submitted to almost all the judges, and it Is brought home alike to lawyers and laymen, by the vast importance of the. subject, by the necessity of a thorough and entire comprehension even of its minutest details, and' by the novelty and striking character of the, proposed changes. The general scheme of the Commissioners has taken the form of two acts, one relating to the ,penal laws, the other to 'criminal procedure and pleading The , former is divided' into tee titles, sub ' divided into one hundred and eighty-seven sections, 'and its main beads are offences against the State, public justice, public peaCe; .public morals and decency, pub -110:,policy, economy, and health, against the" persons of individuals, personal pro perty, real propeity, and' forgery. The secOnd'act is made up of Bi:riffles, and eighty . two 'sections, and goes over the whole ground of process and pleading with such energy end freedom that the changes are vastly more striking and important than the - more numer ous alterations suggested In the first act; for while these are rather intended to strengthen and supply the common law, by lopping oil excrescences,reconelling incongruities,and in troducing the improvements that appertain to an advanced state of arts and manufactures, the main scheme of this second act is entirely to ,chango the system under which we now carry out our penal laws, and it is therefore a . subject hardly fitted for a general and popular discussion. tut a summary of the labors of the Com missioners will serve to give some evidence of the important nature of the work entrusted to them, of the ability with which they have executed their task, and of the great obliga tion incurred by all of us at their hands. One hundred and forty-one laws, registered in our statute-books between 1700 and 1869, thus co vering the whole period of our existence as a law-making community, are supplied and con solidated in the new act, and their repeal will, of course, systematize and complete the task of the Commissioners. Of the whole number of two hundred and sixty-nine sections in eladed in the two acts, seventy-eight are, by the Introduction, pointed out as ei ther entirely or partly new. Now, small as' is the information this gives us as to the merit of the whole work, it is still a merit, when we remember that the famous French code was for over twenty'years in' hand, while the British criminal code has been for twenty-five years under way, and is still merely a fragmentary mass, counting many blue-books, end but a few statutes, here, at the end of a little over eighteen months, the three Commissioners named under the act of April 19th, 1858, report, in a pamphlet of one laindred and twenty-nine pages, the „result of their labors. Whatever changes may be made, in the course of the legislative discussion pre ceding the enactment of the new laws, what ever action may subsequently be had, either In modifying or. enlarging these labors, either at the suggestion of the Commissioners them- selves, or such as the experience of judges, Liquors, or laymen may advocate, the bench and the bar, the people and the executive, may well be proud of such a commission and such results. One of the most striking changes is the entire abolition of all minimum punishments, and the reason given for it is very simple:Md. con elusive: "The duty of a criminal judge is not simply to punish an offender within the limits prescribed by law, but it is equally his duty to graduate the punishment according to the criminal capacity, general intelligence, past conduct and character of the culprit, and the aggravating or extenuating circumstances of each particular case. AU positive and arbi trary -minimum punishments necessarily inter fere with the free and full exorcise of this judicial duty,, and should find no place in a 'truly philosophical code of crimes and punish meets. Besides, minimum punishments de but restrain judicial mercy, whilst with in the maximum limit fixed by law jadiVal severity is left without control. All the members of this commission have been, more or less, extensively engaged in the ad ministration of criminal justice. The princi ple advocated is not, therefore, with them an abstract and untried theory, but the conviction of long experience and observation in actual criminal administration." Another chnago is the abolition of all distinction between grand and petit larceny, so that we shall never, henceforth, be troubled with " estimating the magnitude of the crime - by the value of the property obtained by it f" Two sections, the eighty-eighth and eighty-ninth, provide effec tually for the punishment of the horrid crime of abortion. and it is to be regretted that the shield of protection thus thrown over erring women bad not been further extended, so as absolutely to prevent fortune-telling, that miserable cloak of more sinful trades. In the 96th section there are some obfec.. tlonable clauses, That can easily be stricken out by the Legislature, in the exercise of a power which was not entrusted to the Commis sioners; for we are sure that they never could willingly aid in retaining on our statute-books any law which conflicts with the Constitution, or renders our good old State liable to the sharge of disloyalty. The refined distinctions between larceny, as defined by the common law, in the case of servants and carriers, and that common sense which fixes the crime as actual larceny, in spite of technical and artifi cial casuistry, are all swept away, to the credit of our criminal Justice, and to the final security of owners of property, and merchants and deal ers of all kinds. It seems strange that only in 1886 the Legislature should be called on to pro- vide a law against w forgeries, by means of pbo tographic plates of any kind.," and yet such a clause is for the first time introduced and pro posed to be enacted by the 168th section. rem of the inconsistent and anomalons pieces of hasty legislation, thrust into our statute•books, have been quietly corrected, so that judges Will no longer be compelled to punish attempted, more severely than MlCCess- Oil efforts to accomplish some one of the long list of crimes. In short, the whole of thq act consolidating, revising, and amending the penal laws, Is worthy the most careful and attentive study of our thinking readers, awl we hope that as they read, they will offer either through our columns, or directly to their Representatives at Harrisburg, the fullest and freest diacussion of every one of its pro visions, old and new. As the act relating to process and pleading is much more technical, and more suggestive in its frequent changes, we propose to call attention to it at some later day: Mayißr,'s Message.

The Girard College Playground It is with regret that we feel compelled to cell public attention in the way of censure to any of the public charities of Philadelphia, and especially to one so generally well Man aged, and so highly moth], as the Girard CoL loge. A decent regard for the welfare of the little ones under the care of that institution, whose misfortunes have made them the chil dren of the public, and especially the wards of the public's newspapers, requires that we should speak out about a matter that we only wonder that the Board of Directors can have overlooked or neglected. There is a rule at the College which requires every pupil, not so sick as to be confined to the nursery or hos pital room, to take a certain amount of out door exorcise, daily, in the playground. This regulation, under proper circumstances ono of the wisest that could be devised, is at present most cruel and barbarous, owing to the condi tion of' the playground. The sheds, appa rently erected for protection from rain and storm, are entirely too small, and inadequate for any such purpose. The water from the water-shod, on which the College is built, flows down upon the low land of the play ground, which, under the effects of the late thaw, has been deep enough in water and mud to reach above the ankles of the little fellows whom the regulations turn out into it to play. The natural consequences of this state of things are to be found upon the list of fevered patients under medical treatment, during the winter—half of the year. Warned bowels and lungs follow the exposure of weak and delicate children to such influences as these, as certainly as night follows day, and the tran sition from the playground to the cemetery often becomes fearfully sudden. Some years ago we heard a good deal of the beneficial results upon children of the "hard ening process," whose advocates Anted to the robust children of the poor, ex posed, hare-footed and in rags, to the frozen ground and the winter's blast, and claimed that the exposure caused the health and strength. The investigation of those who looked beneath the surface soon showed that the hardening process was a killing process, under which all the delicate and, weaker chil dren of the poor were carried to early graves, leaving upon the streets the more fortunate subjects, whose constitutional strength ena bled them to resist all ordinary causes of dis ease and death. The gentlemen in charge of the Girard Col lege have foo much sense to be the apostles of such a false system as that which expects the constitution to ho strengthened by the means which ordinarily destroy It, and yet the practice at that institution seems directly in accordance therewith. We trust that efficient Measures will at once be taken to put a stop to this crying evil. Let the playground be so provided with drainage that it can never again, by any possibility, become such a swamp as it has been for the past week; and above all, let there be a large covered place where the pupils of the College may take their out-of-door exercise, protected from the elements. The directors should go, from time to time, to the nursery room, and inquire into the practical effects upon the health of the pupils of the laws they make, and frequently go by day to the College to see that the miles which the children are required to live by are such, and inch only, as they would like to make for the government and welfare of their own children. The City has put them in the place of parents to its orphan children—let them discharge their duties in a faithful and truly paternal manner. , Public Amusements.

The lecture, which is quite new, is lively and sarcastic, historical and anecdotal, philoso phical and personal. Believing that Lola Mentes is by far the best female elocutionist on the lec ture-stand, in this country, we know that the en tertainment this evening will be worth attending and attending to. Tee /AMMON BUMREBB.—ThIe evening, Mrs. D. P. Bowers will give an illustrated lecture On "Song and Passion," with musical interludes, {itt Concert Hall, for the benefit of the sufferers by the recent calamity at Lawrence, to which meet worthy object the entire proceeds will be devoted. The proprietor of the hall expressed his willing. noes to afford its gratuitous use, and Mrs. Bowers at once expressed her earnest desire to avail her self of the opportunity of exercising her ta. lents in the cause of a charity so great and needed—that to enlarge on Its claim' to public attention would be a superfluous waste of time. The Illustrated lecture to be given by Mrs. Bowers is entirely now, and is, we understand, deeply Interesting and peculiar in its illustrative character; and from Mrs. Bowers' well-known ability as an elocutionist, a rich mental treat is anticipated. This entertainment will be given under the patronage of the civic authorities and numbers of the most eminent of our citizens, who have 'taken a great interest in the moan of the undertaking. By a, telegraphic despatch from the Mayor of Lawrence, it will be seen that he ex presses a with that the proceeds should be devoted to the Widows' and Orphan's Fund. Who will refuse to subscribe their mite towards Mh an object, whilst, at the same time, partioipating in an intellectual feast? Letter from Washington. Correspondence of The Presej IVAsnixaroap January 29,1800 For near an hour and a half after tho House met, the time was taken up in roll-calls to kill time.

He con demned the doings in which the House wee engaged. To him it was a farce, and he would not vote, During the call of the roll, Mr. Hamilton, of Texas, a tall, placid, not remarkable, but evident ly good-tempered•looking gentlemen, addressed the House briefly but pertinently. • The result of Me observations was that dissolution was upon us. Ho did not well see how it could bo averted. He represented a Conetltution-loving constltneney, a peaceable oonetituenoy, but they would be mote willing to stop forever the wheels of Government just where they are now stuck than go on and sub mit to the election of the present candidate of the Republicans to the Speaker's chair. This was a set-off against the declaration of 'Thaddeus Stevens yesterday, and induced some applause from the Administration and ultra benches. Tho ballot re sulted in 109 for Sherman, 58 for Booock, and the rest pattering. The whole number east was 225, making Sherman short live. Hickman and Mor ris did not voto,.whlch would leave Sherman, as of old, still looking three. There was a sharp passage between Judge Don• glee and Jefferson Davis today. Davis found fault with the construction given by Senator Douglas to the letter of the President to Governor Wiae, Douglas denied having made any oritieltan what ever on that letter, and only intended to till up an omission made by Mr. Buchanan with regard to the Owen of the Oonstitution. • BM RICIIMIDS.

Mr. BENJAMIN, of Louisiana, introduced a bill authorizing a Missionary Booloty to the Episcopal Church to enter a certain tract of land in IVisoon sin. Roferred. Mr. Botany, of Indiana, introduced n resolution to increase the Committee on Clan:lotto seven mem bers. Adopted. The Vico President was authorized to appoint the two additional members. Mr. liturran, of Virginia, requested that Mr. Douglas' resolution on invasions, ,tobe called up and made the Sllat order for Tuesday next, at half past one o'clock, as he wished to speak on it. Mr. DAVIS, of Mississippi, objected, on the ground that a committee had been appointed to investigate the circumstances attending the liar per's Terry raid, and to euggest the leglilation whin may be found necessary on the subject. Ile referred to the remark made by Senator Douglas in bin late speech, that President Du nanan's letter in reply to Governor Wise was re garded by the South as an official announcement that the Constitution and laws of the United States conferred no power on the President to pro. toot one State from invasion by another, For him self, he would say that he haa formed no such im pression. Ile thought It put the President in a false Atli. and desired that the Secretary should read the correspondence. The request was complied with. Mr. DAVIS remarked that it was evident from the letter of thoPrerident that be did not deny the Pewer of the Federal Government tepees necessary aws to protect the States from invasion. Monty said that no power had been conferred on him to do 'what the Governor of Virginia naked. The power belonged to Congress, and not to the Reece. tiro. The President had no power to call out the militia, and the policy of the founders of the Go• vernment was to restrict the executive power. Never would he be willing to grant the President power to call out the militia, or invade a State. The President's letter did not deny the power of Congress to nose all laws necessary to carry out the provisions of the Constitution. Ile never would oonsont, from motives of temporary expediency to invent the Executive with a great centralizing power. Mr. DOUGLAS, of Illinois, said the Senator from Mississippi certainly could not have read his speech. Ifs made no criticism on the President's letter, and made no issue with him. His impres• Rion, on reeding the President's letter, was, that ho thought' the Constitution conferred no power on the Federal Government to interfere, though he might have meant that the Constitution and the laws gave him (the President) no power. Still he designed to make no issue with the Prost. dent. His only object was to snare the enactment of efficient lows to the extent of the constitutional power of Congress. lie hod carefully avoided putting any construction on his letter. Tfe had no desire to assail the President or snake any issue with him. The Senator from Mississippi had Intl , mated that he wanted such legislation as would prevent the invasion of States, and then went on to show that the President did not differ with him. Mr. DAVIS asked the Senator if he wished the President to be clothed, with authority to enter the States end to suppress oonspireey? Mr. DOUGLAS replied in the negative.

Mr. DOOLITTLE, of Wisconsin, asked the Senator if he wished to include the conspiracies which might be formed to attack or overturn the Govern ment of the United Steles? Mr. DOUGIAB replied—Certainly. Mc would punish such conspiracies to the extent of the con etitutional power of the Government. He ex• plaided that he had addressed his resolution of in. struotion to the Judiciery Committee, because he understood that the chairman of the Harper's Ferry Investigating C6mmittee bad doubted the power of Congress to pass the law which be had proposed.

Ile had been attacked by gentlemen because he attended nn Abolition festive{ at Boston and made a speech. Ile was ready now to taunt; lc that speech. Ho told Garrison and others that he dlongreed with them in regard to their views of the Constitution, State rights, and the Union. Never In hts life had be breathed hostility to the Union, He did e 4 tetra Garrison for his devotion to what he be. Hared to he itla duty. Ile had paid the same tribute of respect to the Segetor from Mississippi, with whom he differed its mush as with parriton,' for fidelity to principles he believed to be chrYeet. He had been also arraigned for attacking the Sieve : l.4o party of England, which held power for many yairg. j e lid pay tribute to the Reform party of England, which had liberated eight hun dred thousand slaves in the %Vett Indies. and who were carrying out reforms at home amid a bait. storm of abuse just such as the Republicans were sulajeotpil to here.

The present Congress was made up mainly on the other Ode of the disciples of Calhoun. Idr. }Pigeon then proceeded to enumerate the aggresstdookf Vic slaye•power.

Mr. WagON arke g ) if the Bonnier did not write a letter in favor of the r 054.1 of the fugitive•slave Law. Mr. FITCH said he could not alvart bin attention from present Issues, by making a personal one When young, and acting under early prejudice,, be had entertained views, which experience atil observation had changed. Mr. Wii.sms thought the Senator might then have more charity for those who had nut changed their first impressions. Mr, FITCII had no charity for those who, with long experience. were daily connected with violas. lions of the Constitution. Mr. WILSON naked for tho specification of this charge, and after seine farther desultory debate, contonded that Mr. Fitch had not boon 81)TO to stt lain the allegation. Mr• /Livia said that beeause he woe born free ho would not submit to the rule of any party seeking to overturn the Constitution and the laws. Ile re• viewed at length Mr. Wilton's position, and . de fended the South from the charge of aggression. In the course of the debate, Mr. VABSENUEN, of Maine, intittired If the se. nator from MlS9leslppt would consider the election of a President, by the peoplo, on a Republican platform, a sufficient Ql6llBO for tho dissolution of the 'Union ? hle. Dem replied that he had not read the plat. form of that party, and could not tell. But if, for instance, the honorable Bonafor who now presided over tho Renate OSIr. Foot, of Vermont,) should be elected, he would not oorolder it a 011100, for ho regarded him am a mound conservativo man who would not swear to uphold tho Constitution and then violate his oath. Mr. Wtorer.r., of Texas, defended tho State of Texas from the charge of having received ten mil. lions of dollars for territory to which it had no ti. tie. Re reviewed the history of the matter, arid contended that the olalm of Tex•ie to all territo ries east and north of the Rio Grande was clear and Indisputable. The Senate then adjourned till Monday. ROUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES On motion of Mr. ETIMIDGIe, of Tennessee, there was a call of the Home with the view of af fording the absentees time to arrive, preliminary to a vote being taken for Speaker. The proceeding's connected with this subject 00. (muted nearly an hour. Mr. IVlstemsw ' of North Carolina, In order fur ther to procure the attendance of the absentees, moved an adjournment. This motion was negatived—yeas 32, nays 190. Mr. WIOOLOW moved that the House proceed to a vote for Speaker vs ma vol.& Mr psalmists, of Pennsylvania, said he mums Into the hall this morning to resist a vote to-day; but having learned that there was a general under standing yesterday that the House would vote without interruption for two weeks, unless a Speaker was sooner elected, ho was not disposed to break through the arrangement, though he would not concede that he wee bound by it. Re would withhold his vote uhtil be fmind that there woe come reason to change his determination. Me would not engage in this ridiculous farce, and worse than fame. When hie vote could be of any service it should be had. Mr. Cotta; of North Carolina. said the gentle. man was mistaken. Ho (Mr. Cratge) had entered into no such arrangement. The house then proceeded to a vote. When the name of Mr. Hamilton, of Texas, was reached, that gentletnan referred to the fact that some friends had, without consultation with him, put his name in nomination for Speaker. It was dote, doubtless, with the hope that the Conserve. live element would rally around film to defeat their common political enemy. lie came here with no expeotation or desire to preside over this del iberativ o body, nor did he conceive himself com petent for so responsible a duty. Being satisfied that the use of his name could do no good, be begged leave to withdraw it. thanking his friends for their favorable regard. Ile wished to say ono thing: ho did not deal in harsh language. Much had been said about secession. He would not now give his views en the merits of that question, but would content himself with the remark, that, whatever sentiments may exist on the other side as to maintaining the Union at nil hazards, he believed disunion wee this day upon us. It might be in the power of theconservative elements to avert it, but it could not be done by the election of a Black Republican Speaker. The people of Texas were as devoted to the Union as any other citizens They had manifested their devotion to it by as much liberality as any other State, and by yielding up their separate nationality ; and yet these same people and State are now resolved that it were better the wheels of the Government should be arrested today, and no organization of the Rouse be effected, rather than that Mr. Sherman should be placed in the Speaker's chair. The Le. gislature of Texas bad appropriated twenty thou sand dollars to pay the expenses, if necessary, of the Representatives of that State, in view of a still farther struggle on this subject. ' After the roll-call was completed, the following result was announced : rniarr•rirrit BALLOT FOR BPSAKBR.

Mr. WtsisLow moved that the Rouse again pro. coed to a vote, and demanded the previous ques tion. 'Mr Mariana(); of Pennsylvania, desired to make a personal explanation ; but if Mr. Ether idge's proposition of yesterday was received al binding, he was disposed to acquiesce, and post pone his remarks Olt another time.

The mo tion was wade for that purpose uithoqt a 9toglo ob jection being interposed. The objection df Sir. tlitlnftn, therefore, came too late. Ur.
