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:

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. ,

whether, since the time when the Woods created

ratio company in this country as the troupe now

ber the popularity of the Seguin troupe, and also
of Louisa Pyne, (with a poor company), but the
positive merit of the Cooper opera troupe retinas
theirs--at the very loot. This company will re.

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?

Mr. Pierce, of Chester, road in place "a supple

of mechanics and others upon buildings, approved

building, but will not hold upon any improvements,
additions, machinery, dm, added to an old build

The sporting gentry are In high feather. In May
next, after the usual spring races at the Haddon

are to bo John Roberts of Liverpool, the English
billiard champion, Claudius Berger of Faris, the
French champion, Phelan, the American champion,

great players of this eouatr,y. Berger and Ro
berts are invited here by two responsible gentle
men of this city, who propose to give a grand
tournament, which shall last five or six days, with
the view of grouping the eight or nine of the best
players in the world. The game to he the Ameri
can four-ball carom game, each player to play
against all, and the prises (which will amount to
$5,000) fobs distributed according to order of merit,
and so arranged that each player will be sure to
win something, except the last, On this basis, Ro
berts, of England, and Berger, of Paris, have been
offered, in addition to th.ejr chances at the game,
for a leading sum of money, a free passage here

during a month's residence in this city. To this
proposition answers have been received from Ber
ger and Roberts, both of whom regard the wetter
favorably and promise a final answer after a few
days' reflection. The prospot is that both of those
great players will accept, and if tboy do, an ex•
°Bement will be seen in this city in the month of
May next that has never before been equalled in
the billiard way.

XXVITII CONGRESS.--EIRST SESSION.
U. S. CAPITOL, WasutnotoK, Jan, 26,1861.
SENATE.
Mr. Rten, of Minnesota, introduced a Gill for the
relief of tho mail contractors.
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. Me only
wished the Grand Juries of the United States
courts to indict, and the courts to punish con•
spiratore when convieted. Ile never wished to
put any one at the head of an army to seek out
and punish offenders. Ho only wanted to give the
courts jurisdiction over these eases But If n
military force from one State, in act, should in
cede another, then he would authorize the em•
ploynsent of the Government military form It re.
pel the invasion.
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.
Mr. DAVIS said the committee had not commit
ted itself to any ()pinion gn the subject. The chair
men had merely expressed his doubt, under the
existing laws against treason, that the crimes re•
forted in ocinia be
Mr. DOUGLAS denied the interpretation out on
his seawall. The law against treason did not
meet the eases which he proposed to pettish ,
Mr. DAVIS was glad ho had got a eleer explana

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.

contended that the olalm of Tex•ie to all territo

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 :
