The election wait fairly contested, and the result nuty-bo accepted us a fair espres aim of popular sentiment. If those charged with the erection of the monu ment take it that the vote means " Semi nary Hill" as the site selected, we would most respectfully urge that the design 'adopted be departed from, as at such great elevation the memortol pro posed will, from most points of ob servation, dwarf into mean proportions and appear es a niggardly honor to the memory of the thotsuid braves it Is in tended to commemorate. Our voice is in favor of the planes of the Park instead of thp summit of the hill for the monu ment, unless the design be changed and much more money be subscribed for building purposes• : A POLITICAL musts is predicted M Paris—wzdeh is usually France—for to-I morrow. The Legislative session, which should then be regularly convened, has been postponed by an Imperial decree,— an exhibition of personal autocracy to which the Liberal party him taken strong exception, and Invites, for the 26th, such a popular demonstration as shall attest Nina National dissatisfaction. Of course. the Government will be found prepared to check any appearances of turbulence, but the European world stands on tip-toe, I to infer the relative strength of parties from the hum of the expected struggle. We have no doubt that the events of this day will go far, to establish either the supremacy of the Ina. perbd power, in the command of the sit uation, or the inevitable future of Repub lican predominance throughout the em• pine. There will be no serious contest anima the Liberal leaders- have first sat isfied themselves that the iron grasp of Imperialism has at last become palsied under its velvet glove. In that sense, a formidable meets, in Paris to-morrow, may be regarded as ae indication that complete freedom of political opinion recognizes this as its long-desired oppor trinity. A SENATORIAL CONTEST The contested Senatorial election case, in the Somerset, Fallon and Bedford dis trict, turns entirely upon the question whether the election law of the Common wealth shall be faithfully obeyed. The law, as it stands, would give the seat to Mr. Scull by 17 majority, while the actual majority of votes cast in the district, but a part of which were not legally re turned, stands 23 in favor of Mr. Find ley. The result will be established, one way or the other, by the Sexists on con test, as the vote of Allegheny township, (Somerset), shall or Dudl not be emoted. The return from tkis township was not made on Friday, the third day after the election as the law requires, at the Somerset Court Rouse. The Somer set Judges completed their work without it, and appointed a Return Judge, as the law require!, to meet the two Judges Iron Bedford and Fulton on the seventh day, the ensuing Tuesday. The Somer set board then adlottrited sine die. But, about rrldniNrof the same day, the re turn from the missing township was brought into Somerset, and the "meet ing" was held by the Democratic members of the county board, the vote counted, and a second Return Judge, a Democrat, commissioned for the District Confer , ence. On Tuesday, the 19th, this Dia. %riot meeting was duly held, when the two Democratic members from Bedford and Fulton voted In the second, and Me -1 gal, Judge from- Somerset, and counted in the Democratic Senator, by virtue of these doctored returns. The terms of the election law, in every section applicable to this case, are imPer save and inflexible. The missing re turns could not lie legally counted, be. cause not legally presented in time. It is not a question as to the discretion of the Somerset board In adjourning due die, when an adjournment to the follow ing day would have insured the reception of a return which the law absolutely requires to be produced on the third day, not before or alter. Not is it a question as to the power of the board to adjourn des die, without an obligation to wait until midnight for a return, which even then might not come in. The regular Somerset board kept, throughout, within the letter of the law, and indeed complied also with its spirit. There Is no doubt that Findlay toes I elected by the people, and as little that be would lose his seat by a rigid interpreta tion of the provisions governing the case. It will be for the Senate to determine whether its decision shall be made up by the actual state of the poll, disregarding the law, or by the terms and spirit of the law, disregarding the actual majority of votes for Mr. Findlay, and counting only those which were duly reTfirned and counted regularly by the only legal county board, We obeli not anticipate Its j udg. meat, contenting ourselves to quote the remarks of the Bedford Havirer, that the case. : "Has a precedent aomewbat dinner to the care oilman' and Coffroth the Congreemonal contest of 1864 „ and am it Ems that famous Democratic precedent. the Democracy cannot conahrtently ob -1 cot to a d ore of Weir own medicine." -• -cm.- PEE PARC/0111111G POW ER In each government, po matter boar I be organized, It Is essential to have the authority of conferring pardons upon offenders lodged somewhere. Forgiveness is as indispensable to government as the e,ththltion of justice. How to blend the two attributes so as to make them con tribute. equally and In harmony to the prosperity of the nation, Is the problem always presented for practical solution. • Boma Persons Insist that pardon shall be grantelonly In eases where funs are adduced after conviction, concealed be fore, end which show lf as the condemned was Dot guilty as charged, all. Pardon, under such circumstance% la not mercy, but justice. No use of power can be worse than that which Mutts the innocent as If they were guilty, All experience testifies , that the penitent should cc:. Airily be. mardoned. Difficulty ever &tits in discriminating real from simulated penitence, but It has come to be regarded u as axiom that it is better that ten offenders shall escape this. tiserturit than that one guiltless individual shall wrongfully suffer. It may not be as safe to apply the spirit of this maxim to the subject of pardon'. and to say that lt is wiser to let ten hardened criminals free than to inflict the riga' of the laws upon a reformed person ; but humane feelings Ma pretty strongly In that dime. WM. jtISA best a delicate task to lay upon ♦ abie/3413PC4074f1 to say what con victs shall be pardoned and what pun. lobed according to sentence.

Tabs trUsaclionii pfronder boo maw Ur this minty, and tire error ‘".L• was urged against him with great pendia.- ency and effect • In view, therefore, of all the facts, we venture to suggest that, wnenever the Constitution shall be revised, It will be well to provide that the pardoning pow • er shall be exercised by We Governor by and with the advice and consent of a Council of State. This body boa been variously constituted. In some places It is a separate body, acting only as adviso ry of the Executive; in others, We Sen ate, in addition to the ordinary functions, 1 1 takes on this also; and In still others, the the heads of the Executive departments, 1 1 as the Attorney General, the Secretary of State, the Auditor General, and State I Treasurer, are made a body for this epe 1, clad duty. This latter plan would probe ! bly give a larger satisfaction In Pennsyl. vaults than either of We others. I This body, however organized, should be required to give public notice of each application for pardon, and *hen the ev • idence on both sides would be taken up, 50 that a full bearing should be rendered certain, and then the result Should be de termined by ballot, the Governor, in all cases, to carry out the decision arrived at. It would work no harm, and might produce good regain', upon publication of notice that a pardon had been applied for, to give the names of all the applicants, and, in brief, the regions assigned fur in. yoking the clemency of the government. Under this condition all citizens, and es pecially magistrates, would be sere to scrutinise each particular case before join. Mg in efforts to. procure the release of prisoners. Perhaps It should be remarked that the evil under consideration is not so con spicuous in rural districts as In those which contain populous cities. Sat the evil is of serious magnitude all over the Commonwealth; so aerbalut as to demand a remedy. It may be a better one can be devikti than that herein proposed. It so. let it be brought forward. TIMIS are to be none of the reigning sovereigns of Europe at the great Coun cil in Rome, except the Pope. but there will be a strong representation of what an exchange call. the "ghostly hinge," that is of these unhappy monarchs who, for various reasons have quitted their thrones, and are now wandering crown• less and landless throughout the world.

It is not many years since there were but two great classes In moat of our oolleges—the shalom and the fast bets, and neither the unre mitting application to books nor the wild license of a new-found freedom, un checked by the desire to lame, were cal culated for a physical preparation of young men for their afterlife.
