1t has bee usual to elorify the accession Of new
soyereigBs BY opening the prison doors aud setting
the prisoners free; though in modern times these
demonstrations Of clemency have been chiefly con
fined to political offenders. Under our republican
system this process reversed. IL is toe departure
or approaching departure of our Governors from
flee that is often ssualzed by sort of general
ail-devery.
though it is impossible they should be influenced
~ motives in the remote.t degree analogous, still
be conduct of some of our Governors does bear Il
trbDg external rese nblance to that Of the unjust
toward in the parable. No sooner do they receive
notice that their office is to terminate than they be-
IN to reckon with the State prise ners in a very
xhao rdinary manner, greatly curtaing or entirely
striking ont the terms for which they have been
sentenced.
The pardODiDg power is a useful aud essential
one, but perhaps it might be we'll both a
curty against the abuse of it and for the satisfac
ton of the public to require formal and particu.
lar public statement Of the motives on which each
exercise of it is based.

The revision of the Tdrh is among the most im-
portant and urgent duties devOlving on the present
Congress. All are agreed as to its necessity,
though not as to the character Of the changes de-
handed. That the Tariff of 1851 is to produce
mailer revenue than thit Of 1916 is the only point
ON which all parties arr united. Yet whoever iu-
tel6gently aud closely scans the rival prcec;s pre-
scented by Messrs. l.. ID. Campbell ald Le.cher,
from the majority ard minority respectively of the
House Committee Of Ways and Means, will per.
ceve that, under tie garb of diversity, there is
substantial sgreement-tnat no party is Inclined TO
presS extreme yiews-that while Mr.. Campbell, an
avowed Pro:ectionst proposes to reduce duties
and even to remove them from some articles hth-
ertO requiring Protection, Mr.. Letcher does not
urge a hOriz onial or purely Revenue Tariff Each
Of them cmbodies Improvements on the existing
law; and, though we decidedly prefer Mr.. Camp
bells, and believe this might be improved by max
ing i, less like Mr.. LetcAcrs, We are not that
even the latter il not preferable ~ that no. ex-
sting
Mr. Campbels has the manifest advantage over
Nj. Letcber's of greater simplicity and economy in
the collection of the TeyeECe. In adding very
largely to the list Of articles Omitted free of duty
Mr. C.. lightens the labors OF the Custom House
and greatly diminis hes the cost Of keeping IFS
accounts. OF the two hundred and obi articles
transferred by Mr.. c. from various duty paying
schedules 10 the ree.lst a. least One-ha'f cost the
Treasury quite all the revenue they yield. OF the
Six Millions Of Dollars or whereabouts annually paid
into the treasury fer duties on the articles thus
orcpos ed 70 be made free, Wool, Tin, Sat, Hd4s,
Raw SILK, Lead, Hemp, ludil- Rubber, Furs, Guns
FsIseed, Indigo, Cfeim OF Tartar, aud Copper
yield over -Four Millions. An incalculable diDlnl-
toa oi the cost If uring, weighing, supra s'Og
asctrtsinng cost, &C.. would be effected By his
weeping sdditon to the Free List.
We will note the influence % these two Tariffs
respectively On The most important articles now
subjec. to duty, viz;
LOp.-Mr. Campbelts bill leaves Iroa subjs;i to
50 per cent. duty. Mr.. Letchel's reduces this to
~ per cent.
H0ol.-The duty on all raw Wool imported is
now 80 per cent. out this SAGE Wool, when manu-
fae,ured utO Fl1unels, Bazes, &c, is admitted at
- per ctr' and II made into Blankets at 20 per
cent N. Letcher proposes reduction OF the
duty ca Jaw Wool TO : pes cent, whle Mr..
Csmpb,n would admit all Wool costing unier
- or over 30 cents per pound fee, AID leave

p:oSes this the best policy for all clssses-ths. the
free importation of foreign Wool, BY stimulating,
extending and insuring prosperity to the Wooden
Manufacture, not only enlarges and sseadies the
mari ct for homegrown Wool, but enhsnces It's
price. We are Dclnei TO test this assumption
practically; and should il prove false, we can back
out. During the last three fiscal year,, we have
imported nearly Ninety Millions of Dollars worth
Custom House valuatiOn) Of Wooden Fabrics, and
only Six and Half Millions worth Of Wool. Our
importation of Wool has steadily diminished,
While that Of WOolens firmly holds its Own. Let
Us try, then, the experiment Ofadmitting raw Wool
free, and see if We cannot diminish our imports
tons Of WOolens. In the hope that Free Wool,
by reviviDg our now silent Wooden Mills would in
cite larger aud quicker home demand for Woo
We hope this Congress Will make Wool completely
free.
Sugdr-Mr. Campbell proposes that the Sugar
duty shall remain 30 per cent. Mr.. Letcher would
reduce it to "a per cent. We hope i. may be left
undsturbed. Earnestly believing that the way to
cheap sugar lies through its extensive production
at home, we believe the interest of all classes and
sections requires continuance of the present duty
Sau-Tbe present duty on Salt is 20 per cent
Both Mr.. Letcher ard Mr. Campbell would remove
this altogether.
SRk.-Tbe duty on raw Six is now Is per cent.
Mr.. Letcber would reduce this to per cent Mr..
Campbell would abolish il entirely.
WiHou We regret TO see that Mr.. Campbell
proposes to include Osier or Willow in his free
list. This is purely agricultural product, which
can nowhere be produced moro ohvoPIy then in
this country, and in almost every part Of it. We
have hitherto mainly imported II, from sheer want
of consideration and Of know edge on the part Of
our farmers We are at last beginning to grow i;
our consumption is rapidly increasing; the duty is
but twenty per cent and il Congress will just let it
alone, We a'e confident that We shall very soon not
only grow all we need, but both produce and (by
Yankee machinery manufacture il cheaper than
sny other country. VIII not Congress be so good
ss to let Willow alone
On the whole, we hail the appearance of these
two rival Tariff bills as giving promise of substau-
tal accord in the future on the subject thus treated
1t is too much to hope that this Congress will give
us Specific instead Of Ad VaOrem Duties yet, if
the present duties were Specific, feel sure that
it would not change them TO AID Nalorem. We
trust that this Congress will not adjourn with
out acting dtcsively on the subject, and we exbort
those who agree with US in believing the diffusion
and prosperity of Home Manuf ctures essential to
National weI!-beng, to meet every overture which
looks to practical accord on an honorable middle
ground with fraDkness snd liberaty.

tanned in letter 10 Lord Pslmerssou, IN witch be
complains of these structures Of Admiral Berkeley,
snd especially of Sir Robert Peel, iucosng letter
from the Grand Duke Constantine confirming what
Sir Charles had quoted as to the strength OF Cron.
stadt, and denying that be had ever had any con-
yersstion with Sir Robert Peel on the subject. In
a subsequent letter he suggests whether Sir Robert
Peel should be allowed to remain one Of the masters
Of an old officer whose reputation be had attempted
to ruiz. He also quotes words Of the Premier TO
the effect that be was satisfied that be Sir Charles)
used sound judgment IN Lot attacking the bitte-
ries of Cronstsdt, and that he had thus best per-
formed his important and responsible duty. His
argument IT, tbs. if be had attacked Cronstadt his
feet would have been so crippled that it could not
have been match for the Russian feet afterward-
of which be believed he could have given good
account if il would only have come out and had a
fair fight.
All this however, seems but lenten consolation
to the English people, disappointed OF their eH'
pec.ed victories if We may judge from the leaders
of The Times and from the squibs aud the carici-
lures Of Punch The first denies that Sir Charles
has ct the point; that Sir Robert Peel never said
that The Grand Duke Constantine had ever said
anything to him On the subject but that still be
might have sufficient evidence Of the opinion Of
Russian naval off .ers to warrant bis assertion.
Besides, it goes on to argue, if Cronstadt were so
improbable, why did Sir Charles accept the COM
mand Of the feet intended to reduce it lss

Sir Charles is depicted sitting at the base Of Lord
Nelson's statue, locking at an imaginary one of him
self, and saying: /" 1t is where it should be-for I

II the obtaining money by fraudulent means to
be u,,d for ridiculous purposes ought 10 be tskeo
a. an evidence Of insanity. II IS remarkaoe that
this defense was not resor,ed TO by the sstute conn
sci of Tucsermap. charged with telonious appro-
pIiatoa TO his own of the money oil the Eastesa
Railroad, and whom Boston jury has found guiIty
of the charge Ofupwsrd Of a hundred and seventy
thousand dollars embezzled by Tuckermao' by lar
the larger part would seem 10 have been employed
in speculations of most reckless character. Fifty
thousand dollars of il went fl interest in 40 I'M
tried patent for tanning leather, and twenty me
thousand dollars were advanced BY way CT loan GU
another un,ried boot and shoe patent, neuher OF
which so far as vet appears, Is or ever was worth
sDg'e dollar.
The mi.appropration Of their funds to these two
purposes, however it may be matter oil wonder {"
the public, is matter of in crest chiefly to the un
fortunate stockholders in the road; but another
of Tuckerman's speculatODs in which il is said that
not less than $4,000 was sunk, was the attempt
10 obtain from Congress Pecuniary recomPense to
Dr. Morton for bis discovery of the use OF ether as
an agent for producing insensibiity to pain Tuck
erman was very anxious that as little as possible
should be said about this matter. He even sug-
cested to the Directors of the Company to keep en-
tire silence on The subject, lest the probability OF
.ucce ssful termination of the affair should bs
prejudced by publicity. Toe Directors seam. as
far as possible, to have acted on this policy. New.
ertheess, it Did leak out that large amount of the
missing money had gone in that way, and this state
of facts was confirmed by the evidence given on the
trial.
The public evidently has an interest in the ques-
tion How was this large amount Of money spent
What legitimate expenditure in the prosecution
of this claim could have come up to anything hke
that amount In pain words, the question arises,
Was sny-snd, if so, how much-of this money
spent in blibing members of Congress or other
influential parties at Washington An actual
statement Of the expenditure of the money might
serve to relieve some painful suspicious; nor do wa
see how this claim can be again moved 10 Congress
TIL some explanation is first given how this large
sum has been spent.
