The extent TO which Gov. Clark aud other
Governors have been disposed to carry the prerog-
alive Of clemency raises the question whether the
e1eIciie Of that prerogatiye ought properly to be
ntrusted TO single Individual, governed by no pre-
cedent, restrained by no rules and exposed to act
rather under the influence of his feelings than under
that of his judgment. The fact that one of the
conyicts recently pardoned out by Gov. Clark has
already subjected himself to new charge, no less
serious than that of manslsughter, gses additional
emphasis to this inquiry.
in England whe1 &C we have derived our ussges
on this subject, the pardOniDg power, though nomi-
naly vested in the sovereign, is really exerclded BY
a Committee Of the Privy Council, to whom all ap.
plicatiOns art referred. That Committee cOnsti-
tutes in fact, Court Of PardODs proceeding in its
investigations according to settled method, and is
guided in IFS decision of individual by certain
general principles. In cur sister State of Massa-
chusetts the pardonirg power il exercised not by
the Governor alone, but by the Governor BY and
with the consent Of Oh Executive Council
In the Convention for Amending the Constitution
Of Massachusetts,, held few years since, propo-
stion Was brought forward for abOlishing this EI-
ecuiive Council. That proposition was at first re-
ceived with great favor, and if we recollect Alright
the abolition Of the Council passed the Convention
by large msOriiy. The idea was that this Coun-
Gil was useless old piece of lumber and that as
apy such body had been dispensed with in New
York and several other States, Massachusett. might
60 well to follow the example. 1t happened, how
ever, that there were in the Convention several
gentlemen who had acted as members Of the Coun
ell and from statements made by them from their
own experience, Of the services rendered BY the
Council in this very matter Of applications for the
exercise of the pardoniDg power, the Convention
vas induced to reverse its former vote.
Would il not be we'll 10 create a court, council or
eommii sion 10 act as the Governors adviser. in this
business Of psrdons We commend this question
to the consideration OF the Assembly now in session
st Albany.
There is another point, too, o! the Massachusetts,
law that might, perbsps be initiated with sdvan-
tsge. The being sent TO the State Prison second
or third time constitutes in that State distinct
i've ofeDse, for which every second or third conner
sf'er having served out the sentence under which
he was re- cent there is subjected 10 extension
Of his term Of imprisonment by new sentence
based on the record OF his second or third cOnvic
ton Certainly it would Be no more than reasonable
to apply this principle at least 10 the case Of con-
victs pardoned out and coming back again on new
sentences. Additional imprisonment for at least
double the term of the RENTED senten, e would
seem 20 be, in case. Of that sort, but piece of
Ustce DO lees 70 the public than to the criminal.

party win be likely to reach al Of them. Mr.. Wood
told Us in his Message OF jan. II. 1855, tina: while
the power to sppcint and remove Policemen Is
elective il viii be expecting too much Of hum,n
nature to suppose that political influence can be
"eIclufed altogether" that "the whole Police
Board VS. elected at the late election, and two
"of them we're candidates for reelection; and Pc
"Eoemtn would have been more or less than
Imam If they could hare remained indlher-
cent spectators Of he result" 4 year al
trwsrd be ssid that az Policemen were voters
ard had political vsiue which was stock IN
trade TO make them Of consequence, recollection
of former political combits, with the lsures still
green, prevents that submission necessary 70 q
weI!.orsanized corps" that while the creating
power was political and liable to change they must
nmsin subject to prejudice or pleasure. This year
be substantially repeats the same arguments. Very
well then; LET US remove the police making power
from this danger by going to the highest competent
authority for commission of our best citizens to
have control of the police. Mr.. Wood proposes to
have all power over the police put in his hands,
though bis flee is the very ore Of all the elective
Offices in the city upon which party spirit most
powerfully acts. Therefore, leaving his Own per-
.ensl aims out Of the question, Mr. Wood is with
as tesrt and hand on the Police question.
The re1t important proposition 10 to have The
Charter election upon some other day than that for
NatioIal ard State Ulcers. On this point in 1855,
Mayor Wood said; ~ cannot omit expressing my
conviction that much benefit could be derived to
"the city by separating the election of Charter
officers from that for State and National officers
He further argued that local interests were lost
sight Of in the conflict on natOna issues, aud that
the trouble Of frequent elections was of little I'M
portance compared with the danger Of selecting
improper men. We venture to say that these are
the sentiments of tie great body Of the people and
therefore we set down Mr. Wood as cOncurring
with us and with the public at large on this question.
These points embrace all the radical changes pro-
posed. Details follow as matter Of course, and
have little BEARING upon principles. II the election
of Fernando Wood to the May orally has served b
arouse the people to the defects Of the existing
,ystem of government; if his liberal promises aud
lsmentable failures have proved the necessity of
reform, ger erous public Will moi fai to give him
full credit for the ingenious frankness with which
he hin self has pointed out the places where be re-
quiroj The restricting hand Of law or the active
spur of direct responsibility.

The Committees in the Board OF Council men
were announced Last night. The Democratic ma
ority got very much excited in the matter and did
several absurd things. Mr.. Hsswsl, the defeated
caucus candidate for President declined TO serve
on the Law Committee; Mr.. Ryer resigned from
the sane Committee; Mr.. Hughes backed out from
the Arts and Sciences and Mr.. Dunn from the
Public Health Committee. What was more re.
variable, the majority, almost to man, voted TO
accept the designations thus squarey deserving the
President, and throwing everything into confusion
This is all because half dozen asPirsnts for the
post Of Chairman of the Finance Committee were
disappointed. We submit that if any have
the right to complain il is the Republican
members. They are generally excluded from
tire most important Committees, such IS Assess
n ents, Finsrce, Street Cleaning, Water, Ferries
Land sid Places Central Park Police, Repairs
snd Supplies, Salaries, Streets and Whsrves; and
are put on Arts and Sciences, Laws and Ordinances,
Accounts ard few others scarcely more imPor-
taut We do not mention this to complain, nor to
drag politics into the Board. The Republicans
asked nothng-and got It, pretty nearly. If polt:-
cal cams had been ignored, the Opposition
members would have had very different position

Since Mayor Wood hiss manifested so much con
cern about the dangerous amendments 10 the
Charter of this City which he charges certain un.
named parties with proposing il may be worth
while 10 recall bis own suggestions and see in how
much they differ from the action generally agreed
upon TO be recommended 10 the Legislature this
Winter. Aside from Registry law, the main
features Of reform asked for by the great body OF
good citizen, AIT these: t. make heads Of Depart
ments appointed instead Of elected officers: to
place the police beyond eiectioneering control; to
separate the Charter election from the whirlpool OF
State and National politics. and 70 secure homes
and impartial Inspectors of Election
The object Of appointing instead Of electmg Chiefs
Of Department, ]. to bring heu under the contrO
Of some ehc;ent head. The Charter of 1880
which hss been time and sgain l.uded by Mr.. Wool
a, the best we have ever hsd, msde the Common
Council the sole appointing power, not giving the
Mayor any voice in the matter. We think the gen.
era opinion s in favor of restoring this appointing
power TO one st least and perhaps TO both Boards,
so that The Common Council shall be responsible
for the conduct Of nearly all executive officers.
Mr. Wood bss argued through 81 bis messages that
nearly all the ireticiency and plund sring Of ate
years ha, arisen FROM She election II these officers
snd their consequent removal from the control Of
any power which could act promptly in cases Of
misconduct. Therefore Mayor Wood is is favor Of

We are far from disposed TO regret that 80 happy
result vas only arrived at through hours ofwarm
debate AID at the expense to many Of good nights
sleep. Two distinct bodies seldom unite to form
third without some eferyescence; at least, two
friends can never be at one till they have come to
an explanation Of the difference between them.
Such is the law Of natuIe-certainly of human ma
ture. Sooner or later the two parties would have
had TO fight their way to perfect understanding
and, in such matters, it ia never well to postpone
the day. and thus leave room for new cause OF
quarrel to creep 10. We rejoice that the contested
resolution was introduced. 1t was called fire.
brand in the course of the debate. So it was, for
it burned up no1ous yapors and left the air pure.
The action Of this Convention gives us courage TO
do what few have been hardy enough to attempt
Of late years. We are all but emboldened to
prophecy, that the State will be ours for years to
come. Her people appear to be almost as thor
oughy united as in the days of Roger Sherman.
They are enthusiastic in behalf of the cause Of
liberty, and disposed to work for victory in place
of believing that it will come while they sleep. We
do earnestly hope that Connecticut will now cease
TO be a comet, whose course no man can predict,
and henceforth burn in the political horizon, star,
like Vermont, that never sets. Of what New
England State may we not hope as much now, or
of what Free State by 1860!
