facts IN the case they understood by the prose

First, that Richard w. Meade the intcsate had valid
claims ON the Spanish government prior to the 22d a

Second that the United States. for consideration ne
eeiyed by them from Spain have released the latter gov

Third, that this release granted upon certain
terms, without the assent OF Mr. Meade without his au
thoriiy, and against his protest
Fourth, that the validity and amount of Mr. Meades
claims Spain adjusted quidated and adjudicaed
at the instance by the Intervention. aud with the aid II

Fifth, that although the claim OF Mr.. Meade was IN
form submitted to the commissioners under the treaty
of February e. 1919, and not allowed by them that
fact rs no bar to his right to demand satisfaction from The
United States
Sixth, that consequently the United States are now

tnguished fellow citizen Hon John Ward, has been
mentioned in connexon with the place We are graft

fortunate in securing the services Of Mr.. Ward. He
is an eminent lawyer, experienced legislator

The President has conimuted the sentence of death
against Charles Barret for the murder Of Reeve
Lewis into imprisonment for hfe in the penitentiay
Of Washington. The following is copy Of the rea-
sons recited ia the communication
Whereas the jury which convicted Charles Barrett now
under sentence Of death for the murder of Reeve Lewis
have earnestly bcsought to commute his punishment
to imprisonment for the term of life They represent
that the said Charles Barrett is young man that the
evidence adduced his trial showed concnsively that
the crmo with which he charged was not committed
with generalization deliberate design bnt on the con-
trary was the work Of moment pepetraed under the
maa,lening effects OF Intoxicating liquor, of which the
unfortunate had freely paraken the night Of the
fatal deed that there acquaintance relation Of
hostility between the unfortunate and the said de-
ceased, and the was characterized by an
entire absence Of the motives which usually impel to
crime -
And whereas the acting District attorney, who prose-
cuted for the United States the trial. for several
sons since brought to his knowledge has expressed
doubt whether Barrett actually fired the shot which
caused the death Of Reeve Lewis and after careful
animation Of all the facts and circumstances myself
entertain q serious doubt upon this subject And, al
though according the law Of this District he would still
be guilty Of murder yet if his associate fred the shot
which killed Lewis this is circumstance which, IN some
degree mitigates the crime Of Barrett especially as In
the opinion of the jury it was not committed with pre-
meditation or deliberate design"
And whereas the party was convicted only OF the
crime of mansaughter, and, for this offence has been
sentenced eight years confinement in the pententiary
and it would seem be unequal of justice to
execute capital sentence upon the other And al
though i'm clear case this would not be sufficient cause
to arrest the execution of Barrett yet under all the cir
cumstanccs Of the present case this is fact which de-
serves consideration
And whereas divers highly respectable persons have
strongly urged to commute the sentence OF death
against Charles Barrett into imprisonment for e alleging
that by this mode Of punishment the ends of public
Justice would be subserved and society sufficiently pro-
tected Now, therefore Sc, &C.
