The Pardoning Power.

The use that is made of the pardoning
mower, confded to our State Executives by
their several Constitutions, Is II great aud
growing evil This power, designed 10 pre-
vent wrong is, in weak or unworthy hands
an engine that intercepts justice, and de
feats. in numerous cases, all the ends OF our
criminal jurisprudence. The Marquis Bee
caria has said that the power to pardon does
not exist under perfect administration of
the law, and that the admission of the pow
er il tacit acknowledgment Of the iniirmity
of the course of justice.
Be this as it may. the general sense OF
mankind has concurred in the propriety OF
delegating OF conceding power to pardon.
There are SO many cases where convictions
are founded on prescriptions and probablll-
ties, and where subsequent inquiries put so
totally different complexion upon the facts
disclosed at the trial, that monstrous wrong
and Injustice would be done if no power to
pardon existed. Besides, cases may and do
arise when, technically, and according to the
strictness of the law, a man Is found guilty
of crime, vet morally stands excused What
is to be done Must he suffer that the mere
letter of the law may be satisfied or shall a
power interpose to save him? There can
scarcely be two opinions as to the proprlety
of pardoning a man under such circum-
stances. Indeed, on the part of intelligent
and rejecting men, there is little question as
to the limits Within which the Executive dis
cretion in the exercise of the pardon'ng
power should he confined. But at the pre-
sent day, and in many Of the States, no
limits whatever are observed. Criminals
are pardoned upon almost every conceivable
oousidcration-upon political, social, per-
sonal, and heaven knows what other grounds.
If criminals are let loose upon society after
they have been fairly tried and convicted by
the interposition of the Executive, lynch
law will soon be inaugurated. On the one
hand, crime will multiply in hope of impu-
nifty, and on the other the law and the ordl-
nary tribunals of law will fall into contempt
Instead of tho regular administration OF jus,
tice, we shall have that wild but prompt and
sharp Justice which belongs TO the frontiers,
and is better suited to barbarians than civil
zed man.-Phild. american.
