The Pardoned Criminals Defrauded by
Grant.
From the ", Y. World.

Front the ", Y World.
Whether the psrdons issued by President
Johnson during the last hours of his official
life were wisely issued we doubt; but, if par
dons of Jacob and Moses Dupuy were really
issued in due form OF law, as the administra-
ton organs all assert, confirming our own
special dispatches, and were sent by the
residents order To Marshal Murray, or if
pardons for Blaisdeli, Eckel, and Alcock were
delivered TO them by order OF the Executive,
we do not quite see how they are to be re-
voked, unless the criminals reject the doom
ments. The power of President Johnson in
the premises is indisputable. His pardoning
power was unlimited. For the offsnses par.
doned, the accused are beyond the reach of
punishment OF any kind. Perhaps pardon.
IKE deed, requires delivery and accent
ance; and President Grant or Secretary WASH
burne may intend to claim that the pardons
in the hands OF Marshal Murray have not been
delsoered, and SO can be Withdrawn. But the
criminals applied for them, and in response
they were issued and sent to Murray as the
person holding custody of the offenders. The
contract between the President and the loving
parties, according to the analogy OF deed
was complete when the former had done the
act which set the latter free so far as the Gov
eminent is concerned.
Besides, there is no law better settled than
that an act within the jurisdiction of the
President, lawfully done by him, cannot be
revised by one of his successors. The con.
trary doctrine would give an endless success.
