tears IN his eyes:

and you have suffered heavy punish-

saved you from a far g,eater sin-a sin
whose punishment Mt is for ever and ever.
You have been through d frey trial; let
your future life show that YOU have been
truly 'purged in the fire.. For your Of
fense against myself, God forbid that I
should add to your punishment-I for

you need have no fear about your coming
back to your old place in the Office, for
no one except myself will ever know a
word of the matter. One thing. however,
you must promise me-bever to enter a

began, and then stopped short, rs the
uu6tness of the word, from one in his
situation, flashed cruelty upon him.

out his hand, sdon't take it back, it is

And with Gods help he did. He rose
from that bed, where for so many weeks
he had lain in peril of his life, an altered
man. His former friends wondered at
the change, and declared that he had left
his youth in the fire; but they knew
nothing of the fiercer FIRE which during
the long weeks had ragged in his bosom,
and had scorched away the relish for
youthful iollies. Having stood SO awfully
near to death he had learnt to value lite
and to strive so to use life that death
should be no longer terrible. Aud, so
striving, God pro~pered him. The father
of the little girl tha, he had saved was a
wealthy man. and with generous kind

His kind old master stood his faithful

THE PARDON REPORT.

The pardon report, accompanying the Gov
ernor's message, will be found in to-day's
TELEGRAPH. 1t gives the names of the crimi-
nails pardoned, during the last year, in Penn
sylvania, together with the alleged reasons
for the exercise of Executive clemency. The
general effect of such a publication is no
doubt beneficial, as it inevitably imposes
check of some kind upon power which, in
its nature, is absolute. Geary is entitled to
credit for reducing the average number of
pardons, and for resisting the pressure which
has no doubt been applied in many
undeserVing cases embraced in the
l24O applications which were made duriag
the year. The list of sixty-two pardons
granted also embraces q fair proportion of
deserving cases, in which the Governor very
properly and Justly opened the prison doors.
The machinery of justice like all other ma
chinery, sometimes gets out of order and
works badly. An irate and preiudiced judge
may impose too heavy sentence,
stupid jury may render false
verdict, vindictive prosecuting
attorney may successfully institute frivolous
prosecutions, and terrible mistakes may be
made or stupendoUs wrongs be inflicted by
courts aud juries armed With the authority of
the Commonwealth The pardoning power
erects necessary barrier against the worst
consequences of such errors, and whom it is
applied to their correction, either by a Gov
ernor or a court Of parlons, it performs a
legitimate and essential Office. When par
dons are granted, however from mere
caprice, or because one or more Influential
persons siSu petitions G-kjng for them, or
because ii is alleged that the health Of
the criminal suffers from confaement,
or because one or more persons are depen-
dent upon the criminal for aupport, or be-

TIE HOUSE or CORRECTION

THE HOUSE OH CORRHCLIUN.
The House of Correction Commissioners or
ganized promptly yesterday, by selecting Mr.
A. II. Franciscus, the wel-known ex-member
of Select Council, as President. The work
on this much-needed institution is already
well under way, and within year we may
expect to see it in partial operation. Then
the question of its support will naturally and
necessarily arise. Such an institution should,
theoretically at least, be self-supporting but
it is scarcely to be expected that such will
prove to be the case at the outset, even if
wise management is able to secure it in the
end. Mr. Franciscus yesterday, in the course
of his remarks to the commission,
broached the subject which will soon
engage the attention of himself and
his colleagues. He stated that
the House of Correction at Pittsburg is sup
ported by tax levied upon tavern-keepers,
and declared himself in favor of a similar
disposition of the money received from
tavern keepers in this city. AS we have re-
peatedly insisted, the tavern-keepers' tax be-
longs properly to the City Treasury, and not
TO that of the State, into which it now finds
its way. In 1869 it amounted, under an eX-
ceedipgly loose system of collection, to
$179, 339 81, and in 1868 to $lG2, 47G0G. II
the laws'relatng to the selling of liquor we're
strictly enforced, the proceeds would
be largely in excess of these
amounts, and would certainly rise
above two hundred thousand dollars per
annum. This money should be paid into the
City Treasury, upon which falls the burden
of supporting criminals and paupers, to
whose ranks such large accessions are made
by the liquor traffic. AS much of it as may
be needed should go towards the support of
the House Of Correction, and the surplus, if
any existed, should be devoted to similar
uses. 1t is to be hoped that the House of
Correction Commission will give this subject
their earnest attention, and use all legitimate
means to secure such legislation as may be
needed to direct the proceeds of the tavern
taxes into their proper channel.

WE continually receive communications
asking Why no legal steps are taken to punish
thu leaders of the riot instituted at the meet
ing of the return judges of the October elec-
ton. If the alderman has not returned the
case to court, why has he failed to make such
a return Is there no process by which
Ahern can be brought before Judge and
jury A? Has bill of indictment been framed
and sent to the Grand Jury? If not, why
not? These and similar questions are asked
more frequently now than ever, in conse-
quence of the threatened danger that the
Democratic Senators at Harrisburg will re-
ward the leader of the riot at time when
our courts should be making Judicial inq7iry
INTO his inpntel guilt.
