hypothesis and implications only, and indi-
| cate no positive constitutional provision
withholding the power in question. We do
not see the force of the reasoning used to
support the deductions made They seem
to be little better than plausible conjecture
But We are not without authority on the
question OF the power of the Governor of a
State to grant pardOns in cases of contempt.
In 1874 Walter Hickey, of Vicksburg. Mis-
sissippi. was sentenced to fine and impris-
onment for contempt of the Circuit Court
OF Mississippi. He was pardOned by Gov
ernOr A, q. Brown, and released by the
sheriff, but was Immediately rearrested by.
order of the court. Upon application to
Mr.. Justice Thatcher, of the High Court of
Errors and Appeals of Mississippi (at that
time presided over by Chief Justice Shar-
KEY, writ of habeas corpus was issued,
and Hickey was brought before him. The
case being heard, the prisoner was dis
charged. Judge Thatcher, in rendering his
decision, said The whole doctrine of
cOntempts goes to the point that the offense
is wrong to the public--not to the person
OF the functionary to whom it is offered,
considered merely as an individual 1t
follows, then, that the contempts of court
are either crimes or mlsdemeanors in pro-
portion to the aggravation of the offepse,
and as such are included within the par
doning power OF this State Smeed &
Marshall, r., vol. 4, .. 81 see also Black
stone, vol. 4, p. 23l.
1t is proper to add that Lewis, the plain
tiff in sequestratiOn, has no interest or right
of property in the punishment inflicted. 1t
Is no concern of his, but concerns the State
alone; and the rule. therefore that when "a
private person las an informer, for example)
has acquired right of property in penalty
the executive can not pardon can have no
application to this case. 1t is not for us to
deal with this subject on the basis OF inquiry
into the motives of the executive in granting
the pardon to the prisoner in this case, uOr
to pronounce the act discreet or otherwise.
In the case here presented it is not denied
that the offense was committed. Neither
Is 1t pretended. that the punishment meted
out for the Otfense was wrOngfully inflicted
The party under duress pleads the pardon
and remission of the offense. and claims in
virtue of that pardon to he released and set
at large. Entertaining the views we have
expressed. we think him entitled to the re-
lief prayed for.
1t is therefore ordered that the writ be
made peremptory and the prisoner dis
charged.

diseases of the stomach and liver.
So extremely healthy is Covington that

driving off the grim monster-death-have
been provided for the inhabitants by
benevolent nature herself in opening, if
not in no other case, that Vichy we'll at
Castle Sterling. 1t is veritably fountain
of life, as itcures the very class of diseases
which are most common in the extreme
Southern climates-those of the liver and
digestive organs All! how wonderful are the
effects of this water. How it improves
the spirits, and renews the appetite of
those who drink it! How one can
eat here, and how sleep. 1t is marvellous.
Why, sir, l really believe that since my ar
rival here l have slowed away nearly my
weight of broiled chicken and fresh eggs.
and STILL like Oliver Twist, ask for more
and have never felt qualm Of uneasiness
from Indigestion. l tell you, sir, that the
efforts elsewhere of the best of trencher
men would be ridiculous compared with
every dag feats of the boarders here in
Castle Sterling. The water seems to renew
their stomachs as well as their appetites,
and old Lady Sterling, with true Cale.i
donian hospitality, seems to delight in pro-
viding the juiciest of tender chickens, the
most tempting of steaks, the freshest of
eggs lightest of bread and cakes, ETC.. to
temptthem to renewed exertion.
In recommending Coviugton as place of
resort for the summer, not the least of its
claims is the cheapness of living and rents.
Houses suited to families, with gardens and
fruit orchards attached, can be bought at
prices ranging from $500 to $1,000, or rented
at merely nominal figures. Board of the
best kind at $40 per month, with large.
airy rooms, and no extras. Provisions and
vegetables are to be had at about half the
prices we pay in the city, and during the
summer, fruit Of the best kind per bushel
for about the same sums that we in the city
pay for dozens.
l can not conceive. therefore, why people
do not come here by thousands. for it is only
d trip of from three to FIVE hours from Ca
nal street, which costs no more than that to
Bay st. Louis. ami is thousand times more
pleasant, even if it is varied by an occa-
slonal storm. kNARF

Mr.. Trumbull there are ''sneaks" in the
United States Senate, who 60 ''prowling

ton as to the applications of Senators for
Offices, and thereupon the indignant Senator
from Illinois, so far as he was concerned,
assumed the attitude of the valiant Macbeth,
exclaiming, too
clay on, Macdu1:
And damned be him that first cries, Hold! enough"
Next, according to Mr.. Morton, there are
hypocrites in the Senate, and II have right
to denounce hypocrisy wherever l find it,
"Sneaks" and "hypocrites !" In the good old
times before the war upon such in tolerable
charges as these there would have been q
fight upon the floor Of the Senate, or an

progress in civil service reform, such as it is,
