The President has concluded to commute the
death sentence of Charles O'Brien, convicted
OF the murder of Samuel Cunningham. to i'm
prisonment for life. While the President has
undoubtedly sought to do the just and proper
thing in the premises, and while it cannot be
charged that he is a man likely to be swayed BY
weak sentimentalism in behalf OF criminals, we
yet think that he has made a mistake in not
permitting the law to take its course in this
case; and that he has, moreover, set a prece-
dent which will embarrass him hereafter.
Elsewhere will he found the report of the law
officers of the government upon the application
for Communication in O'Brien's case, giving their
views Why the application should not be granted.
That report seems to US conclusive, unanswer-
able. In the language of the concluding por-
ten OF it, ''Who shall say, if this sentence shall
be committed, how many murders may flow
fTOm the Communication, and how MANY more
men may not for this most heinous crime end
their lives upon the gallows?''

As matter of fairness we give elsewhere
Gen. Buffers argument why the sentence of
O'Brien should be committed. 1t will be seen
that his statement of the facts and evidence,
while perhaps ereditable to him as the leading
criminal lawyer Of the day, bears so little like
ness to the history of the case familiar to the
citizens of Washington as to be scarcely recog-
nizable. We print in another column the report
made by the legal advisers Of the President
upon the application for Communication, as a
proper Offset to the ingenious sophistries of the
distinguished criminal lawyer who has exerted
himself so indefatgably TO save o'Brien s

Canal Opening For 1873.

The water having now been admitted through
the whole length of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal, the seasons business may be considered
as commenced. Some complaints have been
made of unnC eessary delays in this matter, but
we hope no serious damage has accrued thereby
We look upon this canal as second to none of
the several means and fields OF industry and
opportunity with which this region of country
is furnished. 1t is a principal avenue of supply
for an article Of human necessity that must
rapidly grow in demand everywhere among
civilized men, Not in cold temperate chimes
alone IL il required, for the tropics send in a
considerable demand; from all quarters are
heard orders for its shipment. AS the supplies
from England diminish, the deficiency is sought
to be made up elsewhere. We can do much to-
ward this, and should not be backward in the
effort; although we do not hold a MONOPOLY, we
Go, nevertheless, occupy a position of vantage.
And just here and row it is opportune to say
that il viii be cause of present and future sor-
row if any of US concerned in these opening
hopes, permit jealousies, rivalries, cross pur-
IOses, or secret and selfish schemings of any
sort 70 mar the far prospects before US. For
forty years the destines of the canal have
struggled through storm and darkness. How
great, then, the faulty which would obscure
the dawn of brighter day with untoward
cOunsels and unfTiendly designs Let not the
toO-oiten repeated story OF human frailty, ex-
empHfed in blurred opportunities and defeated
hopes, be soon quoted upon us. There is room
for all the enterprise, energy, capital, and
steadiness which We can command, and there is
reward enough at the end.
IL is to be hoped that in recording the history
OF the canal for 1875, il may fall to ones lot
TO speak Of loss of time and waste of capital
and labor from breaks and imperfectiOns which
might have been prevented by faithful Official
or ministerial care. A stitch in time saves
nine, saws the hOmely old proverb, and it says
what is now and always will be true; so Also
10 fair and proper opportunity for improving
the capacity and condition of the canal ought
TO be overlooked, for in such cordial and faith
ful regard the interest and honor of stockhold-
eTs, directors, customers, the state aud the pub
lie at large are bound up. The year now in
coming. with the probable introduction of steam
tOwage, may be one long remembered as the
first OF a new era in the prosperity of one of the
most important public works in the whole coun-
Try.

The New York Horld is willing to concede
that on one condition there will be an entire
unanimity of opinion in favor of the abolition
of capital punishment; and that is, provided
the muIderers will begin first. So long as indi-
Viduals will visit upon the persons who offend
them the punishment of death, so long must
society visit upon the persons who disturb the
peace in 20 terrible way punishment shock
ing enough to prevent it. This punishment is
inflicted for the good of society and for an ex-

lie OF kind that attracts attention and pains

Eor Dix, thanking him for the firm position he
took and maintained in the case of Foster, the
Car-hOOk murderer. Mr.. White takes a broad
view ofthe case. lie says that 1t was a conflict
between the right of personal security on one
side and ''infuence" on the other, and he con-
cludes that Governor Dix's decision, and similar
exhibitions OF executive frmness, must add per-

tanism and crime, as well as against the food
