SORRoWFUL FATE OF A STATUE. "A Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Even
ing Post writes: word may be said OF Green
ough's Washington, that itated statue which
broke bridge and sunk ship before it reach
ed America, and which has been the whltest
of elephants ever since it got here. Every
visitor to the east Capitol grounds must re-
member the huge seated figure, its hair comb
ed as nicely as Puritan minister's and Its
drapery oosencd as carelessly as Apollo's.
Sword in hand and finger outstretched 1t has
sat, as if saying, according to time-worn joke,
Here's my sword, but my clothes are in the
patent Office" where they are under glass
case Rlievos of Hercules and Apollo on the
panels of the chair represent respectively
strength and enterprise, and Columbus Jubl-
laut and an Indian despondent, form the two
pillars of the back. First IN war, hrst IN
peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen is
the inscription on the base. Greenough was
the first American artist charged with gov
ernment commission. This statue was design
ed for the centre of the rotunda OF the capitol,
but 90 account of defective light was moved hlth-
er over a tramway specially constructed down
the great steps. Here, at first, wooden pavll-
ion, that looked like a windmill more than nan
anything else, covered it, but finally that tell
ington has enjoyed the sun and rain without an
intervening obstacle. Greenough bitterly, and
justly too, protested against putting this work
out of doors, an exposure for which it was
never designed. Already it is diseolored and
crumbled in some places; the rain settles in the
folds of the toga which the little sparrows use
as regular bath tubs Horato Stone affects to
see great beauty in this statue, and it may yet,
headless, armleSs, mutilated and disfgured, be
the treasure Of some future museum. The
cost was $4,000 and its travelling expenses
probably as much again. Now another jour
ney awaits it-this time to the fish pond. This
pond is to be arched over aud used as reser,,
voir for the Senate engines, aud the father OF
bis country will preside at the summit OF the
arch and stare at the next President when he
is taking the oath oe the portico. He has had
wooden hood over him for many weeks with
his poor fore6uger sticking up through ;. the
boards like signal Of distress, and while
write large crowd of mules and negroes-in-
dspensable elements of public works 10 Wash
ington-are dragging him slowly to bis destl-
nation.

VALUE OF A CoMMA.-The Constitution OF
the State of Vermont as printed IN the gener-
al statutes aud other official publications for
over eighty years, declares that the Govern
or, and, 10 his absence, the Lieut. Governor, .
lin the original constitution 1t was the Govern
or and Council y shall have power to grant
pardous and remit 6Des, 10 all cases whatso.
ever, except 10 treason and murder, in which
they shall have power to grant reprevcs, but
not to pardon until after the end Of the next
session of the Assembly," This seems to say,
distinctly, that the Governor shall not have the
power to pardon traitors and murderers until
after the end Of the next session OF Assembly
and by implication it would seem to follow that
they may pardon murderers after session has
intervened. The question as to what the con-
stitutiou really means in this matter came up
in conversation between several gentlemen 10
the State Library at Montpelier the other day,
Mr.. Abel of West Haven, was of the opinion
that the constitution did not intend to give the
power of pardon to the Governor at any time
in cases of treason and murder, and he found
10 volume of Vermont reports an opinion of
Judge Williams to that effect. The point
was speedily settled by the production by the
State Librarian of the first printed copy of the
constitution, (priDted at Hartford, Conn.,,
in l779, ia which comma plainly appears after
the word pardon" in the sentence quoted.
This makes all clear. The words 'but not to
pardon" are plainly parentbetical, and the
meaning is as plain as if it read: he shall have
power to grant reprieves (but not to pardou)
until after the end Of the mex: session, or he
shall have power to grant reprieveS until at
ter the end of the next session, but not to par
don. When the constitution was next print
ed, year or two later, the comma was omitted,
doubtless by careless proof-reader and from
then till now the constitution has never been
correctly printed.
This is not the first case in which careless
omission or substitution Of comma has made
an important difference with the meaning and
construction of law. The act Of 1870, pro-
viding for the abolishing of school districts, as
drawn, required each town in the State to take
action in the next March meeting on the ques-
tion whether it would substitute the town sys-
tenn for the district system. The Legislature
intended that each town should have the sub
iect up in town meeting and take de6aito ac-
ton upon ii; but blundering engrossing clerk
put in comma where none belonged, and the
act, as passed, left it optional with the select:
men to put an article in the warnings in ref
erence to the school systems or not. And IN
point of fact not dozen towns in the State
acted on the question.
