EPSON, N. III. May ., 1871.
Dear Sir-Having received great benefit
from the use of PERUVIAN SYRUP, / am
wiling to add my testimony to the thou
sands of others constantly sounding its
praise. Dnring the late war was in the
army, and had the misfortune to be taken
prisoner, and was confined in Salisbury
and other southern prisons several months,
and became 80 much reduced in health
and strength as to be mere skeleton of
my former self. On being released l was
a fit subject for a northern hospital, where
l remained some two months and then
came home. My physician recommended
and procured for me several bottles of Pr
RUvIAN SYRUP, which continued to use
for several weeks, and found my health
restored and my weight increased from 80
pounds to 100, my usual weight, and 1
have been in my usual good health ever
since; and can cheerfully recommend 1t
in all cases of weakness and debility of the
system, whether arising from an impure
state of the blood, dyspepsia, or almost
any other cause, believing 1t will in most
cases give entire satisfaction.
Yours truly, GRo. s. BIxBY.

MILLER-At Low Hampton, N. Y, April "a,
William s. Miller, Oldest son OF the late
william Miller. He leaves wife, Two daugh-
tiers and eight grandchildren TO mourn his
loss.
Mr.. Miller was born in Poultney, VT. in
1906, and removed with his father to Low
Hampton when about nine years old. In
1880 he was married to Caroline Bartholo-
NEW of East Whitehall, and moved on
the farm he occupied at the time of his
death. For anumber of years he was post
master, and also held many prominent
town offices, and wSs considered by his
neighbors man of sound judgment, and
Of sterling worth. In early in life became
a member of the Baptist church at Low
Hampton, and when his father, Rev.
William Miller, began to proclaim the
second coming OF Christ, he embraced
those views, and to him the second COM
ing of Christ was his constant theme. A
few days before his death he became un-
conscious, when brothers wife asked him,
calling his name, what word she should
send to a distant brother, and in reply he
said, "Tell Langdon i hope to have a part

THE RETRIEVE OF PHAIR.

The second repreve of John p. Phair
was not unexpected, for, after the granting
of the first reprieve, further respite sun
" til after the end of the next session of
assembly" was almost foregone conclu-
sion. Without taking into the considera-
tion the many and influential petitions
which bad been presented asking executive
clemency, without regarding the question
of guilt or innocence, the fact of there be-
ing very grave doubt as to the right to
execute John p. Phair on Friday, May 4,
was enough, of itself, to defer the execu-
ton until sometime after the close of the
next session of the general assembly.
The right and power of the governor to
grant reprieves are limited, the constitu-
tion expressly declaring that in cases of
murder and treason he shall have no power
to pardon, but may "grant reprieves until
"after the end of the next session of as
" sembly." Blackstone, and other learned
writers, hold that in democrscies the power
of granting reprieves and pardons cannot
exist; and, aside from the reasons which
they adduce in support of this opinion, it
would seem that under our form of govern
ment where the legislative, executive and
judiciary departments of the government
are separate and distinct, and each ID for
hidden from exercising, or interfering with,
the powers properly belonging to the other,
that this power of granting pardons and
reprieves, being an innovation on and ex-
ception to the general rule, should be very
strictly construed-and such, indeed, is the
rule of law. Constituting, then, this clause
strictly, and taking the word ''reprieve" as
il was used at the time of the adoption of
the constitution, ii would follow that the
power of the governor to grant reprieve
to Phair was exhausted with the close OF
the session of the general assembly in No
vember last, that being ''the next session
"of assembly" after his trial, conviction
and sentence.
Or, to take more liberal view of it,
and adopting the popular idea that re-
prieve is only granted when the execution
of the sentence is imminent, but still ad.
herring to a strict construction OF the con-
stitution-in fact the only reasonable CON
strnction when we bear in mind that the
object of the reprieve was to enable con
demned man to seek the interposition Of
the general assembly in his behalf-anG
we have the power given to the governor
to "grant reprieves until after the end Of
/" the next session of assembly"-that is t.
some time after the month of November Of
December, 1878. SO then, upon eithel
theory of the constitution, the hanging o.
John p. Phair, to-day, would have beer
an illegal taking of human life-in wore
and technically, it would have been simply
manslaughter. How much, or how little
these considerations had to do with tn,
granting of this second reprieve, we know
not-but they fully justify it, il nothing
else does.

The Cincinnati Commercial has been
through with the election returns and finds
that had the district system for appointing
presidential electors-that is, the election Of
two electors by the state at large, and the
remaining elector by single congressional
districts-been in vogue at the last election,
the result would have been one hundred
and eighty.seven votes for Hayes,
and one hundred and eighty-two for Til
den. In arriving at this result, however, it
gives the votes at large in Florida and Lou
isisna for Hayes, so that without these
four votes, Hayes would have hal but one
hundred and eighty-three votes to one hun
dred and eighty-two for Tilden, with the
Louisiana and Florida returning boards

ton as it was finally determined.

ton of criminal justice must be bad. That
punishment for the infraction of laws, to
be effective in commanding respect for, and
enforcing obedience to, the laws, must be
prompt, speedy and certain, is too plain for
argument. Any other course tends to
bring the laws into dsrepute, and the exc
cutors thereof into contempt. The grant
ing of this reprieve to Phair makes his pun
ishment uncertain, and opens the door for
his evading all penalty for his crime. In
any event, even II the result should be

to commute his sentence, or, a new trial

FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1877.

Vermont, it would seem, is not the only
state that is troubled with incompetent
legislatures. In New York, year ago, a
new "code of remodel justice" was passed
to go into effect May /, 1877, but there was
almost an universal demand that the time
when it should take effect should be post
poned. Accordingly one branch of the
legislature put the date off six months,
and the other insisted upon a delay of a
year, and the wrangle was kept up till
the very first day of May, when under the
former law, the code took effect with the
bench, bar and people all unprepared for
it. AS the Tribune well says, "this sort of
legislative pickering trihes with serious
interests, and there ought to be an end
"toit."

A Queer Matrimonial Scandal.

A queer ministerial scandal has recently
disturbed Griggstown. N. j. Rev. Mr..
Williams, while pastor of the Reformed
church, was secretly married to young
woman in Princeton. He did not tell the
members of the Griggstown flock of the
nuptials, but, returning to that picturesque
New Jersey hamlet, continued to visit Miss
Mary Voorhis. Mr.. Williams did not be d.
come engaged to Miss Voorhis, as the news
papers have said he did; but he went to
the farm house early and stayed late-often
until 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning,
Farmer Voorhis says-and the neighbors
and farmers regarded him as a sutton for
Miss Mary's hand. After the clergyman
was well settled in the parlor, on these
visiting nights, the farmer and his wife,
with an eye to Mary's success, prudently
retired, leaving the pair to entertain each
other. This had been continued for nearly
year before the clergymans marriage
reached the ears of Farmer Voorbis. To
confront Mr.. Williams with the rumor was
clearly the farmers duty, and he FASTENED
to perform it. The clergyman denied
that he was married. The rumor, how.
ever, was verified, again denied by
Mr.. Williams, and then confessed by hin
to be true. All Griggstown condemned
the clergyman, he resigned, and the Chassis
of the Reformed church assembled to dis
solve the pastoral relation. Farmer Voor
his made no charges against Mr.. Williams
nor did any one else. Mr.. Williams .tolC
the clergyman that he bad been "indis

Political Notes.

The New York Sun is still making up faces
at President Hayes, and repeating angriy
from safe distance that the little girls of the
Hayes family shan't ever swing on its gates.
The President has concluded not to be in
hurry about nominating successor to
Justice Davis on the supreme bench. The
applications which come from the South for
the appointment of Southern man, are
about equally divided between Herchell v.
johnson and ex-senator Joshua Hill OF
Georgia.
Hoyt H. Wheeler, who takes the place of
the late Judge Smalley as United States dis
trct Judge for Vermont, is at present a
Judge of the state supreme court. He was
chosen judge by the Legislature in 1860.
The Springfield Republican speaks of ''the
resultant of the forces that guide history, and
which we shall continue to call God" We
rejoice to hear that the Republican has con-
cluded to continue thus wisely; people had

THE Graphic thinks that the present Sen.
ate has ADLER men in it and more of them
than any other, more men of large experience
in public affairs, and the tact, the talent and
industry that give power and influence in
that body. 1t says:
Perhaps Webster could make more memoir
able speech on a great occasion than any man
in the present chamber; but he was sluggish,
indolent, easily outwitted, and an Indifferent
tactician. Perhaps Clay surpassed any present
Senator in personal address and power of con-
citation and manipulation, but in any other re
spect he was inferior to half dozen men in
the present chamber. Calhoun was intense
but narrow; Benton was a good deal more of a
figure than force, and Buchanan was only a
respectable Pennsylvania lawyer But Conk-
ling is a man of splendid abilities and high
training, and vast knowledge of public affairs,
and as an orator ranks among the first in the
nation. Morton is man of immense talent.
Blaine is consummate dialectican, has tre-
mendous energy. and is one of the ablest men
in public life. E9munds is the peer of any
man who has ever sat in the Senate. Thurman
would be called great man anywhere Bayard
has all the qualities that go to make an emi'
nent statesman. Hoar is scholar and orator
Judge Davis is man of unusual mental capac
ity and grasp of facts and principles. Ben Hill
Is one OF the really great men OF the country
and for genuine eloquence Mr.. Lamar has few
superiors. The list might be continued by the
mention of other names The superior charac
ter of the present Senate makes its present de
lberatious of SPECIAL interest to the country
and draws all eyes to its attitude on the ques
tions of the hour.
