Mr.. W. II. II. ELY was convicted Of aiding
and abctting In naturalization frauds in
Westminster county in December, 1876 and
sentenced to two years imprisonment in
the Kings county penitentiary. The Acting
President. Mr.. HAYES. has pardoncd him.
What reason was there why Mr., ELY should
be pardoned? He was an intelligent man,
and understood all about the nature of the
crime he was committing. He was by pro-
fcssion lawyer, and was familiar with the
law he was violating and with the penalty
TO which he subjected himself. There could
hardly be case of crime more destitute of
mitigating circumstances. If the statute is
ever to he enforced here was case most
emphatically demanding its enforcement.
II in ease like this the clemency Of the
Executive Is to Intervene, then it Is not easy
to imagine circumstances under which II
sentence is to be- fully executed; and the
law should no longer encumUer the statut"
book.
At the same time there may he detected in
! this some evidence II dawnng sense Of

The Proposed substitutes for National

bank notes now in circulation United

the notes enter into general circulation.
The result OF the hill would therefore be
the withdrawal Of $500 100000 of currency,
and the substitution for it Of $500 oooCoo of
mere certificates Of debt which would not be-
currency, except under a rare combination
Of circumstances
1t is quite evident that the imitation Nom

bring about any such result as this, aud
now that we have pointed ont their blundcr,
