Incompetent and faithlsss pubic SOL
wants, by their ignorance Of duty, q
abuse Of power, always bring reprosc
upon the Office with whose authorit
they have been clothed, and to that 81
tent weaken and embarrass the admin
istration Of the government. In tn
performance of this duty, my chic
purpose will be to select such person
for the Offices as shall possess those ele
ments Of character that will best sscur
the end Of their creation.
The Constitution provides that tn
Governor shall have power to grant r.
prieves and pardons, and to remit fine
and forfeitnres. Penalties constitut
the force Of criminal law. The author
ity, therefore, to suspend or nulify tn
judgment Of law, which involves the ir
fiction of punishment upon offenders
should bs exercised with larg
degree OF caution and delibera
ton. The object ofhuman punishmen
is not to procure satisfaction or atone
ment for offenses committed, but sim
ply to correct offenders, and by tn,
dread OF their example deter tho vi
cious and evil disposed Whenevel
the rigid enforcement Of the law tall
to accomplish that object, then human
ity as we'll as the highest wisdom de-
mands the exercise Of the authority
conferred by this humane provision o
the Constitution. By reason Of the fall.
bility Of the human judgment, and the
impertection Of human institutions
circumstances must necessarily arise
in some cases, that plead strongly for
the mitigation of the severity of penal
laws which contemplate the attainment
Of strict justice, and not the practice
Of mercy. But, in the exercise Of this
benign authority, compassion for them
who have been overtaken with the
natural consequences Of their own
crimes, should not be allowed to usurp
the place OF judgment and thus sacri-
flee in measure public safety to hu-
man sympathy.
To take care that the laws be faith
fully executed is duty enjoined
by the Constitution upon the Gov
ernor. Certainly, in the execution
of the laws, it is absolutely es-
sential to tho maintenance of
good government. Uncertainty, in the
execution of laws, though founded up
on the highest principles of equity and
justice, would furnish ground of hope
for escape from the consequences of the
violation Of law, and would therefore
have tendency to encourage trans
gression and to inspire certain degree
of contempt for public authority. |
feel deeply conscious of the importance
Of this duty, and shall, to the extent of
the authority with which am clothed,
attend faithfully to its performance.
The legislative power of the State is
vested exclusively in the General As
iembly. The only duty of the execu-
tive in respect to the formation of laws
IS "tO give to the General Assembly IN
formation of affairs concerning the
State, and to recommend to their con-
,ideration such measures as he shall
Judge expedient." The members of
he legislature are the trusted represen
.ativrs of the people, and upon them
'ests the responsibility of giving ex
PRESTON to their will by the enactment

IMPORTANT TO wORKINoMEy.
The act offered this afternoon by Mr.
Ware in the House, $50 prefer wages o
employees in case OF execution and as
signments to the amount of one hun
drsd dollars" is of great Importance tt
workingmsn. The act says: lst, all
money that may become due for labor
or services rendered by any mechanic,
laoorer, clerk or other employee of any
person or persons, chartered company
or association, employing laborer, clerks
or mechanics in any business whatever,

wise, for any period not exceeding one
year immediately preceding the sale
transfer execution or assignment of the
property of the said employer or en-
ployers, shall be the first paid out by
the officer or assignee making said sale
whether said sale is by judicial process
or otherwise.
Ind. That the claim ofsuch mechanic
laborer, clerk or other employee prefer

exceed the sum Of 800 and notice of
said claim shall be given to the Sheriff,
Coroner, Constable, auctieneer or as
signee who shall make or conduct said
sale OF property liable to lein on
any purchaser about to purchase prop
erty thus subject to him.
3-d. That no such claim for work.
labor or clerk hire shall be a lien upon
any real estate or property a. is pro-
vided for in section l, of this act, unless
said claim shall be filed in the prothon-
etary's Office of tue county in which
such real estate or property is situated

Shall have become due and owning in
the same manner as mechanics liens
are now filed.
4th. That no mortgage or other in
strument by which lien is hereafter
created shall operate, impair the lien
preference given and secured to the
wages and moneys mentioned in the
first section of this act.
fth. That nothing in this act shall
be construed to effect existing con-
tracts of liens Vf record prior to the
passage of this act.
This bill ii its passage is secured will
tll want that has long existed in the
ordinary life of the workmen. There
san be no doubt of the beneficial effect
If its merits, and of its ultimate good
o that class which, it, in its aim, means

measure is an encouraging one.
