In the House the question of building
an Asylum for the insane has in man
ner been tested. So far there seems to
be no disposition on the.part of that body
to saddle the State with the unnecessary
expense Of erecting a costly structure, at
time when it has more public buildings
under headway than it finds itself capable
of completing. 1t is some time yet until
the expiration Of the present contract
and it would be but wisdom to allow
things to remain as at present, and COM
plete the buildings already begun before
commencing others. In the mean time
we know that the insane will be properly
cared for, as they have been in the past,
under the skilful care of Dr. Hawthorne.

Imprisonment in the penitentiary without
any alternative, and without regard to
the value of the animal
The judge who pronounces the SEN
teneo of the law upon offenders, has a
better opportunity to know what amount
of punishment should be inflicted, as he
has heard the testimony in their case,
and been able to observe the surround
ings. But the evidence adduced is adj
mitted under rules that are general, and
often arbitrary, besides he may be i'm
pulsive and in some cases been uncon-
sciously prejudiced, and he certainly does
not know the effect the punishment he
imposes will have upon the culprit, or
it's influence upon the public. Nor can
he know the many little circumstances
surrounding the transaction which have
influenced perpetration Of the offence,
and over which the offender had no con-
troll.
Whenever it can be ascertained that
punishment has fulfilled the purpose for
which it was intended, or has accom-
plished all it is capable of accomplishing
in particular case, its continuance be-
comes vindictive, By a close inspection
of the conduct of convicts, and an inquiry
into their history, many facts may be
elected which, in some cases, tend to ex-
tenunate their transgressions. Many
of them, however, naturally belong in q
prison, are vicious and unfit to be al
large, while many others owe their con
dition more to misfortune than to de
pravity. 1t has been my policy thus far
to hold them to a rigid discipline whiIt
i'll prison, and to release them as soon d:
consistant with public safety and justice
| [ have doubtless made mistakes in tn,
exercise of the pardoning power, but il
every case | have exercised it consci
entiously and with view to benefit TIN
prisoner and the State And in nearl,
all of the cases, SO far as I have beel
able to learn, those who have been. re
leased, have since conducted themselve
properly. The duty which the authorit
imposes is not pleasant one. 1t woul
be much more agreeable to a Governo
to shirk its responsibility entirely by re
fusing to interfere in any case, but
would be very unjust to adopt any sue
course.
I The law requires also that when tn
Governor grants reprieve, commutatio
or pardon, or RENTS fine or forfeitur
he must within ten days thereafter, I'll

ton thereto, in the Office of the Secretar
of State, by whom they must be kept, 6
public records, open to public inspection
; You will find the papers relating to I'll
cases reported on file in accordance wit
the law and subject to your examination
