TX his petition to the Board Of Par
dons. William Fl. Kemble has the I'M
Pudence to say, that the object aimed at
by all criminal laws has been attained
By his conviction, and that the ends of
public justice do not demand the imfic-
tion Of fine ana imprisonment. We
suppose there never yet was adefendant
in criminal proceeding, who would not
say the same thing when the judge was
about to pronounce sentence upon him.
From the murderer down TO the very
lowest offender against the law, all
sould re-echo Kemble's plea and say as
he does, My conviction has satisfied
the law, and no punishment is demand
ed" The members Of the Pardon Board
may recognize such view Of Kemble's
case and so may Gov. Hoyt, but public
justice and violated constitution will
enter their solemn protest against it.

HAS a majority of the Democratic
State Committee the right to instinct its
Chairman TO place upon :be rolls Of the
State Convention the names of the dele
gates representing the MeGSowan or an
tI-T1Hen faction Of the Democratic
party IN Philadelphia, and to exclude
tberefrom the names Of the Vaux or
Tilden delegates, from the same county, 2
This question has become important
from the fact that at the meeting OF the
State Committee last week resolution
was adopted by vote of 30 yeas to IA
nays. directing Mr.. Miller, the Chair
man, to place upon the rolls 1.-The names
of the delegates elected in Philadelphia
on December Sd, 1879, and certified to
by Berrell, the President of the State
Delegates Convention"
This is a complete recognition of the
right of the MCGOWAN delegates to seats
in the Convention. They claim that
they (forty-sir in number) were ''regu-
larly'' elected on the Sd of last Decem-
ber-that the Vaux men participated in
the election-that the MCGOWAN fac
tion elected thirty-eight of the delegates
and the Vaux faction secured the re-
manning eight This is the allegation OF
MCGOWAN and his followers, and the re-
suit was so announced by the papers
when the election took place. What is
meant by regular" election in Phila-
delphia is an open and as yet an unsolv-
ed question. Alderman Wm. McMul-
len, of the 'bloody FouTt ward may
possibly know its meaning, but We do
not. What he would call a regular
election in his district might, however,
be regarded outside Of Philadelphia rs q
frst-class riot--a sort Of DonnybrOok
fair concern. 1t is now stated that Mt.
Vaux and his friends are making pre-
parations in the regular way. of
/ course, to elect f,,U set of delegates,
who will 60 to Harrisburg and claim
/ their seats, and we suppose that this will
/ be done. However much this Philadel-
phia Montague and Capulet quarrel is
to be regretted, it is very plain 20 Us
that the State Committee has nothing
to do with it, but that it is purely a
question for the Convention itself. Can
anything be palmer than that dele
gate who answers TO the call when the
/ Secretary Of the Convention announ.
ces the districts he is there to represent
and whose tight is not disputed, is en-
titled to his seat, and that where there
is contest both the claimant and con-
testant must stand aside until the con-
troveTsy is settled. IF the State Com
mi.tec eau dictate the names Of the del
egates from one county who shall take
part in organizing the convention, it
can do so for every county in the State,
which would be an exercise of power
not to be dreamed Of for a moment.
Every convention has the inherent right
to judge Of the election Of those who
claim membership in it, and when that
right is surrendered convention abdi-
cates its highest function.

IE the lower branch Of Congress, on
Friday last, the troublesome and much

age OF an amendment 10 an appropriation
bill. and If the Senate cOncurS. as we

deputy marshals shall be appointed. not
by the Marshal, but by the Judge Of
the Circuit Court ot the United States
for the district il which such marshals
are TO perform their duties, or by the
District Judge in the absence Of the
Circuit Court Judge 1t also provides
that they shall be appointed in equal
numbers from the different political par
ties, instead of all being or one political

TIE Democratic State Committee, at
its meeting in Pittsburg on Thursday of
last week, fixed upon Harrisburg as the
place and Wednesday April 28th as the
time for holding the State Convention.
The time might very appropriately have
been made month later, to accommodate
several counties whose Democracy pre-
fer that their delegates should be chosen
by county conventions, instead Of by
county committees. But the Wallace
men, at least it was so said, wanted an
early convention, while the men who
swear by Randall, favored late one :;
and hence the result. The strong pro-
liabilities are that the conclusion arriv-
Cd at by the Committee, will neither
make nor mar the Presidential aspira-
tions OF Mr.. Tilden, or any Of the other
candidates

John ". Hamilton owned a promiz-

same clearinghouse. Patton wanted
Hanilton's s mine, but he could not pay
the price demanded. At length Hamii-

Patton confessed, too. that she had a
high regard for Hamilton. and would
not object 10 the trade, which was
thrreupon perfected. The ownership of
the mine was formally transferred TO
Patton, and the woman was delivered TO
Hamilton, who, as soon as a divorce can
be procured, is to marry her.

THE Democratic State Committee is
composed of fifty members, being one
from each Senatorial district. At the
meeting of the Committee in piiysburg,
on Thursday last, t,renty substitutes ap-
peared and were admitted-one r. W.
Guthrie. OF Altoona, having been al
mitted 10 eli the place OF d. T. Lloyd
OF this place, the regular member Of the
Committee. but who could not attend.
It appears from the published proceed
ings OF the Committee that when the roll
Of the Committee was called by one Of
the SecretaTys ard the Thirty-fifth dis
trict Cambria and Blair was reached,
Guthrie, who was then in the room,
mOdestly announced that be lived in the
district, and rs Mr.. LLOYD was not pre-
sent, he asked to ne substituted in his
place. The Chairman then read tele-
gram from Mr.. Lloyd stating that he
had not substituted any one in his place,
and after some discussion. Mr. Stein
man. OF Lancaster. moved that Guthrie
be admitted. and that motion prevailed.
We are very certain that no other Dem
ocrat in this State ever got into room
where the State Committee was in sess-
ion and took part in its deliberations. in
rs scuryy = manner as Guthrie did in
this instance. 1t was, of course, very
kind and considerste in Guthrie TO take
care that the district should not be un-
represented, but in doing so it was hard
ly necessary for Linn to display an
amount Of cheek that would make an
army mule blush with very shame.

The POPE's BUSIFICENCE.--
General sherman has written a letter to
TIE editor 3g local paper TO defend His
Holiness, the Pope. against newspaper
comments because he has given nothing
TO The suffering in Ireland, who are al
most exclusively adhe1 ent5 to the Cath
olic faith. A cable dispatch the other
day stated that the County Of y Tmagh,
Ireland, has Just sent 3. 600 to Rome as
Peters pence, " and the comments re-
ferred to were TO the effect that this
money might better have been eXpend-
ed for food for the famiShing than pour
ed into the ovcTfiOwipg Golfers Of the
Vatican, from which nothing has rs vet
been contributed 10 the starving CathC-
lies III Ireland. Mrs. Sherman states
that the cable is not trustworthy and
the press dispatches from Europe are
not to be relied upon when they refer to
the affairs Of the Catholic Church. but
she refers to q letter from Cardinal Nj
na, Of which she inciosas a COPY who
states that ''the tidings of the suffering
in Ireland have beyond measure dis
tTessed the Holy Father" " ana he hss
decided ''tO devote TO the aid of the
poor in Ireland the sum OF ten thousand

ACCORDING to the New I ork papers
the indications multiply Of an immense
Irish immigration during the coming
summer. The steady demand for bills
on Ireland, in small amounts, shows
that. Money has been sent to bring out
Il great many families from the famine
districts, and, according to the testi-
mOnv Of those who are IN a position to
know, there is scarcely a servant girl
that is not contributing more or less to
the furtherance Of that purpose for the
benefit OF her relatives. There are
many Withdrawals Of savings banks dc
posits as a result of this. There is 10 be
an organization perfected IN Chicago
next week, to provide homes for the
newcomers as soon rs they reach New
York. and an effort Will be made TO eX-
tend its operations to ;be latter city.
The movement thus far is under the au-
spices OF the Catholic Colonization So
ciety- and has the approval OF Rev.
Father NuGent lwhO is sometimes call
ed the Father Mathew o! LiverpGoll
and OF several bishops Of the Catholic
Church at the Northwest. II is bcliey-
ed that lands can be found for a good
many OF these immigrants in Minnesota,
and arrangements Will be made with the
steamship companies to bring them out
at reduced fares. The advance EuSTd
will consist Of one hundred families from
the district OF Conemara. Bishop o.
CounoT, of Omaha, engages TO find lands
for fifty or sixty Of these in Nebraska.
Their stay in New y Eork viii be no long
