Harrlgan ! Reprleve.

The case Of Jeremiah Harrigan, con.
demned man whose life has twice been
saved by an Executive reprieve, has now
passed beyond the bounds Of public crItt
cism as far as the present Governor is con.
eerned, as the last respite will not expire
until Governor Halls successor has been IN
Office nearly twelve months.
1t Ia but proper, however, to defend the
motives actuating Governor Hall In this
peculiar case, as they have been cruelty as.
sailed In the most unjust manner from Ger.
tain irresponsible quarters. That he was
not In the least degree controlled by politi.
cal considerations has been apparent from
the first, as not only were Re.
publicans and Democrats united in
Harrigan's behalf, but his immediate
personal friends were careful throughout to
do or say nothing calculated to throw Q
shade OF political feeling into their proceed.
ings. The assumption that the efforts In
his behalf were mainly bid for tie "Irish
vote" Is monstrous peryersion of the real
facts, and direct insult to the thousands
Of Irish citizens In this community whose
regard for law and order Is too
high and pure to permit such suspicion 70
be for an instant entertained. We do NOT
believe that a single man who importuned
Governor Hall In Jerry HarIigan's behalf
did so with any otl.er idea than Of siding a
poor wretch under the shadow Of the gsi-
lows, whose sentence he believed to be far
in excess OF his just deserts, and whose guilt
was lessened BY strong facts made apparent
after the close ofthe trial.
The position Of the Governor was pecu.
liar and unenvious one. On one hand he
was restrained by the natural desire to re-.
irain from interfering in any manner with
the due processes Of the law, while on the
other the demands Of justice md mercs
urged Executive clemeucy IN the strongest
manner. The Courts, having once passed
upon the case, were powerless, under our
peculiarsystem Of criminal Jurisprudence, to
afford relief. Public feeling, backed BY the
production Of evidence not obtainable dur
ing the trial, worked In favor of the accused,
and the Governor was appealed TO In the
strongest terms TO interpose and prevent an
execution that many persons felt would be
really Judicial murder. Under these
circumstances the Governor leaned
TO the side of mercy, aud, as ninety.ntnc
men In hundred would have done Il placed
in the Fame situation, set an example to his
successor that can be followed until the con-
demned man, by tcrm of imprisonment,
has expiated the grade of crime of which he
was really guilty.
Tho Governor, We thmk, has acted wisely
throughout, and the attempt to impugn his
motives and those o. the gentlemen who in-
terested themselves In Harrigans behalf Is
as mean as it Is unwarranted by oil the facts
of the case.

The New Scientific American offices

We are glad to announce that the Scien-

books patent records, patent drawings, and
correspondence were preserved in massive

another building; consequently the types,
plates, presses, paper, ETC., were nuharmed,

Gated at 26l Broadway, corner of Warren

The new building fronts toward the City
Hall, the Court House, and the New Post
Office-a magnificent structure, which cost
eight millions to build. Nearly opposite, and
few hundred feet distance from the Scien-
tific American offices, is the entrance to the
great Suspension Bridge over the East River,
between New York and BROOKLYN, which re-
qllired ten years to construct and twenty
millions of dollars to pay for 1t. In front,
also, of the Scientific American rs the City
Hall and Park and Printing House Square,
with its statue Of Benjamin Franklin, and the
homes OF eminent editors and newspapers,
such as the New York Tribune, New York
Times, New York Sun, New York World,
New York Herald, Mail and Express Zeitung,
and others
The new Scientific American Offices are ad-
miraby chosen for active business. Here,

publications, Messrs. Mum u Co. aided by
