A corresnondent of the Cincinnati

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, who has been living in
Utah for years, protests against the
adoption of any halfway measures
in dealing with the Mormons. Let
us have either some very severe laws,
he says, that will crush out Mormon
ism. or let us withdraw all pretense
of government from Utah, give the
Mormons complete control of the ter
ritory aud station consul ct Salt
Lake City to guard Gentle interests.
II this policy is not pursued, he sug,
gests q "Poynings Act" sweeping
away the whole existing government
of Utah, the appointment of com
mission of five judges to settle all
matters. When man goes into
polygamy let him be adjudged civllly
dead; let his legal wife enter and take
one-third of his estate, his older chill
dren their share, and guardians be
appointed for the younger ones. When
this work is done, and we'll done, re-
organize the territory on the basis OF
fair, free vote, and Utah will cease
to be Mormon.

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.

The Texas editors who have been
grumbling at Governor Roberts, on
account of the frequency of commuta-
tions and pardons during his four
years occupancy OF a position where
he can spare life or bestow freedom,
should read the message of Governor
| Cornell, delivered to the New York
legislature week or so ago. This
stalwart republican executive dwells
with evident pride and complacency
IN the fact that during the year just
closed he has not lntertered to saYe
a man from the galloWs, nor has he
exercised the prerogative of mercy
in bidding the prison portals open
that single poor wretch held in cap
tiyity might walk forth into Gods
sunshine free man. Reading such a
declaration forces one to the conclu-
sion that human deprsvity is
total, absolute, in New York,
or else Governor Cornell has steeled
his heart to every impulse of mercy,
closed his ears TO every cry of des-
pair and declined to inquire if there
were any cases meriting the exercise
of executive clemency. If the first
theory be adopted, by way of explana-
ton, then the fact is not credltable to
the empire state of the union, where
society should ere this, by reason OF
| its numerous appliances, have sue
ceeded i'll lessening the ratio of crime
and ong-doing. On the other
hand. if the entire responsibility Is
placed upon the Governor, be must
be q man singularly indifferent to
considerations that are etfectual with
other men. We fancy, with due re.
spect to the Governor of New York
that he has not exercised his high pc.
rogatives with the wise beneficenc6
possible. Such rigid, un
bending policy, were it tC
+ become general, would not result
. in any credit to humanity or benefit
10 society. It's effects would be III
timately baneful Ill more ways thai
, one. There will always be appeals
and MANY OF them unworthy, fol-
executive ciemency, but with proper
care and caution the pardOning power
, need not err. A general denial OF
the part of Governors to show elem
, ency to criminals would soon produce
positive results in the administrator
OF justice. judges and juries woulC
2 take leuiemt views of crime, because
. feeling that theirs would be the tina
t verdict beyond which the accuscc
could find no sacred tribunal o
mercy. Juries, under these cir
cumstances, might even declin,
to convict, and where conyic-
ton might be properly demanded, fol
no body OF men desires to occupy d
position beyond which mercy is dead
and their ycI Diet 3 finality. Our ten
der-bearted old Governor, errlng, il
erring at all, on the side of mercy is
to be preferred to the cold-blOoded
specimen of executive power in New
York, who could not find, out of least
five thousand criminals, few OF
whom mounted the scatfold, not one
worthy of even the slightest display OF
forgiving mercy.
