The Governors Pardoninq Power.

Article six'y-six Of the Constitution OF
/ 1879 pro, idcs that "The Governor shall
have power to grant reprir,c- for all often
ses against the State, and, except in cases
of Impeachment or treason, shall, upon tho
recommendation in writing of the Lieu
tenant Governor, Attorney General and
presiding Judge of the court before which
conviction was had, or Of any two Of them,
sentences aud remit fines and fnrfriturcr

judges many improper pardons might I've
prevented. We regard it ~ an excellent
provision ofthe law that provides that the
power of partOning shall rest some here,
and there is no one better capable of rxrr-
cising this benign provision Of onr laws
than tr chrif executive, and If it is v isc-
ly and judicially applied it will result in
good. Pardon-, however, should only b,
granted n rare instances and for grave and
sufficient REASONS. Persons axe sometimes

bur such instances dre no, frequent The
pardUuing power called into rcqul>itiuu in
other eases tnau these " h tend tn defeat
the "hjr.t OF the Law. The article OF tn.
clear and free from ambiguity, but the
Governor Of onr state places upon il a
peculiar Interpretation. The Governor
thinks that when an applicati"n for par
don is recommended by the Lieutenant Gov
cruor, Attorney General and the presiding
Judgr. the matter i. not longer within his
discretion but that il il his official duty to
grant the pardon. Of course IT would bc
