NEW ORLEANS. J
Feb. q, 1886. {

I consider it my duty as a member of
the. Pardoning Board to yield my judg-
mcnt in any given case to what I consider
to he an overwhelming public sentiment.
Courts should not pay the slightest heed
to public sentiment; but the Pardoning
Board was created for the very purpose,
as | think, of being governed in great
measure by public sentiment and of con-
sidering facts that could be properly adj
missible as evidence in courtr of Justice
In the case OF Pat Ford and John Muir
ply, sentenced to be hung for the murder
Of Cap Murphy, the numerous petitions
and letters submitted to the Board, and
the conversations l have had with citi-
zens of the highest standing, respect and
ability, from various parts of the State,
have convnted me that public sentiment
is decidedly in favor of the communication
of the death scnsence to imprisonment for
life at hard labor.
Various causes, no doubt, succeeded in
bringing over public sentiment in favor of
Communication. Several of the most emf
nent lawyers in the State believe that the
was not fair and impartial < Others think
that the jury was overawed by mob that
surrounded the COnrt House during the
trial and that threatened violence to the
jury and the accused in case of a mistrial.
A great many of the most reputable citi-
zens in the State find fault with the inc
quality of the verdict, under which the
chief conspirator andstwo of lthe Cocoon
spirators, all three the most intelligent OF
the five engaged in the conspiracy, are
simply convicted of manslaughter, when
the two most ignorant of the five are I'M
der sentence to hang. These and other
considerations of the like nature have GER
tainly created strong, healthy public
sentiment in favor of the two condemned
am now convinced that the hanging
of the two condemned, in the face of this
public sentiment, would send thrill OF
horror throughout the commonwealth and
would fail of the only defensible object fol
which capital punishment was establish
ed, viz: that it should act as deterrent
from crime. Yielding my original views
in this ease to what am satisfied is the
honest wish and desire of large majority
of our best citizens, l have come to the
conclusion, with no little degree of reluc.
lance, that the communication prayed fol
should be granted. If err in this con
clusiOn l shall ever be consoled by the
thought that my error was on the side Of
mercy. CLAY kNoBLOCH,
Lieut.. Governor.

The emblem of our State-a pei

SCENTS the principle of nurture as the
duty and function Of government. To
carry out this principle the State finds
it legitimate and wise to perform var
ious services for the common good
among these the most important is to
provide means for general education.
No one will deny the paramount right
of the State in this matter, and it fol-
lows from the vast consequence to the
State of general intelligence, that it
acts unwisely to intrust to others the
service of public instruction. A wise
mother will not delegate her authority
to another. She will enforce dicipline

doning Board at their recent session in
New Orleans, at which time the con-
demned men, Ford and Murphy, were
refused Communication of their SEN
tence. 1t so we'll voices our senti-
ments on this subject, that we publish
it, and ask our readers to give it that
most careful perusal which it surely
deserves
Anybody who has read this subject
in the newspapers, and has read the
articles favoring the hanging of these
men, must have observed that the lead
ing animus in these articles was not
on account of desire that Justice
should be rendered these men, but that
the animus running all through them
is from political hostility to the State
administration and the city admins
tration. If these administrations had
been in consonance with the political
views of the gentleman who has writ
ten these articles, we would have had
very different state of things. That
is the true animus of these articles and
that fact should have serious conside-
ration from the gentlemen who are
members of this board. The article
which appeared in yesterdays Plea
ytne, the writer of which conceals his
name, and adopts that of one of the
most distinguished men who has fig
ured in history-can any one read it
and not perceive that the whole ami
mus of the article is opposed to the
State and to Gov. McEnery? Have
they not publicly charged that the
Governor was engaged in obtaining
signatures to these petitions, when it
is we'll known that nobody in any way
connected with the city or State Adj
ministration has been connected with
