The Constitution and laws of the State require the Governor to report to the Legislatire afluernbly, each case of re prieve, commutation and pardon granted by him, and the reasons for granting the same. Also the names of all persons in whose favor the remissions of fines and forfeiture shall have been made, and the several amounts remitted. In obedience to that requirement, ' I sulilnit at this time, my report upon that subject. The nuaiber of commutations, as you will ob serve front the reporj, is large, probably much larger than has ever been granted in this State during the same length of tme. There are two reasons for this, th e one is, that there has been a greater number of convicts in the penitentiary during the time referred to than at any prior period of like duration. The other is, that in! nearly all cass where convicts have been discharged before the expira tion of their term of sentence, a commu tation has been granted, while formerly a practice prevailed of remitting a por tion of the sentence, or, as it was termed, allowing extra time in favor of a party on account of some extra service, and discharging him without granting any commutation or pardon, but the same as if he had served the full term subject to the remission for merits as provided by statute, this resulted in allowing more emlit for merits than the statute author : i.!'l. 1 'nave no desire to criticise the ' ructice referred to, of allowing extra time to convicts for some extra labor or meritorious services, beyond tint which they li ay entitle themselves to under the rule, laid down in the statute. I have adopted the practice myself, jut have not authorized the discharge of the convict in such cases, without a formal commuta tion or pardon, if J believed him entitled to a pardon.. You will notice in a great majority of 'the cases of commutation, the convicts have served nearly all the time specified in their sentence. The object of granting the commutation in such cases, haa been to render the dis- Special Dip for Scab, , , ,, , Prtee, $2..) a gallon. j frequently j tieeu commented upon by Reliable at any of the year, especially j parties, with a much apparent serious- ao hi the Full and Winter. j itessan if tLre had beeu an important Pat up iu one ami 6ve galkm cans irith all exercise of th pardoning power. iliasaiimia I uiw.Bmsa vy. iimi. i r. m ia. . ...

Mark. i lit The fiMiiK-rii of tlie Constitution very wisely and properly vested in the Gover nor th". pardoning power. No other braiu'h t' flie ( "loveriiment could have ex.-rt:is(t it :is well.. Hie Judiciary could not, as it no.ccsKai'ilv' would be con- trolled iu its action by. general rules, both iu tin- ai'iuisvion of testimony and iu it decisions, :x;ul a Legislative assem bly would evidently be a very ui.lit body to exercise such a prerogative. All Gov ernmental institutions are but human inventions, and at their best are very imperfect, however much they may ben efit mankind. Depriving a human being of life or liberty as a penalty for the transgression of law, is an assumption on the part of a common'realth, of high au thority, and it can only be justified upon the ground that the safety of tlie public demands it. The execution of the offend er, or his continued detentiou secures an immunity from-his furtlier depreda tions, his reformation would have tite same effect, though that is not likely to be effected except through the influence of punishment. Bat the roast important aim, in the infliction of puiikhment, k to afford a f-alutarv example to those I who are not restrained by moral senti ments or through moral influences. To detrmine, then, wliat is condii.ni punish ment in a particular case, the security of the public from the acts of the articular offender and the beneficial influence it will have upon those who are prone to evil, must be considered. Tlie Legila ture in prescribing the vindicatory jart of a penal act, lias in view a general class ' of offenders only, and a wide latitude is usually given to the courts in adminis tering it, though som of our penal stat utes are very much:' restricted, among which may be included the provision of the criminal code which makes it a felon v to steal an article in a building, without regard to the value of the article or the kind or condition of the building. An- OFFICE 'At Drug Store, C..V.V, j other is tlie provision which makes it a vine species, hog or sheep, punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary without any alternative, and without' regard to the value of the animal. The judge who pronounces the sen tence of the law upon offenders, has a better opportunity to know what amount of punishment should be inflicted, as he has heard the testimony in their case, and been able to observe the surround ings. But the evidence adduced is ad mitted under rules that are general, and often arbitrary, besides he may be 'im pulsive and in some cases been uncon- 'seiously prejudiced, and he certainly does. not know the effect the punishment he imposes will have upon the culprit, or its influence upon the public. Nor can he know the many little circumstances surrounding the transaction which have influenced a perpetration of the offence, and over which the offender had no con trol. Whenever it can be ascertained that punishment has fulfilled the purpose for which it was intended, or has accom plished all it is capable of accomplishing in a particular case, its continuance, be comes vindictive. By a close inspection of the conduct of convicts, and an inquiry into their history, many facts may be elicited which, iu some cases, tend to ex tenunate their transgressions. Many of them, however, naturally belong iu a prison, are vicious and unfit to be at large, while many others owe their con dition more to misfortune than to de pravity. It has been my policy thus far, to hold them to a rigid discipline w hilt; in prison, and to release them as .soon as cousistant with public safety and justice. ! I havfs doubtless made mistake in the exercise of the. pardoning power, but in every case I have exercised it consci entiously and with a view to benefit the prisoner and the State. And in nearly all of the cases, so far as I have been able to learn, those who have lieen, re leased, have since conducted 'themselves prpperly. The duty which the authority imposes is not a pleasant one. It would be much more agreeable to a Governor to shirk its responsibility entirely by re fusing to interfere in any case, but it would be very unjust to adopt any such course. The law requires also that when the Governor grants a reprieve, commutation or pardon, or remits a fine or forfeiture, he must within ten days thereafter, file all the papers presented to him in rela- tiori thereto, in the office of the Secretary, of State, by whom they must be kept, as public records, open to public inspection. You will find the papers relating to the cases reported on file in accordance with the law and subject to your examination. THE lT. S. LAND LAWS. What the Settler Is Beqalred tedsta Araalre (ioverautrat Laad. THE HOMESTEAD ACT. The applicant must be a citizen of the United States, or have taken out his first papers declaring his intention to be come a citizen He. must be 21 years old, or the head of a family. He may enter insideor outside of railroad limits 160 acres, or any subdivision thereof. On filing the claim the Land Office fee is $22 on the 160, if the land is within railroad limits, or, $16 if it is outside. The applicant is required to establish his residence on the land within six months from day of filing. He can settle on the land three months, if it be "unoffered" land and thirty days if it be "offered' land, before filing his claim, and have his five year's residence counted from the day of settlement. If he has settled on unsurveyed land he must make his filing within 3 months from the filing of the township plot in the land office. The law says this residence must be a con tinued one for five years, but this does not prevent temporary absence for labor, even of several months, or for visits. Umvit, Ket 38th 1880. liMrt HtlAt:K.
