He oe.ied to provide for either her or his children, end tor- tarsd poor Mrs. Chamberlain's life nearly out of her by "tee table talk" about his Texts gal. She at last gave Sam the "goose,” and then demanded of him a support for the children. This Sam couldn’t see, and she told him she would have his eyes worked upon by the law, and to this point she came at last. She wantod a divorce and her dowry. Mrs. Sammy was fat—adipose, With a {Tennyeon’a) tip-tilted nose; A*id she came into court With a sort of cavort, And a countenance red as a rose. The Attorney General insisted or. the argumeut that Ibis pardon was invalid for iwo reasons— A pardon before conviction is void.” a^IZ the Executive could exercise the pardoning power before conviction, this pardon ia void, b< This doctrine is recognized by our Supreme Court in Grubb et. al. vs. Bullock 44, Georgia 379. Sclra Fa cias Fas proceeding against the »«cities of Hancock. They plead a pardon in disohsiN* of the bond, and ac cording to the head note the recital of foots In the pardon showed that it was not applied for by the ac cused, who was out of the State, and the plea failed to show its delivery to him, and acceptance by him.*' Held ‘‘assuming that under the Constitution of 1868 the Governor may exercise the pardoning povrer, before conviction, yet pardons before eonwic- tim am baaed upon the confession of the imputed guilt of the accused and before each pardon takes ef fect it must be accepted by the accused,” etc, Si the opinion Chief Justice Lochrane has thia sentence : " For the theory of pardon is preceded by confession of the imputed guilt, be tried if he does mot Want to. He No power can compel him to go through a trial at all if he does not desire to plead not guilty, and the peti tion for pardon, or acceptance of it. is a confession of the imputed offense the power granted ia accepted upon the principle of its confession.” The Governor has power to grant pardon for offenses against the State. When there is no offense against the State, there is no offender—no guilt—nothing to be forgiven. In a case of gnilt he may pardon and he ia responsible for an abuse of the power: In a case of in. nocence, he cannot pardon—it is beyond the limit Of his power and an attempt by the use of an act called a pardon to protect an innocent man from a threatened improper conviction, is a nullity. What Is written above has no reference to case* in which, after conviction the innocence of the accused made to appear. This pardon and the accompanying papers suggest another view of the case which is of the utmost im portance. In substance, the statement is made to the Governor, that an accused person, who has not been tried, has already been condemned by the jurors who are to try him, and that he is to be unjustly offered victim on the demand of a dominant political party. The Governor adopts the statement as truth, and to protect the accused from an improper convic tion, pardons him. It may be true that there were many persons who hsd prejudices against the defendant, and they may have clamored for his conviction, but he, on his trial as in no danger from them. They could not go upon the jury. The jarorB must swear that he has no bias or prejudice on his mind for or against the accused, and that his mind is perfectly impartial between the State and the accused. Wheu we remember the searching and thorough examina tion which the j~ror must undergo before, by our law, he can be pronounced qualified to. try the case, the representations made to the Governor, and ou which he granted this pardon, amount to this: That citizens would swear falsely to get upon the jury, and would then corruptly find an innocent man guilty. Who can doubt, in the absence of proof, that such a charge is untrue ? Men are presumed to be innocent. Who can doubt that the Governor was deceived—misinformed about this matter ? If he was, the pardon is void. " It is a general ruie that wherever it may reasona bly b© presumed the King is deceived, the pardon is void. Therefore, any suppression of truth, or sug gestion of falsehood, in a charter of pardon, will vi tiate the whole, for the King was misinformed.’’—4 Stephens’ Commentaries, 498. In Dominick’s case, 44 Ga.,365, it ia said: ‘‘When a pardon is pleaded, and i t appears from the pardon and record that the Governor was misinformed, the pardon was held void.” When the Executive assumes that a co-ordi nate department of the government stands ready, de liberately, to prostitute its functions to accomplish an unhallowed end, may not the courts " reasonably pro. sume"—is it not essential to the preservation of gov ernment that they should " reasonably presume that the Executive is misinformed, deceived?” Let formal judgments be entered for the State in each case. Jnc. L. Hopkins, Judge Superior Courts, Atlanta Circuit. This decision was delivered to the counsel and filed in the Clerk’s office yesterday. Whether Blodgett’s sureties will take the case to the Supreme Court for a review remaius to be seen.

The King and the President may grant the pardon either before or after convic tion, but whenever it is done it is an act by which a guilty man is saved through grace from the legal con sequences of his crime—the legal guilt of an offense against the law ia re-united. It would seem from the very nature of the act that there must be a case of guilt. If before conviction, it may be rendered certain, aa against the accused, by bis confession of guilt; if after conviction, the record of his trial establishes it.

Tbe present is an event well calculated to excite thought anil anxious reflection. An epoch in life ia reached; a scene in the drama closes, and tbe bright and Bunny hours of childhood forever take their flight. The relations you have sustained to your teachers and associates, however pleasant, are now severed. No more will you meet to engage with them again in fee pursuit of knowledge. No more will you assemble daily to delve in tha mysteries of science, to roam fee Helds of literature, or to coll and enjoy the beauHes of a-t. Other scenes will engage, other cir cles invito. You linger a moment; in a few hours your class, like tbe roses of summer, will be scattered and gone. The mention you have made of your feeliugs in dis solving these relations and the sentiments of regard you have expressed for your te&chers, we appreciate. These expressions effect our hearts, and most cordial ly do we reciprocate your seutimeuta of friendship and regard. Wo have learned, young ladies, to esteem you. Constant watchcare over you gave access to your social convivialities and sympathy for your men tal efforts, have awakened an interest in your behalf that has "grown with your growth and strengthened with yiur strength,” and as we come now to bid you adieu, it is wife feelings of affection and fond regard. Our best wishes shall attend you as you go to the en gagements of life. If prosperity attend you, none more ready will rejoice at your success. If adversity befall, be assured you still shall have our sympathy and esteem. And now, young ladies, permit me to embrace this occasion to urge you to an appreciation of your high and important mitaion. Wcman ia nojinsiguificant actor in the scenes of life. Her influence pervades all the ramifieatioua of socie ty. There is not a borne where the magic power cf her presence is not felt. There is not a mortal that reads the green earth, whose character has not felt tbe touch of her plastic hand. Helpless infancy, firm manhood and trembling age, all alike are open to the approaches of h> r kindness drink with greediuess fee accents of her Ups and cherish with fondness fee mem ory of her virfftes.

Coming here iu 1847 from Tennessee a poor boy, he commenced life as a clerk at a small salary. The people of that day looked upon him as a boy of resistless energy. He is uow among the wealthiest of our citizens.

Whether thia is true or not, tbe facility with which he named each variety aa be came to it, made ns aak ourselves fee question : "Vow. ia not Colonel Wallace juet atebfsff up some of these ntmes, as ne supposes we dea't know whether they are correct or not 1” hut then we remembered that we had Mr. Aker* with ns, who is all right oa trees aod anxiously looking out for *ew varieties, and If Colonel Wallace had mentioned names net te the catalogue, Mr. Akers would have loaded ua down with switches from which to get buds. Wo thought the peach display magnificent, but what shall we eay about the pears. When tbe gate opened to the pear orchard, we ell, with one accord, exclaimed "glorious,” "oh, how beautiful. ' Of these there were fotty one varieties, all of which appeared very floe. The varieties extend over a ripening period ot six mttmikoc and the peaches lour mouths.

But when a pardon ia granted on tbe voluntary confession of on* who bat not baan in dicted, the confession should be in writing and fee pardon founded on the specific offense confessed. Tbe name of Chief Justice Taney will be revived as long as judicial integrity and constitutional liberty are prized among men.

Sbe’i chronic case—an old case, which requires the most scientific treatment to cure. She was a waiter at » boarding house on Whitehall street, and when ths fruit man came along the other day, she invested a nickle in blackberries, and pot them aside for her sweetheart, whom she expected to call in the course of the evening. At dinner the landlady, not haviDg quite berries enough of her own to "fill out" for fee board ers, she borrowed Em.’s stock, with a pro mise to return them next day. When next day came Emma asked for what was "justly hern," and was refused by tbe lady. Upon this fact coming to light she went off on a high horse and enrsed out the whole concern. A policeman came along by chance (the uaosl way) and Emma was held to bail. The Court fumbled round some time before he could get hold of the right string, aud when he did he gently tightened it, until Emma cried "boldia your horses,” and shelled out five dollars by way Of alleviating tbe pangs of outraged decency.

She is as faithless to her loviers as she is constant to her bottle, and fre quent in her Pilgrimages to the Recorder’s Court. She had only been out of the lock-up two days, and been teieaaed for fee forty-third time from the chsin-gaog, before she flew to the embrace* of her quart tickler and hung upon ita lips.

By ten o’clock the Chapel Hall was densely crowded almost entirely with ladies. After a grand overture by Prof. Seales and class, a beautiful and appropriate prayer was offered by Rev. M.

Sub ject—"The wealth of the Ocean lies fathoms below the surface that sparkles above." Mias Palmer, was tho first of the cla*s of six young ladies who graiuated, and as she was intro duced to fee audience, she arose and after a moat queenly and royal bow, romnenc. d her reading in a clear, distinct and silvery voice, which penetrated every part of the hall. Miss Palmer was richly bat neatly attired in white, trimmed wife pink, and a magnificent head of hair, all added to her tall, lithe figure and flashing eye, rendered her tho subject of universal praise. Miss Pslmsr was followed by Miss Tom Subject—"Music;’’which she bandied in a musical and poetical style. Miss Harrell, although a little "dashed” at first, gradually, as she warmed wife her subject | assumed her wonted composure, and Anithed her piece amid rounds of applause. Then our particular favorite, little Miss Hatchett, by universal request, came upon the stage and sang in her inimitable way several of the highly popular airs which she had snug on the previous evening at the concert. UlOl I V Jf MISS 8. B. MAULL then read "The Age in which we Live." Miss Maull had chosen s subject prolific of ideas, aad she evi dently had studied her part well. Her natural tone of voice, her confident and intelligent look, and fee subject matter of which she treated, gained for her, at its conclusion, loud exhibitions of approval in tbe way of flowers and smiles. MISS JIT LI A DAVIDSON had chosen for her essay the subject of "Masks.” Miss Davidson portrayed hnmsn nature ia its various phases in sn artistic and clever way. Her style of reading was perfectly natural, end her sassy was warmly applauded by the aadisnee. Her command ing appearance and stylish dress attracted the gaze of the most indifferent Miss ELLA LOVE LACS read "It Might Have Been” in a clear and forcible manner.

Her sub ject embodied a world of thought and a llfstime of re flection for those who, in the calmer moments of life, permit conscience to assert her sway. The simple word "gone," embodies a text from which ages can draw lessons of wisdom.

About one thousand people were present at the Calis- thenic exercises by the s.udents jesterday evening.

On account of the indisposition of His Excellency Governor Smith, and his consequent iasUlity to be present, there Mss no exercise of any description dur ing the day, except the work of preparation for the grand alumhean festival, which was to come off at 8 o’clock p. m. Efficient com mittees had been appointed to make tbe necessary ar rangements, and at an early hour in th* morn ing the work waa vigorously begun of pre paring for the supplement of the tables, which were placed in two spacious rooms, with every oonceivable delicacy. The contributions by the ladies were large and varied, and at the appointed hour the Alumni, patrons and friends of the institution, were invited into and made ready for a "feast of good thiDgs." Such a brilliant entertainment, we apprehend, never before occurred lu Middle Georgia. Everybody looked aa ii they *‘thought it was good to be there,” and it was. Thia concluded tbe commencement exercises which have been so charmingly progressing since last Friday. It has been an occasion long to be happily remembered by all who were so fortunate as to be present lull ^tendance ou ’change yesterday There morning. Mr. Jolm Stephens, of Stephens A Flynn, presided. Mr. J. A. Stewart, of Stewart, Austin A Co., exhib ited samples of hia FFF, FF, family and a new btand called "extra,” all made from new wheat. No changes in quotations. Mr. Roberts, of Augusta, dropped iu. aud was business. The brimming energy of his mind, or his warmly welcomed by the board. force of character, speaks out, in every lin<4meut of his face. An intelligent stranger once asked this reporter "who is that large, bright-eyed man ?” point ing to a large group of large men at the Court House. There was no difficulty in at once singling out Col. Wallace as fee man who had attracted his attention. Tbe stirring, pushing, resistless energy of his miud indeed finds full expression in his bright, firm, danc ing black eye. The cells upon his attention daily are so great that a gentleman a few days ago, awaiting audience, re marked that he "had as lie! call upon the Governor ’* Taking up the science of pomology as a pastime, he has developed an orchard in the heart of this city, in the rear of his residence, that ia quite a marvel im itself.

The stranger visit ing our city of remarkable enterprise has missed much if he fai's to visit the house of the President of the Pomological Society. But he appeared in a Lew role last evening, ar a speaker, and thin reporter was particularly anxious to note how his genius would display itself there. His theme was *• Peaches." Both as an instance of how the energy of his mind infuses itself into everything he touches and as an illustration of how unfettered in- - tellect will seek, without the aid of schools, the tersest and most vigorous forms of expression, wc clo«s this ■ report with an extract from the eonclueion of‘ hia speech. 8*:dhe: "The peach is good In the pot, on ths tree, in the stomach, in the cream and sugar, ripe, or dry—always ready, good without seasoning, good with it, good in the morning, good before breakfast and after it, good at 9 o’clock, 12,1, 3, 4. 6 and 9—wil 1 make a pleasant home, happy wife and children, smil ing daddies; plenty of friends in peach time.

It is the epigram matic style that is fee weapon of genius, and that made the fame of Robert Toombs.
