I I,e motion to dismiss this cause was
meneed by Mr. Larocque in support
t': roof.
-•-s \he President’s pardon remit sen-
- of forfeiture of rebel property and
r • ste the rebel in all his rights there-
This was a motion of Leroy M.
v, defendant in error and appellee,
-:uiss the writ of error and appeal of
United States, on the ground that the
- 1. ut's pardon and the acceptance

oc was pronounced in the District

'lie, if at all, that forfeiture was incur
red.
i'be cause originated in an information
1 in the District Court of the United
»-- for the Southern District of New
- by the District Attorney thereof,
Charles, Gould, named as inform-
„ :der the acts of Congress of 1861
i 1862, commonly known as the con-
.... ‘ii acte; for the confiscation and
lire of seventeen hundred and fif-
\ shares of tl*e capital stock of the
v .; Western Railroad Compay of 1859,
upwards of 850,000 duo on cou-
r bonds of tho same corporation,
property of the defendant, on the
• k round alleged in the informa-
. first, of alleged use of property by
‘V: icy in aid of the rebellion, under
.0(1861; and second, of alleged
able kCts of Mr. Wiley under the
. . and answer which had been
• 1 by Mr. Wiley, objecting es-
to the jurisdiction, and also
p- nu issue to the facts alleged in

Court, on the ground that Mr.

v j reclamation of the President

pr.ble of appearing, claiming or

urv was a citizen of Alabama, al-

!.v\t certificates to the Clerk of the
: lufrofor, and adjudging a sale of
ok and distribution of the pro-
U after certain deductions, in equal
to the United States, and to Chas.
...1. the informer.
-'rein this sentence Wiley took both a
v>f error and appeal (for the greater
. 'ii i to the Circuit Court. He as-
.1 errors under his writ, and the
• .t Attorney Joined in error. The
.1.1 eompanV also took an appeal,
>'• a writ of error. The cause was
::rcned before Mr. Justice Nelson,
; ' lament rendered, after argument,
■v.ng the judgment and sentence of
■nit Court, on the double ground,
► «...uvl iu the opinion, of want'of ju-
; ion, for the reason that the proper-
• ug stock of an Elinois corporation,
..- :c-si>able of being found, seized, ta-
. v.r brought within the' Southern Dis-
. New York ; and of error in stri-
out the claim and answer of Mr.

i he pr< ‘i*erty from the alleged seizure of
the Marshal.
From this judgment of reversal a writ
ror and appeal were taken on behalf
• he United States fo this court, on the

n Mu. Wiley, and caused to be deliv-
-1 him a full pardon, which Mr. Wi-
■ pt .1. and took the prescribed am

Chief Justice Marshall in U. S. vs.
Wilson; 7 Peters, 160; 10 Cohd. 483.
Mr. Justice Wayne delivering the
opinion of Court, en parte Wells, 18
Howard, 310. '
HI. “The language used in the Consti
tution, conferring
prieves and pa
!•
the power to grant Te
ona, must be construed
with reference to its meaning at the time
of its adoption. At the tijne of our sepa
ration from Great Britain, that power
had been exercised by tho King as the
Chief Executive. Prior to the Revolu
tion, the colonies being in effect under
the laws of England, were accustomed to
the exercise of it in the various forms,
as they may be found in the English law
books. They were, of course, to be ap
plied as occasions occurred, and they
constituted a part of the jurisprudence of
Anglo-America. At the time of the
adoption of. the Constitution, American
statesmen were conversant with the laws
of England, and familiar with the pre
rogatives exercised by the Crown. Hence
when the words ‘ grant pardons ’ were
used in the Constitution, they conveyed
to the mind the authority exercised by
the English Crown or by its representa
tives in the Colonies. At that time, both
Englishmen and Americans attached the
same meaning to the word pardon. In
the Convention which formed the Con
stitution, no effort was made to define or
change its meaning, although it was
limited in cases of impeachment.—Ibid.
IV. “We must then give the word the
same meaning as prevailed here and in
England at the time it found a place in
the Constitution. This is in conformity
with the principle laid down by this
Court in Cathcart vs. Robinson, 5 Peters,
264, 280; and in Howell’s case, 8 Watts &
Sargent, 197, Attorney General’s Brief. ”
—Ibid.
V. ‘‘A pardon is said by Lord Coke to
be a writ of mercy, whereby the King,
either before attainder, sentence, or con
viction, or after, forgiveth any crime,
offence, punishment, execution, right,
title, debt, or duty, temporal or ecclesias
tical.” 3—Just. 223.
VI. “In the first (common parlance) it
is forgiveness, release, remission. For
giveness for an offence, whether it be one
for which the person committing it is li
able in law or otherwise. Release from
pecuniary obligation, as where it is said:
I pardon you your debt. Or it is the re
mission of a penalty, to which one may
have subjected himself by non-perform
ance of an undertaking or contract, or
when a statutory penalty in money has
been incurred, and it is remitted by a
public functionary having power to remit
it.
“In the law it has different meanings,
which were as well understood when the
Constitution was made as any other legal
word in the Constitution now is. ” Ex
parte Wells, 17 How. 309, 310.
VIL That the pardon of an offence re
mitted and discharged also, at common
law, all penalties and forfeitures incurred
by reason of it, in which others than the
King had not private vested rights. (A
great number of cases cited.) In Lock
vs. Ethrington, Liderfin’s R. 265, it is
said to have been resolved, on conference
between the Barons of the Exchequer
and other judges, that the word “par
don” includes in itself the word “re
lease,” for all which is not exoepted, is,
by the general words, pardoned and re
mitted.” (See, also, act of February 20,
1863, 12 U. S. Stat., 656.)
VIII. It follows that the President, by
a pardon, has power not only to absolve
from the corporeal punishment prescribed
by law for an offence, but to remit, fore
go and discharge, also, the forfeitures of
properties and penalties consequent upon
its commission.
IX. That the pardon granted in this
case was intended to have that force and
effect as is evident from the language
used in it. It recites that the recipient
has ‘ ‘made himself liable to heavy pains
and penalties.’ It grants him a full par
don and amnesty for all offences by him
committed arising from participation,
direct or implied, in the rebellion. ” It
is conditioned that “he first pay all costs
which have accrued in any proceedings
hitherto instituted against his person or
property.”
X. This latter condition on the face of
the pardon is only declaratory of the well-
established rule at common law in all
cases of pardon, even without such ex
press reservation.
Second. It is no answer to the motion
to dismiss the present writ of errpr and
appeal on the ground of the pardon that
Mr. Charles Gould, the informer named,
and to whom half of the proceeds of the
property were adjudged to be distributed
by the sentence of the court, has a vested
right in that moiety which cannot be di
vested by the pardon.
I. As was well pointed out by Mr.
Justice Nelson, in delivering the opinion
in the Circuit Court, the sentence of the
District Court was manifestly erroneous
and unnuthorized in that respect, as it
proceeded upon the alleged personal
offences of the owner against the act of
1862, which gives no part of the proceeds
to the informer, and not upon any use
of the property in aid of the rebellion,
under the act of 1861, in which case
alone the informer is entitled to share.
This is apparent from the evi4ence on
the reoord on which the sentence of con
damnation is based, although it is wholly
silent as to its own moving cause. As to
this, however, it is conceded that the ifa
former would be entitled to be heard
and that the question whether the sen
tence below was correct or erroneous,
in this respect, could not be heard upon
motion. Its correctness must be as
sumed.
IL There is undoubted authority for
the proposition that the crown of Eng
land cannot, by pardon of an offence
against a penal statue whereby a part of
tho penalty is given to the informer, re
mit that part after information brought,
on the ground that thereby the informer
has acquired a private property in his
part of the penalty.
TTT. Yet even there, in Dr. Groenvelt’s
case, convicted of mal-practice by the
Censors of the College of Physicians,
and committed for a fine payable wholly
to the college, and brought before the
King’s Bench on habeas corpus^ it tyaa
held by Lord Chief Justice Holt and bis
associates “thlf although the fine belongs
to * subject by the King’s granCyct the
King, by pardon of the offence before the
fine is set, may in like manner pardon
the fine; and as to the obiection that by
this means the King may make his own
grant ineffectual, the Court has assumed
and resolved that the King, neither by
grant nor otherwise, can pass his power
or extinguish that power which he hath
to pardon offences. For (per Holt, C. J.)
it is a personal trust and prerogative in
him, for a fountain of grace and bounty
to his subjects, as he observes them de
serving or useful to the public; and (per
Rokely, J.) as he eannot but have the
administration of public revenge, so he
cannot but have a power to remit it by
his pardons when he judges it proper.
Of necessity, then, when the offence is
pardoned the fine is destroyed, to whom
soever it may belong, because the fine is
the penalty of the offence; and as there is
no offence when the crime is pardoned,
so there cannot be any penalty imposed
for the offence,” (I Lord Raymond, 214.)
IV. In the case of the United States
vs. Morris, 10 Wheaton, 246, it was ad
judged by his Court after the most careful
and elaborate consideration, that the pow
er of remitting forfeitures under the re
venue laws, vested in the Secretary of the
Treasury under the act of March 3, 1797,
(1 United States Statutes at Large, 506,)
might be exeroised by remitting the
moiety given to the qffieers of the cus
toms by the acts of Congress, as well as
that belonging to the United States, even
after condemnation, and at any time be
fore the proceeds were actually iu the
hands of the collector ready for distribu
tion It is put in the opinions of both
Justices Thompson and Johnson upon
the broad grounds that penal laws giving
parts of penalties or forfeitures to the in
former or prosecutor are made for the
benefit of the public and not of individu
als, and are subject to the exercise of the
pardoning power in the same manner as
though none hut the public had any in
terest. The principle there decided is
amply broad to cover this case, The re
maining subdivisions of this point were
directed to show that none of the recent
acts of Congress on the subject under
consideration had changed the rule laid
down in the cases cited. And even though
there was any donbt in that respect, still,
in this particular case, by the judgment
of reversal in the Circuit Court, the in
formation, and sentence of forfeiture
founded thereon, were swept out of ex
istence, and became as though they had
never been. There was, therefore, in this
case, no information pending when the
pardon was granted; and, in that case,
all the authorities agree that the whole of
the forfeiture, whether as to that which
would go to the Government, or as to
that which would go the informer, may
be remitted.
Third. The sentence of condemnation
having been reversed in the Circuit Court
for errors contained in it, and par
ticularly for want of jurisdiction in
the court which pronounced it, the terms
of the pardon do not require the pay
ment of any costs of that proceeding,
which failed, not through the pardon,
but by. its own ilegallity and errors, nor
of the proceedings in the Circuit Court
which were rendered necessary to redress
and correct them.
The notice of motion submits, however,
to the Court the terms as to costs, on
which effect is to be given to the pardon
by the dismissal of the cause.
Fourth. The only remedy authorized
by law in his ease for the review of the
judgment of the Circuit Court is a writ
of error, and not an appeal.
This point was devoted to the con
sideration of the technical point named.
Fifth. The judgment reversed having
been on its face in favor of the United
States as entitled to one half the proceeds
of the forfeiture, and of the informer as
entitled to the other half, the latter
should have joined the United States in
this writ of error to this Court The
proceeding in this Court is no longer as
upon an information where the District
Attorney represents both the United
States and the informer; and the writ of
error should he quashed on account of
his non-joinder.
This proposition was argued at length.
Sixth. If the y^t qf error or the appeal
should not Us dismfsedon any of the fore
going grounds, then the Attorney General
should be required to elect between the
prosecution of either of them which may
be retained, and the prosecution of the
information filed in the District Court for
the Southern District of Illinois, to en
force the same forfeiture for the same
cause, and to file his selection in writing
in the office of the clerk of this Court,
within a time to be fixed by the order,
and to cause the proceedings which he
njay not elect to continue to be dismissed;
and in default of so doing, the proceed*
ings pending in this Court should be dis-
tnraSed. . ^... . .
This point was supported Uy citations
showing'the Authority of the Attorney
General in such cases, and t>y the recita
tion of orders of the President, charging
that-officer with the duty of conducting
all proceedings to.be had tinder the acts
forming the basis of the information in
this case.
.The Attorney General^ points were
briefly put:
Jhrst, Whether or no the pardon can
be pleaded in this Court need not now be
discussed; adn$itting that the pardon can
be pleaded in this Court,.’ it neeed not
w be discussed, whether it affects the
es in the record. These are qtiestions
Ch can only be' properly considered
and disposed of when the cause comes on
to be heard.^md ought not to be decided
exopt upon a hearing of the whole case
Second. The informer need not be uni-,
ted in this appeal. He has no such au
thority or control over the proceedings
at any -siagens that he can, without the
consent of the United States, affect the
interests of the: defendant in error. The
rights of the informer can only be asser
ted in the name knd with the assent of
the United States. The judgment, as re
quired by the statute, forfeits the pro
perty to theUstted States; and by » dis
tinct order* the proceeds are dis
tributed' betwlt i the informer arid tffe
United; States. The argqmapt is not a
joint one in favor of- the United States
f«d the ialorn»«f, As the proo^edifl* from
,1/vL tli-iu ti'i-' JU GW* *•
in the name of the United States;
«s the United States ,had sole au
thority and control over the pro
ceedings, and as the judgment of forfei
ture is to the United States only, it is not
a case for summons and severance. ■*“
-Third. That the appeal or writ of er
ror may be sustained in such cases. See
Brightley’s Digest, p.261, and see p. 262,
sec. 10.
Fourth. There is nothing but Wilsey’s
bare statement that there is a new infor-
mationi n Hlinois; but if there is such a
proceeding in Illinois, it presents no case
for the election which the Court is asked to
require. Besides, the Attorney General
has no authority to elect.
Case pending.
The Cholera in France.
Alarm, of the People—Scenes at Toulon and
Marseilles.
A Paris correspondent of the London
Star writes :
Tidings of the most painful character
reach ns from Marseilles. On the 18th,
the nnmber of deaths registered was
eighty-seven, of which fifty-two were
cholera patients. In the civil ^hospital
eleven died; in the city and suburbs
twenty-four—besides seven children. On
the 29th, by two o’clock in the afternoon,
flfty-fonr deaths were recorded, of which
thirty-five were caused by that epidemic.
The town is in a state of panic, whioh
extends its pernicious influences to all the
neighboring cities and villages—Cassis,
Cabries, Clotal, Martiqaes, Arles, Toulon
and Segne have all been visited by this
frightful scourge. In the latter place,
which is scarcely more than a suburb of
Toulon, and contains a population of from
12,000 to 15,000 persons, the panic rose to
such a height in consequence of the death
of twenty persons in one day, tha^the in
habitants literally took to flight, and on
the morning following those deaths but
four thousand persons remained.
That misfortune never comes alone has
been sadly illustrated in this instance—
famine actually threatening to decimate
the few who remained. The 3500 work
men of the forging establishments as well
as of the building yards, were without
bread one evening, and were only rescued
from starvation by the prompt measures
of Government. A train was dispatched
from Marseilles, laden with provisions in
charge of M. Deouna, one of the principal
merchants of that city. The conduct of
this gentleman appears to have been ad
mirable. He remained at Segne, and
finding no nands willing to assist him in
the task of cleansing and purifying the
infected parts of the town, set about doing
this unpleasant task himself, and for two
days and two nights worked incessantly,
until he was relea ed by M. Guigner de
Prangms, Director of the Compagnie des
Forges et Chantiers,
The panic was so frightful that when
M. Deouna arrived at the Segne terminus
with the store of provisions from Mar
seilles, notwithstanding the presence of a
strong body of railway porters, hundreds
made a rush at the carriages, in each of
which an average of eighteen persons
managed to stow themselves and thus the
overcrowded train returned to Marseilles.
At Toulon the state of tlm town is more
deplorable. At six last nijpit eighty-four
deaths were registered, of which seventy-
six were cholera patients. The Montpe
lier College of Physicians sent down all
its students by an early train. These
yonng men instantly undertook the am
bulance service, and worked the whole
day conveying the sick on the stretchers
to the various 'hospitals, and devoted
themselves to their attendance with a zeal
and courage which is beyond praise, and
the more to be appreciated, as half the
population had fled and the municipal
authorities were utterly insufficient iu
numbers to give effectual aid.
At eight o’oteok at night many among
these youths had not even thought of
seeking lodging, and had taken no food
since their arrival. The evening and
night passed with fewer additional cases
than had been anticipated, and by this
morning all possible arrangements have
been made to face the awful circumstances
of the time.
Those who had not quitted Toulon
showed admirable presence of mind. By
pine o'olook in the evening fires were
blazing at the corners of streets in.all
close lanes; guns and petards were like
wise fired in every direction to destroy
the pestilential miasmas which were
spreading contagion far and wide.
At twelve o’clock yesterday sufficient
coffins were not to be had to bury the
dead; gravediggers were also wanting.
Gangs of condemned prisoners were seen
to issue from the Hague, and to march to
ward the cemetery, were they dug a deep
and wide trench, in which to deposit, at
midnight, the corpses of those who had
expired in the bospiteds. The procession
qf the dead lasted to an early hour this
morning.
It is needless to say the shop3 ara all
closed and all business suspended. The
Mayor and city authorities are assiduous
in their visits to the hospitals, and have
given the physicians of the town carte
blanche to order whatever they see fit,
utterly regardless of oost, for their pa
tients. The Vlcountess de Chabanncs,
and her husband, the Prefect Maritime,
accompanied by Major Gen. Legras and
his whole staff, -visited the cholera wards
of the Naval Hospital, which courage
ous act has had the best effect on the
moral tone of tRe panic-stricken popula
tion. -
The system of fumigation by fire was
adopted at Marseilles on an extensive
scale on Thursday night. By ten o’clock
not less than one thousand bonfires were
blazing, and werekept burning the whole
night, by which means a double object
was attyxqedi as not only -the dispersion
of miaamatio odors was accomplished,
but also the destruction of an immense
lot of old furniture and soiled articles,
the removal of winch has contributed to
purify the rooms from which they
taken.

in that of the Cannes is described as hav

v ith marked approbation, and the troupe,

heretofore.
Sulphur and Cholera.
Dr. Herring, of Philadelphia, in his
“Domestic Physician,” says of Asiatic
cholera :
The surest preventative is sulphur; put
half a tea-spoonful of flour of sulphur
into each of your stockings and go about
your business; never go out with an emp
ty stomach; eat no fresh bread nor sour
food. This is not only a preventive in
cholera, but also in many other epidemio
diseases. Not one of many thousands
who have followed this, my advice, have
been attacked by cholera.
