That the body of owe executed for murder should attended to the grave by auch public demonstration of reaped, ia a novel and startling occurrence. In this case it indicates, I in our judgment, a very strong conviction, on the part of great number" of oar fellow-citizens, that he was not guilt of the crime -for which he suffered.

That any man should be judicial! put to death, while any considerable portion of the community believes him innocent of the only crime for which death can be the penalty, is an occurrence which every reflecting person must profoundly eieprecate. It tends to destroy that feeling of reliance upon the infallible justice of the law, which alone gives it a permanent hold on the confidence and obedience of the community. That an innocent person ahould be hang, shocks the public sense as among the highest of all possible wrongs. It is not simply the death of the victim of this injustice, which arouses so profound a sense of horror; for men innocent of crime die daily in our sight, and oftentimes by violence, without exciting special emotion. But society stands clothed with a sort -of omnipotence the lives of its members are in its hands and when it is 'once seen, or believed, that this sat, resistless, irresponsible power is not infallible, 4hat it makes mistakes, and visits upon innocence the vengeance due to crime, it loses its hold upon public loyalty and love, and stands in each man's path as a gloomy, blind and remorseless tyrant.

"Whether Grunzig was guilty, or not, it is not for us to say. In strict accordance with all the forms of law, by the verdict of a jury, he was so adjudged. Yet the fact remains that thousands of our citizens still believe him to have been innocent and their regard for the law under which he died, must inevitably be weakened. It is to be regretted that so mueh reliance ahould have been placed upon the par doning power vested in the Governor, and that evidence should have been reserved for an apnea! to that, which ourht to have laid before tha jury. The Governor is not made by the Constitution' a new tribunal for the trial of persons accused of crime.

He has no right to disregard the action of a jury, and punish or pardon at his own discretion. And still less has he any power to dispense with, or to modify, the execution of the law. The power of pardon is vested in him solely for such emergencies as human wisdom cannot foresee or guard against. And when the requirements of the law have been fully met, when a legal trial has been had and a legal conviction pronounced, unless new evidence be discovered, or some fatal defect in pattt proceedings be revealed, the Governor has no right to interfere with the execution of the sentence which the law decrees. We trust a law will be passed in State postponing- executions for murder until at least one year after sentence shall have been pro-- i uwuuvcu.

uulu a iav wuuiu mouiiy to a certain extent, the operation of the dreadful penalty of aeath, and would create additional safeguards against that greatest of all conceivable acts of injustice, tne execution of the innocent. Onr ZHiaiater at Paris. It is a twelve-month sinceMr. Webster's Hulsemann letter astounded the lookers on at Vienna. The role of the Secretary sppears to be that of a gigantic spirit, more potent than a peel re, haunting the dreams of despotism.

His part 'is that of an unfriendly genius, always ready to use his supernatural powers for the an- mnuauon oi tyranny when opportunities pre- sent, and creating them when they do not. Just now, for instance, the dry bones ot the Bona-partists are sorely stirred by the recent letter to -Mr. Rives, and Paris talks much of the spirit-and tone of the American Cabinet. Witness what M. in his correspondence with the Courrier dea Etata- Unit has to say Among all the misfortune, of progress; rs ideas luropesa democrats hav found as other consolation aad comfort thaa the lattar, addreaaed after the coup d'etat of December 1, by Mr.

Rivee to Mr. Wabatcr, and ths reply la which tha latter, while enjoining the Aaieri-eaa ambassador ta neogala the Government adopted by Franc, declare aeaa th lea tba unahaken truet of Ala eoaintry ia tba Republican lnetitution. which have tasartd Us prosperity and grestneaa. These two doc a. menu, the republication of which fa Parisian journals ha aot beea hindered by the Censor, have produced A vary marked acnaaUon.

They have plaoed their authors high ta the esteem of republican a. Ia spit this, or boot correctly, ia'coasequence of this, the recall of Mr. Rive, is tailed of. His position at the Elysee has be-eaa diaagreeabl and it ia supposed that the Cabinet Washington will yield to his for a recall in to preserve an tnttntt cordiale." While it is pleasing to know that the compensation and comfort of these communications are not shared by votaries of the usurpation, it mortifying to note the extremely low esti-, mat at which the dignity and importance of this Government are rated. Fsr a good understanding with Louis Bonaparte, is regarded very much aa a matter of course, that a faithful servant.

Whoso COnillll-t Viaa Kr trrmmtmA at all timet, with singular unanimity of approval, ah all be sacrificed unhesitatingly. Mr. Rives has been one of the few agents of eur country ia Europe, who have not forsworn and disgraced its principles. In the earlier days of the present regime in France, a period of unparalleled perplexity to the diplomatist, his course was characterised by the soundest of judgment. There was then little doubt as to what the representatives of monarchies had to do but there was no precedent for Republicans, and Mr.

Rives had to create one. He did so his act has been universally applauded abroad and at home out-doors and at the Secretary's desk and accordingly we are assured that his removal is the condition of a good understanding between thetjueller of one Republic and the President of another. How far the poltroonery and conciliatory servility our Captains, Consuls and Commodores Marseille, are responsible for this insuttinr intunaUon, w. do not propose to determined It is quite dear tha the Government of the Elysee ka. gathered the Uea from some quarter, (hat tee Government of.

the Wmu House are pro-fbundly fearful of ruptured relation, with France, WTiere the symptoms of national ague have been detected we can readily imagine. But it matters little. Mr. Rive, is hardly likely to be ot-fered up along with Kossuth in order to pacify the French marauder, and there is no need of agitation against so preposterous a project. If our Minister be insulted, let him return but if he withdraw because too sanguins expectations of cordiality at the Court of a despot are disappointed, he may count on losinj all the personal good-will obtained by previous manly behavior.

Constancy as well as fidelity is what we want in our diplomatists. The Atr Librsrf One of the crowning features of our City will be the library, now soon to be opened, bequeathed to her by her most affluent son. It was what she most needed. It will tend to pour an element of literature into our marts. The reputation of the City of New-York has suffered, in comparison with some of her sisters, in literature and learning.

To be sure, stars of the first magnitude and brightness are here at the Bar, in the Desk, in the Editor's Chair, in Medicine, at the Exchange in Poetjy, Eloquence, Commerce, Science, and Art she catalogues illustrious men. Young men of talent, energy, and enterprise, flock to her from all parts of the Union and thus there is concentrated here more of aspiration, of determination, and self-reliance, than in those cities whose inhabitants are living, to a greater degree, in the place of their nativity. But nevertheless, it is said, that in the more quiet cities of Boston and Philadelphia, greater erudition prevails. That leisure may have afforded opportunity, there, for making a more intimate acquaintance with books, is not improbable. With us, the lush and whirl of commerce has, to some extent, crowded out the cultivation of letters.

The commercial strife that thunders alon our streets the masses of business which our most fortunate position has thrown upon us have absorbed the time, the energy and the abilities of our citizens. What, for instance, in the department of literature, can be expected of our lawyers, when nearly a dozen Courts ar. in continuous session through all seasons of the year, with calendars numbering from one to twelve hundred casas What leisure to study aught but their cases, what to indulge in general literature, or glance even at the table of contents of the innumerous works that are dropping from the press Consequently, there is, we think, a less elevated tone of literary excellence in the speeches of our advocates than in those of the cities we have mentioned though, for clear-headed vision, dexterity, tact, seizing the strong points, and dispatch, they -probably stand unsurpassed. So with our Editors. What can they do but arrange, and give such pass-, ing notice as their time permits, to the vast variety of most interesting and news that is daily pressing upon them from all quarters of the globe And yet, an Editor should be fed in part from the table of the past.

It is not enough that he can deal glibly with the thronging events of the day indispensable as thie qualification is but he should also have the ability and time to transmute, for the edification of his readers, the cumbrous bullion of books into current coin. So with our merchants, our artisans, our business men generally. Accuracy and quickness are the qualities most prized. At the same time, it is highly desirable, that in the intervals of business, a taste for literature should grow, upon us and nothing, certainly, can better tend to accomplish this, than the es-' tablishment of the great library which the munificence of its founder has given us. To know that there is such a resource within cay reach that while the rushing tides of noisy Broadway are heaving, there is one little islet in this busy sea, one quiet nook for investigation, one sheltered place consecrated to the refreshment of the mind, where one can sit undisturbed with those spirits who have illuminated the past, and who shed a splendor over the present, must give us pause," and, in those pauses of business, induce greater devotion to intellectual instruction, embellishment, and gar-nit re.

Here may! the scholar examine any and every question," explore all subjects, tracing them through all that has been heretofore written upon them. He may follow Genius wherever it has traced its thoughts all great men, living or dead, whether they live in their own writings, or in the recorded recollections of others the poet; wherever he has lifted his song the mathematician, in his abstruse calculations the philosopher, in his profound suggestions and the astronomer, as he points his tube into the sky. Here will the intellectual treasures of all nations be laid at his feet. This library leaps into existence in well developed proportions. If the National Library at Paris, beginning with ten volumes, has come to.

be regarded as the finest in Europe, we may draw the promise that ours, opening with sixty thousand volumes a bibliographical anomaly may, in future years, rival that magnificent collection. It already makes respectable approach to the great book-gatherings of Europe, which have been centuries in and in a few years undoubtedly will take rank with those that have been formed by kings and maintained. by royal treasuries. Every year will, see some of the choicest volumes that are scattered over Europe and Asia, making their way to a permanent home on the shelves of the great Library of the Western World. Thus extensive in its incipiency, most judiciously selected through the zeal, judgment and fidelity of Dr.

Cogswell, its Librarian admirable, as we understand it is to be, in its appointments with a perpetual fund in reserve to keep it up with the times, and indefinitely increasing the beneficiary, as it will doubtless become, of individual bounty thoroughly republican in its management open to all it must become the resort of the learned from all portions of the country, and the head of American literary navigation. It is said that the number of visitors to the British Museum averages three thousand a day, "We may expect that large numbers of our countrymen will daily drink at this" Pierian Spring." It will bring the scholars of our country together, make them better acquainted, and give a spur and impulse to their common pursuits. The ladies, we are glad to hear, are to be remembered, by having a reading-room devoted to them, with a libiarian of their own sex, who will place the resources of the establishment at their command. Though the sum bestowed on this institution has, by some, been thought to be small, compared with the great wealth of its giver, y.t we think that the receipt of the bequest in such a spirit is unbecoming and ungenerous. For absolutely, the sum is large; and we should look rather at what the testator done, than at what he might have done.

The devise springs immediately into the highest consequence, and becomes eminently useful and consplcaous among the public institutions of our City and country and when the memory ofthe vast opulence of its founder shall have been forgotten, and the wealth itself, under the dispersing influence of our laws, shall have outflowed from it. present concentration, in a thousand channels, then will this monument he has raised still bear his name down the stream of time, associated with the learning and letters of his country. tST TL. Ketr-Jersry StmnJard is the title of a nsw weekly newspaper, published at Middletowa Point, byHiRar MoaroiD. Mr.

Morford has marked literary ability, and will, aaquesUsaably, make an iateresrtax aad valuable weekly. t3T Advice, by the Africa, do not inform us whether and hew the conference, at Vienna had terminated. It was. understood, however, that the latter weeks of February were to end them. Our reader, are aware that we attach much importance to the result, as indicative of the future politic, of mid-Europe.

If Austria succeed, them adieu to Republican Germany, Republican Hungary, Republican Italy. The union will be a rifaccimento of the Holy Alliance a political instrument for hopeless liberticide commercial agent only so far as national liberties are put up for sale. But trili Austria succeed The auguries are all the ether way. The acts of the Conference are carried along with triumphant ease the minor members have no negative to any proposition of lhe Austrian Ministry; the minutes read smoothly and well only the troublesome proviso, if Prussia consent," has to be intruded at the foot of each page a death-warrant signature to all that goes before. Prussia has signified, with quite sufficient emphasis, that she will not consent.

There is no appearance entered for Prussia at the consultation. There is every reason. to believe that the deliberation, will be long, before, the Brand.n-burgs give np the cherished hope of ruling in the German Diet, through their presidency of the Customs Union. Austria asks too much and the granting depends upon the ability of the secondary States to force Prussia into compliance. Apprehensive of coercion, it is rumored, says the Weset Zeitung, that entire secession from the Diet is favored at Berlin, by way of treating the troublesome little confederates to a taste of Austrian rule.

There is certainly much ill-feeling existing between the two powers a feeling that must effectually bar the shrewd purposes of Schwarzenburg. These troubles between rogues affect us lightly. May they be increased a' ia The appointment of Mr. Layard, as under Secretary or Stat to Earl Granville, afford tha topic for a good deal of favorabi comment in the English liberal paper. It ia an appointment a honorable to to Republic of Letter aa to th Republic of Politico" 1 Why sot If Mr.

Layard's services in quarrying Nineveh were worth what they have been valued at, then is his appointment neither judicious nor honorable. Under unless they are under-ground secretaries, have nothing in common, unless it be a rhyme, with Antiquaries. The transit from digging to diplomacy is unnatural. If all the man-headed bull, and lions have been dug up from Assyrian sand if there be no further Babylonish pottery to be excavated there aregio other cuneiform inscriptions to be confounded at, then the appointment is all very wise and munificent, and whatever else its bepraisers claim. But if the researches are what they claim to be, and if Mr.

Layard's merits credit the report of them, then is a useful laborer too soon pensioned off from active service. Literature, certainly, receives few enough favors from power to forbid a quarrel with almost any bone flung to it. Bat while there are well-used and superannuated scholars, antiquaries, historians, unrewarded, and unemployed, it is no favor to learning or humanity, to select a man like Layard, just starting in life, with fame but half-earned and honors not earned at all, and give him what is due to real excellence or industry. We are supposing, let it be remembered, that Earl Granville is attempting to play Maecenas in his appointment to any other supposition our remarks do not apply. What posterity will or we should think of Mr.

Layard'. labors, is a question by no means well settled. The exhumation of certain stones rudely shaped into the likeness of nothing heavenly, earthly, or hadean slabs with relievos and inscriptions, both the food for endless and useless conjecture; and the composition of an agreeable book, wherein the mo6t interesting chapters are those having the least reference to the scufptures these are the bases of the explorer's reputation. They, of course, have no pretension to practical utility they evolve no new ideas in morals or philosophy throw little 05 no light upon history that they will' ever serve as aids to art, is the silliest of fancies and the only imaginable use, if it may be styled mo, to which they may be put, is the partial satisfaction of an idle-curiosity. With all deference, then, to thos.

who find so much to felicitate themselves upon in this tribute to the republic of letters, we must beg to enter our non-content. If Mr. Layard, we repeat, deserved reward for his labors, it should have been of such a nature as net to suspend them. If he did not deserve it, all the glorification is, of course, misplaced and absurd. And there are many who will find no reason for irrepressible grief in the transfer of Mr.

Layard from Nineveh to Downing-street. UT The Pennsylvania Railroad was constructed mainly, though not entirely, with capital furnished by Philadelphia. Pittsburg furnished its share of the capital so did various towns and counties along the line. The inducement held out at the Eastern end was th. restoration of the decaying trade of Philadelphia; at the West, the word was an increase of facilities for traffic with the Eastern cities.

As the enterprise nears completion, the fact disclose, itself; and we find in it another exhibition of the same ungenerous spirit which has prompted the long contest against a Mint in. New-York. The managers of the Road have refused to carry freight from points to the eastward of Philadelphia. The merchants consequently detain the bulk of the Southwestern traders in that city, by representing the impossibility of shipping the gooas seasonaoiy Irom other markets. The aye-tem works well.

That great bug-bear of Philadelphia repose, the prosperity of a rival, i. quietly laid. The means may not be honorable. Other mean, than a generous, fair competition, based upon price, liberality of terms, and a geod article, cannot be. But the present method has an advantage no other could probably enjoy to such an unlimited degree and that is in the fact that no competition in the same particular line need be apprehended.

A contest in selfishness and foul play is not an arena in which the New-York merchant chooses to meet his opponent. A card will be found in a neighboring column, signed by several leading firms, engaged in the Southwestern trade, showing that the game of the Philadelphians has not been so perfectly played as had been imagined. The fault i owing less to deficient will than to poverty and carelessness. Not only does the New-York jobber set off diminished price, against the vaunted facilities of his antagonist, but proves that other routes than the Pennsylvania Central Railroad have their recommendations for speed and economy and that in spite of the indirect dealing of the managers and merchants interested in that thoroughfare, advantages of every kind still balance in favor of this market. Attention is directed to the card.

The venerable Chief Justice Jones spoke briefly, though feelingly and appropriately, to the fourth toaat, connecting his own early reminiscence of ancient Cambria with his later attachments to this blessed Union. His summary reference to the annals of Wales, her-successful resistance of invssion, her early compromise with Edward of England, and subsequent Incorporation into th Government of Great Britain, under the Eighth Henry, was exceedingly appropriate, and received the undivided attention and warm applause of th company.

We learn from our Chagre. correspondent that the Panama Railroad has been opened to a point thirteen mile from Navy Bay.

Among th recent traveler aero th Iathmu was Senor Fakxdxs, for some years Secretary of Foreign Affairs at Bogota. lie was on his way to Washington aa Minister from th Republic of Grenada.

The American at Chagre are nearly all at loggerhead with each other. The opening of the Railroad must sink American Chagres in the rising prosperity of Navy Bay.

As they are in nearly every instance badly provisioned and poorly watered, much uflering must be experienced amoagat those who are so unfortunate aa to take passage in them.
