The following statement, showing the present condi- tion of these institutions, with a slight sketch of ‘heir carlier histories, may not be devoid of inter- est. COLUMBIA COLLEGE ‘Was founded in the year 1754. The college edi- fice was erected in 1756. on ground given by Trinity ‘Church, situated in Church street, between Bar- @lay and Murray streets. The institution was ebartered under the royal seals, and then known as King’s College. In 1767, a medical school was es- tablished in the college, and the plan of educatioa was extended, so that previously to the war of the revolution it embraced nearly all the branches of Kearning taught in the European colleges. On the breaking out of the revolutionary war, tice of and Burgical BF. of Women and C! dical J: with the President of the college fled to England, and | | ¥. 8. a the building wasappointed by the Committee of | “jonn Gallaher, MD .

In 1784, all the seminaries of learning in the State were placed under the authority of an insti- gution established by an act of the Legislature, | called the University of the State. Under the su- pervision of the Regents of this University the af- faire of the college were now regulated, and the mame “* King’s College” was, at this time, changed to “Columbia College ” The institution continued | under the immediate superintendence of these re- gents until 1787, when another act was passed | placing it under the care of twenty-nine trustees.

The literary and scientific @ourse was open to others besides matriculated students, and was designed with a view of render- ing the benefits of education more generally acces- sible to the community; but the plan not finding favor with the public, it was, in 1843, discontinued. Columbia College has at present one hundred and twenty students, and the affairs of the institu- tion are in a prosperous condition. Twenty-five students graduated the last term.

The main motion is | to quash the writ of error, on two because of concealment of mate: officer who allowed the writ; and, second, because that officer had no power to allow a writ of error, incorporating into it an ozder to stay proceed: ings.

Upon this question, which is one of con- struction of a statute, we have no aid from adjudi- cations. ‘@ have been referred to only one case (Freeman's) where such an order has been granted, and in that case the Hight to grant it seems not to | have been # subject of discuision or adjudication. I confess my first impression on this subject was ad- — verse to the existence of the — The section of the statute so often referredto g R. S. 658, see. 15.) is very explicit in its terms—‘ No juige, court, or officer, other than the Governor, shall have any au- thority to reprieve or suspend the execution of an’ convict sentenced to the punishment of death.” The revisors, in their report recommending the section, say, that “the prec or some other provisions concerning the su: ion of executions seem absolutely necessary. Those stated (viz., la- nacy and pregnancy) are the only cases where the interference of any other power than that of the Governor can be necessary. Without express- ing an opinion whether the ju; or courts the power of suspending executions, it yot ed an unnecessary power, as the court may | suspend judgment in case of doubt, and is so j obviously ble to abuse and conflicts with | the powers and duties of the Executive, that its exercise should be expressly prohibited.” It will be observed that it is “reprieves and su:- | pensions” of execution, that are alone forbidden to all others, than the Governor, and it becomes | material to a what is meant by those words in | the statute. e can gather that meaning from an | unmistakable source. The constitution in force when | the Revised Statutes were enacted, in defining the | power of the Executive in article Il, sec. 5, | says he “shall have power to it reprieves and | pardons after conviction for all offences, except | treagzon and cases of impeachment. Upon con- | victions of troason, he shall have power to suspend the execution,” &c., until the Legislature can be consulted. The wig oe vol. 1, ae ta 3, rs] enacts in re; to his granting reprieves ani pardons jnnen offences, and + pending ex- ecution in cases of treason.

And so, in case of preg- may in like manner “suspend the execu- .’ The term ‘ reprieve,” as applied to con- victs, has a definite meaning. It jpones the | time of execution to a definite day, while ‘‘suspen- sion” is for an indefinite period. It cannot be | claimed, nor has it been, that the act complained of by the Attorney, in this case, was s re- prieve; it was a mn, ifat all within the | stat under consideration. The object of the statute was to prevent a conflict between the Exe- cutive and other departments of the government. | The power of the Governor to it an absolute | pardon needed no protection from the statute, tor it was confessedly vested in him, and in him alene. But his power to reprieve, that is, to defer the execution until a definite time, did re- uire such protection, forit was claimed and had then recently been exercised by other officers. in | Miller's case, in 1528, reported in 9 Cowen, 730, a court of Oyer and Terminer, after sentence of death had been pron: and the time for execution | had been fixed, had interfe: by Postponing the | execution to a day certain and nd t origi. nally appointed, and had thus, as it was claimed the Governor, ited a reprieve.” The Teorasa judge, whose conduct was arra’ on that occa- ve, received the | f the jurists of our sion, in a letter which has, I almost upiversal approbation State, claimed that the power existed in the judges | of granting reprieves to such time as might be necessary to give room to apply to the executive for ® pardon ; of common right to it it be rity to award execution; and was ne more an executive than a judicial power. It was to Lin | an end to this claim and exercise of power that the statute in question was recommended and P—4 | ed. Thus far the origin of the statute has | regarded only as it affected reprieves. There was one case, only one, in which the (ioverner was authorized by the constitution or the laws to suspend a seatence for an indefinite period, and that in cases of treason, where the power to pardon was exprossly prohibited to him. Now, as the power claimed by the judges was rested upon broad enough to reach suspensions also, as a —— no Be case “ Lag = bn one of those put forth by the presiding ju: in. cised, the revisors (and the ture follo their recommendation) deemed its prohibition the case occurred to one which might occur. stance, therefore, that, as the teat, torepeiove for’ & detalte porld, the owe , to reprieve x ite wer should not exercised by an; i ciher heel, and that, as be hed T in cases of treason, to id for an indefinite period, that fn "like any other statate it manner should not be exercised by one. And thus the object of the inst was attained in agai tween the executive and judicial departments. of inthe case before us, was not a “reprieve,” within the sense of that word as used in the consti- tution and the statute; and | now add, it is equally juspension” within hat sense. it was, howe ment, that even if the would bear such construction, it was evidently the intention of the to prohibit the exer- cise of any power over, or interference with, the | sentence by any one other than the (iovernor, and that the act com; of, was clearly within the of the statute; we have not overlooked that it struck us with much force on the in their — touching this if not quite, » is , for i #0; and to is necessary ment; the revisors enactment, almost might writ of writ of " ora bound to allow it.
