must rest upon me, from the insinuation
of which feel bound to deicud myself.
Whether the pamphlet merits the severe
censures cast upon II or not, discerning
pubic will Judge. Bot | have yet TO
learn that free and apparently sincere
confession OF crimes, accompanied with
powerful and solemn warnings, has the
effect col drawing away the attention
from the crime and meriied punishment"
OF a convict. That the bravo and hard
hood of obdurafe offenders on The scat
fold has that tendency, | readily admit,
but, am really SO short-slghted as to
suppose that confession of guilt, warn
ings against crime, and examples OF JUS
tice placed before the community, woald
rather deter men from crimes, than in
vie them 10 the perpetratIon. II really
appears to me new doctrine in the code
oil moral philosophy, that, b, warnings
against henous crimes, men are induce
TO perpetrate them; or that voluntary
surrender on the part Of criminal, and
submission to the sentence of the law, as
in the case OF Green, have the effect to
rob the legal administration OF Justice
OF a, great part of its salutary effect
II is not diffiault to imagine which
would produce the most salutary ian
pressions on society, the execution OF
hardened off nder, who, sulIen and petu-
LEM, or sportlve and thoughtless, should
amuse the gaping multitude with pro
ianeness and levl'y, or man deeply SEN
sole OF the enormIty OF his offences, who
should bow WI h submission to the u.s.
tice OF the law, acknowled dying his guilt,
and impressively warning Others 10 shun
the paths he had irod. And such emo
tons as would be the effect in Witnessing
the scene, would be produced, though
with more fam, impression, on the
mind ct the reader. Ii was sincerely
hoped that the example of Green, held
up TO the world in the light OF a solemn
warming, would produce salutary effects
on society. With this object distinctly
in view, / assumed the responsibility and
expense of the publication, without the
prospect OF pecunIary profits; and it is
still my hope that this will yet be the
result.

FARMERS BANK OF VIRGINIA.

The bill which passed the House of Delegates ex-
tending the Charter of the Farmers Bank for six
years from June 1897, has been reported to the Ser
ate, by the committee to which it referred, with
two important amcndments, and made the order of
the day for Wednesday next. The first amendment,
extends the period of renewal toffteen years-the
second exacts from the Stockholders Exclusive of
the Stock held by the State, the public Institute
ons) bonus of fifty thousand dollars, which bonus
is TO be applied to the benefit of the University of
pirginia. II is difficult to conjecture the fate of
the bill, either in the Senate the House, in its "a
mended shape. The provision the bonus will create
for it new friends, whilst the extension to fifteen
years, may detach old ones. The section locating
an agency at Danville, is, informed, retained.
