Journal of Commerce writes
aThe President and the Senate are now at
;ssue. and you will shortly see further demon
STATIONS of hostility on both sides. The Senate
will refuse the appropriations, and the President
will adjourn Congress, and carry on the govern

nominations of Importance, and the President
will appoint what officers he pleases. No one
can look at the present state of things without
Eoreseeing this result"

Tirginia Criminal Code.-A very important
act was passed. at the last session OF the Virgil
MIA Legislature, which, like many other matters
ofinterest, has been almost entirely overlooked,
in the discussions which have grown out of ano-
Their subject and which have monopolized pub
lie attention. We allude to the act creating a
Board of Revisors, to prepare Criminal Code
for this Commonwealth. The Board consist Of
Chapman Johnson, Esq, Judge VIM. Broken

and Robert Stanard, Esq. They are directed
10 report to the next General Assembly speci-
fcation of the existing offences against the Com
monwealth, and new system of punshments
and penalties, graduating and equalizing them
and likewise as to the expediency of abolishing
capital punishment-a subject which, we are
glad to see, is daily attracting the attention OF
philanthropic legislators and jurlsts.
