war; "whv, if the custom of war be

Capital Punishment.


The committee of the judiciary in the
New York Legislature, we are happy TO
learn, have reported against the abolish
ment of capital punishment in case of
murder, the visionary notions of some nj
the present day Notwithstanding. They
say as follows:
The conclusion, SO far as human rea-
son can fathom ard discern he CORES
pondence Of motion TO action, is, to your
committee inevitable, that any relaxation
Of the existing penalty of death for muir
der afore-thougi!, would be but dis
guised premium for It's more frequent
occurrence"
We received a sermon from a minister
recently on this subject, and we thought
he might have been about better business.
