Punishment.

writer in the Times under the signature OF
Cato finds fault with the present law IN relation
20 murderefs, and calls it barbarous law He Is
opposed to capital punishment, we suppose, but al
so to the solitary confinement of murderers. He
would have murderers punished, but it is hard to
tell how. For our part we see nothing so very
barbarous in putting man to hard labor IN close
confinement who has in cold blood taken the life
Of his fellow man. If our prisons are to be made
places Of anusement-a place in them desirable
stuaton--we apprehend that they will have but
little influence to prevent crime. Nj experience
has proved that 1t is injurious to allow criminals to
associate with each other, and especially to allow
those guilty OF the worst of crimes TO associate
with less hardened criminals. But, according to
some, to deny murderer the privilege of exercis-
ing his SOCIAL faculties, we doing great inius-
tee We should be glad to see every improve
aentin our prison discipline that can be made, but
we should be opposed to treating the man who
commits murder withlhe same lenlty that We do a
nan who merely steals few dollars; nor would
,ge place the one in the company Of the other.

The chairman of the committee was re-
quested to report this bill three weeks ago,
but for some reasons he did not. IL is now
said that it has been kept back, with view
10 its presentation at SO late period OF the
session as to render action on it impossible
It may be reported IN the course OF time,
bat not with a view to its consideration at
this session
The reason for this reluctance to act on the
part Of the Committee, is that seven, OF nine
of them, are representatives from States which
do not, by the postage accruing III them,
meet the expcnces Of the mail establishment,
in their limits. Thus Virginia is 100000
behind, and North Carolina is $4,000 be-
hind hand Tennessee is behiHd hand but
New York contributes $3.50, 600 to therevenue.
Mr.. Phelps Of New York, and Mr.. Embree OF
Indiana, have been the most Jealous members
OF the committee in favor of the rates OF

The Postmaster General recommended a
reduction of the rates and is in favor of the

fleman residing in Southern State, was regu-
Gar correspondent of a certain periodical in New
York. which periodical was chiefly edited by the
daughter Of the proprietor. In process of time
the gentleman and lady alluded TO became pref
" well acquainted with each other, and cores
pended in a friendly manner.-The former to
make long story short fell in love with the as
vet unseen lady, and offered her his hand in mar
riage.-After 4 mature deliberation the lover was
accepted. His next step was to visit New York
where he kept himself out of the way of his in
tended wife, though both parties were making ar
rangenents for their union. The day was fixed
also the hour, and the friends of the lady assem-
bed in her fathers mansion. and she was ready to
become bride. At this stage of the proceedings
gentleman made his appearance hcralded by his
card. He was recognized as the future son-in-law
and husband, and was warmly welcomed By all
present, the lady in the meanwhile standing A.
mong her friends completely veiled. The clergy
man now stepped forward, and the marriage cere.
monv was performed; then it was that the husband
first fixed his eyes upon the eyes and countenance
OF his wife.
