"CApIrAL."-A letter from Paris contains
the following:
"Mr. Alphonse Karr, wit and Feuilletonist
by profession, says in the columns of the Ma
nonal, paper advocating the abolition of CAPT
tai punishment, For myself | say, if the infic-
ton Of the pain of death is to be done away
with, let the assassins set the example. This
is an cpigram Of the first water in French, but
it rather loses its force in translation. Isl Pon
tent abolir Ia peine de mort, que messieurs
les assassins commencent'"
II stealing is to be done away with, let thieves
set the example; and so with reference to all
crimes. Good men have nothing to do. Faughl
It is fiat; there is nothing "capital" and no
point in it.

ANNUAL EXHIBITIONS or THE WASHINGTON
SEaIsARY.-The interesting exhibition by the
scholars Of the above institution came of to-
day, at the National Hall. Long before the
hour announced for the commencement, the
Hall was crowded to excess with the friends of
the scholars, and chiefly by the ladies, who in
deed lent additional charms to the occasion
We would be pleased, had we the space, to mo-
tice particularly each of the boys who took
part in the exercises but let 1t suffice to say,
that each acquitted himself with great honor to
himself and credit to the worthy President, Rev.
]. Z. Blox, and his associates.
The scholars formed in procession at the
Seminary, and, accompanied by number of
the reverend Professors, proceeded by way of
Pennsylvania avenue to the Hall, where the
exercises were conducted, the music being dis
coursed by the fine band attached to the Wash
ington Light Infantry and led by Captain Mar
soetti.
The exercises being completed, the process
sion returned to the Seminary, and was dis
missed. Tomorrow the examination will take
place.

BOUNTY LAND CAsEs.-We have gathered
some accurate and useful information upon this

Certificates Of service were issued from the
Third Auditors Office, during the month of
June, in 1852 cases, being daily average of
227 for twenty-five working days. In eleven
days Of July, 1856 cases-a daily average of
223.
These certificates are for the Indian wars
from 1870 to 1912, and for the war with Great
Britain up to June, 1916. In many instances
the same person rendered service two or three
times, and generally under different officers

quent; and these defects cause much CORES
pondence and unavoidable delay.
Service in the subsequent wars is reported
upon by the Second Auditor and the Adjutant
General; but two-thirds of the whole number,
probably, have arisen under the war with Great
Britain.
The pressure has been so great, that the
warrants now issuing are upon declarations
fled early in December; and these were SO nu-
merous that it may require several weeks to
dispose of those filed at the opening of Congress-
