TO S. Tiomas. When about fifteen days
out, the defendant, Capt. Darnaud, told me
we were going to the coas: Of Africa, and
he would give me $500. agreed TO take
ii, because there was no other way for me
to DO, and he was to pay my passage back
to the States from Cuba. We took Cos
negroes; this Captain resigned his post after
we got 10 the coast; a British brig-of-war
passed US before we took the slaves on
board; the Captain was on deck, and We
had the American flag flying; the port was
named Ayada, and | was told that it .ras

Law REFORM

4 bill has been introduced in the Massa-
ohusetts Legislature providing that, in Grim
inal trials, the prisoners counsel should
have the closing argument inst cad of the
prosecuting attorney.
Among the many steps which have been
taken towards tie improvement OF criminal
Jurisprudence, il is somewhat surprising
that the one Indicated by the above bill has
not heretofore been made We do not re-
member il il was embraced in any oil Jere-
my Bentham's schedules for the improve
men, of the law, bu, il strikes us that the
passage cfthe bill would be very decided
advance in the right direction. The hui
name maxim Of the law is, ihst it is better
that ten guilty men should escape punish
ment. than that one innocent man should
suffer; but the Intention OF this maxim is
often frustrated by the practice which gives
the prosecutor the closing speech. We
are far from wishing tina, real criminals
should escape the penalty OF violating the
law. but We are decided in the opinion that
the Establishments OF eloqueRce should
never be used to secure the conviction Of
the prisoner. We take IL. that the duty Of
prosecutor is to present the facts, In
plain and unyarlished manner, aud what
ever force they may have, when thus pre-
scented, must be boine BY the person on trial,
bu. ~ rhetorical embellishments should be
allowed or INDUCED in, 1t places the State
in the attitude of person seeking for vim
dic,ive damages, which is not the theory of
the law, and ought no, to be the practice.

DEcLIsED.-We notice that s. S. Cox,
formerly editor of The Ohio Statesman, has
declined the appointment Of Secretary Of
Legation TO Peru. We thought at the
time the appointment was made that it was
hardly high enough for the reach Of Sam'-
young ambition, and we are not surprised
that the aspiring author Of the Buckeye
Abroad" should prefer taking the chance
of Ohio politics to rusticating in SO out-of-
the-way place as Peru.
