Increase n,.1 Of Crime.

y.
The joint committee of the Legislature on the
Penitentiary, have presented a report well calcu
lated to startle the people OF Virginia. They
State that the increase of prisoners since the new
Code went into effect has become alarming, and
unless crime can be checked by some alteration o.
the laws, additional provision must be made for
their accommodation. They are satisfied that SO
great an increase of conyicts could not have Oc-
CURED withouta corresponding increase of crime.
The average Of four years from S44 to 1873, IN
elusive, was about fifty three convcts received
wear, and the number diminishing; while the
average for the last five fiscal years was about one
hundred and FIVE. and the number rapidly increas.
inc. To correct some Of the mischefs of the
present system, the committee have reported
bill, making three years the shortest time of con.
6nement. Out of $40 convicts received at the
Penitentiary from Oct. lst., lS40, TO Oct. lst.,
1855, only 307 were sentenced for three years
and upwards.
To investigate the causes of this great increase
of crime, and to devise remedy, would be a
work worthy the labor Of PHILOSOPHERS and legls-
lators. The Committee of the Legislature at
tribute the increase to the new Code. Formerly
the shortest term of confinement in the Peniten-
tiary was three years, and then persons accused
of comparatively slight offences, for which they
are now sentenced for one or two years, We're ac-
quilted in many cases on account of the severity
of the punishment. 1t would seem therefore that
to change the law as proposed, would diminish
the number Of convicts without diminishing the
amount Of crime.

Presidential Candidates.

The w ashington Star gives, in late number,
the gossip aboat the Federal Capital in rele renee
to the candidates of the respective parties for the
Presidency. From all it can gather among DEM
ocratic politicians no other candidates except
Pierce, Buchanan and Douglas are expected to be
urged on the Cincinnati Convention. Notwith
standing Judge Douglas has formally declined to
be candidate, his friends persist in keeping him
in that position, but will reserve him "for the
chances of dead lock" between Pierce and
Buchanan.
The friends of Mr.. Crittenden, says the Star.
are most active among those of the National A
merican party. aspiranIs atWashington. Indeed,
he alone of his party appears to have there well
drilled, euer getic aud discreet band Of advocates
and adherents. The veteran politicians of the
party, most of whom not long since were for the
nomination of Fillmore, are now with very few
exceptions for Crittenden's nomination believing
him to be the most available man. We observe,
however, that the American State Convention Of
Kentucky, has adopted resolutions in favor of
Garrett Davis.
Gov. Chase, of Ohio, is alone mentioned among
the Pack Republicans for their nomination it be-
ing understood that Seward, the real leader of the
party, declines canvass until 1860, when he
may have more hope Of being elected.

Pardonod.

We are gratified to learn that Gov. Wise has
pardoned Michael Mc'Tais, one of the Irishmen
convicted Of violating the person of young lady
in this county, in 1852, and sentenced to the Pen
itentiary for seventeen years. No one doubts the
truthfnlness Of the unfortunate victim, who was
the principal witness the trial, nor is the integ
rity Of the jury questioned but from facts which
have come to light since the conviction, it is rem
cent. The memorial prepared by Col. Baldwin,
and presented TO the Governor, is almost conclu-
sive upon this point. Maloney, the ringleader in
the outrage. acknowledging to his counsel his own
guilt, earnestly protested the innocence of Nc
Taip.

"Hari Times"

Well. these are hard times! There is no mis-
take about the matter, and what is worse they ale
not getting better fast. In all probability we
should not have survived them thus long, but ior
the ray of hope shot forth in glaring capitals from
the encouraging caption Of a handbill upon our
sanctum wall-"Good Time Coming" Having
waited so long and been so frequently dlsappoa'-
ed, we tore it down ina fit of desperation and
lrampled it under foot, since which doughty deed
we have been utterly destitute Of comfort. few
DAYS since our friend B. walked in, looking as
usual, hard. The fact is he is hard case, and
he had hardly taken his seat, before he commenced
humming
..Tbere's good time coming boys,
Wait little longer"
We thanked him for his advice, but thought 80
bard of his cruel jest that we could hardly refrain
from treating him to hard lick. While adjusting
ourselves in posture for this affeciouate procedure
In mped eur old crony Charley - and dropping
into hard bottom chair that happened to be hard
by. launched forth in plaintive, melancholy, and
almost beseechng tones:
ssHard times, Hard times, come again no more"
We Imagined that it was wlliul waste OF vo-
calism-an extravagant expenditure of musical
talent-and thought that he had better wait till
hard times had left before he asked them not TO
come again. Hardly able to repress the emotion
excited in our bosom by the dirge like air, we dId
wha, many people do when hard up, scratched
our head and commenced singing ourself:
s.Heigho we can but grieve
For the good old days Of Adam and Of Eve"
Just as we concluded the devil came pitching
down stairs to inform Us that there was hardly
enouqh COPY to fill out one column. He also con-
veyed the pleasing information that the roller was
so hard he couldn't take proof the ink was fro
zen hard and couldn't be distributed, and we hard
" know how many other distressing caamites,

We gave him hard look--that is to say, We
looked unutterable ihings--and with an aulhorl
tative wave of the hand, babe the imp retire. He
did retire, murmuring distinctly as he closed ths
door behind him,
"Pull off your coat and roll up your sleeve,
Jordan's a hard road to travel, believe" -
We immediately followed his sdvice and went TO
hard work, which We confidently recommend as
the very best remedy for hard times. Let

HAYrL-The latest dates frun Haytiannounce
that the Emperor Soulouque was not dead. He
was at Cape Haytien gathering force, it was
supposed. To project him on his return TO Port au
Prince against the malcoDtents who might be
supposed to make his late misforunes pretext
for dethroning him. 1t was believed he would
not make any further demonstrations against the
Dominicans. Whether the latter will let him
alone is another question. There had been quite
a plumber Of military executions in the army
Among others, Gen. Toussaint and Gen. Canistre
of Jeremie, and another general from Aux Cages.
The last two are said 10 have been traitors to the
government, and to have been on intimate terms
with some of the leaders of the Eastern people
during several years past. Several other officers
of inferior grade have also been executed.
