Certainty of Punishment.

We commend to our readers the following
extract from Thoughts on Executive Justice,
work published in England in 1875. Its
bearing Is specially pertinent upon mujinous
soldiers and upon such persons as are caught
in any way abetting the rebels
In the days Of Queen Anne during the war
in Flanders, when the Duke of Marlborough
aud Prince Eugene commanded the allied
army, a soldier under the immediate depart
mcnt Of Eugene was condemned to be hanged
for mauradlng. The man happened to be a
tavorite with his officers who took great pains
to save his life; and for this purpose inter
coded with the Prince, who refused absolutely
to grant their request They thea applied to
the Duke Of Marlborough, begging his grace
to interfere. He accordingly went to Prince
Eugene, who said he never did and never
would consent to the pardon of a mauraeder.
Why, said the Duke, at this rate we shall
hang half the army. | pardon great many,
That is the very reason, replied the Prince,
that so much mschiefis done by your people,
and that SO many suffer for doing it. never
pardon any, and therefore there are very few
to be punished in my department. Tie Duke
still urged his request on which the Prince
said = Let the matter be inquired into, and
if your grace has not executed more than [
have done, will consent to the pardon Of
this fellow The proper inquiries were accor-
dinghy made, and the number turned out very
highly III favor Of Prince Eugene on which
he said to the Duke There my lord you
see the benefit of example, You pardon many
and therefore you are forced to execute many
| never pardon one, therefore few dare to
offend, and, of course, but few suffer.
The reasoning which may be drawn from
the above, on the side OF strict discipline, is
not applicable to fleets and armies alone but
to all governments whatsoever. The civil in
terests OF society can not otherwise be protect
ed than by due and certain execution Of the
laws The Marquis Of Bcccaria observes,
very truly, that il less punishment which is
certain, will do more good than Il greater,
which is uncertain
The above anecdote may serve as an illus
tratlon Of that couplct oil seeming paradoxcs,
