Hard on THE JUVENILES. Tho 81.
GATHERINGS, c. w. Daily journal gives
tho following account of recent
decision Of Canadian magistrate in
that vicinity:
A little boy named James McCuaige,
son of one Patrick McCuaigo, was a
few DAYS since arrested in Thorold,
charged with picking up chips near a
saw mill in that town. The little fell
low was brought before one of the
magistrates, and sentenced to ten days
imprisonment in the Welland goal
This, we think, is over-stepping the
requirements Of justice. To commit
a child of such tender years (l0) to
goal amongst hardened offenders, is
TN act too unchristian to be tolerated
in these days of progress.

The capture of jeff. Davis under
circumstances OF rather Oh unpleasant
character, at least on that occasion,
that is, under petticoGts, and the sub
sequent capture Of Breckenridge con-
stitute the main items of news for the
past week. "What will we do with
them" is the question deeply agitating
the press and the politicians. The
conspiracy trial is making speedy pro-
gress to foregone conclusion as the
following extract from Thursdays tel
egraphic report indicates:
A Washington special says: The
evidence of the guilt of the prisoners
nt the conspiracy trial appears so con-
elusive as to completely check the
current of sympathy in their favor
produced by tho proposed secret trial.
1t is said that the prisoners are warn
ed by their counsel to abandon all
hope. They appear utterly broken
down. Reverdy Johnson takes but
little part in the trial He is prepar-
ing an elaborate argument challeng-
ing the jurisdiction Of the Court.
Judge Bond, of Baltimore, has
charged Grand jury, that persons
sitting in Military Commissions for
the trial Of citizens of Maryland, not
connected with army or navy, are liza
bic to indictment.
Tho new Metropolitan police organ
ization went into operation in Detroit,
on Monday last. The men chosen
seem to be most respectable selec-
ton, and their uniform is decidedly
neat t.l ~

end, progress in reorganization and

What viii be Done With Hilnp
Though the defunct President Of
the ,lefunct Southern Confederacy has
had hardly time since his capture to
change his costume into one betting
his condition, as On illustrious state
criminal, the papers far and wide are
literally boiling over with the subject
Of his proper punishment. Hanging
seems to be very popular remedy,
as Judge Green would say, for the
...sease with which he is afflicted, and
IL some Of these intensely vengeful
ehtors were allowed to prescribe the
dose, Humans gallows compared to
his, would be as a grocer's scale beam
to at gallant yard on q clipper ship,
and the only question would be one
of mechanics, as TO the speedest and
sp;tefulest plan for giving his body
the desired elevation. Time seems to
be regarded also, as all important, and
tho most desirable mode of trial that
which gives the speed;est sentence.
As Ear as jeff. Davis is concerned,
we must say that we care little what
becomes of him. tits scarcely possible
that he will get more than his just
deserts, but in case of the Importance
of this, one which will go down tc
history, as among the most important
of American trials, if its management
is at all equal to the immense respon
sibilities of the hour, we can certainly
SEQ littic occasion for haste, much less
for wrangling and vituperat.on among
the people. After trial by the
Conrts, comes the question of pardon
or repreve, the power Of which is sole
" in the hands Of the President. His
decision will not, at all events it should
not, be influenced by appeals made a
this or any other time, and i, at it :.
hoped, he is in any degree equal t.
the responsibilities of his position
justice and the best interests of hi
country and humanity will govern
him in whatever course he may take
We hope to see justice done, thu
dignity of the government preserved
and such disposition made Of all VIII,

from JEFF. Davis down, as will sures
lead to safety, peace and prosperity 0
the nation. If the Legitimate power
that be, judicial and executive, decid
that to hang one on one hundred i
the wisest plan to bring about such
result, we shall most certainly acqui
esce MS in duty bound, though W
certainly hope for the most mercifu
