Ii is rather remarkable. il the statement be
true. that the war Office should have decided to
transmit the confession OF Harold, and the eyi-
dence found on the person of Booth, touching
the Assassination, to Europe, while Withholding
It from the American public. If this evidence
duplicates or establishes the guilt of jefferson
Davis and the other agents and emmisssries OF
the rebellion, It is quite az important that the
fact should be known here as abroad. There
are very many persons, of un9uestioned loyalty
who cannot bring themselves to believe that def
ferson Davis, traitor that be is. or Jacob Thomp-
son, or Beverly Tucker, would participate in, or
be privy TO an act that would cover them with
everlasting personal infamy, brand them with the

Going BACK

Tennessee seems about 10 take the back track
in the matter of punishment for offenses. In all
the other states the people are eIpunging the old
Drsconisn principles from their penal codes. and
making them more in accordance with the teach
ings of christianity. But in Tennessee the ef
fort is to bring back the barbarous penalties Of
pas, ages. and for ths, purpose a bill has been
introduced into the legislature to amend the Grim.
inal laws of the state. 1t is as follows:
Section I. Be IL enacted BY the General As
-embly Of the State Of Tennessee, That who
ever shall feloniously take or steal any horse
mule or ass, shall. on conviction thereof. suffer
death by hanging.
Sec. 2. Be il enGted, Tha, whoever shall
felonio9sly break open the house of another FOL
the purpose of committing a larceny or robbery
therein. shall, on conviction thereof, suffer death
by hanging.
Sec 3 b. il enacted. That whoever shall
fsloniously roo another or steal from their per
son shall, on conviction thereof, suffer death BY
hanging
This sanguinary code, even if adopted in Ten
nessee, will fail to reach the end intended. Thi:
has been the practical result Of extra severe pc
nal codes in other countries and states, and Ten
nessee will not he an exception. Laws which
proportion punishment to the nature of crimes
we'll administered, are the bes, projections to 20
ciety, and this great fact. established by all eI
p~erience, should admonish the people Of Tennes-
see-Philsdelphia Age.

/ believe that the failure thus far of the insur-
rection may be attributed TO three principal causes.
First and most materially, to the failure Of John-

OF Atlanta in the same manner as Lee aud the
eastern army kept Grant out of Petersburg and
Richmond. Secondly. To the imbecility Of the
confederate House OF congIess. Thirdly, and
finally, TO the inherent weakness of President

pulsiveness of Sherman, the soldierly qualities of
Meade, and the yalOr generally of the federal

has been defeated more from the rear than from
the front, snd that nothing but the possession Of
the very highest personal attributes by its com

blow which, according " all human foresight,

dan had been able some few weeks ago 10 get

The Of Evidence.

Ii is not long since we commented on the
remarkable murder trials in London, growing ouI
Of the fracas between Italians and Englishmen
Another chapter in the same curious history re
mains to be added. and the whole account pre-.
sents to American lawyers a very interesting
and noteworthy case. The circumstances before
narrated will be remembered An Italian,
named Pollizioni. was tried and convicted of the
murder of an Englishman. Immediately after
his sentence to death, and while awaiting his eI
ecution. another Italian. named Mogni, deliv-
cred himself TO the authorities, asserting that he
killed the EDglishmsn himself, but under cir
cumstances reducing the crime TO manslaughter
Mogni was Indicted and tried. and on bis triaI
Pollizioni was brought from prison-still under
sentence of desth--snd ned as a witness in
favor OF Nogni. The latter was convicted oI
manslaughter, and sentenced to penal seryitude
for a term OF years.
The striking feature of the case was the ex-
animation of the condemned man as a witness.
But this strange case had not vet come to a con-
clusion. Ii appears that the London police off
GERS were determined If possible to show that
they had not been mistaken in their first accuse.
ton against Pollizioni, especially as several OF
them had given strong testimony TO his identity
IL is asserted that the police determined to make
up the case against him, and devoted their ener-
gies to il. Accordingly, P0llizioni, still under
sculeDCe. iOr the Crowd nau not vet pafQO0e0
him. was placed on trial again, and now for as
sault with inteht to kill upon a man who was
stabbed in the same fray. Here was of course a
strange combination. Two men were lying in
prison, both under sentence for the sa me crime
which il was conceded only one of them could
have committed. For q peculiar feature of the
evidence OH the part of the prosecution had beer
that ouly one Italian was in the room where the
murder and assault were committed. and that the
same man committed both crimes.
On the second trial of Pollizioni, for the minor
offense. Mogni, the other condemned man, was
brought from prison, and testi6ed in favor OF
Pollizi0ni. Mogni declared that be committed
both crimes, and on q rigid cross- examination de-
tailed all the circumstances with such clearness
and accuracy that no doubt remained that he was
speaking truth. He was sustained by a MACS oil
cumulative and circumstsntial evidence, and the
result was the acquittsl of Pollizioni.
These two Iials-in each of which a con.
demned man was the chief witness for the de.
fence, and the witness condemned for substan
tally the same crime for which the accused was
under trial-are believed to have resulted in es
tsblishing the truth, whereas the first trial. in
which NO snch witness was examined, unuuestioD-
ably resulted in the conviction and sentence TO
death of an innocent man. There is something
yet to be learned in the practical working of our
laws of evidence-New York Journal of Com
meTce.
