THE DEATH PENALTY.

In another column will be found second commu-
nication from an. B." on the Death Penalty. we
must make short work with an. b." We differ from
him, for these reasons:
l. lie would hang only where there is no doubt OF
guilt. But murder is almost always perpetrated in
secret, md with much precaution to prevent dis
coyerv. It il rare that the crime can be brought home
to the criminal so clearly as to preclude doubt; since
even tose who have confessed themselves murderers
have alerward been proved innocent Plainly, Nj. b.
would give prisoner at bar the benefit OF doubt II
he wen to be hung if found guilty, when he would
bring lin in guilty if the penalty were imprisonment
for life He thnk-our view tends to screen the muir
derer We retort the charge on him, and cite HIM as
our fist witness. And, as it is notorious that there
are ol murders for each conviction, this is grave
mattq. Certainty of punishment is more essential
than severity
III. The relative efficacy of his favorite penalty and
ours no longer a matter of abstract speculation.
Some nations and some States take life for crime;
othersdo not We hold it proved by statistics that
KILN, by law increases crime We are ready to ap-
peal % the statistics.
III. Ifevery murderer of the last ten years were
subjected to the penalty prefer we believe 1t would
be wd to take every child once to see them under
goingthc penalty OF the law. NJ. j. admits that he
wou not ike to have his penalty inflicted in plain
sightof ALL We submit that this is bad for his argu-
ment
! ~ Our chief reason for impri5oning murderer
for lie is to restrain him from committing more crime.
imprisonment is the strait jacket Of the morally in
| sane. He who cannot withhold his hands from MUIR
der ould have them carefully secured against further
mischief OF course, this involves priyaton, suiieG'
ing ,unishmont and il is ;ale law of the universe
that he wrobgdoer shall nAct on himself the evil he
designs for others. And, if there be danger that he
will Kill again, the murderer ought to ask the com
munty to lock him up.
V NJ. B. AYERS that criminals have "brutal in
stnts." So we think. Let us not stimulate these In
stnts but seek to overcome them Let us iniiict nc
penaties which we should dread 10 have our children
see Inflicted; let US not be brutal even in dealing
witlfhe brutal but try to overcome evil with good.
-this must suffice for to-day.

The letters we publish to-day on Canadian matters
will be found interesting. 1t will take most people
by surprise TO learn that there has been recently some
lining Ike Ministerial crisis in Canada, arising out
of the opposition provoked by Mr.. Galts free trade
policv. motion of want of confidence in the Gov
eminent, proposed by the principal opponent OF inc
present Ministry, has been negatiyed, prudential
reasons weighing with the majority voting against
the motion. who are Of opinion that on the eve
of confederation it would be impotic to over
,hroV lie existing Government. SO strong however,
has been the pressure from without in favor Of protec
ton for Canadian industry, that Mr. Gait has been
compelled to modify bis free trade scheme in some
very material points in order to insure the success Of
his financial measures for the next year. From the
demonstrations which have been made against the
new tariff proposed By Government, it is. clear
that the people of Canada are not pre-
pared to adopt the free trade policy OF
the mother country. Exceptional circumstances
may enable the present Ministry to retain Office in
spite Of the free trade predictions of the Premier
but to Judge from the tone of the Canadian press in
general, aud from the opposition shown to Mr.. Calls
policy by the mercantile and manufacturing interests
of Canada it seems clear to that after the present
abnormal state of things in relation to the Govern

The scene in the House of Representatives yester-
day, concerning the admission of Tennessee, is nsig
nifcant compared with the announcement that the
State has adopted the Constitutional Amendment,
notwithstanding Mr. Johnson's express declaration
that he was opposed to it, and the stubborn efforts Of
the minority in the Tennessee Legislature to defeat
it. To us it seems unnecessary and unfortunate that
the Union party in the House should have divided so
hastily the question of the admission of Tennessee
and that the Democrats should have been made the
arbiters. To-day the main question will be discussed
and, we hope, with more deberation. Let Tcnues-

Gen. Sherman who, like Carlyle, atirms that there
is too much speech-making, has repeatedly proved
that so far as he is concerned there is too little. His
address at the commencement of Dartmouth College
yesterday of which we print full report, ought to
shake his faith in the proverb that speech is silver
and silence golden. That the debates in Congress
rarely change a single vote of the members can be
easily believed without the authority Of Mr.. Chase
but that they mmeasuraby influence the popular vote
is not to be doubted Perhaps Gen. Sherman is wrong
in supposng that Congress would do well to legis-
late with as little debate as possible, for
the discussion of tho principles of a measure
is often far more important than the measure itself
We not however, disposed TO argue this incidental
question: after reading Gen. Shermans very pleasant
speech which is at once autobiography and counsel.
Probably as he quoted the encouraging advice of Mr.
Pettigrew, the young men who graduated yesterday
will in future years refer to him. His words of counsel
are those of a soldier, practical and pointed, and what
he says of himself has the finest elements of modesy
candor aud application to the subject. He has shown
how his apparently insignificant travels during his
youth, proved to be during the Rebellion q prepare
ton for his services to the country, but he might
have added that what he remembered
from his early wanderings in the
swamps of South Carolina, and the mountains of
Chattanooga, most men would have forgotten. His
whole history, and that of every great man. shows
that it is not circumstances that make true success
but the power of the Man to use them.
