Correspondence OF the Baltimore sun
BRESTsvILLg, VA, November II, 1872.
On the reGsscmhling Of court (at $3.50 =.
NJ on Saturday General Payne submitted
lengthy motion involving the following two
propositions: First. That the court, in the
administration Of its sound discretion, should
exclude private counsel for the prosecution
from all participation in the conduct of the
case. Second. That, if admitted, the court
should 81 direct the parts Of counsel as to
give the defence au opportunity to reply to
the arguments Of associate counsel for the
prosecution.
General Payne based the request for the
first proposition upon the position that since
1850 the Commonwealth's attorney has been
constitutional officer in Virginia, and that
the powers bestowed upon him by the regIi-
larly authorized authority cannot be delega-
ted to another. This point has never been
carried before the Court Of Appeals and
finally adjudicated, hence there are no re-
corded authorities to sustain the motion. He
cited Judge Lucas =. Thompson, in Chris.

CAPITAL PUSISHMENT.-The question OF
capital punishment has excited much com"
ment and discussion. The effect OF Its abo-
lition in Iowa does not seem to give satiStac-
ton in that State. The Northern Iowa Synod
of the Presbyterian Church. at its late session
in Dubuque, passed resolution declaring
that the. action of the last Legislature III
abolishing capital punishment and substl-
tuting therefor Imprisonment for life was
hastv aud unwise, and recommending TO all
Christian people that petitions be circulated
looking to the restoration Of the law US 1t
formerly stood. Their action has been in
dorscd by most OF the leading Journals OF tnc
State, one of which, the Waterloo Journal.
states that, since the repeal of the death pen
atty. only six months ago, the increase in The
ratio Of crime has been enormous, and t'Iis
fact, coupled with the interpretation OF the
law by the courts in the cases Of captal
lelonS, hasaIready created in some places de
termination to resort to Lynch law, and adj
minister unauthorized vengeance.

Fires have been much facilitated of late by
the boxed.up way from cellar to attic for the
passage Of dumb-waiters or elevators in
large warehouses Or hotels. In the Boston
fire the flames started 10 the basement Of q
large warehouse and climbed up the way of
the dumb-waiter TO the roof, and there de-
yeioped themselves, TO the establishment of
those who gase the alarm. These perpen-

MINORITY REPRESENTATION IN ILLINOIS
The election returns from the Legislative
districts in Illinois already indicate that the
minority representation plan of voting: as
applied to Representatives, ila: given ~ .ne
minority much larger and fairer represen.
tation than the old system of voting still re-
lined in ballotns for Senators. IT, as Is
probable, the Republicans have carried
ihirty-onc districts and the Liberals twenty,
and this proportion held as to the house,
the latter would stand 90 Republicans TO 6O
Liberals. Under the plan Of minority rep
resentation the House will probably be d.
yidcd into about 50 Republicans and II Lib
erals, which will be much closer approx
nation to the proportionatc vote of the two
parties in the State. It is entirely probable,
however, that this result is rather cue 10 the
recognition of the new system by party con-
yent;ous than to any intelligent application
OF the part OF individual voters.- Chicago

MAJOR JED HoTcHKIss OFF TO ENGLAND
Yesterday morning Major Jed Hotchkiss, of
this place, left on the eastern train to spend
several months in England, where he will,
by lectures and otherwise, make known to
That people something of the vast undeyel-
oped mineral, manufacturing, and agricul-
tural resources of the State Of Virginia. We
hope that his visit to that country may have
the effect of Introducing capital and immi-
grants into this State. Major Hotchkiss is
as well acquainted with the character of the
undeveloped resources OF this State as any
Que, and is well qualified to make them
known. For the information of such as may
desire to communicate with Major Hotchkiss
during his visit to England we will state
that his address will be Junior Carlton

SOUTHERN GIRLS FOR GREELEY.-In testi-
monv Of the sorrow felt for the defeat Of
Greeley many of the pupils at the Augusta
Female Seminary, representing all portions
Of the South, voluntarily arrayed themselves
in black When the news became known here.
Notably among the number was the lovely
daughter Of a Radical Ex-Governor Of our
southern States who had eXerted his intlu-
euce for the reelection Of Grant. These
young ladies thus evince that they wisely
prefer a Union blessed with peace and con-
citation to one cursed with discord and
esirangcment, and show by the choice they
would make that they themselves deserve to
be chosen.-StduntOn Spectator.

planation that she had been called to Eau
quier county to attend the funeral rites OF q
relative, and was prevented from returning
by family reasons.
It was ordered that the attachment against
her be dismissed, but as her detention from

could control, she was not allowed to testify
now when the case for the prosecution Is
closed, though, in reply to query OF coun-

Major Mcnifee, of counsel for prosecution,
proposed that the court should instruct the
Jury upon the principles of law involved 10
the case before the arguments were begun,
and handed the bench a draft of such IN
