To the Editor of the Americda:-
The principal apparent business of the
assembled wisdom" thus far has been to
incorporate Cheese Factories, and to au-
thorise the extension of wharves below
low water mark. Such questions do not
give rise to much debate, and those new
members who learn to distinguish them
selves, are Obliged to move special COM
mittees, or overhaul the Statutes. The
Committees however, are up to their chins
in Bills and orders which they are actually
sorting and shaping for reporting to the
Legislature.
To hang or not to hang" is the great
question which is now pending before the
judiciary Committee, and on which many
distinguished men are to be heard. There
is very general dissatisfaction with the
present law on the subject, the objections
to which were very clearly pointed out in
the Governors address. There is de,
termination to either abolish capital pun
ishment. or to make it stern and sure
think there will be some change though
only after fierce debate.
