ment, there can be no possible
doubt that certainty OF punish
ment has such force If anything
has. A large amount of crime is
unquestionably traceable to the
belief that almost any punishment
no matter how severe, can DO
evaded or avoided through the
laws delays or chicanery, and that
if worst comes to worst Executive
clemency can be secured; and 1t
is a melancholy fact that those who
administer and execute the laws
have done far too much in encourage
ing this belief. 1t is a good sign
therefore, when we find that the
belfry murder, besides awakening
the advocates of the rope, has
awakened new interests also in the
matter of certain punishment.
How much there has been OF
uncertainty in this regard was well
shown few days since at meet
ing of the Massachusetts, Society
for aiding Discharged Convicts.
One of the speakers before the
meeting produced the pardon
statistics for the past twenty years,
from which it appears, that in one
year, of 102 criminals sentenced
to the State Prison, fifty-four were
pardoned out, while in other years
the per centage Of pardons to
sentences had been thirty-seven,
thirty-five, eighteen and nineteen,
and in only one year as low as
eight. Nor is Massachusetts, the
only State in the Union where the
psrdoning power has been lavishly
exercised. In New York and
Pennsylvania the showing would
undoubtedly be quite as strong as
that given above, while Michigan
is little if any behind.
The necessity Of doing something
to check this indiscriminate par
doning, and thereby giving to pun
ishment greater element of GER
ta;nty, is beginning to be strongly
felt and has already induced
radical change in the pardoning
system in some of the States. In
Pennsylvania, under the new Con-
the pardoning power is
no longer vested in the Governor
only, but in Board Of PardoDs,
upon whose recommendations
alone can Executive clemency be
exercised. Under the rules which
this Board has adopted, notice of
for pardon must be
published in the city or county
where conviction was had, and the
Judge before whom the case was
tried and the district attorney who
tried it must both be notifi0d.-
The reason upon which the apph-
cation is based are to be presented
10 the Board and any application
10 individual members is forbidden.
In this way the element of sym
patby is excluded and an oppor-
II nifty afforded for weighing the
lain O. society as well as that Of
The con yicts. That the introduce
ion Of substantially similar sys-
.em in every State Of the Union
would be productive Of great good
there cln be no question.-Fce

SAVANNAH. Mo, April I. =:

ED. kEPUELICAN:- Among the
many who have recently yielded to
the better impulses OF their nature
who could not afford to be obstinate
any longer. have the pleasure to re-
cord the na,nc of my friend Nicholas
kirtley, our County Treasurer.
The pleasant affair took place at
the residence of Mr.. William Scots,
two miles north Of Flag Springs, i'll
this county, on Thursday, the 18th
inst.
The bride, Miss Annie Scott, is as
amiablc, is she is graceful and intel
ligcnt, and just the person to make
Irresistible inr0ads upon a stubborn
and obduratc heart, and just the one
to make q bachelor feel that he ought
10 have yielded to such charms ear
lier in life. The marriage ceremony
was performed by Elder Cote, and
was brief but impressive.
At precisely half past Z O'Clock, all
were seated around one of the most
elegantly served suppers spread for
such an occasion. Everything that
heart could wish. or appetite suggest
was served in III most sumptuOus
and approved s:yle. Then came the
usual teiC feic. until the wee small
hours Of night.
The Flag Springs Cornct Band dis
cOurscd some of it's sweetest music
during the evening; and indeed we'll
may Flag Springs and its vicinity feel
proud of their atrainmcnts. Your
readers will remember that this band
is i'll its infancy, having been Organiz-
ed not quite six months. and its al
most unprecedented progress under
the leadership Of Prof. Dugan OF this
city, is almost q miracle.
The invited guests we're few. and
yet enough present to pass the even
ing plcasantlv. Among those present
we noticed Mr.. and Mrs. VIII Scott,
Mrs. Samuel Scott, Mr.. and Mrs. a.
I!ufiakcr, Misses Caddic, Ella and
Cora Kirtlcy, Miss Annie Simpson,
Miss Matte Immersion, Miss Medley
Boylcs. Miss Alice Scott, James and
Thomas Gibson, G. kirtley and J. a.
Sanders, from Savannah.
On the morning following, the
bride and groom, in company with
relatives and friends, reached the
home OF Mr.. hirtley in time to be
congratulated by their numerous
friends and again be refreshed by one
of those good old Kentucky dinners,
that none but Kentucky mothers
know how TO sH~nerintcnd.
shall always regret that | did not
retain my scat at that table another
hour; everybody present might have
done 50. and then there would have
been sufficient left for q colony of
Kansas sufferers.
Mr.. and Mrs. kirtley will remain
at the residence of our fellow-t0wns-
man j. y. Sanders, Esq, until ar
engagements are perfected for house
keeping.
With many others we can only
wish them their full share Of ~unalloy-
cd happiness i'll life's journey.
