In these days when republicans and
the Administration are endeav oring
to do all that is possible to unite the
whole, nation in fraternal bonds, and
making many sacrifices, It is well to
note what democratic journals are
saying. We therefore quote the fpl-i
lowing from the above named JONI tn

spasnl Of hutt1anitarianism Is passing

urged the retention of this mode of

forits restitution. Our 'Pcnitehtiary

sent there for such offehsGs as the lash,
and the lash only will cure, and BY
restoring this Scriptural and humane
punishment, that institution will not
only be relieved, but many suffering
families whose heads have been taken
from them by d cruel law; win be re-
stored to comparative comfort. We
hail This evidence bf returning reason
