BARBAROUS LEGISLATION.

There lies upon the table In the As
sembly bill which We hope will con-
tinue to lie there until it dies the death
of the unworthy and the unjust. The
distinctive characteristic of it is its
"motivelo3s malignity" toward
everybodys pet aversion, John China
man. 1t places the power within the
hands of Justices of the Peace to in
flict upon poor john, as peculiar
punishment for his small larcenies,
the disgrace lin the eyes of his fellow
countrymen), of clipping off his hair.
Now we confess that we are inclined
to share the popular belief that the
baser sort of Cinnamon, as a class, are
incorrigible thieves; and they incur
the penalty Of their larcencrs propen-
sity by having shifted to their should
ers the pilferings of their vicinage !;
and they are the scapegoat OF large
multitude of small promiscuous dep
redators, irrespective of race, color or
previous conditions. But this attempt
TO plague these least trusted OF our
thieves with SO emphatic
brand as this hair cutting, strikes US
as q needless retrogression toward the
dark confines of barbarism, The prin-
ciple Of malignity or the show Of intol-
erance or bad temper is noi ,dmiss;-
BILE into our framework of statutory
Those pests of the CON-
munity, petty thieves, are not entitled
o much mercy At the hands Of the
aw: but such penalties as are dealt
