Alburgh Springs next mouth. He says;
While it would doubtless prove exceeding

A WHITE RIVER JUNCTION despatch says
petition has been presented TO Governor
Proctor for the pardon Of Henry Babcock
of Pomfret, who was, in December last, SEN
fenced by the Windsor County Court TO a
term of six years in the Vermont State
Prison for the alleged crime OF setting fire to
his mill buildings for the purpose of obtain
ing insurance thereon, amounting to 81 900.
The petition is based on the consideration
that prior to his arrest for committing the
crime imputed to him Mr.. Babcock had al
ways sustained an unblcmished reputation
and was Justly esteemed to be a worthy and
exemplary citizen, earnestly working for the
maintenance of law and order, and generally
contributing to whatever was promotive OF
the public good; furthermore, that the crime
imputed TO him was not commensurate to the
extreme penalty imposed upon him. The
petition was signed by every one of the jury
men who composed the panel before whom
Mr.. Babcock was tried, nearly every member
of the Windsor county bar, and many of the
most prominent citizens of Windsor county,
including two directors of the insurance
company in which Mr.. Babcock's buildings
were insured.
Here is a new recital of the plea put for
ward for every respectable" criminal and
against which We desire TO enter our strong
est protest That this Babcock had good
reputation prior to the crime and was an in
telligent, energetic citizen makes his offence
more criminal and increases his guilt instead
Of lessening it. Whether or not the crime
was commensurate with the punishment is a
question that may well be left to the judge
who sentenced him. 1t is a question upon
which he may possibly differ from the pris-
oner's friends and the gang of sentimentalists
who champion every criminals cause, from
cold blooded murderers like John p. Phair
and Chastine Cox down to robbers and prop
ertv-burners; but nevertheless his opinion
may be quite as valuable as theirs. The lat
ter always look at the sentence of their ''un-
fortunate friend as did the old lady on that
Of her Maynard son-''Six years in the
State Prison! Why, he won't be contented
there six weeks" We believe in the enforce
ment of the laws and the punishment OF
criminals: and We fail to see why distinc
ton should be made between an ignorant
lrishman who gets twenty years in the State
/ Prison for arson and the educated, intelli
| gent leader among his townsmen who gets six

AN ORDER ISSUED ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
Boynton's History of West Point" gives
the following order issued by General Wash
ington one hundred years ago. If it were
made general order for all classes to-day,
il would be we'll:
HEADQUARTERS MooRE's HOUSE,
WEST PoINT, July go, 1879.
Many and pointed orders have been issued
against that unmeaning and abominable Gus
tom of swearing, notwithstanding which,
with much regret, the General observes that
it prevails, if possible, more than ever his
feelings are continually wounded by the
oaths and imprecations of the soldiers when
ever he is in hearing of them.
The name of that Being from whose boun-
tiful goodness we are permitted to exist and
enjoy the comforts of life, is necessarily i'm
precated and profaned in a manner as wan
ton as it is shocking For the sake, there
fore, of religion, decency, and order, the
General hopes and trusts that officers of
every rank will use their influence and
authority to check a vice which is as I'M
profitable as it is wicked and shameful.
If officers would make it an unavoidable
rule to reprimand, and. if that does not do,
punish soldiers for offences of this kind, it
could not fail of having the desired effect.
