A member of the commission on capital punishment appointed by the New York legislature to report substitute for hanging says that electricity seems to be the most &C., ceptable substitute. Neither prussic acid, nor poison, nor the garrote meet with favor. A few persons advocate the guilotins. The plan advanced is that of an arm chair with metal arms. The condemned person would be seated in the chair, and at the proper mo- ment receive full electric charge through the metallic arms. This would pass straight through his body, across his chest and death would be instantaneous. A dynamo of forty two-horse power would be sufficient to &C., oomplish the work with neatness and dis patch.
