the least OF It, that II ought not to be so con-
sidered to-day. We take it for granted thai
the words cruel and unusual have not an al
Tentative value but that both qualities must
be combined in penalty to render it unconSu-
tutionaI The unusualness of electrical eNccll-

Il cannot be said that, since nobody can come TO
life IN tell what he suffered while dying. no in
formation on the subject can exist. Persons
are now living through whose bodies currents
powerfuI enough. theoretically, to have killed
them have passed, and who are prepared to
testify that a law which had subjected them
to such fortunes as they then and subsequently
endured would have been quite as cruel as ii
was unusual. We do not wish to be under
stood as saying that such testimony Will be held
to be convincing by the courts, or that final
decision adverse 10 il would not be satisfactory,
but the point is most interesting one, and it
il sure to be supported by ingenious and power
fnl arguments. Moreover. if the law should
be declared valid in principle, there is at pres
ent no proof that it can be successfully applied
in practice.
And this suggests the second obstacle which
must be overcome before the first experiment
under the law can be tried The clause which
forbids the newspapers to publish anything tur-
Their than bare statement that the penalty was
inflicted at a certain place and time upon
certain convict if not an unconstitutional is at
least a very serious inroad upon the liberty

The people OF this State through their repre-
sentatives have enacted. or, 10 speak more en-
actly. the representatives Of the people have
enacted in their behalf novel law, which may
prOve ~ be either model for all the world TO
initiate or a tragcal failure. l. IS Of the high
est Importance that the people should learn
promptly aud fully the plain facts OF its opera

THE pLSTOL IN LIE SOUTH.


The CARRYING Of concealed weapons is attract
ing renewed attention in the South. Savan-
nah Judge the other day in converting court
denounced this evil custom and called for the
punishment Of yiolators Of the law. This de-
mand is re-echoed by The Charleston News
and Courier" which gives some interesting
statistics regarding the non enforcement Of the
law in South Carolina. An act WAS passed III
1880. which was undoubtedly "A fairly good

county clerks Of the State for the number Of

Seventeen counties. or about onc-halt ot Those

show "A very small number Of convictions FOR

somewhat uncertain by the fact that three

saws that the vote IS expected to be light. That

the Prohibitionists, though their ardor has been
