On Thursday the Assembly at Albany
passed the bill abolishing capital puniah-
ment, to the apparent surprise Of some Of
the newspapers.
Despite the greatness Of tho majority,
the vote standing "A to 80. there are In
situations that sinister influences oper-
ated In favor OF the measure. But there Ia
no reason Whatsoever TO suppose that such
was the case. The long delay and possible
failure OF Justice In the case Of KEMMrRR,
and tho growing conviction Of the uncer-
tainty Of the application Of capital punish
ment to fnurderers. are inducing causes
altogether sufficient to explain the result.
or those voting with the majority, So are
Democratic and Il Republicans, and OF the
minority, 10 are Democrats and II Republi-
cans. The bill, therefore, passed by an I'M
partisan vote. 1t was treated, as 1t should
have been treated, az o measure wholly out
side Of politics, and the majority included
the very best mon in the Assembly. It is
also q measure which has been long be-
fore che Legislature. More than . month
ago Gen. CURTIS, its author. made o strong
speech In It's behalf, while the events OF the
last week have directed the attention Of every
intelligent man to the subject. 30 that tho
sentiment In favor Of the change proposed
was sure to increase and grow to aKed con-
viction at Albany. The substitution OF cleo
tricity for hanging as the means OF admin
istering the death penalty, on the recon-
mendation Of o Commission OF amateurs,
went through the Legislature OF 1883 In
great haste. and without anything ap-
preaching adequate discussion, though IL
involved q complete and untried innova-
ton on civilized practice. 1t was passed
with an inconsiderate rush.
Something like forty years ago the
whole question OF the utility Of capital
punishment as a means Of deterrinG from
the crime OF murder was thoroughly
discussed, perhaps more particularly on
the sentimental side; but recently, and
since the development Of penoloHy - q
