CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

AS has been stated in the Gazette,
a bill has been introduced in the
Virginia Senate by Mr.. Taven-
ner, of Shenandoah, empowering
jures to impose terms Of imprison-
ment in the penitentiary upon per-
sons committing murder The bill
as introduced will be found in full
on The first page of the Gazette.
The patron Of the measure, doubt
less meaning well, calls attention to
the fact that certain states have
abolished capital punishment, and
says we are living in an cage of
reform and mending."
The nunber Of murders in the
State of Virginia shows an annual
average notwithstanding the shadow
Of the gibbet, and when despcradoes
realize that they are liable to es-
CAPE the punishment due their deeds
bv the action Of compassionate jur-
les, the number will surely &c mul-
tiplied
About a decade ago five murders
were committed in the city Of Alex
andria in the period Of one year
Two cases Of human butchers-that
of George n. Curtin and Walter T
Schultz-have subsequently follow
cd.
A long time ago the people Of
western state concluded that capita
punishment was a relic Of 4 harbar
Gus age, and Imprisonment was sub
stituted as the punishment for muir
der. IN Il short time the plumber o
such ofTcnses had multiplied to sucl
an extent as to alarm the people o
that commonwealth, and the Law
was soon restored to the STATUTE
book.
Capital punishment for the crime o
nurdcr was the first law given t
the human race, when the patrlarcl
Noah stepped from the ark.
Those who profess to believe II
revelation should not pose as beln'
wise above that which has been writ
