Never have I seen, nor do I think there was ever a place where mutual enjoy ment was more manifest than was there that night, every ne seemed to enjoy him or herself aliiitn and peace, good order and dig nity was apparent, throughout. Upon the whole it rctlects gicat credit upon Messrs. Wing.

Carr. t getheifv. ith his ass: ; ant, Mr. J. M . Cohen, both of whom I would commend to the pub lic as being ui quocunqveparatus. Yours truly, MEC. Isn't This True?

May 4th, 1874. Editor Darien limber Gazette: The laws of our own State allow all per sons, charged wiih criminal offenses, to be released ou proper bail. Our laws recog nize only* three classes or grades of crimes. The first, is misdemeanors —punishable with tine or imprisonment in the county jail, or both, in the discretion of the Court. The second, is felonies, and only punishable with imprisonment in the Penitentiary, and the last, known as u felony -punishable with death. The first and second are always bailable, and the.vMinnntting Magistrates are clothed with pi 'rev to determine and receive the amount -if bail, and the sufficiency of the se curities . tendered; but they are always ex pected and required to take none but good and solvent securities. Tiie last, known as lelonics. and punishable with death are only bailable by the Judges of the Superior Courts ot the different counties, and from the pe culiar phraseology ot the statute, the infer ence is clear, that in very extreme cases the discretionary power is taken from him. At any rate, lie is never expected to abnsa that discretion and confidence which the law re poses i ism, but in all cases of such felonies, by 7 virtue of his. office, and the exclusive power v| lin him, must use it cautiously, discvv .fr' ami judiciously. And the very morn-at a judge abuses that power and ev r ! cises that dis •retinn without proper caution mid fore bought, that very moment he stul i tifys th- law, lowers the dignity and Cuu tamiuat.-s th" purity of the judi ual ermine; the fear and awe, which by reason of the se verity ."i the penalty is removed, therefore that discretion should, in all c.es, be wise ly exercised, if at all, and the bail slvoul 1 be | good and solvent, for a criminal turned loose upon a . traw bond, and especially when the | chance., and probabilities of conviction are i I strong, '-ill invariably fly froir justice, and nine times out of ten will never appear for Inal, in which event, he goes unpunished, • and is ihereby encouraged to r* p and th-- of fense—expecting the same lv-cilt.

The Darien Timber Gazette.—The first number of this new and worthy candidate for popular favor, reached us last Sunday, and the well-filled columns and neat typo graphical appearance of the sheet was, to us, a source of great pleasure.

The Gazette is well worthy of liberal pat ronage, and we hope the business men of Darien will appreciate and take advantage of this vehicle of communication with tin pub lic.
