A Senator in Atlanta lias introduced
a Bdl in tho Legislature to abolish cap¬
ital punishment ; so th.it wo may look
for the final vie ws of that body on tho
proposed change. No obst rvnnl mao,
who attend t cmtrU, can question tlie
rapid growth of opposition tn this sys¬
tem, which has manih'sted itself during
tho pa.-I few years. Whether this op
put it ion arises Irotn sympathy with
crime, or tender.tess for tlie ctitninab
or bn*atts« of tho hope that a t.cw and
more lenient law would be wiser and
heUet for la»v<breukers find society, re
mains to lie seen. It is argued with
tiiric.li earnestness and plausibility, that
severity el punishment does riot deter
from the commission of^ crime, that the
iiiitiiun heait does not grow belter t r
move law-abiding under tho spectacle
ol public executions, and that the his
tory ol those States and countries wlier^
this fearftl punishment i.- practiced,
cannot be cited to pi me that it les etis

outrag'ous eriminals walk atiinng u-,
utn'onvieted ami uupuoi-hed, so long
will crime not only prevail but increase.
Tlie firm, unwavering execution ol
criminal law, by courts and jurors, is
toe one thing needlul ; and hanging
strikes us still as a most wholesome
law.
