Besides it is urg¬ ed that this enterprise will furnish a fbdd of useful operations to the 700 convicts in the penitentiary, about whom the question is being gravely asked, vdtutshall be,done with them? If $2,<700,000 can thus he saved toour Ha to, and an important road opened and made useful and profitable, both ns a thoroughfare and ns tin invest¬ ment, we say “let the good work go bravely on " i irn at. immms ti ux r. 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 the number »f gnat ulfetises, or im¬ proves the inmals ot (lie public, we fee! eonvioco l ttmt tin- til i. tint will, ilu> .^>«*< , ftT\Ui*"fri its deice:ive i i ’eiilion So long as high handed and 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. *1 111 I’lM I I- VI 1 A It % .
