Washington, Jnne 19.—The Senate re
mained in session all night. The Demo-
rotb on the army bill to-day, and the
night was passed in roll calls and at
tempts to compel the attendance of ab
sent Senators. ; ,
At an early hour this morning an ex-
eited personal controversy took place be
tweenConkling and Lunar, in whioh La
mar orouounced a statement of Conkling’e
* falsehood; one whioh he said he repell
ed with all the unmitigated contempt that
ha felt for the author of it.
Cockling, in answering him, Bald that
»the member from Mississippi imputed
or intended to impute falsehood to him,
nothing except the feot that this was the
Smats would prevent his denouncing him
a. a blackguard, coward and liar.
Lamar replied that the Senator under
stood him correctly. He begged pardon
of the Senate for unparliamentary Un
cage and said it was harsh. It was ae-
rere. It was such as no good man would
deserve and no brave man would wear.
The discussion of the power of the Sen
ate to Bend for absent Senators was re
amed. The motion of Burnside to com-
the attendance of absentees having
Uen agreed to the Sergeant-at-Arnss, at
9.45 a. m., proceeded to the execution of
the order.
At 11:50 Mr. Withers made a parlia
mentary inquiry. It was, whether if the
Benate adjourn now, the legislative day
of Touraday would commence at noon.
The chair responded in the affirmative
and, on motion of Mr. Withers, the Sen
ate adjourned nnd reassembled at noon.
The chair Btated that owing to the
length of the previous eeaBion the Journ
al was not completely made up and sug
gested that the reading thereof be dis
pensed with. .....
Hr. Cootliog objected and insisted on
the observance of the rule,which provides
that the first business is the reading of
the journal.
Davis, of West Virginia—I take it—
Conkling (interrupting)—I object to
all debate. .
Too Chair said the reading of the j our-
nal could not be dispensed with except
by unanimous consent.
At 1:30 the Republicans aro engaged
in parliamentary tactics to prevent action
of all kinds.
la the House McMahon (Ohio) sub
mitted a confer?n-e report upon tno ju
dicial expenses bill, (under the report
Section 52 of the bill will prohibit read
ing of any contract or incurring of any
liability under any of the provisions of
title 26 of RrviVd Statutes, authorizing
the appointment or payment of general
or special deputy marshals for services
in connection with elections or on eleo-
ttonday.) The reports ia under discus
sion.
Hr. Monroe, of Ohio, one of the con
ferees on the pirt of the Hon9e, explained
the reason of his opposition to the report
and in answer to Cox expressed his in
tention to va’.o against it.
Ur. Cox himself intimated that he
would do the same, but for a different
reason. Then .Garfield made a strong
apeeeb, laying down the Republican pot-
ioy on the questions, arguing that the
bill was a nullification of law—that it
placed the President in an attitude where
he must either observe his oath and exe
cute the laws, and thereby snbjeot him
self to impeachment, or must violate bis
oath and oonsoienoe. Ho President
would allow himself to be put in snoh an
attUadc, and therefore, said he, in oon-
olnsion, “Farewell to all prospects of
home. TFe stay ”
This declaration was greeted with sp-
plausa on the Republican side.
Springer replied to Garfield, and de
clared f the President vetoed this bill he
would pnt bimaelC in the attitude of de
fying the majority in Congress, and da-
maadiog of that mejority to do what was
wrong They would no: do it. Navet!
(Jeering remarks on the Rspntl o*n side
of' whuff Never r)
MsHanonsmtaiaed the report against
tbs argument of Gaifirld, and provoked
derisive jeers of the Republicans by allu
sion to the President a» “Jit* Fraudu-

The judge then eaid as the jury had
?ot agreed they would have to retire for
iurther consideration.
. M ten minutes after eleven o’clock the
W again came into conrr, and in reply

Washington, Jnne 19.—In the Senate
the fillibustering by the Republicans was
continued until after 2 o’clock, when the
chair eaid that after the expiration of the
morning hour, he should haveancounc -d
the resumption of the consideration of tho
army appropriation bill; and did so now,
Mr. Carpenter, of Wisconsin, being en

London, June 19.—The leading article
in the Times to-day, taking for its tixt
the speech made by Sir Stafford North-
cote at a banquet last night,says there are
indications on all sides cf the approach
of a great electoral struggle. Tho momen
tous questions of foreign policy whioh
have oocupied the mind or the country
daring the paBt few years aro rapidly
approaching eolation for good or harm.
When the time comes for tho Eoglieh peo
ple to Bay how her ministers have dis
charged their trust, they will not fail to
bear in mind the difficulties the govern
ment have bad to encounter, as vjell as
their method of dealing with them.
It is premature, as the chancellor of
the exchequer intimated, to; form a final
judgment now on tne whole case, but it
is also evident from bia epeecb, that the
Ministry feel that the moment for pro
nouncing each judgment is not far off.
The article atio refers to tho recent Al
exandrian dispatch which stated that the
French Consul General was abont to pro
ceed to the palace end announce that the
French government bad decided to insist
upon the deposition of the Khedive, and
eays it is cot to be supposed that the
French government would hava taken
stops of such importance without the
consent or acquiescence of oar own gov
eminent, and if it has been taken at all,
we have entered upon a new and vary
critical stage of the Egyptian question.
Bsblin, Jane 19.—In the Reichstag
to-day Heir Dilbrouok presented and filed
an interpellation io regard to the gov
ernment discontinuing the coinago or
diver. He said it was neoessary to clear
ly define tae situation and particularly, as
in the debates of the British Parliament,
the question whether Germany intended
to modify the law fixing the gold stand
ard, whioh had been treated as an open
ore.
Prince Bismarok replied that he Idid
not koo<* -he views cf the Federal Gov
ernment, but Do bimooit did not think it
expedient nonPoeBaarily to oommit httn-
eelico an expreauo i ol opinion upon a
question of snoh moment.
He thought the interpellations had not
been well considered bat the treating mat
ter from a bnsiness point of view he could
assure the House that neither the feder
al council nor Prussian ministry, had
mooted the question of the modiScstion
of the gold standard. Too law suspend
ing silver sales was < be measure of I’lpi--
dieney adopted, p»vimg an increase of
value. Any doubt respecting the sta
bility of ths German coiuage legislation,
was wholly un-arranted. Hehad never
discussed the question with the minister
of finanfle. The gentleman from whom
Lord'Odo Bussell, the British Ambassa
dor,bad derived bis inforroaiion that “the
German government is progressing to
introdneo and adopt a doable eteu-
dard m is France, must have been beta
ter informed than the Imperial Govern*
ment. The President of the Imperial.
Bmk, addressing tho House, said the
government had already lost by its sales
of silver 92 J million maiks. Herr Bam
berger stated that the deputies who in
troduced the interpellation (ho was one)
had done so because of tne report of
Lord O Jo Russell. The President of the
Imperial Bank replied that Lord Bassell
was not informed as to the intentions of
the government.

VzasAiLLms, Jane 19.—The eongress
of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies
Found Gcidtt.—After seven days’
tmi uud tho Herculean effort, of a pow
erful array of connsel for tbedefenBe, the
anforinnate Samuel H. Hill haB been
adjudged guilty of mnrder, with the re
oommendation that he be eent to the
penitentiary for life. This verdiot does
not anrprise ns. True, a man should be
justified for punishing unto death the
base invader and destroyer of bis domes
tic peace and happiness. But it was
clearly shown by the evidenoe in this
oase that the wife was a wanton, fre
quenting the lowest dene cf infamy,
dressed in men’* apparel, and in the
company of lewd fellows.. Moreover,
that she even threw off the panoply ef
her hnmand’s name, and took a fancy
soubriquet.
tio attempt was even made to assert
her innocence of the direst sin that can
stain the life of man or woman. Indeed,
even the husband admitted it, whilst
clinging still with mandlin tenderness to
the woman who had dishonored him.
■Vhat excuse, then, can be urged for the
rheddieg of blood, not in behalf of in-
jared innocence,but established guilt. Be-
treeu tho two oases the line is a, well de
fined as darkness from light, and the dis
tinction as wide-as ths poles are asunder.
We clip the following from the Atlanta
Pott: t .- . -,.j „ V 7
At 8:25 f. ii. Jadga Hilly er began to
deliver bis charge,' whioh was a wail pro-
pared end carefully written exposition of
the law.
The oonrt: than topi a reoe»a of ten
minutes at the expiration of whioh time
the jury returned and the foreman an
jnoimeed that they were wlihin two votes
of a verdict, and requested the Judge to
read over again oartam paragraphs in the
obarge. r .....
Tne snspenso was only of short dura
tion. The spectators waited with bated
breath for the verdiot whioh . they knew
was oomiog, for the charge of the oonrt
had left little donbt bb to wbht the re
sult must be. - --U it.:.
At forty minntoa to midnight the jury
returned with the following verdiot:
‘We, the jnry, find the prisoner guilty of
murder and recommend that he be pun
ished by confinement in the penitentia
ry for life:”
The prisoner received the verdiot in ei-
lent resignation. Mrs. Hill sat as it
transfixed, her bead leaning on her hus
band’d bosom, his arm enoircliog her
waist. '
The opinions of the people on the ver
diot are variously expressed. Some de
nounce it in strong terms wnile others
commend it as strongly. Some say that
the verdict will have the effect of giving
a lioeneo for the destroyer to violate the
tacoiity of home, and to invade without
restraint tbe purity of any household.
Others say that the safety of human life
and tbe preservation of tbo law deman
ded this verdiot.
There will bs a motion for a new trial
promptly made by the connsel for tho de
fense, and tbe case, should such newtrial
be refused, taken on to - tho Supreme
Conrt. It ia ouo involving a very im
portant principle, and one that needs the
most complete eittlementat the hands
of that court.
Human Bones Uneabthxd.—Atlanta
Dispatch: This morning the workmen
engaged in making tbe excavation tor
Governor Brown’s new block came upon
lot of bones, which proved to be those
of hnmana. There were many specula
tions by tbe multitude who gathered
around them all tho morning as to whose
bones they were and how they camo there.
The most reasonable supposition is that
they are probably ths remains of some
soldiers buried there daring the war.
The bones were of two men, the smaller
giving every evidenoe of haying died
from or daring tbe amputation of tbo
left arm neftr tne shoulder. The remains
can be seen at Dr. Westmoreland’s office.
A pair of shoo heels was the only part of
tbe paraphernalia that had stood the test
of time and the mould of the grave.
The same paper says: Ail the regU.

Election Indictments Quashed.—
The Chronicle and Sentinel eta tea that in
the Superior Conrt the case of the State
versns sundry individuals all oolored,
who were oharged with swearing at the
reoent election for Ordinary that they
had paid all taxes required of them by
law, when such was not the case, was
called.
Davenport Jackson Eiq., counsel for
the defendants, demurred to the indict
ment npon a cumber of grounds. Fust,
Because the indlotment did not allege
that the proceeding in whioh the alleged
false oath was taken wae a “judicial
tribunal.” Secondly, Because the in*
diotment failed to allege that a lawful
oath was administered to tha defend
ants. nor did it appear upon tha faoa of
the indictment that the oath adminUUrei
was a lawful oath. Thirdly, Because
there was no charge in the indlotment
that the person who administered the
oath had the authority by law to doeo.
Fourthly, Because there waa a misjoinder
of offenders and offenses. The demurrer
was sustained by the Oonrt and the in
diotment quashed, the Court basing iU
deoision upon the omission ia tho Indiet-
ment of the allegation that the oath ad
ministered waa a lawful one, and second
ly because of the misjoinder of offenders
and offenses.
Doubtless Sambo, instigated by bis
whito Radical aaanipnlatora or otherwise,
will “try it again.”

At a meeting after the distribution of

A Genxbous Oms.—The Americns
Recorder says :
Superintendent W. G. Baonl, of the
S. W. B. R., has written to Miss Mary C.
Cranberry, Secretary of the Ladies’ Me
morial Association, to tbe effect that if
she will notify him of the time of the
removal of the Oonfedefate dead from
Andersonville he will furnish the neces
sary transportation free of eharge, and
will also famish free passes to those hav
ing the matter in charge. This is very
generonB on the part of the railroad, and
on behalf of the ladies we return thanks
for their kindness.
There are many who assume to say

A Noble Roman,—Our indefatigable
State School Commissioner, G. J. Orr, L.
L. D., is doing a noble work in the canse
of education in almost every county in
the State, The Athens Watchman says:
On Friday night last Hon. H. J. Orr,
Stale School Commissioner, delivered
an admirable address at Denpree Hal),
to a very respectable andience of our
citizens, on the snbjcct of onr common
school system, the adoption of the Mof
fett bell pnnch and the passage of a dog
law. He made a strong, masterly argu*
ment in favor of the adoption of a system
of pablio schools, and was listened to
with marked attention.
We Thought it was a Mistake.—The
Bame- paper says: It is very provoking
to have glaring mistakes creep into a
newspaper when all care is taken to pre
vent them. This was the case with ns
last week, when a friend called our atten
tion to the fact that we had published an
item in the TFafekman stating that Hon.
A. B. Jackson, of .Oconee oonnty, bad
harvested 106 bushels of wheat from one
acre of land. It should have been print-
ed oatB instead of whoat. Mr. J. informs
us, however, that he did harvest forty-
seven bushels and three pecks of wheat
from one sere. This we consider a fine
yield iteelF, bat 106 bushels is unreason
able.

Beeach of Pbomise.—Tho Crawford-

and wanted him to sno “dat feller for
promisin’ de breeches.” We spppose tbe
case will be brought, that tbo prosecu
ting attorney will be prepared with an
eloquent appeal to tbe jary for summary
damages to pnnish that fickle swam.
A Co emotion.—The Butler Herald
announces that tbe statement that seven

The Suioidb Mania.—Enquirer-Sun:
What ate the people coming to? Yes
terday reports of attempts atsaioide were
rife, and investigation proved that in
three cases they were correct. Commit
ting snioide has become a mania, and
the sooner the cnee who wish thus to
“eolvo the great mystery” are allowed
to do it, the better. When they have
convinced themselves that this lifo is a
failure, and wish to leave it they have
reached a point where tbe world can do
very well without them. Not having
any desire to live for themselves or any
one else, of oouree they are of no ser
vice. It is murdsr in tbe eyes of God,
and none commit the deed in ignoranoe
ot this Divine law. Full well they know
of the penalty inflicted, yet defy all and
make tbe leap. Saicide is the effect of
example, and in onropioion the parties
are not momentarily insane, as some be
lieve. Books tell us of a strange occur
rence in a Mexican army. The regiment
was quartered near an old cathedra), long
sinoe abmdontd, and in this bnilding tbe
army stores were placed. There were
no windows, and tbe door binge3 were
rusty acd insecure, so it wa3 necessary
for a guard to be placed -therin.
one of the beams a rope waa hanging in
which was ft noose, and it was said . here
come noted priest had taken his life.
The next morning after the guard had
beeh placed there his body was
found hanging to the rope. A
brave determined man took the
place the next time, and
morning found him where his esmpan
ion had perished.- This created consid
erable excitement in camp, and the snr-
rounding country wae searched for the
enemy, who, it was supposed, had hung
the meD. A third was found as dead as
the-former two were, A daring Major
tried tho: watch, and was ent down .next
morning in-an almost lifeless condition.
Ha related his experience, which was,
that being alone ho became depressed in
spirit by thoughts of tho fates of his sol
diere. Some 'irresistible power seemed
to draw him to the rope, which he tried
to keep away from. Towards morning
he could resist no longe-, and naturally
wentand put hia neck in the noose. But
for his determination in resisting eolong

Life at the Springs aad Where
strati We Go?
Mosers Editors—The heated term is npon
ns and there seems to be at the present day
a universal desire pervading onr Southern
people to deesrt the quietness of the home
circle for the more animated and attractive
soenes at watering place*. This desire does
i ot always ariso from a thirst for amuse
ments, ner from Uio more elevated metric
of seeking health, but,oftentimes e,
from the sheer restlessness that has tok<u
possession of mmy. They want a chorgj
and must have it. They are perfectly in
different as to what direction they take;
whether it ia up or down the country. Any
where- will do so it is away from home.
There are many more who would gladly Join
this restless army if they could oontrol cir-
enmstanoes and no donbt many would be
greatly benefited by each • coarse. The
humdrum of life wean ont the energies and
overtaxing of the twain brings'many a man
to a premature grsve. The bourn of relax
ation end tho pleasures of social intercourse
tone np the drooping energies, impart nsw
life and open up new avenues whera’n the
overtaxed mind oan wander and gather
strength for future conflicts. This -desire,
therefore, is not hnrtfnl to onr anooess in
life if only guarded by prudonce and oontrol-
ed by common sense.
The N!naH«ti And German, from tho foot
of their love for festivals and holidays which
eo agreeably interrupt the duties of every
day life, are more robust in constitution,
with greater powers of endurance either in
physical or mental.labor, than we Ameri
cans One of the least pleasing effects of
onr modem civilization is the character and
the necessity of inoessant labor to k«ep np
with the world. There is to«day more dis
sipation and less enjoyment than in the-
days of onr fathers.
Life at the Springs his He sunshine and
its shadows. Whan properly entered into
and presented with the higher motives that
should govern rational beings, it becomes a
fountain of blessings, a spring of jov to'
every participant All tho regal convention*
alitiea and restraints of society are thrown
off and when once introduced, yon' are ad*
milted without question into all circles of
mirth and good fellowship. Manly conduct
throw open to you every door and unlook
every heart so that although a stranger to-
day. you will feel to-morrow like yon had
been the recipient of their friendship for
years agone. Home of the strongest friend
ships have arises by an accidental meeting
at the springs. Tho easy-going, life at the
springs blends all ranks In one waim, gene
rous flow of joy and kindness. This arises
from the fact that onr thoughts are direoied
into the same channel and onr friendly sym
pathies more aroused. We feel more sensi
bly tbe charm of each others society, be*
oaose wo are dependent npon each other lor
enjoymert. Many a desponding heart has
been lifted np ont its gloom and sadness
into a higher apportion of life and its da
ties by coining in oentaot with tbe more
hopefnl and tbe more experienced in the
ways of the world. Tim recluse who has
been wooed or foroed~ by ciroomstanocB
away from his parent 'under the inspiration
of life at the springe, sallies forth and his
thoughts and feelings dissipate themselves
over the sunny landsoape and he “lives
abroad and every where.” The very sur
roundings influence ns to abandon onrselves
to mirth and good fellowship aud enables ns
more keenly and int.lligently to appreciate
the pleasures of the sooial circle.
This pictnre can only, bo completed by ths
addition of the back grennd. As I admitted,
life at the springs is not all sunshine While
it cultriateB and enlarges social enjoyments
and widenB the stream of our friendships, it
also famishes opportunities and exercises
whioh destroys happiness and tonga shame
and disgrace. Eden was not without its ser
pent, nor is any earthly enjoyment without
its tomptation. . This unrestrained eooial jn-
terconile at tho springs opens the door for
the libertine and the gambler. With the
most factuating manners and elegant style,
they ingratiate tbemselvea into the confi
dence and fellowship of the nnwary. Many
a pore woman, because of the abandon man
nerism of the springs, suffers advances as
well as language, which ebe would indignant
ly spurn in her own home. Many married
ladies oven whose head should rest on no
other breast bat that of her husbands, in the
exoltement cf the waltz will anffer other
arms to encircle her body and suffer herself
to bo pressed to the bosom of a man whom
she wonld not recognizs npon the etreet in
her own city homo. Many an unsuspecting
youog man off on his first visit to the springs
is decoyed into the gambling hell and be
comes an easy prey to the sharpers who
smile and fawn around him. “ Evil com-
munications corrupt good manners,” is jnst
as truo to-day as when the inspired Apostle
penned it. Those sre a few of the evils that
atten l • life at the springs.” The gosiip
and tbe tale-bearer are seemingly the nec
essary evils of snob a life. They are the
most industrious of all classes as well as tbs
most ubiquitous of all peisous.
Rut notwithstanding aU these difficulties,
it is right to avail onrselves of tbe mmy
wonderful advantages which a kind Provi
dence has placed within onr reach for tbe
recovery of worn and tired nature. Homo
one has said that nature is but the outer
garment of tb9 Great Healer, and if a poor
woman who had spent alt her fortune with
physician8 and conld not be healed, pressed
through tho crowd and tonohed but ths hem
of the Master's garment and was relieved
from her eighteen years of suffering, surely
it is bnt right that we shon’d seek the heal
ing streams whioh oome freth iadened from
God's own brewry.
Where shall we go ? Surely not out of
Georgia. The Air-Line Railroad, commenc
ing with Ponce DeLeon, ia lined with at
tractive points. Thore is scaroely a station
bnt what there oomeatbnbbiing np some life-
giving streams. With Porter’a springs and
Tallalab, tbe terrible, off the line of rood,
with the ever beautiful Narohoocbee Valley.
On tbe State Road aro Maxietta, Oorteraviile,
and Dalton and Ostoosa, with its fifty life

eress.
Both Senate and Honse yesterday were
a good deal warmer than the weather,
Indeed, the meteorological temperature,
if it corresponded with that in Macon
should have suggested keeping cool—
which neither Honse seemed able to do.
Tbe Senate went into a night beet ion Wed
nesday ovening in order to compel the
passage of tbe army bill. The majority
were willing to adjourn if the minority
would give them any assurance of com
ing to a vote on tha bill within a reason
able time in the future; bnt this the mi
nority refused to do. Their policy was
to defeat the bill by filibustering, plain
and simple.
Early on Wednesday evening, Conkling
made an assault on Mr. Lamar, of Mis
sissippi, not reported in tbe telegrams,
which most have been exceedingly gross,
for Lsmdr'replied by pronouncing it a
falsehood, which be repelled with all the
unmitigated contempt he felt for its au
thor. Conkling rejoiced by declaring
Lamar a blackguard, ooward and liar. To
whioh Lamar responded that the Senator
understood him. He (Lamar) had used
harsh and severe, language snoh as -no
good man wonld deserve, and no brave
man wonld wear.
This is fighting talk, and must have
been oalled forth by an insult on the part
of Conkling of an extraordinary character.
Lamar is not quarrelsome, and does not
lightly lose temper. On tha oontrary we
should ’seleot him as a man of unusual'
Self-command. A longer account of this
affair,' exospt the beginning of it, will be
found in the morning telegrams.,
The Senate continued in session all
night, effecting nothing, until ten min
utes to twelve on Thursday, when it ad
journed to commsnoe the regular Thurs
day’s session at 12 k
When it met again, the Secretary had
not prepared the minntea of the proceed-
ceeding day, and to the motion to dis
pense with their reading, Conkling ob
jected, and under the rnles ono objection
was fatal. Conkling objected also to all
debate on the sitnatioirand so the major
ity was held in a string—for nothing was
in order except motions to adjourn. And
this was the situation of affair in the Sen
ate np to half past one o’clock p. m.
yesterday. Tho sequel mast be found
in tbe night telegrams.
Meantime the House had been wrest

and one can easily comprehend that tbe
question of a million dollars to be used
in controlling the eleotions is an impor
tant one to tbs Radical brotherhood. A

followed, in which there was mnoh bad

the majority repaired at once to the danc

literally jammed with one of the merriest,

Dancing was kept np without intermis-'

quadrille more thoroughly enjoyed.

Those of the crowd’not enjoying the

At half past nine they found a verdict,

From tbo best information we can

estimated at between fivo and seven
thousand dollars.
This is only rumor, howev ir, and the

Whom he regarded ae tho intellectual supe

tor or poet, nor yet did he posaMs in any
eminent degree ihoee gift* which lendgraor
or brilliancy to mental operations, but be
was in the true sense of the term a thinker,
reason or and philosopher. Though he never
enjoyed the advantages of a liberal educa

of bis life in commercial- operation*,‘aaeh
waa hie thirst fox knowledge and his capac
ity for acquiring it that- he made himself
familiar with almost every snbjeot of msntal

form us in wbafc part of the constitution
the clause can be found, c
We find the above inf that, excellent
journal, the Sandersville Courier, and in
reply, would say, that the present Con
stitution simply affixes the penalty ofim-
sriscnmenc for life to certain oases of
aomicide, which nrumentioned. Batin
the acts of tbe General Assembly daring
its session last year (1878, )we find the fol
lowing :
An set to repeal section 4,323 of the
revised code of 1873, to prescribe the
punishment for perrons convicted of mnr
der, and for other purposes.
Section 1. Be it enacted, etc., That
section 4,323 of the revised code ot 1873,
which ia ae follows: “The punishment
of murder shall be death, bnt may be
confinement in tbe penitentiary tor life,
in the following cases: By the aentesoe
qf the presiding jndge it the conviction
ip founded solely on cironmatautiel testi
mony, or of the grand jnry trying tbe
traverse shall so recommend. In the
former oase it is discretionary with the
judge; in tho latter it is not;” be, and
the same is hereby repealed; and the fol
lowing is substituted therefor :> The
punishment of persons cocvicted of mnr-
der shall be death, bnt may be confine
ment in the penitentiary for life in the
following cases:' If thefts jury frying
tho ease ■ shall so 'recentmend, (italics
rare) or if the eonvietion ia founded
olely on circumstantial ' testimony,
the presiding judge may sentence
to confioemnst in the penitentiary
for lift. In the former esse it is not dis
cretionary with the jndge; In the Utter
jt ia.” *
We did not intend to say that this last
enrolment is really port and parcel of
the new Constitution, bnt that it wsb Mo.
and in our humble opinion a li* that
should be repealed bc the earliest mo
ment. - *
As long as this statute is in force, the
gallows in every instance wilt be cheated
ont of its dues, and the edict of Jehovah
tha*. whc30Bvar aheddeth man’s blood by
men shall his blood be shed, will be utter
ly disregarded. Sibra •‘said akin for akin,
yea, all that a man hath will he give
for his life.” And the Arch fiend was
right. To' gratify tbe promptings of an
insane hatred or compass long cherished
revenge, many a demon in human shape
will smite unto death hi* enemy or an
tagonist, when he know* that ia any
event his own life will be secure.
In every State and nation where the
experiment has been made, the abolition
ot ospl’tl punishment has failed most
bigcatly to obtain the desired end of abat
ing crime. Oae hanging wilt do more to
strike terror to the beetle of dastardly
criminal* than a thousand sentences to
imprisonment for life. In the latter
