In many sections it is getting to be a hard matter to secure juries to serve in cases where i extreme penalty of the law is possible. The aversion to capital punishment is becoming New England case . eighteen members of one venire of jury-1 men went off as being opposed to capital punishment. It is a well-known fact that many leading jurists of the! country are radically opposed to capital punishment. The new' warden of Sing Sing prison is one of the men before the pub-, lie eye a great deal, who has to handle all classes of criminals, and he is opposed to capital, punishment. There may be some question as to the necessity of such such stringent action in most cust's. dui mere are rnose wno argue' that extreme sentence aj merited in many instances. If capital punishment is to be ' dished the people will hiivt i<. be educated to this point, in s >me localities, or they w:l! multiply their transgressions against law and order and take ihe matter into their own hands. Many countries of the world have abolished capital punish-, ment and their crime records' have decreased. It is set forth that the demoralizing influence1 produced upon community, state and nation through the, operation of capital punishment is of a despondent character and conducive to degrading the thought and actions of hundreds of people who become cognizant of the facts in the premises. Undoubtedly this is true; then how much more awful in its vastness is the execution of capital punishment upon Sndi-; . viduals without even the due process of law? The mere con- ^ temptation of such a crime is ^ beyond comprehension and it 2 surely will not be long before ^ :i change for the better will come about, when men will be more regardful of their duty if ? the conservation of life and up- i holding the dignity of the law < and the officials. The trend of i thought, as indicated by the1; difficulty in securing juries to serve in such cases where cap- ' ital punishment is probable. ' virtually makes this a certain-,! ty, which will bring about a < better state of affairs in this ; particular. ? Augusta Chroni cle. : ' FOR CONGRESS. ] Mr. W. F.
