IVnisiimknt.?Baltimore, October 10.?Cardinal (iibbons sees in the tardiness with wh cli justice is meted out to criminals a serious menace to good order and good government, lie favors and is a believer in the efficiency of capital punishment, nnd is of the opinion that there ate too many loopholes ihrutgh which g.ii'ty persons may escape punishment for crime. In his new work, "Our Chiistian Heritage," scon to be published, the Cirdinal stys : "A crying evil is the wide interval that so often interp>scs b tween a criminal conviction nnd the execution of the sentence, and the frequent defeat of justice by the delay. Human life is indeed sacred, but tlie laudable effort to guard it has gone beyond bounds. )!' la'c years the difficulty to convict, in murder trials especially, has greatly increased from the widened appli. sation of the p eas iu bir ? notably that of insanity. When a conviction has been reached innumernb'e dc'nys generally s ny , die execution. The many grounds of ex- | :epti?n allowc I to the counsel, the anpev's from one c tun to nnother. with final npplisation to the Governor, and the facility w til ^ ivhtch signatures for parJoti are obtaitie I, | iave combined to throw nround culprits an txtravagsnt pr tcctive sy-tem, and gone far ( o roh jury trial of its substnnoe and efficacy. \ prompt execution of the lath's sentence ifter a fair trial is that which strikes terr r j nto evil doers nnd siii?ties the public cm- | iciencc.

MILLER } * A?,sTAST RAILB0AD8 AMD HIGHWAYS. Mr. Stokes ?li<l not publish in last week's paper tho resolution adopted by last Cvflwy Alliance ir. reference to the prospeeMve Railroad.' Perhaps lie overlooked it.* I wish to say n few words to my brother farm- 1 ers with regard to the Railroads. Let companies and syndicates build as jM many Railroads as they please; give them a ^ warm reception, and the right of way, if ^ I you choose, but I am bitterly opposed to * ....j omi.uiuiijr ur luniismp SllOSCripilOllS. Why, we land-owners on Nortli l'acoht know there con hi be a pujfiny Kailrotul built ? over here. .V rontl built from Theater, crossing Broad Kiver between the mouths if Thiekety and l'ncolet, and up tho ridge bctwen these parallel streams, right by oir house, into I'olk Co., N. ('., without crossing a single stream, ua<l with scarcely any grading, and from thence to Jonesboro or Washington, Tennessee. ? Yes, let them build Railronds until we have a perfect net-work of them ; but let t those build who get the money. I can tell you how we and our fathers over Paeolct have been served by railroads. Between 18.r>0 and 1800, the S. & U. Kailroad was built. Our fathers, animated with the spirit of public enterprise, took stock liberally, for men of their menus. The rood was built; went into bankruptcy;.was sold for. 1 think. $100,000. They pot nothing, ? and now. I am informed, the road is rented out for $">0,000 per annum. Then, like (t) farmers, we voted a subscription to extend the road to Aslieville, to tiring us, we were told, cheap Western corn and bacon, giving our money without having nny voice in the management, or a knowledge of what became of the proceeds ofthc road, and we arc allowed only to pay the interest on the I iMimif?a goou investment for the owners of the road, and a lifetime drain on us and our children. 1 Not satisfied with this, they propose a sub- 1 script ion to a road from. 1 don't know where, to (iatfucy or Illackskitrg. The landowners voted almost unanimously ngninst it: hut was voted on us in Draytonville Township by about ten or fifteen majority of negro voters, who own no real estate and ought not to have had any voice in the matter. And now, if the road is built, it will inly touch the extreme North-east corner of he township?just enough to get the money md not profit us in the least. Did you ever notice the chicanery of Kail oad Companies? Anxious for us to take nrm;/ halfofthc stock, leaving them only a small majority, but enough to cast the deciding ote and do what they please with the road uid its proceeds. Then they run two or nore routes through the proposed town or . ownship. leaving the jdccided jroute?un mown TTTI they get the last uickle from m >oth ways. ?.?;y rill build it, and let us quit being the cat's ' iaw for them : A farmer's pet monkey once wanted sonic hesnuts that were cooking in the ashes, ml seized a cat's paw and raked them out. 'lie cat fn/o>/c<l the pain, but the monkey njoyed the chesnuts. We advocate good public highways, intend of the miserable ones wc have in many ections, and hope the resolutions of our 'oiinty Alliance will he heeded by our begisiture, especially the one that relates to conict labor on our highways. Some of these i/.y vagabonds are almost willing to commit omc petty crime in order to rest and lie maided by the pulilic. Put tliem to hard vork and crime will diminish. * Von are right. Mr. Allianc c Hditor, dr. Stoket did overlook the rcsolu I ion. from the simple fact that it was vrittcn on a slip of paper upon one side of vliich was printed a circular headed, "A vord for tlie Farmers." which ha?l appeare 1 n tlie Timks a few weeks before, ami we did iot sec the resolution written on tlie other ode until after the paper ha<l been workail ?tf.

I have just received a letter from a lady of South I'acolct congratulating me for the items in the Alliance column, llcst assured, kind lady, I appreciate such letters very much. The founder of Mclhndis.it onco, in charging some young preachers, said, "If you do not make somebody glad or mad every time you preach you will accomplish but little." I have been honest in all I have written and have, t/??&//? **, milled, or will again rutne the teelnigs nt some; hut it atfords ino fur # iihire pleasure to receive words of commendation like yours than censure.

That's right, you stand ^B by the farmers. One of the noble attributes of your sex is fidelity, yet I must say the majority of the farmers of our county are in a deplorable situation, irul (ill on account nf the want of foresight and energy. Mr. Stokes is very kind to give the farmers a column in his paper, that (hey may commune with each other and take counsel together; and let the farmers and their wives and daughters embrace the opportunity of interchanging their observations and ideas through this column.
