Reasons for Opposing the Amendments Recently Adopted by the Logisla ture. Columbia Register. Mr. Henry A. Gaillard arose and said before casting his vote on the bill he desired to explain why he should be compelled to vote in the negative. He gave the following reasons : 1. Because pnishment should be proportioned to the offense, and the death penalty, the highest and final expression of the power of law, should be reserved for the gravest crimes known to society. 2. The two frequent resort to the punishment of death, assuming that it will be enforced by the courts, instead of increasing actually diminishes consideration for human life by familiarizing the public with the contemplation of public execa tions. 3. The history of severe penal codes has shown that such codes defeat their aim. Sympathy and pity are excited for accused persons which affect juries, judges gov. ornors and communities, and result in frequent escapes from proper and legitimato punishment. 4. The enactment of the death penalty in these cases must result in more frequent murders, for per sons committing theso offences, to escape the consequences of their crime, will be more swift to take life. 5. The punishment at present for two of these offences is imprison ment for life, and the third, im-. prisounent for thirty years, at the discretion of the Judge, which it is believed in the universal experience of the'States of this Union and the nations of Europe are sufficiently severe. 6. The efficacy of punishment con sists far more in the certainty of its infliction than in its severity, and as before stated severe laws are more apt to be evaded than milder on actments. 7. The greater prevalence of crime in the community, if such is a fact, can be explained by the excited and abnormal condition of public affairs, and it is reasonable to believe it will steadily diminish under the influence of an equal, firm and just adminis tration of the public affairs. 8. Public political policy demands under our present citcumstances an exhaustion of milder methods before resorting to systems of punishment unknown, so far as I am informed, to the penal codes of any civilized State. It is now an acknowledged fact that CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED. It has been cured in a very great number of cases (some of them apparently desperate ones) by Schenck's Pul monic Syrup alone, and in others by the same medicine in connection with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both accord ing to the requirements of the case. The old supposition that "Cons sumption is incurable," for many years deterred Physicians from at tempting to find a remedy for that disease, and patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to death without an effort being made to save them from a doom which was con sidered inevitable. Dr. Schenck himself was supposed at one time to be at the very gate of death, his physicians having pro nounced his case hopeless and abandoned him to his fate : he was CURED by the aforesaid medicines and afterward enjoyed unin terrupt ed good health for more than forty years. Thousands of people have used Dr. Schek's preparations with the same remarkable success. Schenek's Almanac, containing a horough treatise en Consumption, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, &c., can be had gratis of any druggist, or of y. H. Schenck & Son, Philadelphia. Full directions for the use of Schenek's medicines accompany each package. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are for sale by all druggists. Somebody once defined old ortho doxy as believing in a devil with hoofs and horns ; now Ortlooxy is a devil with horns only, teoto doxy is a mevil without hN &dr. horns, and infidelit no devil M 1l And now the difference bet~* Unitarianisng and Universatlse:is not clear' to'the uninitiated. Rev. Thomas Star Klag Baid the differ ence between these two wings, of liberal Christianis was, the .Unita0 rians believed they were too good to be damnid, wle t1niversslts believed God was too ood to dama anyb)ody. SIXTY TIEOUSAND A DAY. What is Shown by a Count of Cuato mers at R. H. Macy & Co's. Doors. Impelled by a wish accurately to answer a question frequently asked, and always asked at random, R. H. Macy & Co. have placed men at the doors of their immense store at Fourteenth and Sixth avenue, to count the pedlle who come in the course of the day. Before the store was open in the evenings the number was reported at 30,000 daily, but since then it has reached nearly double that number, or 60,000 peo ple-the entire population of a large city. Of course a systerp exact and perfect in detail is needed to sp ply a throng so great. The pack ing and shipping, which are done in the basement, are so thoroughly systematized that last year the firm lost two only out of hundreds of thousands of packages, and this year it has lost not one. At present at least 4,000 packages a day are distributed within the city. Three deliveries are made daily, by from twenty-five to thirty-five wagons, some of them the largest of Dodd's express wagons, which have been chartered for a short season. By various express lines to places out of the city, the firm ships from five hundred to one thousand packages a day, 0. 0. D., for they have no book accounts with any one. In this shipping department are now employed about fifty extra hands, making nearly one hundred in all. In the salesrooms the saleswomen stand shoulder to shoulder behind the counters, and the customers stand in the same way in front of them and in rows three deep. There are nearly seven hundred clerks here, of whom about one hundrel are men. On the third floor are the dressing and lunch rooms, where hot tea and coffee are given the girls to eat with their lunch, and the place is a per fet Babel of girlish chatter during the three hours which it takes the force to eat in relays.-etew York Paper. PARLIAMENTARY RULES. The New York 2ribune's Wash ington correspondent gives a column and a half of reasons why the pro cesses of legislation should be sin. plified. The rulei are oftQn the result of an expedient to meet an emergency. Speakers give rulings to help their party friends, and these rules are made to conform to the precedents established by Speakers. That is, the Speakers having de clared that the hdrse was sixteen feet high, the House, to relieve the Spe(tker of his embarrassment, adopts a rule to that effedt. The "previous question" is one of the mysterious processes which have been warped out of their original pur pose. It was originally an excep tional expedient to arrest debato that otherwise might be painfully protracted, but by usage it has become a regular and ordinary method in passi'g a measure. The effect of this motion is to compel the House to accept or reject a ~bill in the precise shape in which it is of fered. The member introducing the bill has, under the previous question, an hour which he can use himself or divlde with others, or he can yield this privilege, and force an immediate debate. The effect on the proceedings of the House is to throw all practical consideration of a bill into committees. There it is considered, discussed, amended and prescribed to the House In the shape the committee chooses to give it. All propositions are referred to a committee, and the. House only acts upon the~ir report. The pro ceedings of' the~ committees are secret. No member is allowed to give information of anything that takes place in.the committee rooms. The 7Wbriune correspondent thus describes the composition . and machinery of the committees: As a rule, every committee is governed absolutely by its majority; the majority by the chairiman alone, or at best by a clique ; the clique at lastby one man, usually the chair ma,bt sometimes net.
