CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

(To tho Editor.)

Six,—lt Is to bo regretted that when Mr A. Campbell bollered be discerned Indications of public interest being BU«taiaed in tho dlsousslon on capital Dunlshraent botwiv n him and myself, and determined to write another letter on the cvi joot, ha did not endeavour to oomoouo somo thlng more worthy of the attention or the ' thoughtful persons and ot tho lofty pretensions of those whoooiidomn the Infliction of tho deal h pona'ty on marderors than tho verbose and rieolamatory but unarßUtnentatlvo effu.lnn whloh appears in the St ah of Wednesday. 110 contends and reiterates that oapltal punishment is unnecessary, and that murders would not increase In frequency were It abolished ; and yat when statistic* aro brought to show that where it has boon abolished the nun b_r of muriors baa Inceiß«d, and that most alarmingly, ho coolly ignores the value of tho exporloaoe thereby offered for our guidance, and proceeds to waste spico by sketching a fantastic and original representation of Justice, as a monster eager for the blood of vioilm<>. The weakness or tho objections offered to my facts, demonstrate) tho ui.tcaable position held by tho abolitionists, and tho fatality of arguing with hysterio porsons who regard orlmlnals ot the deepuat dye with feelinga o( sympathy, and almost of affection. Mr C»mpbell sajs bo doos not know where " t« look for the nation which has not inflloted o»plt»l punishment,1' I have pointed out Switzerland as being a nation where It was not liillioted for four years, until a dearly-bought experience compelled tho people to attain resort to it, Mr Campbell mis apprehended tho purport of my raferonoo to America. I did not spoak of that country to show tbat hanging, under Lynch law 'in tho early days " fctemmed tides of ferocity," though that undoubtedly was the oaeo; bat I instanced the United Htettog of tho present day as hong a country wharo—the ao&ih penalty bolng rarely inflloted — human Ufa U notoriously less secure than in nations whore the punishment for murder is certain death. Mr Campbell nayu ho hui "no thought to move Switzerland, the United States or tho world on the matte r.'.' It la precisely for that very reason ti.e t he is In auoh a foz and (hat his letters dls tlay Buoh inherent wuaknoi>B and puerility. It we are about 10 make any chtnga in a law la Now Zealand, or to Introduce a new law, do wo not gu abroad to the world, not only of the present day bat of past ages, to see what its ex perience ha* been In a given set ot olrcum stanooH and what effoots followed from certain oanaesi sur.ily Mr Campbell U not such a Nihilist as to wish to Ignore all authority and all experience, and to lntioduoa ohanges based on mere sentiment, whloh have worked di*a»troußly among the peoples. Mr Campbell aaya that an to murderers, "we could restrain them In out goals from further violence." Certainly yon oould; bnt you have to prove that the punishment of imprisonment wiU have auch torrord for those who oontemplate murder as to deter them as effootually a« the gallows does from executing their nefarlcus designs. Ii is not that a second murder may bs com mitted by a iharderer already In prison that yoa have to fear, bat that hia lenient treatment may lnduco others to commit mmder. There are many offences If or whloh poual servitude for lite may now bo tifjlcted, suoh as plraoy without violence, conveying slaves. treaton. felony, desertion, mutiny, coun terfeiting coin, riot under the Riot Act, extort ing by sooualng of orime, smuggling, aooessory after the foot in murder, manslaughter, attempt to murder; and a multitude of others; and can an»one reasonably think that if there were no distinction in the punishment for tuob orimes (eßpeolally the three last named) and the great crime of murder, criminals committing them would not more frequently perpetrate tho more heinous crime, especially a? would most likely be the cnao by murdering their victims outright their chances of esoape would bo inoroased ten fold. The faot urged by yonr corrosp indent that "no ono likes the gallows" is no roason for Its abolition, I presume that even prisons and policemen are not "liked," and yet they are necessities whloh we must endure. Mr Campbell does not probably /'like" to undergo a certain amount ot labour dally, ease and comfort would no doubt be peforablo; bur, alasl our avthotlo Instincts, our "oultl- Vfitsd taste i\nd humane feeling." cannot always be considered by the world's realities. The force of Mr Campbell's oi-jeoiiona to public execu tions I fully admit: but as they have long since beau numbered with the thmga that were, to recapitulate their evils is only to misspend energy, Mr Campbell says Mr Bright once quoted statistics to show that tho offence of ' ahoepßteoUng was less frequent slnoe it had oeased to be a capital crime, and he advlfai me to "'explore" the "Item," I will do bo with pleasure if he gives me the reference, But who is upholding the anolent severity of our penal code? I have already expressed my emphatlo condemnation of the cruelty of the old- criminal law. but now tempora ttmtavtur, ' and the faot, if true, has no bearing upon the question in dispute. To conclude, there can be no doubt tbat the penalty of death invests the crime for which ii is Inflicted with a peoullar horror whioh any other punishment is absolutely imnotent to produce, and that alone would bs a sufficient reason for its retention. I have not themoat infinitesimal partiole Of sympathy or pity for a murderer, and Bee UQ reason why the Inn us try of law abiding men should be taxrd to maintain and i guard auoh a monster. Bis speedy despatch is imperative and praiseworthy. I thoroughly endorse a remark made some time ago by the London ''Times,1' tnat "tho demand for the abo'ltlon of this penalty will generally be fonnd to be In inverse ratio to the respect felt for human lite." —I am, &o > AtOIBIADUB.

This is what ho waars as a rule, a wlde-brlmmod hat like a wide awake,a smook frock, woU pleatet about the neck, shoulders, nnd BJoovoa, trousers made out of corduroy, not tight sometimes kneo-br«eohof>, and hardly over a ooat at all, Sir, I cannot recite -for absolute thamosake, as an XUKliahman—any more ot tho venomous untruths whioh this man (?) con tinuos to make, ad nauseam, against our really National foroe.cf more than a thousand years duration, but will prooood to shew what the militia of Kngland really Is. Tho militia are supposed to owe tholr origin to Alfred the Great, but long ere his tirao thoro was a loroa of soldiery oallud tho " Fyrd," nnd no doubi tbose formed the nucleus ot that force whioh Alfred only liroußht Into bottor cohesion, CltlßSiflOAtlOn, and looal adaptation. This r.n sleut, permanent, and national bodr of soldiory was originally formed for tho defence of the oonntry a hsartha and homes; but at tho same timo thoy have ovor volunteered in times of emergency to oross too seas, and nobly have they done their duty in othor lands than their own. The Lord Lieutenant in each county nomi nated the 'Officers. All above the rank et oiptaln must bo laud-owners in tho county, and

thU la a band of sympathy botwoan theoom mandorß and their mon. for In m*ny oases it 14 the ofllcar oorninandlng men working on his own estate, aa hi' forefathers hnvo dono for generations before. Tho Militia of Hngland are the aotuai lineal descend ants of tho mon who stood around Harold at Sonlao, of tho horoes of Crottsy. of Foltlers, of Aglncourt, of Blunho'.m, luunllios. Alalpla quot, andla.it aid not least, Waterloo, where a large proportion ot tho Kngllnh army was composed of Militia Volnntoors, hnrrlodly massod togethor. eont off andinoornoratod with tho ttegulara Jn tho Crimean War In 1855. over 111,003 of tho English militia volunteered into thn lino; and now nowa oomes from homo that 35 000 have volunteered to loavo their homo* and go abroad—as their foro-fathors have -dono bofore-to light tbo battles of their omntrs". Is this, then, tho timn for an Influen tial journal likn the " Uorald "- though at tho Antipodes—to oast a Blur upon and publlah a Burluß of lies defamatory of our national foron ( What will ihoy say In England!

THE FIRE AT AKAROA.

Latest Particulars.

No Clue to the Perpetrators,

CHRISTCHURCH, this afternoon, Information ie the fires at Ataroa snys nothing has yet transpired to uilbid a clue to the perpetrator. Mr Bay ley, of Wiicckorlie's Hotel, lost his books but saved' some ofle'ets. Mrs Kioh of the Cri terton Hotel had only been confined a few days; she was the first to perceive a smell of fire in the building1. A man named Druck, who was sleep ing at Wiokorlie's, actually hoard the incendiary engaged .in his dia bolical work, but, unfortunately, be imagined that It was the landlord wno was moving about. The escape of Bruce's Hotel is regarded as almost miraculous.
