It might be done sooner than that, in fact, very easily, and would be, ex cept that it is ii,w too late to procure iron this season, and there is no economy in complet ing the road-bed too long in advance of its Occupancy.

Taking into c. deration the rc'ative population for a period immediately previous to the abolition of capital punishment in that State equal to that which has since elapsed, is it true that a greater number of murders have been committed within the Lit ter than the former period? These questions we suppose can be li nitelv ascertained by an examination of the judicial records of the State, and they are wunhy of being answered categorically be fore thc repeal or continuance of the law is finally determined upon.
