TIIK Independent State Convention meets in Horticultural Hall, Harris- luirg. Wednesday, tills week.

This tiling won't do.

Those who preach reform in must conform to th" principles they advocate, or they must hear tlie odium that attaches to malcontents seukiiiK a lire- text to destroy tlie organization in whose ranks they have proven them- contumaciously unworthy leaders or followers. Tin: Greenback Convention met at Harrisburg Thursday, May IS adojiteil a platform, nominated a tick- el and adjourned. Here is the ticket For Governor, Thomas A. Armstrong of Allegheny county; for Lieutenant Governor, T. V.

I'oudcrly, of Lacka- waiiiia county: for Supreme Judge, J. Adam Clark, ol'Xorthumherlandcoun- ty; for Secretary of Internal Affairs, Lowry JX'Woody, of Venanpo county; for Hubert K. Tonilinsiin, of Bucks county. These nominations were effected after tin presentation and adoption of the platform, which contains the oft-repcatec declaration of war on monopolies and National banks, and re-asserts, the old demand for the recognition of flu rights of labor. As if the old platforn did not meet the a new resolution slat wa- shoved in baiting tlu LaborOrgiinizations of the State.

The Knights of Labor, unless we mistake their quality, however, will not best easily duped into subserving the whim of a few political mulconk'Dts. TIIKKI: is a great deal of good common sense in the following from Pittsimrg "In the case of Ward, accused of killing the Menus. sisters in comity, the jury has returned a verdict of nnirdei in the second degree. Those who followed the evidence or who remember tlie facts of the case must be fully aware that there was substantially but one question at issue, and that was whether the accused is the person who committed the crime. If there ever was murder in the first degree committed, tliis was an instance.

The man who committed it should he hung. If AVard did not commit the crime he should have been acquitted. To make degrees of crime a convenient cloak to screen the douhts of jurors, instead of giving tlie prisoner (he benefit of such doubt absolutely aud without reservation, is uniust in the extreme. It is results of this kind, unjustifiable between well defined issues, that bring trials by jury into disrepute and which Icjtd to this question whether it is wise to divide the crime of murder into different degrees." r.viiKic the management of restless political iiiiilco7ilents strikes are being inaugurated and occurring in nearly every branch of business alJ over the country. There is no cause hut the turbulent unrest of political minority factions, seeking, through precipitated popular discontent to ride into power.

Labor is as well and promptly paid now a ago. and the rise in certain provisions is not so serious as to hamper the laborer in his effort to sustain life. In but few instances have reductions been suggested by manufacturer-, and only HO in eases where it was absolutely essential to protect the investment of capital against the encroachment of an expense disastrous to profit and capital alike. Recently quit work in Cleveland on a demand for higher not being acceded to. Subsequently more followed their example.

From New York, Pittshurg and throughout the entire iron and cord regions comes the same wail of discontent. It is plain that Uic agitation is more in tlie interest of the political malcontents than to secure comfort and happiness of the laborer. The eonilicl between labor and capital has always been a prolific theme on the glib tongues of those aspiring V) destroy the unity of the Republican party, and now, more than ever, are they industriously engaged in t'ne infamous work of precipitating a condition of social anarchy through a concentrated aud violent conflict between labor and capital. The object is so plain that the laborer, who is the most interested in preventing such a disaster, should not suffer himself to be made the willing dupe of depraved and unscrupulous men. The business prosperity of the country is the outgrowth of the principles and policy of the Republican party, and there is no use in any effort to wipe out that fact.

ANYTHING pertaining to prohibition in the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors, will be of interest at the present time. Hence we give the following from the great speech of Governor St. John, at the recent anniversary demonstration atOswego, Kansas. It is replete with food for thought. The charge was made, said the Governor, that the prohibitory law is ruining the RtaU? and keeping away emigrants.

The census would not show it in a single county. Other States are following in the steps of Kansas. Thirty-three counties in Missouri now refuse license. Illinois has a majority her towns license, Iowa will adopt a prohibitory constitutional amendment this summer. Nebraska is making it hot for the liquor sellers.

Aud even in Arkansas the people are trying to submit a prohibitory amendment. They say Kansas is ruined, and yd she Yiuilt more miles of railroad and more school houses in her prohibitory year than ever before. During the year 1881 there were sold more acres of school laW, putting $40,000 more into the treasury for school purposes, than there was during the license year of 1880; 64 per cent of the State tax was paid up to January, 1882, against 51 per cent for before, aftd yet last year was the worst crop year we, have for a long time. "The fade and figures show that Kansas is being ruined by prohibition by being made more prosperous than ever before. He said, further, that the claim that the State was being depopulated by the prohibitory law was true in one instance, in one institution, and that was the State penitentiary, and he produced figures running over several years to prove the assertion.

The percentage of revenue paid by the various States per capita was given, showing Illinois, as a sample, being $4, while in Kansas it was just twelve cents. The claim, also, that the saloon and liquor men of Kansas City were reaping a rich reward from Kansas patronage was met fairly and squarely and clearly disproved. The address abounded in statistics, and every point made by the Governor was clinched with evidence which could not be disputed. AT the election next November Pennsylvania will elect a Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of Internal Affaire, Judge of the Supreme Court, 38 Congressmen, 25 State Senators for four years, and 201 members of the Assembly for two years. The next Legislature will reapportion the State into Congressional, Senatorial, and Representative Districts.

This being the political program is it any wonder that the Democratic journals of the State of Pennsylvania are found agitating dissensions in the Republican par- tv. In the near future lies the one vital object of their hopes. With the unity of the Republican party in the way the acquisition of place and power hopeless; with it rent into factions, Independent and otherwise, the way, to the mind of the astute Democratic manipulator, is quite clear. The factions can be used to good effect, reasons the plotter of this species of knavery, to depose the Republican party, and democratic supremacy, once firmly implanted, can easily "shake" them and monopolize the spoils as in days of yore. From present indications it would seem that a at least, of the so- railed Independent faction in Pennsylvania, is determined on finding a pretext for scperatc political action, and tliis action inspires the conviction in the minds of Republicans honestly disposed toward the reform of any alleged party inaccuracies, to doubt the honesty "of the motives of the discontented Independents in seeking reform in that shape.

The late Republican State Convention having cheerfully and unanimously conceded all the demands of the discontented element, and removed the alleged barriers to united action in the work of reform, it looks very much as if a pretext was being sought in the interest of Democratic ascendancy. Honest Republicans will, therefore, "hesitate before allying themselves to an organization antagonistic to their own, on the shallow pretext of reform. It is a plot to destroy the Republican organization, and every move of the malcontents makes the fact plainer. KN KKAI. AMES A.

BRAVER, the Republican candidate for Governor, has written a letter to Captain A. M. Moreland, replying to a letter of congratulation froni the G. A. R.

of Pittsburg. General Beaver says: "The apparently solid support of my old comrades in arms is especially grateful in the beginning of tliis campaign, the assurance of that support coming to me from all quarters, through all shades of political opinion. AVhile I rejoice in this confidence on the part of my comrades, we must be careful not to lower the high standard of our G. A. R.

in any way by allowing the semblance of politics to creep into it during the campaign. As individuals our members can, of course, do as they please, but as an organization let it stand upon its high platform of fraternity, charity, and loyalty." I'XTAIR. The Legislative candidates met Saturday, May I), and agreed to have print ed and distributed, for use in the Primary campaign, a ticket similar to the following: ASSEMBLY. (Scratch all but John Lowry William Burns Williazn C. JJrowu William B.

Black Robert Mitchell Two of the candidates have been distributing tickets printed contrary to the above. Mr. Mitchell has distributed tickets printed as follows: Assembly. Robert Mitchell William C. Brown Assembly.

Robert Mitchell William R. Black Assembly. Robert Mitchell John Lowry A glance at the above ticket would impress one that there nothing very wrong in it But suppose a voter wished to vote for two of the parties other than Mitchell, how could he get his ticket from the above combination. Mr. Lowry has distributed tickets all over the county, similar to the one distributed by Mr.

Mitchell, leaving my name off entirely. Mr. Lowry certainly knew I was a candidate; my name was announced in his paper along with others. Neither can he claim that it was a mistake or oversight, as the ticket agreed upon (a sample of which is first above given) was set up in his office. If he had been disposed to deal fairly he could have printed the tickets he wished to distribute from the same form.

When I announced my name as a candidate I had not intended to canvass the county, having been engaged in making improvements and changes in my office which required my attention, and also believing that the time had come in politics when the canvassing and riding the county by candidates should be done away, and the people left to make their choice without hindrance or eolioiUtion. But the unfair advantage that has been attempted in the way of tickets, has compelled me to tmke this means of being heard by the Bepnbllcan voters of the county. During the short time that now remains until the ejection it will be impossible -for me to get all over tie county, besides, at thia season of the year most fan-mere are out their farms at work, in many instafc- ces a half mile or more from the road, and being lame it is impossible for me to walk out, hence, have to pass by without seeing or-having a talk with them.

R. BLACK. Addreae of the Bepublican State Committee. Headquarters Republican State Committee, St. Cloud Hotel, May 17,1882.

To the Republicans of Pennsylvania: The Bepublican State Committee thus early announces the opening of its Headquarters, and asks the prompt co-operation of all active Republicans, to the end that the details of what must prove a great canvass may receive the most careful attention. The Harrisburg Convention has submitted to the suffrages of the people a great ticket and a glorious platform. The ticket embodies a group of names which for ability, fitness and representative character, it is imposi- blc to excel. General Beaver is not only the type of our that host which counted in its ranks nearly a quarter of a million of Pennsylvanians when the Union of the States was his deeds and sufferings for the cause place him in the front rank of the heroes of that war. As Republicans we vowed in its darker hours that political ingratitude should never be shown to any of these heroes, "all other things being equal." In this instance all other things are more than equalled; they are excelled in so far that our maimed soldier candidate for Governor embodies all the higher qualities of the statesman, the orator and the Christian.

Senator Davies, for Lieutenant Governor, represents a free, unshackeled talent of the section which gave us a Wilmot and a Grow. William Henry for the Supreme Court, is the best product of Philadelphia's brilliant bar, and in the worjd of legal letters bears a fame so bright that our continent cannot bind it. John M. Greer, for Secretary of Internal Affairs, is as strong in politics as in physique, and throughout a distinguished career in the State Senate has been recognized as the champion of men who have developed our rivers of oil and made the world their channel. Thomas M.

Marshall, the most independent of all independent thinkers in our West, is the best example our State affords of the citizen whose qualifications have compelled tbeofficetohunt the man. Hcwiilaid in keeping intact what in the nature of things must be a very narrow Republican margin in the lower House of Congress. The ticket thus fairly and fully represents every living element of Republicanism. The platform is more pronounced than any ever before adopted in the in seeking every legitimate political advance touching improvement of methods and the earliest possible triumph of principles. Pennsylvania is now freer in her forms of Republican primary action than any other State in the Union.

She inaugurated district representation ill National Convention, and now more fullv enforces this policy than any other of her sister States, Tlie present platform and the rules embodied therein secure to primary action for State Conventions every tangible claim to increased liberty, and these arc political reforms of more rapid growth than any known to our history. As a rule good things in politics which come to stay, come step by step, the pace increasing only as all become more and more ready to receive. The progress of the Republican party forcibly attests a fact which has grown into a maxim. In its infancy the party- could but announce its opposition to the further extension of slavery. Extension once forbidden, its wisest cham- struggled in the earlier years of his first administration for compensated empancipation.

His appeals were rejected by the parties interested. War's grim necessity emancipated, and then a great struggle followed for equality before the another step, and one which looks timid yet which was bold enough then. Civil rights accomplished, manhood suffrage came through even more painful stages. To have demanded the greater boon from the final step which included and outstretched all the others would have led to a fatal slip. The men who proved their prowess in these struggles were those who had the wisdom to guide with care and good cheer, and so to stand with the people as not to lose their opportunities for increasing usefulness.

Of such were Lincoln, Stevens, Garfield. And now the Republican party of our State, having aided in securing human righto through legal forms, in its recent Convention wisely directed its attention to the growth of liberty in primary action. In Republican Government it is frequently wise in citizens to imitate in their forms of voluntary political action those laid down by the law, for in this way all the people become familiar with the and its workings; the exceptions point to times and occasions when it is desirable to change the law, and to prepare sentiment for that change. The constitutional law of Pennsylvania fixes the number of Senators and Representatives at 251, a maximum which the platform preserves in the selection of Delegates to future State Conventions, hut it at the same time wisely protects the primary right of each Republican voter in the declaration that delegates shall be selected as Senators and Representatives are selected. This is popular and representative suffrage carried into primary action, giving to local sovereignty the say whether it shall be popular or representative.

Either is a great advance, and in the advance the party of the State has only refrained from interference with the righ of home rule in primary details. Look carefully at the platform, and you will see not only successive but culminating steps to every remedy, and steps pointing to everv liberty which wisdom can suggest. These are reforms of to-day. Only envenomed sophistry can call them reforms of tomorrow. The ticket with high honor recognizes every element of the party; the platform embodies every principle which the knowledge of men in dispassionate coference, committees, or convention, could suggest as abreast of the times.

The Republican party redeems its pledges. It has never forfeited its word, and neither misconstruction nor taunt can shake its record or purpose in this regard. Accomplished reforms will be maintained, promised reforms will be realized, and that they may be maintained and realized the State committee asks all who lean toward Republicanism to fall into line under the old standard, that a victory sure to be won may be doubly assured. In a contest where nearly all is ut stake they do best who are most willing to sacrifice personal desires, individual shades of opinion, or personal ambition and interest, for the common cause. In such contests a shrewd and unscrupulous enemy too often promps the lifting the red hand of faction, so that it may serve as a "will-'o-the-wisp" to lead the unawary aside and into quagmires, wheretheymustremain without a flags without a purpose, and without a goal.

There is but one enemy to fight. It is the old one, which in major part was false to the Union in its hours of danger; which subsequently stood but as an obstruction to the rights of man; which to-day represente a reaction opposed to American labor, to our material advancement in manufactures and commerce, to the redemption of our nation's pledges. settled purpose not to be diverted from their object, the Republicans of Pennsylvania will face this common enemy, and with it alone decide the great issues of the conflict. And the better to do this let all Republicans who have any suggestion to make, correspond with their State and County Committees, counsel with their and encourage tie ever-sufficient aid of their local and metropolitanRepubliean the active to greater effect in the new and primary action where baste can do no in theeariiest hours of the canvass that machinery of the law which requires early registries of in all things get ready for a great battle. Serve early and manly notice upon the enemy that every honorable effort and.resonrce shall be em- ploved to.

Klmmell, Indiana, Pa, V. 8. 8. RAXGEK, April 24, 1882. Dear On the 2Mb of March we again arrived in Acapulco," after a three weeks surveying trip up the coast; all happy that it was for the last time, knowing that our departure would be for San Francisco, indirectly.

remained two weeks, nominally to repair, coal, but more especially to await the mail, due on the 13th of April. This, the latter part of lent, was a particularly holy season to the people on shore. Good Friday was celebrated as a holiday, all stores and business houses were closed, and great attention was paid to religious duties, more especially by the women. That night a ceremony was performed, of which I hod never heard before, the hanging of Judas. At 12 o'clock at night, when the streets were deserted and all quiet, he was hung in a most conspicuous position in front of the market house.

In the morning, of course, he was exposed to public gaze, under the supposition that lie hung himself. The people evidently thought Judas profited by his pieces of silver, and array-ed himself to hang in style. He had on a Derby hat, fine black cutaway coat, white linen duck trousers and vest, clocked stockings and patent leather shoes. In addition a great gold chain and seal; in all a sweller outfit than any one of the men in Acapulco could boast. Easter Sunday was observed religiously in the morning; in the afternoon was the great cock-fight of the season, and at night everybody danced out the lenteii season in an extra lively which they kept up all night.

On the 13th, the City of Rio Janeiro arrived with our mail, and I received Cynthia's birthday present, it wasjust three days too late. In the latest San Francisco paper we received the news of the President's veto of the Anti-Chinese bill, which I was sorry to learn. I wish California could transfer her Chinese to the manufacturing towns of Massachusetts, then their representatives, Hoar and Rice, urged by their sincere belief in the "Holy Brotherhood of Mankind," would have a chance to discover the truth of their statement as to certain excellencies possessed by the celestials, which California, in thirty year's sad experience, has failed to discover. Then Henry Ward Beecher should be appointed to convert them. But no; that would not do, for they are all men.

At noon of the 13th we left Acapulco and the evening of tlie loth arrived in Manzanillo, to stay over Sunda.v. The town seemed deserted to what it formerly was, reason failure of Palmer of New York, for lack of money, to continue the construction of the railroad to the city of Colima. The whole thing has been badly managed, the most flagrant error being the approaches to the town of Manzajiillo. Just back of the town is ft lagoon about two miles wide and thirty miles long. Instead of running the road around the edge of the lagoon and right into the town, which would require no more expense than preparing the bed and laying the rails, they run it across the lagoon to the northern limit of the town, from that direction a cut had to be made through a range of hills about two hundred feet high and several hundred yards long.

The reason for making a cut instead of a tunnel, was the need of the dirt to fill Up the road bed 'in the lagoon. They have been at work on the cut for over a year, generally with two or three hundred men and numerous carts and mules. Now tlie cut is not half finished, the lagoon not piled, and everything lying idle. Even if they had finished there is no place for sidetracks, switches, turn-table, All the shifting of trains would necessarily have to be done on the other side of the lagoon. For this road everything came from the United States, ties, piles, rails, machinery, and most of the imported sub-contractors and engineers.

You can see at what a great disadvantage railroad construction in this country is, for there is absolutely nothing here, the labor being of the very poorest. The contractors will lose their Government and State subsidies, as their time expires on the first of July, but I presume they can get the time repeatedly prolonged as they do in our own country. On Monday we left Manzanillo, and that day and the one following were taken to write sailing directions for the intervening ports up to Cape Corrientes. This consists in writing general descriptions of the coast, prominent land-marks, dangers, and this is especially minute in approaches to harbors. From either side our draughtsman takes sketches that are engraved on the chart in the sailing direction; and are also given bearing, courses, by compass, so as to enable any captain to recognize and enter the harbor safely.

An noon of the 18th we passed Cape Corrientes, and the next morning found ourselve at anchor off San Bias. Here we stopped for cigars, as there is a large factory here, and a very extensive one at Tepsic, a city in the interior, for which this is the sea-port. A great many were brought off to the ship for private use. At four o'clock in the evening we left there, and the next day at noon we arrived here, where we have been since, but will leave this evening if the mail steamer from San Francisco arrives. The City of Peking arrived this forenoon en route for 'Frisco, and will take this letter.

This is a city of 15,000 inhabitants, and by far the largest and most modern on the coast. They have street car travel, and I enclose you a peculiar ticket, and the city is illuminated by gas. Most of light colored or Spanish people speak English. Yesterday I attended my first bullfight and I will devote the rest of this letter to a description of it. The fight was to commence at half-past four and it did promptly.

On arrival at "la plaza de toro" we were told the admission was one dollar "for sombra," or in the shade, and "doz reales," two bits, "for sol." For paying a bit extra we got chairs, or reserved seats. The bull-ring was about 125 feet square, and the enclosure made close of six inch hewn timber, and about four feet high, and just outside on raised seats, were about 5,000 people. There was a band of music playing continually, and a bugle was used to govern the motions in the ring. At the first bugle note was the grand entry, consisting of the four matadores, two picadores on horses, a clown, and three mules harnessed together, the latter proving to be (ohaul out thedead bulls. The matadores, or bull killers, were dressed about as circus performers, one in blue satin, one scarlet, one in purple with lace trimmings, and the fast in black and purple.

The picadores were mounted on blinded horses and each had a 'long pike. At the next bugle call a small gate was opened, and a black bull rushed in shaking his head, and rushed for the nearest matadore shaking a red flag at him. He always dashed at the flag which was held at one side, and go by. In the enclosure about 14 inches from the fence are near a dozen barricades about feet long. These were for to jump behind in case bfbeTng pressed, and they are certainly indispensable.

Then the bull rushed for a horse and gored him twice, and at each gore the picadore jabbed his pike into him. till the blood run down nis sides. Then he was teased with the Mags, and if he showed any sign of wavering the picadore would give an incentive. After they get hLm pretty mad then a matadore shows ms skill and agility. They have what are called or are barbed darts attached to which are wreathes of different colored tissue paper, large boquets and streamers.

He would take two of these and shake the flag to make the bull rush at htm, and as he did so, nimbly step one on and the bull rushed by, staggered and fell The bugle sounded and the three mules entered, a rope was tied around his hind legs, and a minute after he was stuck, he was flying oat the ring. Then another entered, also black and seemed very timid, he would not follow the picadores and would scarcely notice the red flag. The natives gave a hoot of derision, such as you never heard, and he was signalled out. To remove him he had to be lassoed and at a failure, he would receive another yell. A little extra preparation was made for the next one.

Four men entered dressed something like clowns, and in the center of the ring was a pole twenty feet high with a flying horse whirling on the top, at the lower ends of which were suspended ropes reaching within three feet of the groundand a loop in the lower end. They put one leg in this and would run skipping along and go flying. Each one had an ornamented dart. At the signal a big black bull with knobs on his horns entered, and rushed for the first mata- dore, then he spied the circus in the center, and made a break. He took up a good position and as each one passed he increased their momentum greatly, and when one with a long nose came to him, he threw him up in the air and he lighted on the bull's back and got another toss.

Then he fell down and his leg withdrew from the noose. The bull tried to gore him but could not for the knobs; the man was lying right under the bull's head. They attracted the bull's attention by pricking him, and with flags, and he left the man who was in such a hurry that he tried to run before he got clear up and went sprawling, in the meantime the rest had disappeared. Then he was treated the same way as the other until about time to kill him. Then he was lassoed, thrown down, and the tips sawed off his horns.

As soon as he got up he made a rush at a picadore's little white horse, hit him in thebelly him down but the man escaped. The horse bled from the mouth, and had to be taken out. In killing him the first rush of the bull was made side-wise and it is dangerous to make a thrust, so he jumped to one side, and had to jump over the enclosure to escape him. The next time though it was neatly done, and he was hauled out. The fourth one was toyed with for awhile and then taken out.

The fifth was a two year old and lie made it lively for awhile, and gave one matadore a good blow. After he bad furnished considerable amusement, he was thrown down, the darts pulled out, and he reserved for another time. It was certainly cruel to torture him that way. Then a bull was turned into the ring for the populace to try their hands at, and about 40 entered the ring with colored blankets, and then we left our first bull fight. After we left one of the crowd tried to ride that bull, he was thrown, caught by the hull, and gored and tramped to death.

The man, quick as lightning, plunged his sword into the bull's neck, withdrew it as he stepped aside Editor of the Indiana Program: I saw an item in the Indiana Times, dated the 10th headed "Capital Punishment," and undersigned "Justice." I suppose that means 'Squire. He started out with reference to a debate on capital punishment, and seems to take a stand against the decision. Then he refers to another writer in a late issue of the PBOGBESS, undersigned "Mercy," who gave us a few chunks of wisdom.

I notice that "Justice" has utterly failed to answer the few chunks of wisdom. He admits the ritual or cermonial law was abolished upon the coming of Christ. Then he asks "when the moral law abolished?" "Mercy" says, never, until the end of time. It consists of the Ten Commandments only. It is love to God and mun reinstated in God's last will and testament to man, to "love the Lord with all thy heart and thy neighbor as thyself." There is no death penalty annexed to God's moral law.

It is apposed to taking life. The Sixth Commandment is, "thou shall not kill." To inflict the penalty of death upon the murderer is in violation of God's moral law. The death penalty was first given to Noah, and then embraced in thc'covenantthat was given to theJews. Moses wrote the Judicial as well as the Ceremonial law, and all the penalties, in a book, and called it a Covenant, the baud writing of which Paul says Christ blotted out when nailed to the cross. Please turn to Collosians, chapters and verse 14.

The hand writing was to designate what Moses wrote from what the Lord wrote on tables of stone, and is the moral law which was not to be blotted out. So if "Justice" reads his Bible better he will say Moses wrote all the balance of the laws aud the penalties and put them in a book and called it a Covenant, and the Jews accepted it. When Christ blotted it out, certainly it is not binding on us. If "Justice" will please turn toEphe- sians, chapter 2 and verse 15, Paul, having reference to the hand writing, says they were abolished. But "Justice" differs with Paul and says no.

Again please turn to 2d Corinthians and 3d chapter, commencing atthefith verse including the 16th. There Paul has reference to the same laws that Moses wrote, and says they were abolished. "Justice" wanted to be pointed to the place. Perhaps he has not read the New Testament very much. Paul says, the priesthood being changed, his duties pertained to the ceremonial part hence it become a necessity to change the judicial law which contained the death penalty.

This ''Justice" will find in Hebrews 7th and 12th verse. The Covenant with the Jews contained all the laws given to them, and the death penalty for thirty-three different crimes. Paul says in Hebrews 7th and 8th verse, that Covenant if it had been found faultless then should I no place been sought for the second, So "Justice" can see that Covenant was done away. It was a Covenant of works, and the penalty was death. But Paul says that he was made an able minister of the New Testament, not of the Letter, becaused it killed.

But "Justice" says preach both that which kills and that which gives life. If the death penalty is binding on us for murder also the balance of the laws given to the Jewsare binding. If "Justice turns to the 5th chapter of Matthew he will find that the Savior reverses the laws that were given to the Jews, and in the 25th verse approves of imprisonment according to the crime. That is what "Mercy" wants, the murderer to be imprisoned for life if not found innocent. Let this suffice for this time.
