The editor OF the North Carolnian invites the express
sion of opinion from the presses OF the State in
gard to making Criminals work the public roads
We like the idea very well, though not prepared
to say much about it, not knowing how it has operated
where it has been tried. We do not believe it will do
tOe Pententiary, and the fact that Maryland has
abandoned the former system for the latter, somewhat
in its favor AS regards morbid sensbility for GRIM


nals-we cannot for the life of US, how this feeling
is cherished any by causing the prisoners to work
in Penitentary, than by compelling them to work on
the roads. We believe, in either case, punishment
would be more certain than now-which is one of the
great objects to be by change in modes
punishment 1t is the certainty ofpunishment and not
the seUy of the penalty, that peace and good
order in society.
