( LIcENrIoUsNEss.-Our Legislature could not be
spurred into the passage Of any law to punish
Seduction and kindred crimes, but it has taken
step toward the discharge of its duty, by en-.
acting law to punish the crime OF administering
drugs and medicines, and of performing opera,
tons to procure abortion. The act makes it 4
felony TO do either, instead of misdemeanor, and
makes the penalty Imprisonment in the State
Prison Tor term not less than two or more than
five years. 1t also makes it misdemeanor to
sell any medicine calculated to produce abortion,
and to adrertisc them ; and publishers Of news
papers publishing any advertisements OF such na-
ture arc indictable for misdemeanor.


We do not know how faithfully this law VIII
be respected and obeyed; but some Of the streams
OF moral death which have for years been poured
upon the public through The Sun and Herald,
in the advertisements OF Restel and similar crea-
lures, will at least be checked ii not obstructed
We presume, however, that means will ultimately
be found of cvading the law by advertising CO.
verify and indirectly the denominations which
have hitherto been paraded conspicuouslv.
