vERMoNr.-The attempt to repeal the act of
the last Legislature Of Vermont virtually abolish
ing Capital Punishment has been signay de-
teated. A bill for that purpose was reported to
the Senate, but was met by an amendment ex-
tending from year to fifteen months the period
for which convict manslayer must remain In
prison before he can be hung at any rate, and
then requiring the direct assent of the Legislature
as well as the Governor to death-warrant.-
This amendment, after earnest discussion, pre-
vailed; Yeas II; Nays l3. The bill as amended
passed by "a to 5. So the restoration of hanging
in Vermont is put farther off than ever.


A bill forblddng officer or jailcr of the State
to have any thing to do with arrestng or detain-
ing fugitive slave passed the House by the
decisive vote of l67 to 5--all parties concurring
Penalty for disobedience fine of $1,000, or State
Prison five years.
