The Hanging Question The Other Side.
2b the Editor oJThe Even ing Telegraph:
In the article beaded "Maaklch Sensibility
for Murderers,"' in your issue of yestcrdny, you
ack, "Do either the records of the case or the
state of society authorlz9 Executive clemency''
in the case ot George S. Twitchell, Jr.? As one
who claims to bevtne of "the law-abiding pcop'e
of Philadelphia," I answer Yes, both the
tecords of the case and the state of soe'ety
demand tbe exercise of Executive clemency in
the case of Twiichtll as well as in tbat of Gerald
Eaton. In the latter cae, I am told there are
grave doubts tbat he killed Uecnan; doubts
entertained by those who labored hardest to
convict him. If so, yon snrely would not urge
that he be executed while one reasonable doubt
was entertained of his guilt by those who pro
seemed btm? With tbe facts in the caso of
Ttritchell I am familiar, and in this cae I
desire to sustain the action of those ministers
you bo sirongiy condemn. You say "the gentle
and harm lets are asking fur the respite ot their
own enemies;" that "there is no Christianity in
this." No Christianity in doing good to one's
etemlea; striving to save the hie ot oue doomed
to oie 1 Chribt said, "Love your enemies," and
to me it cetms these clergymen are carrying out
the precepts of their Divine Master by dotn;
just what you call the most "pre-eminent of all
their mlf judged actions."
1 appeal to you as a public teacher re
sponsible to a large extent lor the mighty
power called public sentiment does the record
of thiB case show that "wilful, deliberate, and
premeditated killing" which is necessary to con
stitute murder oi the first degree? ft Twitcbell
killed Mrs. Hill, is it not qui.e likely tbat hu
did it in a sudden passion; that alter hard
words, in which Mrs. Hill told him she
bad lost all confidence in him, he struck her
the fatal blow, without really designing to kill
her; and alti rwaid:, finding he had killed ber,
stung by remo.se and bait frightened out of bis
wits, he s rove by those wounds and bruises
to conceal bis gum. in my opinion,
the lacta do not show premeditation;
and in this view I am sustained by
tenie of the oldest and ablest lawvera of the
Philadelphia Bar. Aeain. there is a bare oos-i-
bility that he did not kill Mr . Hill. True, you
have tbe opinion of twelve men: but juries and
juages have often been mistaken, and inuoceut
men nave been put to oeatn in consequence.
We aie told that Twitcheil Bpends much of nil
time in prajer, reading the Biole, and in reli
gious exercises; mat tbrougntbe efforts of his
spiritual adviser be is a Christian man no-v.
whether he did or did not kill Mrs. Hill; tbat he
Is piepared for the eoc ety of sain:s, etc Yet
be still maintains that he is innocent of tbe
crime tor which he Is abouti to Buffer
death. If he is prepared to die if he is truly
converted, as is claimed he not only
tells the trntb, but he oueht to be lt out ot
pilson by Governor Geary at once. This city,
according to your own showing, needs tbe
livltg example ot Christian men more than ever
before; and if Le is a Christian man, we need
bim as a missionary, aud the Governor should
permit nis execution, xou say tbe "old
aic doctrine" "is not obsolete," "but its
tical necessity is dailv felt:" that "anv
relaxation ot it would endanger the innocent."
Yet utder this Mosaic dispensation you admit
that "Never bulore have so great a number of
murdets been committed," and that it seems to
you "as though jou lived In loudon one bun-
nrtd years ago." xs it not time tor us to retake
Moces and turn our attention to Christ? Is it
lot best to be guided by the lamp ot exoer'ence?
l am eatisned tnat so ions as clergymen ti ae
theoLewho, in to-daj'o Telegraph, endorsed
yonr editorial which I am criticizing) and edi
tors win teacn me peopie me superiority oi tue
laws ot Moses to those ot Jesus, crime will
continue to increase and murders will mich
more abound. But statistics, philosophy, and
Christianity all agree tbat while we should pro
tect society, we snou a not destroy nu-uan
Lie; tbat criminals should be reformed, not
tillpd: and that in proportion as the law of love
supersedes the law of retaliation wil) soctetv
becouie wiser ana oener, ana crimes ot an
grades be dlmlnibhed. Youm, verv truly.

Philadelphia, March 10, 1869.
Illustrated Books and Papers.
The London News, treating of tha rage for
illustrations in hooks and magazines, says:
"A hook's a hook, although there's nothing
In It," said Byron, sardonically; bat book
nowadays la soarotiy a dook at an, unless it
contains a number oi wooaouts. as ior me
"Monthlies," whose number is increasing
every quarter, piotures have almost become
tbelr vassport to popularity. Even the out
side cover oitnem must be piotoriai. Dome oi
them yet hold out in pla'n (jaaker garb against
the showy exterior of their younger rivals,
hut we shrewdly suspect they are playing a
loting game of sobriety and economy, and will
have to he more frisky and oostly before long,
If tbey do not intend to be beaten out of the
field. The oharaoter of the binding is a key
to the character of tbe oontents. Open your
shiilice's worth, and the first thing, that
greets your eye is a captivating frontispiece
of a young laay in a possible or impossible
posture, sometimes alone, aud sometimes
with a male or female companion as wonder
fully made as herself. Turn a few pages
another picture. Probably a young lady
again, supernaturally tall or contorted; or
perhaps a daik-browed villain, a relenting
pups, or a despairingly. spooney lover. Verse,
that used to be thought better able to stand
alone than any other species of literature
and, on acoount of its own supposed pictorial
qualities, to be peculiarly oapable of dtspnus
idk with factitious aids and adiuno s, can
now no more make its appearano without an
illustration than a young lady can without
ohaperone though we ought to add tbat if
obaperones were usually as frolicsome aud
addioted to levity as many of the illustrations
appended to monthly poetry, young lalies
wonld be better off without them
as Ioijk as editors, publishers, and the pub
Ho lntist upon having these thine, they will
be brought into the niaiket as rapidly as ever
tbey are wanted. Tbe question is, where will
it tnd f And what is theoause of it all f II w
lorg will the few yet nnlllustrated monthlies
bold out? And when will the tnru of tha
qnrlerlies come f When will the Edinburgh
iitvitw first make its appearance "with nume
rous wooden ts," and when may we look for
its conservative rival decked oat in all the
glory ot true blue etchings f Nay, how much
looser will the weekly Journals be issued in
tbeir present modest gulae 1 For bow many
numbers more will the Saturdag Jleview be able
to preserve iU "beauty unadorned," and
when may we expect to see tbe Aconomisi
toad hatiial for avw f And ourlre 1
Wt fe'getUsg OurwlTSs. Ytt
onr turn must nuqneationsbly com.
When is it to be ? When shall
we and onr daily contemporaries bn oom
ptlltd to add to oar expanses by maintaining
a staff of artists and engravers ? The state or
health of the Emperor of tbe Frenob or the
Pope will have to be represented by carts
de vhite takes or snppoced to be taken
few days previously. Tbe "Latest Intelli
gence" will have to be plotorially rendered,
with variety of eostnme, and oar own oorres
poLdents will have to send pea-and-ink
sketches from distant capitals takn on th
cpot. The Police Court will provide ns an loll -nity
of Interesting snbjeots, and even ttn
money article may sometimes nottssltate a
tableau of disappointed speculators. To
be perfectly serious, however, do net onr
readers think that this rage for "piotare
broks" has gone far enough ? Is it really a
wbolerome sign f U it not rathf r one of fri
volity and superficial habits of mind ?
