yet tho commissioners confess that this arrangement is not wholly satisfacto ry since by it somo climes seem to have no appropriate place and they are not sure that it will not in iho end be deemed

fact to felony tho necessity of fixing once for all who are uccessoriob v.'ill bo understood ly ail lawyers and the amendments suggested aro copied almost verbatim from tho revision of massachu setts laws the commissioners propose also to define clearly in this chapter the difference between a felony and a misde meanor a difference which has never been observed in llie criminal legislation of congress every felony says one of their notes is distinguishable by cither ol two elements first the penalty of death ; second tho penalty of imprison ment at hard labor all other crimes aro to be
