Banking business. II has come TO pretty fine

of other bills, hanging fire, and answering tht
purpose of pack-horse for thousand bun

II is discou raging TO see how little the control.
ling members of Congress care about the real
interests of the people at large-thty can spend
their time in discussing the merits OF presidrn-

cuffs and brawls; but when you come 10 inquire
for the acts passed for the benefi, of the people

as an immediate consequence, the dismissal of u

officers, you will find they have no time to at.
tend to any such matters. But in matters which
concern their own interests, in increasing mile

Mr.. Ed: | am aware that many feel disap-
pointed in the defeat Of the bill on Capital Pun
ishment of the present term of our Legislature,
bu, sir, there are Others who feel thankful ofthe
result; the great command that the Infinite and
Holy Gcd has thrown around Human Life,
should never be repealed by Legislation. The
! higher law should be respected and obeyed.
The facts as presented by the Grand Jury of
Wayne County, Mel igan, at the Circuit Court,
held at Detroit, should be well considered by all
who are in favor Of the abolition of Capital Pun
ishment as follows:
The Increase of the crime Of murder and
manslaughter since the abolition of Capital Pun
ishment, not only among Us, but throughout our
state, has become most manifest aud alarming,
the records Of the cour, Of this county, show thu,
al each Of the four terms, there has been at least
one case of aggravated murder, and at one term
two cases.
Whereas, previously to the existing law, and
since our state organization, no conviction of
Murder had ever been had by any OF the courts
of The state. These facts We regard as proof
of an alarming disrespect for, and Undertaking.
of human life, legitmately refcrabe to change
cf the legislation upon this subject.
These are facts that cannot be gainsaycd or
denied.

[REMARKs BY THE EDIToR.-In connection
with what our friend Crucker says-et us bear
N mind ,hat the Jury did not state that murders
had increased faster than tile population of the
State willie at tie same time the jury did ad.
init that before the abolition of Capital Punish
ment. there never had been cOrrictior of mur-
der in that state This TO our mind places the
argument in favor Of the abolition of the death
penalty For as in the case OF Radcliffe, in Nil.
waukee, jury can with difficulty be found who
will convict man Of murder, when the penalty
5 death upon the gallows-even if they know
he is guilty, as every body in Milwaukee says the
