BEAUTIFUL SESTIMENTs.-The beautiful ex-
tract below is from the pen of Hon. George
S. Hillard:
~ confess that increasing years bring with
them an increasing respect for men who have
not succeeded in life, as those words are COM
monty used. Heaven is said to be place for
those who have not succeeded on earth; and
it is sure that celestial grace does not thrive
and bloom in the hot blaze of worldly pros
perity. Ill success sometimes arises from a
superahundance of qualities in themselves
good-from conscience too sensitive, a taste
too fastidious, sef-forgetfulness too romantic,
modesty too retiring. | will not go so far
as to say, with living poet, that ''the world
knows nothing of its men, but there are
forms of greatness, or at least excellence,
which 'sdie and make no signs; there are
martyrs that miss the PALM but not the state;
heroes without the laurels, and conquerors
without the triumph"

I have found AT least one startling popularity
about this Hs waiian legislature. They do not ac-
cuse its members OF being stained with bribery and
corruption. 1t IS a new nd pleasant sensation to
me. Some people ascribe this singular purity to IL
nate virtue, white others less charitable say the mem

WE trust that the amendment to the Pacific
Railroad bill, reported a day or two since by
Senator HOWARD, authorizing the Union
Pacific Railroad Company to continue their road
westward by the best and most practicable route
without reference to uniting with the Omaha
Branch on the Tooth meridian or longitude
win be promptly passed by Congress. The road
is now completed nearly to Fort Riley, Kansas,
and if the company is allowed to take the best
and most direct route. it can be completed to
Denver within the next eighteen months or two
years. The matter, however, should not be left
subject to the consent ana approval Of the
Secretary of the Interior, as Mr.. HARLAN, being
an Iowa man, is inclined to favor the Omaha
Branch, and to embarrass the Union Pacific line.
matter OF such importance to the CONNER
cIal interests of the whole country should not be
left subject to the interested action of any man.
1t is sufficient to authorize the company to
build the road upon the most direct and feasible
route,

Isit Crime TO Punish the Guilty 2

There is one ugly feature about the death
penalty which none of its advocates can modify
or hide. tits the fact that, in order to ualct IT,
we are forced to aggrayate every circumsSaoce
That makes murder hideOus. Legal murder Is
done In cold blood IL is long premeditated; II Is
deaf 10 every cry, however agonizing, ior pity;
" IS blind TO every sign OF penitence, no vever
sincere; 1t takes no thought OF the condemned
mans relatives however innocent whose peace
II mars and whose future 1t bhghts. Gan any
thing be more cowardly or more 0loodthlrsty
than that a million Of men should seize an un-
armed fellow-creature and slowly strangle him
to death pm. Y. Tribune.
The Tribune, in its blind hostility to capital
punishment, fails to perceive the one great
circumstance" that makes murder "hideous,'
viz. the malicious killing of an innocent person.
Society, IN executing murderer, puts to death
guilty wretch who deserves 10 die The MUIR
derer kills the innocent; society Furnishes the
guilty.
So too, in besowing its sympathy upon the
murderer's relatives the Tribune tails to hit the
point. 1t is not the fact of erecution that mars
the peace and blights the future of the MUIR
derers relatives, but the feet Of murder. Here is
where the essence of guilt and OF disgrace lies.
We see nothing 'cowardly W in the fact that "a
million of men" seize an 'unarmed fello w-crea-
ture," provided said unarmed fellow-creature be
a criminal, who OUGHT to be errested; nor do we
see anything "bloodthlrsty" in executing MUIR
durer who deserves to die.
The morbid sympathy with criminals which
seeks to confound guilt and innocence, and
which sees no difference between murder and
the punishment of murder by law, deserves exc.
Grafton almost as much as crime itself. It's
ostensible benevolence is a sham. IT'S good will
IA for crime, It's tender mercies to wards murder
are cruel towards innocence. The doctrine that
crImo is merely ''mental disease" is a doctrine
OF license and anarchy.

Left-hand PenmanshIp of Our Soldiers.
OUR readers will remember that few months
ago Mr.. WILLIAM GLAND BOURNE, editor of the
Soldiers Friend, offered the sum of $500, which
was increased by other gentlemen and by the
Sanitary Commission to $1,000, to be distributed
a. prizes for left-hand penmanship, by our SOL
diers who had lost their right arms 10 the SER
vice OF their country. Nearly three hundred
competitors contributed specimens of their pen
manship; and the Committee, consisting OF
Governor FENToN, If New York, and other pro-
minent gentlemen, dstributed the amount in
twenty-eight different l~lzes. The first prize
was awarded to FRANKLIN II. DURRAH. of this
city, private, Company F, Sis, Pennsylvania In.
iantry.
We have just enjoyed the pleaslre througb
the favor of Mr.. BOURNE, of lookiny over tba
original manuscripts sent in to compete :,r these
prizes They certainly reflect the gl,atest
credit upon our soldiers, both in the mechanical
execution OF the writing, and in the literar,
character of the productions, many of which
would be exceedingly interesting in print.
We understand that it is contemplated to send
these specimens OF lefthand writing by soldiers
of the United States for exhibition at the great
Paris Fair, to be held next year. We doubt if
among the industry of all nationsn ANYTHING
more interesting will be found.
