There continues TO be some discussion of
the policy of restoring the Death Penalty in
Michigan, where it has been abolished and
several distinguished jurists have given their
opinions pro and con. Chief-Justice Cooley of
the Supreme Court is still strong In the Opin-
ion that Capital Punishment is demoralizing
"tO the community, inefficient to create a
greater dread in the mind of the criminal
=" than any other punishment, involving injustice
"tO innocent PERSONS and exciting prejudices
ain the minds of jurors against enforcing the
claw" Judge Graves Of the same Court "be-
"lieves that the abolition of Capital Punish
"ment has led to no injurious results" Ex-
Gov. Blair is of the same opinion. Not 80
Judge Sutherland of the Tenth Circuit
Court who makes one of the most
extraordinary arguments in support of
Hanging which it has ever been our misfor-
tune to encounter. "He thinks" or is report
ed to think, "that the conviction and execu-
"tion of innocent men are very rare; but if
"the number of murders is 30 diminished by
"the infection of the Death Penalty as to save
more lives from the malice of the assassin
ethan arg lost through the errors OF courts and
"juries then humanity demands Capital Pun
"ishment" The moral notions of Judge Suth-
erland seem to be in a strangely obfuscated
condition. He should know, if he does not.

The only point of Mr.. Gladstone's letter on
the Fenians calculated to win it respect or save
it, as it now appears to us, from contempt as
an expression of policy, is his asseveratiOn that
the Fenian conspiracy is not yet dead either
in Great Britain or America. But what OF
that3 The end proposed by any policy what
ever would be to put an end to conspiracy by
destroying its causes and incentives, to cut off
rebellion root and branch by destroying every
thing that could make the Irishman's
oppression bitter. Mr.. Gladstone had
at worst but small task to manage hand
full of Fenians, and to tolerate two or three of
what the O'Donoghue calls spOuters. The states
man who abstains from Cancellation merely be-
cause all isolated minority are vainly plotting,
and is deaf 70 the passionate appeal of we'll
meaning majority, may be guilty of moral
cOwardice, but we are content to say of
want of hghmnded craftsmanship. People
will plot against the British Government
from now till doomsday, but it is
the duty of craftsmanship to heed great ends,
and not take a pOliceman's revenge upon
whole people. If the Irish nationally wish
the Fenians released, by all means let them
go. We venture to say that the amount of
AID and comfort thus given the Fenians will
he infntesimal. and the moral vantage ground
gained by England in the eyes of the world
will be considerable. Have not Englishmen yet
learned the saving prudence of magnanimity
in dealing with the Irishmen, OF are they still
content to have people unappeased whose
press cry out against the last utterance of the
Premier that it is "nOt only painful but
"shockinC9"

Everybody has heard of "the Republic OF
Letters" but we must go to the Lyceum
Platform for true democracy. Thus, in notice
of a course in neighboring city, it is stated
that "Charles Sumner will come first and Josh
" Billings viii follow" and one of the COURSES
this season in Boston is of remarkably mis-
cellaneous kind-music, reading, lecturlng' de-
batting, fun, science, art, and nonsense Deing
mixed in due proportions. This is the favor
to which the popular Lyceum has come nor
have we a word of fault to find with Ii, mas
much as we believe it serves an excellent pur-
nose, and upon the whole is both refining and
elevating in its influence But we think we
ace the need of something better also, VIZ:
regular and comprehensive courses of lectures
by the same individual, in which some topic
of permanent interest shall be exhaustively
and competently treated, upon the plan adopted
by the Lowell Institute in Boston.

Insane persons in st. Louis cannot be sent
to an asylum by the County Court unless they
have resided in the county one year. Those
who have no residence are, therefore. consigned
to the Work. House as "vagabonds." Mayor
Cole found great number of such persons,
upon visiting the Work House, in pitiable
condition. He has humanely succeeded In
getting some of them into the County Asylum
A few were also cared for in the St. Vincent
Asylum, but eighteen remain at the Work
House. These no tried to get on to the County
Farm, but failed. These facts would seem to
point to q lamentable increase of insanity at
the West, as in other quarters of the country
an increase worthy of the attention of all
interested in social science.
The fact, too, indicates that not q few in
sane paupers are Durposely set adrift by local
authorities, to escape the expense of their sup
port. This matter, We are satisfied, requires
more investigation than il has received and
there should be in all the States some strin-
gent statute providing for the indictment of
all town and county officers who carry pau
pers, insane or otherwise, out of their own
precincts, and dump" them in other places

1t is charged by many persons and from nu-
merous localities that Mr.. Chas. S. Spencer
abused his position on Monday evening, to re-
call large numbers of the ballots for the Judi
cary Article of the New Constitution and de-
strOy them. 1t is certain that at many OF the
polls these tickets could not be found; it is
equally certain that the Republican Commit
tees took the proper steps to secure their
abundant circulation; and it is clear that
only treachery somewhere can account for
their absence. We hope soon to know beyond
the possibility of dispute who the guilty parties
are. Meantime we have only to say that who
ever COnspired to defraud the people out of the
opportunity to vote for a reform in our Ju-
dietary is responsible for the gravest political
crime of the campaign or the year.

QUE STATE ELECTION

Shameless and cunning frauds" like those
which the Editor of The World saw p erpe
trated at our polls one year ago, and which he
undoubtingly attributed to VIM. NJ Tweed and
Oakley Hall, have again defeated the Republi-
cans in the general vote of our State. The
vote pOlled here by "repeaters yesterday
cannot have fallen below 10000, and we think
it largely exceeded that amount. The
With and With Wards gave a Demo-
cratic majority considerably exceeding their
entire legal vote; but the XXIst Sheriff
O'Brien's) far outstripped all rivalry. polling
about 1000 fraudulent votes, and thus largely
increasing the fraudulent Democratic majority
it rolled up for Seymour, Hoffman g. Co. last
year. We presume the vote returned from this
Ward for the Republican candidates is several
and we have assurances that like frauds were
perpetrated in other Wards. The swindlers, feel
ing sure of legal impunity, were even holder than
last year, and piled up the majorities in their
rotten bOrOughs with an utter recklessness of
appearances but they did not operate so uni
versally as last year. Still, they swindled us
enough for their present exigency, and know
how to double the amount whenever the stake
shall seem to justify the cost. Unless the laws
can be so amended as to meet and battle the
new devices and skillful combinations of the
Williams who now misrule and plumber our
City, our elections must henceforth be farces.
But the magnitude of the evil almost insures
its speedy correction.
In the rural districts, the vote was generally
light, there being no offices of frst-rate i'm
portance to be filled this year. The majOrities
of either party consequently fall off in most of
its strOngholds but there is no material change
evinced in the sentiment of the State. Could
the polls be purged of illegal votes, our ma
jOrity would be just about the same as when
Gen. Grant was chosen President.
Judging from what we witnessed at the polls
yesterday, the Democrats almost unanimously
voted against and defeated the Amended Con-
stitutiOn, with the requirement of Equal
Taxation on Real and Personal Property, while
their votes upheld and perpetuated the Prop
erty Qualification for COlored Men. The Judi
ciary Article was not so generally opposed by
them, and we think it is adopted. But all is
as yet guesswork.

The London Star recently Discussed the me-
cessity Of adopting some such severe penalty
against the English practice of wife-beating as
will put stop to it. The Star thought that the
public Aogging of wife-beaters would be the
most effective deterrent in the world But it
indicated very extraordinary objection TO This
in saying it is urged there is plenty of wife
"beatng among the well-to-do classes,
respectfully among the benefited clergy ~ and
we can but admire the boldness of The Star,
in treating this point, when it says the bene-
feed clergyman convicted Of beating his wife
should be whipped as well as the cOstermonger
or brcklnyer found guilty of the otfcnse.
We should think it might be good thing,
after whipping the benefited clerical wife
beater, to deprive him of his beneiice and dc
grade him from the clergy.

IEINNINII.

With the close Of the English expedition the
great interest which the whole civilized world
for several years took in Abyssinia seemed to
come to an end. Theodorus, by his superior
craftsmanship and barbaric energy, was on the
point of consolidating the incongruous tribes
which nhabt that country into one, of creating
an Abys,nian nationality, and OF securing for
his country a recognized rank among the ma
tons of the earth. No more conclusive proof OF
the exceptional ability of Theodorus could be
given, than "A comparison of his administration
with the anarchy into which Abyssna is now
relapsing for want of man who can step into
his footprints.
The whole history of Abyssinia from April,
1868 to July 1862 the date of our latest advices,
has been IN uninterrupted civil war. Three
princes are aspiring to the inheritance of
Theodorus kasai, Prince of Tigre, who last
year concluded friendship with Sir Robert
Napier, keeps at his court mt Adoa two German
missionaries, and an English officer, Col. Kirk
ham, who renders him important services rs
instructor of his army; and he intends, 30 soon
~ his troops shall have been well drilled, to
begin n campaign against Gobazie, the ruler OF
Amhara. and Menilek. the Prince of Shoa. who
Emperor of Ethiopia. The occasion for this
imminent war has been furnished by the
expected arrival of new Abuna, or bead of
the Abyssinian Church, who, rs usual, is sent
by the COptic Patriarch of Cairo, and for the
reception of whom Kasai has sent an embassy
to Egypt with costly presents. Gobaze dis
putes with his neighbor the possession of the
Abuna, who generally resides in Amhara for
it is the privilege Of the Abuna to crown the
Emperor of Ethiopia.
The people of Abyssinia are so well aware
Of the great loss which their country has
suffered by the death of Theodorus, that they
have begun 70 venerate him as a saint. The
German missionaries in Abyssinia report that
thousands of pilgrims visit his grave, where
number of miracles are said to have occurred.
A greater influence, however, upon tho desti-
MES of Abyssnia than by the miracles of St
Theodorus is likely to be exercised by the
progress which neighborng Egypt cannot fail
to make in consequence of the opening of
the Isthmus Of Suez.
