Capital Punishment in Michigan.

The death penalty has been abolish
ed in Michigan, but there are many
citizens of the State who would like
10 have it restored for murder. The
Detroit Post, in view of the general
interest felt on the subject, has proeu-
red from the leading members of the
State bench and its bar, their opinions
upon the subject, fortified by expert
enee in their relations with the erimi-
nal classes, and with the remedy for
crime. Chief Justice Cooley, of the
Supreme Court, objects to capital pun
ishment as demOralizing to the COM
munity, as inefficient to create a
greater dread in the mind of the erimi-
nal than any other punishment.
Judge Graves, also of the Supreme
Court, believes that the abolition of
capital punishment in this State has
led to no injurious results.
Judge Christiancy, of the Supreme
Court, takes the ground that capital
punishment should be so limited as
10 meet only cases of Deliberate, wan
on, wilful murder. He does not think
that statistics are satisfactory which
Iretend to show diminutiOn of crime
- the result of abOlishing capital
punishment.
Ex-Governor Austin Blair, MAIN
aims that it was deliberately done,
ifter fair argument; that, after the
experience of whole generation, il
cannot be shown that Michigan is any
he worse for it; that convictions are
less uncertain in Michigan than in
many other State.
Judge Sutherland, of the Tenth Cir
.uit Court, thinks that the penalty of
che most violent and malignant crimes
Iught not to stop short rf death. He
thinks that the conviction and exeeu-
ion of innocent men are very rare;
out if the number of murders is so
diminished by the infiiction of the
leath penalty as to save more lives
from the malice of the assassin than
ire lost through the errors of courts
and juries, then humanity demands
capital punishment. He thinks muir
Ter cases are alarmingly frequent in
that State; that to punish murder in
the same manner we do other crimes,
lends to depreciate the sacredness Of
human life.
Judge Johnson, of the First Circuit
Court, thinks that the death penalty
affords the best security against pre-
meditated murder, and that imprisOn-
ment for life has had a deleteriOus
effect. He specially considers the
death penalty proper in the case Of
murder committed by burglars and
other professional criminals, when
engaged in the commission of felOnies.
He thinks that, in outrageous, deliber-
ate, planned murder, and in case of
murder committed by burglars and
other criminals, there is danger of
mob violence, or individual revenge,
unless the death penalty is inflicted.

PROGRESS IN JAPAN.-JapaR is 60

from Kobe to Osaca, and a telegraph
from Jeddo TO Yokohama. A new
mint is about to be established by the

These movements mark the positive
Inauguration of a new age of civiliza-

all "outside barbariansn are broken
down, and in Japan and China the
governing authorities and classes are
leading the way in the introduction of
army, navy, manufactures, communi-

the modern Improvements from the
powerful "barbarians of the We>t."-
The results in a few years will be the
development of a mighty traffic be-

Asia and the west coast Of America,
embracing hundreds of ships and

On the east bank of the North river,
in Hampshire county, West Virginia,
is perhaps one of the greatest curiOsi-
ties in the State. 1t is literally an ice
mountain, in height from four to five
hundred feet. The western side ofthis
mountain is covered with loose stone,
of light color from base to summit.
BY removing the stone, pure, solid
crystal ice can be found in the warm
est days of summer, and it has been
found there as late as the middle of
September. 1t may exist throughout
the entire year if the rocks were re-
moved to a sufficient depth.

MR.. EDTToR,-I was somewhat amused On
noticing an article in the Advertiser a few days
since, in reply to suggestion made in YOU
paper relating to the location of the City Liq
uor Agency. The writer asks, els it important
where this agency is located? And if 50 we
are sorry for the reputation of our city," &C.,
SC. H
Now if the reputation of our city is so large
ly concerned in the small quantity of liquors
sold as this agency for medicinal purposes
what does the writer think of the quantity
not to speak of the quality, of liquors sold in
other places throughout the city?
Now, Mr.. Editor, am opposed to dram
drinking, but know very well that good tenn
perance people, making large percentage of
our people, as we'll as strangers that visit our
city, find it expedient to use liquors occasion
ally for mechanical and medicinal purposes;
and as we have an agency for the express pur-
pose of furnishing liquors for these purposes,
which liquors are to be of he best quality and
pure, is there any good reason why the agency
should not be located in some central and con-
venient place, where it would best accommo-
date the largest number of the community
.... H WEST ENDER,
