CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN Michigan

fotsetful of the amenities of civilized life that
they do not strange criminals The results.
we have been told, are fearful eighty MUIR
derers are under sentence in.that State. Gin
deed, if one were to trust the statements made
70 influence legislation at Augusta, the PENN
sula State presents most frightful spectacle.
Assassins are plying their terrible vocation in
every direction. The streams run blood. Nat
urai deaths are unknown, and the cemeteries
are filled with the victims of the unchecked
homicide mania. The advocates of hanging
nave eioated over Michigan like ogres at a
least OF blood. But an unfeeing Washing
ton correspondent of the Advertiser has spoil
ed the story. He says that he has inyesticat-
ed the subject and adds:

committed In the State for a number of wears

vious condition.
The Advertiser, in the interest of the exist

oers instead of one, and we are perfectly will

The culver OF death has no arrow so fatal as Con-
sumption. In all the history of the past it has been
the great foe OF human lite. The most common torm
of this disease is known TO physicians by the name
of'Chronic Consumption and generally begins with
slight dry cough. 1t is called chronic because Of
its slow progress 1t is concrded by all that tb, is
local disease seated the lungs, as such
be treated upon the same principle as an inflamed
eye-by applying the remedy to the part affected
This theory is correct, and he treatment and
wonderful success at ending it, is working a COM
pete revolution IN the old and antquated practice or
giving all medicines into the stomach. The charac:
Yer and extent of the most minute diseases of the

The state Valuation.

AN article in the Kennebec Journal few
oays ago, which we suspect to be from the
pen OF Capt. Enoch Knight, clerk Of the Val
uation Commissioners, sets forth in strong
language the difficulties experienced by the
commissioners in doing their work. There is
no mole uniformity in the methods adopted
by municipal officers in making their returns
than there is in textbooks. This not new
revelation, but Capt. Knight, whose head has
probably been made to swim many tunes oy
the complications arising from the Ingenuity
with which the returns are made 10 dillef
from each other and from any given standard,
presents the case with an emphasis that might
be expected from a man who has had his ex-
perience. HIS proposition is that the troubles
o. this year shall not be left to recur at tbe
snd of the decade, but that timely legislation
Shall establish uniform rule by means of
which municipal officers may make their val
uaiions on the same basis, and that this basis
shall be the market value of property. All of
which is reasonable and proper.
But it is no wonder that town officers often
hnd their ideas somewhat hazy on the subject
oftaxation. The system is not little COM
PICK, taking into account the diversity of the
valuations for State and municipal taxation
the troublesome list Of exceptions, most Of
which have relation to towns alone, the diver
sity of practice in different towns in respect
to over-valuing or undertaking property in
general, according TO their real or supposed
interests, and the local traditions, having al
most the force OF law, in relation to the val
uation of particular kinds of property. Add
to this the changes in the laws since the re-
vision of the statutes, and the case appears
still more hopeless Now, when the statutes
are being revised, it is a good time for the
Legislature to give all the laws relating to the
valuation and taxation Of property thorough
examination, so that they may be codified
and given an ineligible and permanent form.
