To the Editor of the arms.

Please correct the statement that appeared in
the Argus to-day, accusing the Red Coated
Zouaves, of stealing eggs in my store. The
boys were invited to help themselves to every
thing they wanted by a citizen who promptly
paid the bills. There was nothing in their CON
duct to justify the charge against them, and
am at = loss to understand how such report
originated unless some complaints which
made about having peaches stolen by the young
roughs who came out from the city with the
Greeley Guards when Gen. Banks spoke here,
were misunderstood
Very respectfully,

there is constantly increasing
tendency against the old Mosaic
policy of an eye for an eye and a
tooth for tooth. The only right
object the law can have in view is
the protection of society, and the
only proper demand society can
make upon the law is protection.
Capital punishment, we insist, is a
relic of barbarism, and is unworthy
the civilization of the present day.
The idea involved is an exhibition
of the same spirit toward the pris-
oner that the prisoner exhibited
toward his victim, and if the Synod
of the Presbyterian Church of Iowa
North can justify this through the
teachings of Scripture, we confess
that we can see nothing in it of the
spirit of Christ nor Of any law of
his propounding. 1t has come to
this, that statutory law,to be respec-
ted, must rise to the cultivated SEN
sibilitles of the people. And, as
the standard ofthe people has been
raised, the torturing rack and the
guillotine have been dispensed with
and thus the gallows are becoming
odious and in due time will be reck.
oned among the things Of the past.
The world is progressing, and the
conspicuous evidence of the fact is
in this: That the powers of Love
are beating back the powers Of
Hate.

Capital Punishment,

The Sioux City Journal thinks
that the action Of the Synod, rath-
err than the action of the Legisla-
ture, should be characterized Gas
hasty and unwisc." 1t is quite
positive that the progress of
Christianity in the world is not to
be FASTENED, or in any degree pro-
noted by gibbeting people, or gull
lotining them, as q punishment for
crime. Thers arc cases where the
moral sense of the commuli ty will
instinctively feel that no punishment
short Of death shonld be melted out
to the criminal; but, in the general
ity Of instances, courts and juries
cannot religiously bring themselv es
to become accessories to the taking
of human life. The death penalty,
where it is still retained, has be-
come largely imperative. This is
so, not because crime is regarded
with less rcpulsion than hitherto, or
because there is more desire now
than heretofore to shield criminals
from justice; but it comes of directly
opposite causes-of the progress of
the people in civilization and of
their corresponding advance IN re-
fined and delicate moral instincts.
As great battles, where the dead are
counted by tho thousands, have .
tendency to cheaper human life
and stimulate the worse passions
of men, SO the gallows and all the
attendant scenes of the death pen
atty, have q tendency to corrupt
public morals. Tho history Of the
world bears out the assertion that

Hon. E. b. WAsHBURNE, U. S.
Minister to France, has returned
home, landing in New York on
Saturday evening last. All sorts of
surmises have been started by the
press relative to the cause for his
return, but this point was set at
rest by Mr.. Washburne, who de-
clared to reporter Of the N. Y.
Herald who interviewed him, that
he comes all the way from Paris to
vote for General Grant and take Il
small part in the close Of the cam
paign, and that he would return TO
his post as soon rs possible. We
suppose the truth is, that the old
warrior has been on ncttles du-
ring the whole campaign because
he could not take a part in it on the
stump, and has finally broken away,
determined to flesh his sword in the
final charge which precedes the
Republican victory.

of whose duty it was to investigate
the character of the indignitics put
upon immigrants, to the end that
they might be abated and ample
protection and security afforded to
the strangers. That agent, whose
report was model of conciscncss
and good sense, Astounding in valu-
able and practical suggestions for
the reforming of the abuses against
foreign people seeking our shores,
was J. Fred Meyers, a citizen of
German birth, and a capable, intel
ligent and painstaking employee of
one of the departments at Washing
ton, who upon recent visit to Du-
buque to tell in his candid, earnest,
courteous way what he knows of the
workings and results of the Govern
ment under Republican rule, was
stigmatized by the 2slegroloh's par
