MOckevies Of Justice.

1t is sickening to reflect on what
mockeries Of justice murder trials arc
becoming in this country. There was
case in Ohio, the other day, which is
IN point. A young man named Cham
berlaln got up in the night, found his
fathers gun, loaded it carefully with
three balls III the barrel, and walked
half mile to the house of an old man
named McConnougiley. Taking aim
through the window, he fred and
lodged the three balls in the old mans
body. Returning home, he left the
gun where he had found it and returned
to bed. On the following morning he
visited McConnoughey's house and
stole SIS from the body OF the muir
dered man. Chamberlain:s trial took
place tewdays ago. He had confessed
his crime, and the defence was insan-
ity. After the conclusion of the testi-
mony. the prosecuting attorney stated
that he had concluded to ask for
a verdict of guilty of murder
in the second degree; the Judge
acceded, and the jury could only find
as they were directed. The ineffable
aEsurdity of this result will be appre-
ciated when it is stated that by the
statutes Of Ohio murder in the second
degree IS killing ''without premedita-
ton or deliberation.' But even more
Infamous was the verdict in the case of
the man West, ct Dover, Del. The
circumstances of his crime have been
more than once referred to in these
topics. He killed his negro servant,
skinned his body, and then sought to
have it passed off as his own, that his
wife might secure $4,000 insurance
upon his life. The counsel for the
prisoner made Il double-barrclc,l de-
Tense, insanity and se)f-dcfcnsc, and
the jury actually accepted the latter
theory and acquitted the murderer.
Two such verdicts in one week might
very naturally be followed by Il dozen
murders during the next.

This is considerably greater than the

ployed in textile manufactures Of England

sufficient to drive all tho 2j,000,000

This sir, is not So Let US 60 little in

ti6c analysis develops the presence in due
troportion Of elements Of extraordinary
fertility, comparing favorably with the
most celebrated soils Of the world. Tho
practical results of agriculture, amply
confirm this theoretic excellence. We
find that the amount Of wheat. oats, corn,
barley, rye, and potatoes, raised per acre,
compared with the similar products of
other States, gives Minnesota no mean po-
sition among the agricultural States. But
on the other hand. we find our State near
the top OF the list. Our great railroad
facilities make easy markets. La regard
to our healthy climate it is needless 10 line
to say but little. Minnesota has world
