Quietude was still the prevailing feature Of the
merchandise markets, and business was restricted
The markets were almost universally firm, how
over, and nearly all descriptions OF merchandise
were held at full or advanced figures. The firm
ness In the breadstuns market was che main
feature on Change, but there was much frmness in
other Departmental. Flour was very firm, with
every probability OF further advance at an early
day. Wheat was also frmer, but so much decep-
ton and prevarication with regard to the grade
and price are practised nowadays that 1t
Is well nigh impossible TO either gain or impart an
accurate idea OF the market. There was some ex-
port demand, but transactions were restricsed by
the extreme views OF holders. though steam
ireights were easier. Corn was taken to some OK
tent for shipment ct unchanged prices. Oats were
trife better. Whisky was unsettled and decid-
eddy lower, though the receipts were light In the
provisions market there was q pretty strong un-

without regard to party liues aud afnliatious.
From the beginning u The canvass very little
interest was manifested In tho campaign by
either side, and the Issue can hardly be a
matter Of surprise.
There Is one point, however, in the election
which interests, or ought to interest, the pco-
pic Of Washington. During the progress Of
the canvass q series ot attacks were made
upon the Hon. Mr.. starkweathcr for his
friendly action toward the District In the last
Congress. Tho little clique who have been
opposing improvements in this city did all
they could to strike him down and effect his
defeat. Crane wrote letters to the Norwich
Advertiser dCnouncing him as an upholder Of
the washington ring, and charging upon
him all manner Of fraud and corruption. All
the ISLANDERS and Misrepresentation Of the
New York Sun were rchashed md served up
with additions and improvements Crane

ruR BUSINESS OF ruE REPUBLICAN,

The business patronage Of the REPUBLICAN
was never better than II is at present, as will
he seen by reference to our advertising coll
umns. The favors Of our friends crowd us to
such an extent that we have room for only
four columns Of reading matter upon our
first page, In which, however, will be found
all the general news Of the world. This evil
deuce Of the appreciation Of the business
men Of Washington Is highly encouraging tC
us In our eaortsto make newspaper worthy
Of the capital city Of the country. Al the
present time We arc eSpending more money
than any paper ever published In this city
We are not In the habit Of making mere per
soual boasts, but we think We only reacct
public sentiment when We say that the RE-
PUBLICAN Ia the best newspaper and the bcst
advertising medium In the city. Our circula'
tIou ls steadily upon the increase, not only In
the city but In the adjoining States, as we
shall be happy to show every one who de-
slres information upon the subject.

CAPITAL PUSIsHsIRNr.

Iowa abolished capital punlshmcnt q lit
tie more than year ago. The upholders
Of the "barbarous code" have recently pointed
to that State as an evidence that the abolition
Of the gibbet, so far from preventing crime,
had directly the opposite effect. To show
how unfounded that statement Is we copy the
following from the Adair Oowa) Reporter!
''when Iowa wisely abolished the death pen
atty for capital crimes, the predictions were
lnnumerable that It's abolition would be followed
by an Increase OF such crimes as direct and
necessary consequence, Not long after the re-
peal OF the law IL did happen that several cases
OF murder occurred In quick succession. This
colneldence-for Il was nothing else-was seized
upon by the upholders Of capital punishment rs
the new law, and as evidence Of their foresight.
Their theory was, that In the pIemedltation OF
crime the criminal "a chleny Influenced by the
nature OF the punishment, and that the ceath
penalty alone could deter such men from crime;
that, on the abolition Of the death penalty, free
rein was given TO the passions OF evil men, and
crimes at the time when they occurred was a
mere coincidence Ia evident from the fact that
10 those States where capital punishment has
IN 9I cS%parsoS o3T Of he t%o mesSods he ssst
tics OF crime have proved that capital punish
ment does not tend to the suppression Of capital
crimes as eneetnally as imprisonment i3r iife;
the punishment that In the controlling Influence
with the criminal classes. The controlling In
nuences with such persons, II their blind, head.
long passions give room either for reflection or
anticipations, are, we think, not the character
Of the punishment, but the chances OF escaping
any punishment whateYer. None understand
better than the criminals themselves how I'M
certain the law is; they become familiar with the
various technlcalities and eyasions by which the
law ls Outwitted, and II becomes part OF their
daily thought that the chances OF escaping de-
tectlon, aided TO the chances Of escaping when
detected through bribery, ohlcanery OF stupidity,
are much more than even with the chances Of
punishment, This thought becomes q nNed be-
lief In time, and governs the criminal as though
u were an Instinct. The change In the penalty
will have the effect OF rendering punishment for
capital crimes more certain. Tue punishment OF
an innocent person IA not now lTTeparahle and so
terrible TO contemplate as under the old law"

mn. GARRETT's ORGAN AGAIN.

lis well-known fact in newspaper circles
that John W. Garrett, the president Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, has
been anxious for years to obtain newspaper
In this city that would defend him 10 his un-
just determinations against Washington. Il
seems that he has been at lat successful.
The champion Of every railroad monopoly
that has money to pay and work to he done
has undertaken to uphold his cause In this
community; to apologize for the extortions
upon our merchants; to commend the policy
that would make Washington mere suburb
Of Baltimore, and q mere waysidc station,
second TO Alexandria, upon the line of
Southern travel DR.. Durant, credit mo-
bilieI, the New York Central, and John W.
Garrett certainly make a curious compound.
In calling upon the business men Of Wash
ingtou 70 sustain Mr.. Garrett the Chronicle
simply asks them to help encourage and sup
port the man who has in every way he could
cpdesyored to destroy their trade, aud kill
the commerce Of the city. II Is like asking
the victim 10 aid and support the highway
man VINO has robbed him.
