The following. from our exchanges, Ia

CAPITAL PUNEsHnENT.

The recent bangings in various places
have given something Of an impetus to the
discussion Of the mode Of taking the life of
a criminSl. TIE ancient mode of hanging
is voted barbarous on all hands, and that
some quicker and easier mode of taking life
should be adopted. One suggests the gar
rote, another the guillotine, and now the
Minneapolis (Minn.) Tribune proposes that
poison or something else equally quiet be
substituted for aspbyxia, and that every
State have a general to supervise the
taking Of life according to law, who
shall prescribe the sort of poison and the
best method of administering it. "lt is
not certain" adds the Tribune, shut cleo
tricity Would be quieser aud better. Hogs
are now killed in Cincinnati with patent
battery. If the sheriff could walk gently
around behiad the prisoner, quietly apply
the end of the cesdly wire and crop him to
the earth, like pigeon deity shot on
wing, it would seem a little more in &C.
cordance with civilization" The Philadel-
phia Medical Times makes this suggestion:
"Why caunot condemned criminals spend
their last moments in room in which car
bonic acid is generated, by the well-known
means, until life is extiDcl? The very ST.
lence Of the process would be impressive.
The murderer would simply cease TO exist
among men, without any opportunity for
brsvado, without putting his power TO en-
dure against stronger power to torture.
The law would be vindicated, and the
brute courage Of the "game" convict would
have 10 chance to infect his associates"

PRESS AMENITIES.

A few days since special dispatch, re-
fleeing upon a contemporary, found its
way into the columns Of the Appeal. We
at once fastened to make amends Tor the
seeming intermeddiing in a matter that did
not concern US. The appeal will observe
this rule for the future. When two gentle
men are quaIreling, it is considered an IN
g1ntlemanly intrusion for third party to
take sides, and it is equally as ill-mannered
and obtrusive for newspaper 10 join in a
controversy between two others. Certain
it is the appeal will never become the re-
ceptacle for all the foul garbage, falsehoods
and insinuations which the press of the sur
rounding country may see proper to pour
out against CT y contemporary. Memphis
Appeal.
We know nothing Of the dispatch to
which the appeal refers above, but we
heartily approve the spirit of the paragraph
which we have quoted. A prominent fea-
ture in American journalism which attracts
the attention of every thoughtful reader is
g spirit of professional detrsction. Too
many editors in every State of the Union
seem to conduct their respective papers as
if their only hope Of success and sa.vation
was in the depreciation or denunciation of
their contemporaries. Instead of being a
bandsOf brothers, they act too often as if
they we're band of enemies. Instead of
feeling and unfolding pride of profession,
there are none so qnick to underrate the
work and worth of a professional brother.
The public can have but little respect for a
profession which manifests such lack of
respect for is own members.

WHO REAP THE BENEFITS.

1t has been stated and not contradicted,
that the Credit Mobilier suits, instead of be-
ing benefit 10 the government, will benefit
an inside ring Of stockholders in the Union
Pacific Railroad, who are also holders Of
shares in the Credit Mobllier. "One of the
parties interested in the suit" which is to
be brought against the corporators of the
Credit Mobilier in order to recover the
moneys unlSwfully taken from the Union
Pacific railroad, has confided TO the Wash
ington correspondent of the Boston
Trdueliei. tbs belief that it is the railroad,
aud not the United States, which is to be
benefited by the suit. The interested
person says that "to satisfy all hands, and
impress the people with the idea that some
body woul be made to suffer, the provision
of the bill authorizing the suit" was adopted
that either the Union Pacific or the United
States SHOULD be benefited by the suit"
eff" says this gentleman, "the proceeds of
TIE suit were to be handed over to the
Government, the House would never
have passed the bill" 1t is state
ment made by Chairman Wilson, of
No. 2 Committee, upon which he
POUNDS his belief that such win be the
practical result Of all this investigation and
pJther. He believes also that the New York
Exchange knew how things would turn out
when the bill was passed, for then Union
P-cifc stock stood at $50 share, as it con-
tinued to stand when the statement was
made. Should the Government pay off the
land and income bonds with the money it
may recover, the effect of the proceeding
would be simply to put Union Pacific stock
in as good condition as possible by putting
the road on a sound basis, and thus to en-
able the stockholders in the Credit Mobilier
to make as much money from the increase
as they will pay cut for the allotment.

some OF the Memphis papers cali the
funding law "a villsinous law" We pre-
sumo they take that from some of the Shell
oy representatives who exhausted them
selves on that subject and forgot or failedon
toe merchants tax, the extra court burdens
and other incidents of legislation In which
Memphis was locally Interested. The pres
ent and future of Memphis are deserving of
the highest consideration from The
people and Legislature of Tennessee,
and indeed by reason of her commercial
enterprise and prospects she IS ent tied to
to the highest consideration of the General
Government, But Memphis did not in toe
last legislature, and cannot from The Con-
gress Of the United States receive sny espe-
ciai consideration so long as her local rep
resentatives spit upon and contemn the
recognition and prompt payment of honest
debts of the State. Even the Radical party
have always made it a prominent feature
in their creed that the debt, State
and national, should be promptly paid
or fully and completely recognized in every
possible way by the General Assembly.
The Republican party have made it a point
against the South which has told terribly
against us in the North and in Europe,
where our emigration must come from, that
we did not meet our liabilities promptly,
and that reputation was one of the here
sizes which Southern politicians preached,
and upon which they hoped to ride into
Office. Upon this subject of funding what
we cannot pay, Nashville and Memphis are
as wide apart as the poles. The present of
Nashville is prosperous, her future
bright. Let the representatives of Memphis
fix a reputation for their city of hindering
and delaying q just adjustment Of their pub
Vic debt, and in five years the credit of the
city viii be a byword and her bonds scarce
ly worth the paper upon which they are
printed. This the commercial men of
Memphis must zee, however much aspiring
politicians and intriguing rings may attempt
to conceal the facts in order to promote
their individual purposes.

THE STUDY OF SOCIOLOGY.

Herbert Speucer's work on "The Study
of Sociology" cannot fail to have influence
On the thought and ultimately the action of
the best informed and most civilized ma
tions. The Popular Science Monthly for
April has reached US, and contains the
ninth chapter, which treats Of the 'Bias of
Patriotism" Chapter eight, which discuss
es the subject Of Educational Bias" is
ra' her more to our liking, and available for
citation. He says: "Instead of regarding a
man as manly in proportion as he possess
moral attributes distinctively human, we
regard him as manly in proportion as he
shows an attribute of beings from whom
We derive our words Of contempt.
1t was lately remarked by Mr.. Greg that we
take our point of honor from the prize
of honor from beasts. Nay, we take it
from beast inferior to those we are IA
miliar with; for the "Tasmanian devil" in
structure and intelligence, stands on much
lower level of brutality than our lions and
bulldogs" A system of public education
of children which makes them when grown
TO men and women, more brutal than bull
dogs and lions, needs reform. Man is not
so much a devil by nature, as be is
made such by early instruction
that is essentially devilish. The
artificial point Of honor that Graves the
sacrifice Of blood in a common duel is
matter Of education, not natural law. If
the duel is enlarged from two combatants
to a Thousand, to a million, the principle
of the transaction is not altered. Physical
courage and skill in human butchery, be-
long, legtimately, to man in his primitive
and savage state, and to beasts of prey.
To perpetuate the domination of inferior
brutality indefinitely in the future, we ex-
pend full half of all that our industry pro-
duces from year to year, over aud above
consumption. Habit that has become
our second nature and a cast
iron system Of education do this
Our Presidents must be fighting men; not
men of high moral and intellectual culture
ard attachments. To honor brutality as
practiced in war, is to offer large premiums
on vice ana crime, and reap harvest far
greater Than any one expected. The real
difficulty lies in the fact that sound moral
culture and hero-Eorship are Incompatible.
If society adopts the one, it will unavoid-
ably destroy the other. While our nomi-
nal idols are ideal and pure, our real idols
dixie the almighty dollar are at once IN
ideal and devilish. Why does society pay
so much respect to dead capital, and so
little to the living producers of capital?
The millions who labor long and hard to
give existence to wealth almost fall down
and worship it; while the science and peO-
pie that produce all this property, receive 10
consideration whatever. This is material.
ism with a vengeance. Is there not some
defect in our religious cultivation which
leads society into such tcne of mind and
feeling? That materialism is idolatry, few
will DENY. That idol worship is debasing,
is fact so plain to well informed persons
that the wonder is that they do not unite
to correct tie evil. Like oyer-ripe fruit,
society is becoming rotten at the core.
