Hon. w. g. Donnan.

We find the following well de
served tribute to the ability and eff
cheney of our fellow citizen and
member of Congress from this Dis
trict in the Washington correspon-
ence of the Denison Revie,c..
Before leaving Congressional mat
tiers for other subjects, l wish to
speak of one Of the most prominent
members of the Iowa delegation, w.
G. Donnan, of the Third District.
Mr.. Donnan has, during his legisla-
tive career, won the esteem, good
will and respect of all with whom he
has come in contact. A ready and
eloquent speaker his remarks are
always listened to with an attention
seldom awarded any one; as bust
ness man and general worker he has
no superior in the House of Reprcscn-
tatives, and in assisting his -constit-
uents and devotion to their interests
his example is well worthy Of emula-
ton. Let us hope that when he de-
clined to be candidate for re-elec.
ton he did not permanently withdraw
from politics; such men are too valll.
able to lose.

Death of Gerrit Smith.

This large-hearted philanthropist,
and pure public man died on Monday
while on visit to New York, in the
nth year of his age. Mr.. Smith
was a man of liberal education, grad
uating from Hamilton Collegein 1918,
but studied no profession till late in
life. In 1853, he was admitted to
the bar, and subsequently conducted
several important trials. But it was
as practical philanthropist and bene-
factor of his kind that he gained the
fame that will ever keep his memory
green in the hearts of his country
men. He early fell heir to an i'm
mense landed estate, and from that
time to his death his generous heart
and purse was ever open to the calls
of humanity and reform. He iden-
tilted himself with the American
Anti-Slavery Society, and during the
long contest with the slave power
was the foremost figure in the hosts
of freedom, contributing lavishly Of
his time and means to equip and
operate the underground railroad
and kindred undertakings to cripple
the great wrong. When the war
broke out he was one of the most
uncompromising advocates of it's Wig
orous prosecution, spending much
money, and contributing by pen and
speech to the same end.
Gerrit Smith was strong oppon-
ent of land monopoly, and gave en-
phasis to his views in that direction
by the generous distribution of about
100000 acres of his large landed
estate, in small lots, among poor
black and white men.
A man of sublime moral courage,
worshiper Of justice and right, a
great hearted-lover of his kind, gen
erous, sympathetic, just and upright,
his whole life stands out as one of
the best examples Of unselfsh man.
hood which our country has ever pro-
duced. His foibles leaned to virtues

whose lot has been made better by
his unselfiSh labOrs

Special Telegram to the Inter -Oceal

WASHINGTON, Dec. pa portion
Of the Caucus Committee of the Sen
ate on Southern affairs met to-day,
but no definite action could be taken
for want Of q quorum. There will
be q full agreement to + cognizc the
Kellogg government. This point is
already settled in the resolution re-
lating to Pinchback. There is very
deep feeling among all the members
of the committee in regard to the
state Of affairs in the South, and
quite large number are openly i'll
favor of formally calling on the Pres
ident by resolutions to suspend the
writ of habeas corpus in several sec
tons Of the South, and arrest and try
murdcrcrs wherever found by the
military authorities. The decision
of Judge Bradley, by which the en-
forcement act has been stripped of
every power over the provisions which
Congress intended to give, is openly
characterized by some prominent
members OF the Senate as worse than
the Drcd-Scott decision. The exact
manner in which the perpetrators of
crimes against person can be dealt
with by the United States, the Senate
Committee finds, under the circum-
stances, 4 most difficult question to
decide; but the feeling is almost
unanimous that in some way the gov
ernment must reach the case and pro-
tect life in the South, or stand dis
graced. The President is in earnest
in this matter, and in some way in
tends to reach the perpetrators of
these crimes and bring them to pun
ishmcnt.

Capital Punishment.

Capital punishment was two years
ago abolished in Iowa. Thus the
highest penalty for crime in this State
is imprisonment for life. Those op
posed to the abolition Of capital pun
ishment are making a point out OF
the recent mob lynching at our State
capital, when a man sentenced to i'm
prisonment for life, for murder, was
taken out of Jail by Il mob and hung.
They say this mobocratic spirit would
never have been exhibited had our
laws permitted sentence of death
by hanging the criminal. The peo.
pie though he deserved hanging. and
they hung him. i; the jury, to
whom all the testimony and argu-
ments were offered, were out three or
four days, and finally brought in a
verdict of guilty" but in the second
degree. There were and are doubts
as to Towards real guilt of the crime
of numbering Johnson. No matter
what other crimes he may have com
mitted in his reckless life, the evil
dence, in the opinions of many, did
not sustain this charge. So the jury
seemed to think, and under their YER
diet of murder in the second degree,
even by our old laws, capital punish
mcnt could not have been inflicted
on the criminal. While Dcs Moincs
seems to illustrate that abolition of
capital punishment in this State has
increased murder rs Il crime, the OK
pcriencc of the rest of the State
proves the reverse.
But aside from this,a responsibility
is sought to be attached, especially
to our Senators, for in the Senate of
Iowa there was bitter fight over
this question, for putting through this
anti-capital punishment measure. We
give the votes Of Senators on the
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1875-01-01
Louisiana,

The Returning Board of Louisi-
ana, after six weeks of patient, care
full investigation and examination of
the returns of the election in that
State, have finally made up their re-
port, which is published. The Board
had before it ample proofs of intinl-
idation of Republican voters, white
and black, by the White League, by
which, in some localities, they were
kept entirely away from the polls,
and thus victory was assured for
the Democratic candidates. Where
the existence of this state of terror
ism was clearly established, the
Board threw out the returns, in some
cases of whole parishes, and of GER
tain voting precincts of other par
ishes. The final decision of the
Board give the Republican candidate
for State Treasurer a majority of 95s;
the returns as originally filed with
the Board, gave the Democratic can
didate 1880 majority. The decision
of the Returning Board also gives
the Republicans a majority of two in
the Legislature, against fifteen or
twenty claimed by the Democrats.
The PRONUNCIATION of this decision
is the occasion of intense excitement
and turbulent manifestations among
the Democratic White Leagues. This
organization is determined to rule at
any expense of blood and anarchy,
and is threatening and preparing for
sanguinary work at the assembling
of the Legislature, which occurs on
Monday. 1t is anticipated that the
White League will at that time make
an attempt, by force to install the
candidates declared not elected by
the Returning Board. Numbers of
young men are leaving Shreveport
and other towns in northern Louisi-
ana for New Orleans, where they
will be provided with arms by the
White League, in anticipation Of =
general fight on Monday.
In view of the gravity of the sit
uation Gen. Emery, in command Of
the government troops at New Or
leans, has been superseded by Gen.
Terry, and Gen. Phil Sheridan has
been directed by the President to re-
pair to that city, to be present during
the anticipated troubles, and to take
command of the forces should occa-
sion require it. The President is
evidently determined to maintain law
and order by all the authority in his
power, and the sending of Gen. Sher-
idan to the scene of conflict shows
how earnest he is in this purpose.
Meantime, the Democratic press Of
New Orleans, in advance of his arri-
val, are assailing Gen. Sheridan with
course vituperation and vile epithet,
through all of which is seen the
malignant rebel hate felt for him as the
gallant and patriotic Union soldier
who dealt such fearful blows at trea-
son and rebellion,
