For the Essex County Herald.


There remains for our consideration
the crime of murder, and to this crime
it is supposed by some that the pun-
ishment of death should be affixed,
even though it should be dispensed
with in all other cases. The object
Of punishment is the security of soci-
ETY. by the prevention Of crime, and
the reformation OF the criminal. If
society have the right to take away
life in an! case, nothing but an abso-
lutte necessity can justify the exercise
Of that right; and such absolute ne
eessity, if clearly made out, would
Justify capital punishment in any
other case as we'll as in that of muir
der. The experience of Great Brit
.ain proves that the threatened penalty
of death cannot prevent or essentially
diminish the frequency Of such crimes
rs horse-stealiug, house-breaking,
shop-lifting, forgery, or even simple
larceny. If the tenor of such pun
lishment be not sufficient to deter from
lesser crimes, much more certain is it
that it cannot prevent murder, to
which the guilty must be drawn by
much more powerful temptations, or i'm
PEELED by much more violent passions.
and which is therefore much less under
the control Of any reasonable caleu.

en- route. It viii require o largo and well
drilled force to accomplish this and 1t Is be-
lieved the necessary persons can DO 1ouha
among the present employees OF tho Depart
mcnt along the road. They number at present
1OC, who arc the remnant of over three hum
dred who have been appointed and thoroughly
tested. OF course it would be impossible for
any one squad of clerks to be on duty along
the whole route. Six hours Of work, such as
they would be required to do, would sufficiently
tax the energies of any man. Relays OF clerks
will therefore be stationed Mt Syracuse, Builiilo
and Toledo.
The first question which will arise in read
ing of this enterprise will be whether It's evil
dent advantages will be enough to compensate
for the additional expense of this tremendously
rapid service. II will surprise all but the
inflicted to learn that it will not cost one cent
additional expense. The railroads have met
the Government in the most generous spirit.
In nothing has the recent management OF the
Department been more admirable than in it'
success in so concentrating the transmission OF
mail matter along great thOroughfares that the
expense of it grows comparatively less as its
volume increascs, This i. one OF the principal
recommendations of the plan IN question:
1t provides Cor the carriage and distribution
of His vast mass of correspondence
and information, at speed far Out'ripplng
t,at of any ordinary storm, at an expense
below that of sending it 10y the ordinary and
slower channels. The Changers may attack II
M new scheme of hcartlesS moncpoes; but
il will do them good in spite of themselves
and take no money out of .hcir pockets. Os
It's effects upon the journalism of New-forh
and the West it il yet too early to speak II
is useless to deny that it will have some effect
but all will he to the advantage of the read
ing public and conducc, rs all things may be
SAID to do to the survival of the tttcst.

4 FIST CON7TyENTAL NAIL.

The present administration Of the Post Office
Department promises to leave behind it an
cn,Mblc reputation for sincere, honest. aud
untiring efforts to improve the postal service.
These effort are Ivy no means confined to Gov.
Jewell, though they owe much OF their recent
success to Lis earnest cooperation and encour-
agement Men like Dir. Bangs, inside OF the
Department, and men like our Postmaster
James, outsile of it. have shown us how easy
il is to do good work and to make substantial
progress upon all their predecessors have done,
if officials will only cOnlDe themselves to their
duties and devote all their time and attention
20 improving the service, instead of running
primaries or screaming for the straight ticket
We will not cnumerate all the advantages we
owe to this sort Of officers We desire at this
time only to congratulate our readers upon
another project Of the Department, which
though net yet perfected is far enough ad-
vanced to deserve mention and gratitude from
everybody who uses the mails.
The principal mail route of the country now
and for years past has run along the shores of
the great lakes. Nearly 10 per cent Of the
maa matter sent from NewYork goes by that
way. The PoStmaster-Gencral has, therefore,
naturally selected that route for fast mail
train to tho Wost. They are now en-
gagged in organizing and equipping such II
train. and it is expected that it will begin to
ran 10y the first of October. Ii will make the
distance from New-York to Chicago in not more
than 90 hours, and they hope to reduce the time
10 "a. This will be II great advantage to all the
country between here and Chicago, but will be
of still greater benefit to the States west of
Chicago, as it will give them gain of twelve
hours over the present mail and express trains.
This will be for the great North Western
country equivalent 10 the annililation OF 30
per cent of the distance which separates les
people from their correspondents in New-Yorl;
and the East. The Importance of this gain is
too evident to dwell upon, aud the results of
it will be seen in many ways. The amount of
mail matter TO be carried by this train will be
enormous. There will be four large postal
ears of improved construction, capable of car
rying 80 tons Of matter, and it IL thought by
the Department that the amount - be carried
will reach IL tons before the expiration of six
months. The greater part of the worN OF distrhu-
ton VIII be done on the ears. Newspapers will he

r1imsoil's disclomres-thero are owners 10 dis
credited that reputable companies will not un.
derwrite for them, and il is common enough
in subscribing policy Of insurance upon goods
to be shipped from certain port, in vessels
unknown, to exclude by name the vessels
belonging to particular owners of bad Dotoriety.
Outcasts of this sort form mutual clubs
and insure one another, and sometimes 30 per
cent Of the tonnage represented by such clubs
has been lost in a single year. with proper
tionatc number Of lives.
In attacking these abuses Dir. PlimsOll has
not hesitatcd to assail tho owners by name,
and occasionally he has succeeded in reforming
them by q mere threat Of exposure. fIe men,
tons one person who lost four ships from
overcoming in 1868 and seven In 1869; los
sailors were known to have pcrshed in these
disasters, although OF one shipwreck there was
no return. 81 threatened him TO his face that
" / would bring the matter before the House
" of Commons. This man has not lost single
seamans life since" But the owners are
not all so tractable. There are several who
have seats in the House of Commons and in
fuence with the Board of Trade, and 1t is to
their malign interference that Mr.. PlimsOll at
tributes the meagcr result which has thus far
attended his Iabors. A Royal Commission was
appointed more than two years ago to devise
me,sules for the correction Of the seamens
wrongs, and q Parliamentary Commission was
subsequently created for the same purpose. The
only visible fruit of all the agitation 30 far is
the merchants shipping bill which Mr.. Disraeli
has announced his intention of abandoning.
Mr. Plimsoll has several times betrayed undue
excitabiliy but when we remember what in-
fucnces he believes to be arrayed against his
bill, what a weary time has already elapsed
since he began to demand justice and human
ty for the sailor, and what bitter trials every
man has to contend with who enters upon .
crusade in England against vested abuses.
perhaps we shall not wonder at the unseemiy
violence of his demonstration in tho House Of
Commons.

IJBELS ON THE DEAD.

The venerable Peter Cooper, whose character
is held in universal and meTted respect, has
published pamphlet advocating the 800
scheme of oSsiqgats. We mention the TACT
with sincere regret, which is the greater since
our discovery that Mr. Cooper has been made
a tool to circulate wanton libel on the
memories of Webster and Calhoun. About
midway in his Letter on the Currency Mr.
Cooper observes that " make gold "the
"standard of all values and the legal
lied measure of all trade and ex-
"chanse in this country. would be i'll
" direct opposition to the opinion of many of
" the wisest Statesmen that our country has
prodaced.n In support of this extraordinary
statement, Mr.. Cooper quotes what purp0rt 10
be the opinions of Webster and Calhoun
These pretended opinions, which the estimablc
philantlropist must have copied without ycri-
fcation from some inAationist pamphlet, are
the basest literary forgories we remember to
have met with.
The pretended quotation from Webster reads
as follows in Mr. Cooper's pamphlet:
