CAPITAL PUNISHMENT vs. mon vio-
LENcE.


~ IS indeed nice thing 60 d
away with capital punishment. Sine
Iowa did it, about two years ago
scarcely week has passed by with
out some brutal murder in that State
and in nearly every case the outraged
citizens have taken the Law in thei.
own hands and dealt out that sum
mary justice to the murderer which
the lenient laws of that State nc
longer infict. The last case Of the
kind is reported from Ottumwa
Iowa, where policeman, AL. Hogan
was shot through the heart by Q
rough whom he was attempting tc
arrest. In few hours afterwards
the citizens assembled and there was
q lamp-post matinee, and the OF
tumwa Democrat of the next morn
ing after the tragedy, has the follow
ing on the subject:
Last night (June 2Sth) about 8
O'Clock the news came up town that
policeman was killed in the lower
part of the city. A Democrat re-
porter was among the first to hear
the news, and quickly repaired to the
scene. 1t was at the foot Of College
street, near the railroad, and there
laid AL. Logan, one of the most
promising young men on the force,
with bullet through his heart, lying
dead in the street. His bosom was
partially exposed where the wound
could plainly be seen, and also the
burnt hole in his shirt bosom, in
that his murderer had taken
sure aim at close range. The poor,
dead victim lay calm and peaceful
with his face turned up to the stars,
as if invoking the vengeance of
Almighty God ON his brutal mur-
derer. And soon his murderer was
hanging stark and stiff to a lamp
post.
"Who will be the next? Is a
question which seriously affects
svery citizen OF Ottumwa. Now,
within o brief period of time, two
,itizens of our town have been ruth
essly murdered on the streets. John
Shea's murder was fully as unpro-
Eoked and cruel as this one. No one
vas hung for participating in Shea's
murder, and the roughs we're en-
,oldened. Since that time they have
made various attempts on the lives
II peaceable citizens, but were un-
uccessful until they found the young
policeman in the dark corner. They
inew that there was no hanging for
murder in Iowa that there is even
of wearing out even case
4 murder; that juries can be bought,
II officers bribed. Hence the bold
less Of the scoundrels who roam the
treetH Of Ottumwa at night, ready
evolver or bludgeon to knock out
he brains of any citizen who dares
o interfere with them in their career
I crime. The question then comes
p, "Who will be the next viotim~
s Ottumwa to be overrun by a set of
oughs and desperadoes, because the
aw is lame? Self preservation indi-
ates o remedy, and although we
eprecate mob law or anything ap-
roaching to it, yet we do say that
very lawabiding and peacably dis
osed citizen should be constantly
to resist the first attempt,
ither at burglary or murder, with a
orce which will prove sufficient to
ettle the question between brutality
nd decency."

TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA-Oue
of the anomalies of commerce Is found
in the statistics representing the i'm
pOrtatiOnS of the South American
States. \ very large portion Of these
importationS are articles in the produc.
ton of which the United States are
admitted to excel their European com
petitors, yet Europe carries off nearly
all the trade. In the manufacture Of
agricultural and mining machinery,
aud in many descriptions of impie-
ments, the Americans have demon
strated their superiority in Europe,
but apparently not in the southern
portion of our own continent. The
importations into Chile during the
year 1873. were S37 ,929 ,427, of which
the United States contributed S2,094,-
24S, England slS,475, ,1l6, France
S6,742,7 ,790, and Germany 81, ,l67 ,926.
European goods are transported seven.
teen thousand miles or over, while the
port of San Francisco and those OF
Chile are comparatively neighbors.
The Panama Star says that in price
and quality Americans can compete
with similar goods usually sent from
Europe but for some reason or other
Americans do not seem to have taken
hold Of South American trade with
their usual energy.

TIE PoLITIcAL STRUGGLE iS oHlo.-
1t is only two weeks from Tuesday
next that the State election OF Ohio
occurs, and it is of great Importance
to the whole nation, as whichever
party obtains the victory the triumph
will reach far beyond an ordinary
party success in State even as large
as Ohio. The result now seems TO be
a doubtful one as between Allen and
HAYES, and this election occurring IN
the year previous to the presidential
contest in The only doubtful State
which votes for a governor IN Octo-
Der, will have an important bearing
upon the coming presidential contest
If the republicans do not recapture
Ohio, what great State which went
over to the democracy last year can
they reasonably expect to win back IN
1876? Evidently this contest is waged
with these contingencies in view, Judg-
ing from the vigor if not desperation
with which it is fought.

The Indian bOHaAAo
There is faint hope that the lnffan

ments might force themselves TO the
surface; yet their delicate treatment
is only partially Successful: In fact,
the Indian egg is SO Hall OF fraud lhat

gard for the cloth that is smlrched-
Recent developments leave 1t hardly
possible for Secretaty Delano TO escape

can hardly have taken place without

SPAiN.-Spain has a new ministry.
This news will scarcely surprise any
one, for Spain is the land Of the un-
toreseen and unexpected. The late
Ministry disagreed on the subject of
the election of new Cories. The LID
erals were anxious that the election
should take place under universal suf
frage, but the reactionary party de

the new cabinet it seems certain that
the liberals have carried their point.
The new Corres will, in all probabil

1t is TO be hoped that 10 new folly

the liberal party to enianger the re-

INDIAN AGENT.-It is TO us a source of un-
alloyed qualification TO be enabled to an
nounce the appcintmen. of Gen. R. II. Mil
roy, as Indian agent to succeed Mr.. Gibson,
whose sudden death was recorded few weeks
ago. The appointment was worthy bestowed
aud will give general satisfaction There
ale six reservations that will be under his
control The Nesqually. Puysllup, Squa1on,
MuckIeahoot, Chehalis and ShOalwater Bay.
He will likely assume the duties of the posi-
tion at an early day.
Gen. Milroy will be recollected as a former
Superintendent of Indian affairs for Wash
ington territory, and who at the time of bis
removal was resting under grave charges.
His reappointment under the circumstances
looks like the work of the Indian " ring"
and indicates that some scheme of rascality
is to be carried out. Oh, the hounds
