How Imprisonment for Murder
 Works.

In late number of The New York World, we find the following pointed remarks on this subject:
 A couple of years ago the legislature of Iowa, affecting the melting mood and dropping the pitying tear on ac- count of gentleman appointed to die because of mistaken idea of owner ship in another gentleman's life, abol- ished capital punishment. The result has been an immense increase Of capi- tai crimes and a no less immense in crease of lynchings, here, if anywhere and ever, comparatively inexcusable At Des MOines a short time since, there were nine murder cases, all new, on the docket of the criminal court. Last week six murders of peculiar atrocity If there can be said to be a degree of atrocity in crimes against life, were re- ported from various parts of the State. Almost every jail in the State contains a wretch guilty of rape or incest, and offenseS of this nature are literally of daily occurrence. The result will be the establishment of the gallows as soon as the next legislature meets, and in the interim a good deal of irregular hanging It is true that hanging is about as bad a use as man can be put to, but it is no worse than that to which he puts his victim.
Arizona citizen., 1875-08-07
EASTERN STATES.

Duncan, Sherman & Co.,, heavy New York bankers, failed about July 28. Travellers abroad holding letters of credit from the house are said to be secured, with very few exceptions.
 The report that Beecheris paper, The Christian Union, has lost ground since the great trial, is said to be untrue.
 On the 30th ult., wool in Philadel- phia stood: For medium 2S@31; coarse California 24@25; California medium 3O@35.
 July 25, cyclone passed over Foun- tain county, Indiana, tearing houses to pieces, uprooting trees and sweeping away things generally. Five women were killed
 A New York dispatch of July 30, says the Cuban insurgents have cap tured an immense convoy near Puerto Principe. Half of the Spanish were placed hOrs de combat near Remitios. The rebels drove the Spanish column to their intrenchments, killed 150, and captured their baggage and $150,OO0 in casi.. It is also reported that the Spanish bank refuses to lend the gov ernment two millions on account of non-payment of previous loan.
 A New York dispatch of August 2, says California wool is lower; that many eastern mills had closed and oth- CTS would in this month. Manufactur- ing in Great Britian is fully as gloomy as in the United States.
 Reports come from New York that there is a prospect that the Western Union Telegraph company will absorb the Atlantic and Pacific company's lines.
 The public debt was reduced in July $1, 1,2O5, ,OO0.
 At Washington, suitable military and naval hOnors have been ordered in memory of the late ex-President John- son.
 A Chicago dispatch of August 3, says an arrest of a gang of counter feiters had just been made at St. Paul, with their printing press and chemi calls complete for carrying on the bus mess, and also one hundred thousand dollars partially completed currency.
