THE DEATH PENALTY.

Iowa has tried the abolition of the
death penalty, and finding that hang
ing is best, has determined to resort to
1t again. But in Wisconsin, which
abolished the death penalty in 1866
twenty-three years ago-statistics elo-
quently prove that it is one of the
most orderly States in the Union. In
addition to Wisconsin, Rhode Island
and Michigan have abolished the death
penalty, and in Minnesota, Illinois
and Indiana no man can be executed
without unanimous recommendation
to that effect from the jury. In Cali
fornia it is discretionary with the Gov
ernor to commute any death sentence
to imprisonment for life.

A BEAUTIFUL PERORATION,

The following is the admirable pero-
ration Of Captain John Hampden
Chamberlayne's address in Richmond,
Virginia, on the anniversary Of the
birthday of General Lee: mot for
him shall the Arch of Triumph rise +;
not for him columns Of victory, telling
through monumental bronze the same
hideous tale of tears and blood which
grins from the skull-pyramids of Da-
honey. Not to his honor shall extort-
ed tributes carve the shaft or mold the
statute but this day grateful people
give of their poverty gladly, that in
pure marble, or time-defying bronze,
future generations may see the coun-
terfeit presentment of this MANTLE
ideal and bright consummate flower of
our civilization; not an Alexander, it
may be; nor Napoleon, nor Timour,
nor Churchill-greater far than they,
thank heaven--the brother and the
equal of Sidney, and of Falkland, of
Hampden, and Of Washington.

THE Legislature of Iowa, through
ignorance of the law, elected Kirk
wood as Senator week too soon. The
Federal law governs elections of this
character, and in their haste they were
week ahead of the day designated by
the statutes at large for the election of
United States Senator; so it will
all have to be done over again next
Tuesday, and Samuel ]. Kirkwood
may yet be defeated. But this is quite
improbable, as Belknap is dead cock
in the pit, and the other aspirant has
disbanded his forces and thrown up
the sponge.

THE st. Louis reporters are inter-
viewing Tennie G. Clahin, the avant
courier of Mrs. Woodhull,who proposes
to deliver her free-love lecture in that
city next month. Miss Clatlin is pro-
nounced pretty and eloquent, possess
ing those attributes of intellectual
strength that in no wise detract from
her many feminine attractions. She
gives her opinion Of Beecher and Til
ton, love and marriage in a style at
once unique and interesting. Would
it horrify Dallasites too much to hear
Mrs. Woodruff after the chaste lecture
of Elizabeth Cady Stanton? We sub
join sample of Miss Clailin's talk:
''The Beecher business,n said she,
sis very dirty business from begin
ming to end. A more indecent eXhi-
bition of immortality was never given
to the American public. II would be
hard to say who is guiltiest among all
the drdnldtis persona to this indecent
farce. All are guilty. Beecher was
forced, by certain considerations, to
marry his wife. He never did, and
does not now, love her. Tilton is the
veriest coxcOmb In the country. A
splendid personal presence he has, |
admit; but u more conceited ass Amer
lea never produced, In justice, he de.
served all he got from his wife. He
constantly neglected her. Frequently
he was away several months at q time
on hislecturing tours, leaving her alone
often TO provide for herself, aud liable
to any demoralizing influence which
might come along. Beecher's and Mrs.
Tilton's love was one of the most nat
ural things. He had wife whom he
could not love. She had a husband
she could not love because he neglect
ed her by staying away Therefore 1t
was but human and natural that
Beecher and Elizabeth should scra pc
up little love between themselves.
"Give us segment of your opinion
about Bessie Turner
'She is the funniest character in the
whole farce. The picture of Theodore
carrying her from one room to another
In his arms is little too ridiculous.
A woman who can be carried about In
that way, 1t occurs to me, must be
little willing herself. Pm afraid Bes-
sic Is not the innocent, unsophlsticate
thing she would have us believe. Her
stories are altogether apocryphal, and
lack those evidences of inspired truth
fulness which characterize the epistles
of the apostles. believe all she says
about Tilton, but don't swallow, as a
whole, her supplemented statements
about the manner In which she was
picked up aud lugged from bed to bed
without waking up. Tilton is o thor
ough coward. He had neither the
manhood to avenge his honor or hold
his tongue"
