are contrary to public policy.
Special privileges are not con-
sistent with the rule of equal
rights, and special charters can
vest no exclusive privilege ad-
verse to popular rights. The
chartered rights of the O. S. N.
Co. to the exclusive right of way
to the portages on the Columbia
river does not, and cannot, vest
in that company the perpetual
monopoly of the navigation OF
the river by holding the key OF
the portages. The legislature
has the reserved right, and we
trust will exercise that right
fairly and judiciously, in pre-
scribing the conditions upon
which the portage railroads shall
be kept open to public use.
There are other matters which
will be brought before the legis-
ature, upon which we may COM
ment hereafter.

The granting of divorces ha

The granting of divorces has
been a very profitable branch of
business in Utah, and, it is need
less to say, has been attended
with more looseness, irregulari-
ty and infamy than in any other
portion Of the country. The
proceedings now on foot in the
United States courts at Salt
Lake will have the effect Of ex-
posing the whole system, and if.
as is expected, they will also ex-
pose the persons in the different
parts Of the country who avail
ed themselves of the rascality
and corruption existing there it
will be only what they deserve.

PATCH assails DR.. Baker very much
after the style OF fish huckster. 1t
is eininently proper that the public
press should discuss the question of

that can be done temperateiy and

who happened to have invested their
means in railroads.
The above paragraph shows what
a soothing influence a few dollars

English language sufficiently vio-
lent to express Newell's hatred of
Baker. All men have their price,

flourishing his knife and Bennett
trying to disarm him by superior
physical strength, when Baxter,
with the intention Of separating
the combattants, seized hold of
Thompson from behind, and the
latter, regarding him as a new
assailant, gave a back thrust
with his knife, giving Baxter
the fatal wound in the abdomen,
after which he broke the knife
across his own knee to keep it
from falling into the hands of

Stanley, the Explorer.

Three years ago the New York
Herald equipped an expedition
under the management of STAN
ley, to determine the source of
the Nile, and that intrepid ex-
plorer and geographer will no
doubt solve the mystery which
las puzzled the world from the
time of the Ptolemies to the
present day. This being exclu-
sively a journalistic enterprise,
its success will be hailed with
pride by the press of the world
The Herald thus alludes to Stan
ley's passage from the east coast
Of Africa to the Congo river:
"Stanley chronicles thirty-two
battles with the savages. He
therefore had to fight his way
down the river day by day, and
Of course had to kill some more
of these precious children of ma
ture. This will greatly distress
the philanthropists IN London,
who will again appeal to the
British government to declare
him a pirate. Their humane but
rather impractical view Is that
a leader in such position should
permit his men to be slaughter
ed by the natives and should be
slaughtered himself and let dis
covery 90 to the dogs, but
should never pull a trigger
against this species of human
vermin that puts its uncomprom-
ising savagery in the way Of all
human progress and all increase
of knowledge. Fortunately it
is not necessary to champion the
gallant explorer against this
species Of philanthropic mania.
1t is shadow upon the splen-
did success that young Pocock
has proved victim to the diff
culties Of the journey. An EVIL
dence of the exceptional capaci-
ty of Mr.. Stanely to endure the
hardships of this species of ad-
venture, and of the exceptional
good fortune that seems to at
tend his passage through SO ma
ny perils, is to be seen in the
fact that in one way or another
his white associates perish on all
his journeys. Injured to breathe
that fever laden air and accus-
toned to the perilous chances
of the wilderness Stanley natur,
ally passes through where 9th
ers fail; yet but for the upiform
fatality to all less tempered to
hardship the world would be
apt to underrate the peril"

The Death Penalty.

last, was the first white man who
ever suffered the death penalty
under the laws of this Territory,
and the most deplorable incident
of this execution was, that a very
large majority of the intelligent
people Of the vicinage in which
the crime was committed and
the execution took place are
firmly of the opinion that the
prisoner suffered for a crime to
which the law attaches q less
penalty than that of death. 1t
cannot be properly characterized
as a "judicial MURDER" for that
would imply malicious intent on
the part of those empowered to
administer and execute the laws.
But without reproach upon the
powers that be, it may be re-
garded as !. mistake of human
judgment, to which all men are
liable, however exalted in intel
lect, position or purity Of char
acter.
The writer of this has not,
heretofore, uttered sentence
upon this subject for publication,
and refers to it now for no other
purpose than to apply the les
sons which it teaches, free from
personal ceLsure or criticism,
believing that popular respect for
law Is damaged less by open vio-
lation than by mistakes in it's
enforcement; hence the maxim: ::
d" Better that ninety-nine guilty
men escape than that one inno-
cent man be punished"
The law limits the death pen
atty to murder in the first degree
and defines the crime as clearly
as language can specify an act
which can only be described by
anticipated results, as a premed-
itated, malicious, considered pur-
pose to commit murder, followed
by consummation of the crime.
Every incident must be com
plete and beyond any reasona-
ble doubt-the motive, intent,
object, premeditation and delib-
reasonable doubt upon
any one of these incidents gives
to the undoubted murder the
character and penalty Of a lesser
crime; if murderous in intent,
but without premeditatIon, then
murder in the I'd degree; if a
criminal assault without mani
fest murderous intent, resulting
in homicide, then manslaughter.
The manifest intent of the law,
which accords with the spirit of
the age, is that the penalty of
death should only be awarded
to the deliberate murderer, prov
ed to be such beyond all reasona-
BILE doubt or mitigating circum-
stances.
John Thompson, who suffered
the death penalty, was man of
about forty years of age, of Or
dinarily good habits, industrious
and thrifty, and there was no
evidence before the court that
he had ever before been under
arrest for Il violation of law. He
WAS of light, rather pale com
p.exion, with watery blue eyes:
and nervous timid manner,
which bespoke Il sensitive and
cowardly nature. IIc had taken
up claim and opened a farm on
Squak prairie and was alterna-
ting his time between labor on
his farm and following his voca-
tion as "a miner at the Renton
coal mines. Being at Renton on
Sunday, the 18th Of February
last, be went to a saloon which
was Sunday resort for the
rougher portion Of the miners,
and after drinking freely became
involved in a quarrel with mus
cular miner by the name of Ben
nett, who gave him a whipping
and afterwards appeared as the
chief prosecuting witness on his
trial. Some others of the crowd,

Territorial Legislature.

latnre convenes at Olympia on
this 1st day of October, 1877.
Among the matters demanding
their consideration we know OF
none of more pressing import
ance, relating to every interest
in society, than the adoption OF
an entirely new code and rules
of practice for our courts. No
amendments or revisions which
could be devised and adopted
during single legislative ses-
sion. would meet the require.
ment. Each successive attempt at
amendment, repeated patching
and tinkering has only made the
matter worse, until the rulings
Of the courts are the only abso-
solute measure ofpersonal rights
under the statutes. Under this
state of things the ends Of JUS
tice may be defeated under the
purest administration On Of the ju-
dicial functions, simply by the
uncertainty Of the statute rene
dies. and the differences Of con-
strcc elton Of ambiguous and con-
flicting terms. At the last Jan
uary term of the District Court
held in this city, during the first
week every civil, and nearly all
Of the criminal cases, were ruled
out of court on their pleadings,
the suits being brought by some
Of our most experienced lawyers,
and the rulings Of the court
were sustained by a reasonable
construction of the statutes, and
this difference, resulting in great
loss to suitors and expense to
the country, could not have oc-
Cured had the code been rea-
sonably definite and uniform.-
The losses, public and private,
consequent upon this uncertain
system of laws, are sufficient in
amount annually to pay com
mission for revising and printing
4 code Of laws for the Territory.
That would be hardly practical
upon the eve of forming state
government, when the whole
work would have to be gone over
again; but the same end could
be reached in a cheap and prac-
teal manner. The best code in
existence, in any state or terri
tory, having the sanction Of the
highest judicial wisdom and ex-
perience, can be adapted to our
condition by any lawyers clerk,
and passed into code OF laws
by the legislature in whole,
with short delay and at slight
expense. The very simplicity
and practicability OF this propo-
sition will be the chief objection
to its adoption by the leglsi;,-
ture.
In the matter ol appropria-
tions, we know of no measure of
greater public utility and neces-
sity to very large portion of
the Territory, than an appropri-
alton for a wagon road over the
Snoqualmie pass. No appropri-
alton could be made Of like
amount which would so greatly
promote the prosperity Of the
commonwealth lis the opening of
an overland line Of communica-
tion between the eastern and
western divisions, for transport
alton, trade and traffic, as we'll
as giving mail facilities to a sec
tion Of country ahounding in
natural wealth, now compare
lively isolated. Every county
lying east Of the Cascade mouD-
tains and every county border
ing upon Puget Sound would be
benefited by. this measure, and
the whole Territory would be
Unidentified for the outlay in the
increase ofpopulation and wealth
it would induce.
Another measure which has
been suggested, and which
meets our most hearty approval,
is to regulate the exactions OF

Two stories of suicide are in all minds
tO-day-One Of them a story of life in a
palace, the other a story of life in a ten
ement house. The actors in the two ter
rible dramas were socially as far removed
from each other as the poles. The one
was rich the other poor; the one refined
the other without culture. The one
lived in luxury with friends in abund-
ance, with wealth and with all the com
forts that wealth can provide; the other
lived in narrow quarters, upon scanty
food and with little or no comfort. One
thing only they had in common. and
that was intoieIable wretchedness, and
the wretChedness was wrought in both
cases by alcohol.
In one case it was a poor workingmap.

children and himself because his wife

who had all that wealth and social coz
nections could procure, who was account

unfairly went to her death to escape the
intolerable torture of life with husband

would be easy to write sermon; but the
lessons that the story suggest are trite

stories themselves carry their moral with

WAR NOTES.

A portion of the Russian army at Kars
will be detached to augment the forces
around Plevns.
Gen. Melikof, when summoning
Mukhtar Pasha to evaeuate Erzeroum, in.
formed him of the capture of Kars, and that
If he resisted he would be attacked by $4,000
men, with overwhelming artillery. Mukhtar
Pasha replied that he would hold ErZeroum
to the last
A Correspondent at Vienna says that
the success at Kars has greatly encouraged
the party at Russian headquarters who favor
a dashing style adopted at the commence
ment of the war. This party urges that as
the Turks have stripped Roumania of troops,
the Russians should make a dash through
Shipka and the neighboring passes as soon
as Mebemet Ali commences a movement TO
raise the siege of Plevna- The russians have
from 55, 900 20 sc, 900 men concentrated in the
neighborhOOd of Tirnova available for such
operations.
The last call of the Sultan will give
him ,795 men. He will then have 100000
men in the field. The Cars last levies will
increase his Bulgarian army to 100000 men,
and it is possible for him to put 100000 more
in the field. The war is now costing Russia
1000, 900 roubles day (abOUt $750,000l, and
the government is running on an exclusiv ely
paper currency. The prodigiOUs exertiOns OF
the car just now to put quIetus on Plevna
and Orchanie are, therefore, perfectly nat~
ural
