NEW ENGINE-HOUSE.


The handsomest engfne-house in this country
is just being completed, On Maxwell. near Canal
street. It is designed. for Company No. 6, OF
which James O'Brien is Captain. Mr.. O'Brien

then. McAu!cy had just returned from Boston,
where an enEinc got 70 fire and made quar-
ter Of mile in five minutes. On his Way home,
Aid. McAuley happened to be passing the cor
ncr OF Wabash avenue and Jackson street when
Box 53 was turned in. This was at the time OF
the riot. No. 10 was located on Pacific avcuue,
mile iu two minutes. McAulcy confessed his
surprise to Chief Benner. Engine No. s,
with O'Brien as Captain. 1t will be
remembered, made the best time in the Chicago
Fire Department, as evidenced by the last test.
Tie httching time from tbs stalls was eleven
seconds. Three men at the pole did it in seven
seconds. Out Of bed, they managed it in TWEEN
ty-sevcn seconds. No. & eugine and cart arc

The building is two,storCy and basement one,

no the way to get down. The
woodwork is in ash and oak.
An elevator takes the man On watch up to and

EXECUTED.

Cook, who murdered Craig in The
DaIles Jail, was hanged according to
sentence ofthe court, on Friday, the 9Th
inst. The following details Of the exc
cutiou are published: "At fifteen min
utes past one o'clock the moose was ad-
justed on his neck, Cook moving his
head forward to assist the sheriff. He
looked up at the sky with a calm smile,
aud then the sheriff drew the black cap
over his face, while he stood like a
statue. At seventeen minutes past one
the trap was sprung and.Cook fell three
feet, dying without a struggle. His
neck was not broken, but the vertebra
was dislOcated. IN Il minutes the pulse
ceased to beat, and in % minutes the at
tending physicians, Morrison, Logan
and Richardson, pronounced life ex-
tinet. HIS body was then cut down and
given to his friends. Quite number Of
spectators, including a dozen women,
witnessed the appalling spectacle. Good
order was maintained during the exeeu-
ton. Cook died as he lived, an enigma,
and his real name will never be known"
He was baptized on Tuesday by the Cath
Ollie priest vino attended him to the
scaffold

THE BEST ELEMENT. :"

The Bee is mistaken when it says:
'The NEW NORTHWEST deprecates the
laws vengeance ia the case Of the muir
derers, johnson aud Brown" We
stated distinctly that We made 10 spec
ialty Of these cases, but deplored the
vengeance Of law that, grounded in a
spirit Of retaliation, commits with cool
deliberation and cunningly devised ap-
pliances Of destruction, the very act
which Of all others is the most censura-
bic in individuals. 1t is, TO say the
least, sad commentary upon the hu-
manity Of the 'best element ia the COM
munity" to assert that it is clamorous
for blood, impatient at the delay which
executive clemency has granted in this
case, and is only consOled and enabled to
eurb its impatience by visiting daily
and eagerly inspecting the gallows be-
ing erected in the jail-yard. We feel
that we can well afford 10 be read out Of
the "best element" when judged by
this standard, and by such judges. Ac-
cOrding TO advices TO the Bee, large
number Of this same "best element"
witnessed the late execution at The
Dalles, the statute providing that ''en-
tertainmentsn of this character shall be
strictly private, to the contrary not
"l'hslanding. And further, We are
even assured that among these favored
representatives Of the "best elementn
were about dozen women. Itis hoped
'n's oit oi news will prove a crumb Of
comfort TO those " 10 have so bewailed

PLAIN FACTS.

The argument advanced by the ore
g0nida and other journals that criticised
our comments upon capital punishment
last week, touch not a point that we
made. We said nothing about ''turn-
ing criminals loose upon society" but,
on the contrary, urged that expiatioD
for crime be demanded and lifetime
given IN which to perform il. What if
IN times past criminals have been par
doned out Of the peniteutiary Is il
impossible to take away the pardoning
power Of the executive aud have firm
ness in the administration Of the law ?
The deterrent force Of capital punish
ment is assumed by its advocates, but
facts will not bear them out in the as
sumption. The passions Of revenge and
hatred which an execution gratilies fos-
ters criminal intent and increases the
amount of crime The restraining force
OF penalty depends, not on its severity,
I but its certainty. Therefore punish
ments should be graded in severity ac-
cording to the oflense, always humane
and always rigidly enforced. One man
should not have the power to override
the judgment Of twelve, either from the
effect of present pressure or the soften
ing influence of time, but let just and
humane penalties result from broken
laws and let them be peTsistently en-
I forced. As to the men now under SEN
tence Of death in this city, they are
simply men, fellow-creatures, entitled
TO no more sympathy than others would
be under like circumstances, but with
all their heinous crimes, entitled to the
life which God has given them, until
He takes it away. Liberty should be
forfeited by crime; life, never. Nothing
can be right in the law that is wrong
in the Individual. This is a proposition
that cannot be controverted, and those
who favor legal murder talk all around
but do not touch it.

THE NEW PENSION ACT.

Something that looks more like "pro-
lection" than women are wont to re-
ceive at the suggestion of legislative
bodies comes to us under frank OF Hon.
Richard Williams, member of the
House Of Representatives from Oregon,
entitled: "a bill to repeal section forty
seven hundred and eight of the revised
statutes, and giving pensions TO widows
OF soldiers who are remarked, or may
remarry." The bill was introduced by
Cutler, Of New Jersey. We print the
text of the bill, that women may see
that some men at least understand that
marriage and support are not always
terms synonymous
WHEREAS, The several pension acts provid-
ing that pensions granted 10 widows, depend
ent mothers, and sisters shall cease upon their
remarriage, are contrary 10 public policy;
therefore,
BE it enacted by the senate and House Of
Representative Of the United States in Con-
gress assembled, That section forty seven
hundred and eight Of the revised statutes he,
and the same is hereby, repealed, and shall
read as follows: That all pensions now paid 10
widows, dependent mothers, or dependent Sis
ters shall continue 90 be paid upon their re-
marriage; and any widow, dependent mother
or sister Of deceased soldier entitled TO a pen
sion IL unmarried shall be entitled 10 the same
whether they are remarked or not. And all
laws or pats OF laws inconsistent with this law
are hereby repealed.

A ! etition setting forth the following
facts has been presented to Congress:
It is a matter Of common notoriety that
MormOns are contracting unlawful mar
riages the same as ever. John w.
Young has married his fifth wife, James
Welch a second wife, aud John White a
third wife since the decision. The Des-
eret Ne,Cs, the Mormon Church organ,
declares that the decision Of the supreme
court was rendered under popular press
ure by the feeble witted, cloudy-minded
judges, and in ward meeting-houses vi
olent diatribes are uttered against the
judges and judgment of the court.
Therefore we respectfully ask Congress,
during the present session, to so amend
the act Of 1862 that it may become oper-
ative by making general reputation of
the conjugal relation proof of marriage.
