CHARLES GLASS DIES on THE GALtOws-A
DENSE THRoNG OF PEoPLE--A SUCCESSFUL
AND PAINLESS EXECCTIoN--A DIsAGnEEA-
BILE DUTY WELL PERFORMED
PARTICULARS.
Asearly as II o'clock, yesterday, u great
throng Of men, women and children had
gathered in front of the court house. moved
by morbid desire to satiate taste for the
horrible. At | o'clock the crowd had
swellcd until it numbered more than
thousand people, and when at quarter past
|, we entered the court house, we found the
avenue in front, and the street aloag side,
denscly packed with eager, cxpectant hui
man beings. 1t was known that the cx-
ecution would take place within high en-
closure, and that there would be neither
sight nor sound of the horrible for any
save those who held tickets of admission
to the enclosure; but still the crowd out
side continued to enlarge, until it numbered,
certainly not less than 1000 souls
About o'clock Sheriff Hodges admitted
Rev. Caldwell and two or three others TO
Glass cell to sing and pray with him and to
give him spiritual strength for the fearful
ordeal through which he was about to pass
Ten minutes afterwards the writer visited
him, and found him in his shirt sleeves
pacing to and fro about the cell. Hc

A SUGGESTION.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, THAT THE IN
SIGMA OF SORROW DE REMOVED FROM THE
EPISCOPAL CHURCH EDIFICE.
/ wonder if we could induce our Episco-
pal friends, through the columns8f the
good BULLETIN, now that the period of
mourning has long since expired, to take
down the emblems Of mourning in the
Episcopal church! True we that knew
our lamented rector best and loved him
most, feel that we never can mourn too
much for him but Notwithstanding all this,
il is not easy for strangers to appreciate our
feelings in regard to this matter. The
answer Of different persons OF late, when
importuned to attend Sunday school and
morning prayers, has invariably been sob,
it is too gloomy there, with all that mourn
ing. 1t makes me so unhappy cannot
endure it," These answers were
brought .forcibly to my mind on,
last Sunday morning, when on stepping out
of the blessed. cheerful sunshine into the
Episcopal church, with its sad and gloomy
surroundings, Il chill seemed TO strike my
heart and depress my spirits; and ceased
to wonder that Others considered this feel
ing in themselves sufficient reason for not
attending worship at their fayoritc church.
Let us remember how cheerful and At
tractive our lamented Rector always en-
dcavored 10 make his church; then as we
have draped the same in deep mourning for
over three months to show our grief over
the loss we sustained in his death, and out
Of respect for his memory, let Us now take
it down and brighten up and make the
church again attractive. thus showing that
although being dead he still liyetb, in
the examples he sci Us while living.

PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME.

HOW IT SHOULD De ADjUsTED--AN ANSWER
To "HANG.No-MAS.'
Editor BuNe;l:
."Hang-No-Man's" article in Sundays
BULLETIN seems somewha, ambiguous
1t opposes capital punishment because i,
tends to increase crime, and suggests pun
ishment in accordance with the criminals
ability to understand and comprehend his
crime"
This would be abolishing almost all pun
ishment; for under such circumstances il
would be difficult to find t criminal who
could q comprehend and understand his
crime at all
But II. n NJ does not seem
TO mean this, tor he afterwards favors the
substitution Of the cat o-nne.tals for the
gallows; and argues that it holds a greater
terror for criminals than the gallovs-ad-
hitting at the same time that terror is the
only effectual weapon against crime.
1t does not seem reasonable that lesser
punishment should hold a greater terror:
however, it would be enough TO know that
it decreased crime. But if capital punish
ment causes more crime than the cat 'o-nine-
tails, why should not the latter cause more
crime than mere Imprisonment Upon
this hypothesis We must conclude
that the milder the punishment,
the better the consequences, and
finally, no punishment, no crime at all.
Thus would II. n. Ms theory, by merely
omlting the penalty for the violation Of a
law, remove the necessity for the law and
the lawyers teach us to look upon "Biack.
stone" as we would upon an EgYtian
mummy, and lead Us into paradise where
women, snakc.deviis and apple trees were
never known.
This would, indeed, be happy nil
lenum. But believe that the time for It's
advent is yet in the distant future, Capital
punishment. like war, is a horrible ncces-

The bulls and bears returned to their horn

themselves of Sundays breathing spell to
look round and see just where they stood
and prepare for the next round in the tussle.
Although the market was active and excited,
and even feverishly 50 at times, yet the lin
its were not SO wide as they were during sew
eral days of last week. It opened one-quar-
ter to one half q cent lower than the latest
price of Saturday, advanced abouttwo cents,
and closed at an improvement of three
fourths of 9 cent. The Liverpool kilograms
quoted stronger market all around, with
an improvement in France. It was under
stood, however, that the receipts at this point
would be unusually heavy, aud it was prob
ably owing to this that the feeling was some
what easier at the opening. But the boom
was worked for all it was worth, and the
bovines who were looking after it counted
on $1.2O, when dispatch was received from
New York, which conveyed the rather
depressing information that the market
at that point was q cent lower, operators be-
ink disappointed in the tone of the Liver

sequence of this intelligence from the East,
