There is nothing abort . Dosage

Four years ago capital punishment
was abolished in Switzerland. Crime
has increased, and especially that ot
murder, to such & degree that there
has been a. great reaction in public
sentiment, and a petition, signed by
over 30,000 persons, begs the Federal
Council to re-enact the death penalty.
The Council, after full investigation,
have -resolved that four years was in
sufficient to fully test the law. They
account for the increase of crime not
so much upon the fact that the law
was changed as upon the large in
crease of poverty and wretchedness
of the last four years. Tt is a marked
fact that almost every civilized nation
of the world shows an inorease of the
crime of murder. In many countries,
notably Holland, Italy. Austria, and
Germany, where the death penalty is
in full'force, the crime of murder has
increased- in as large a ratio .as in
Switzerland. But it is even doubtful
whether in any other country there
has been so large an increase of this
fearful prime as in civilized America.
I Inter Ocean. -
The penalty for murder and mode
of punishment has little to do in the
increase or decrease of this crime, it
appears, and so we have always be
lieved. The man who deliberates up
on the deed before he takes the-life of
his fellow, calculates only to escape
deteotion without taking Into consid
eration the difference between the
penalties of death on the gallows and
a life long imprisonment at bard la
bor. The man who kills withoutpre
meditation of conreeconsiders nothing
about the penalty, and generally at
the tfme of the- perpetration of the
crime, being in a passion , cares not
what it is. Why crime is on the In
crease in the world, is a question for
the consideration of scientists, with
out much hope of a solution. Death,
either by the law or by mobs, is the
common penalty In this country for
aggravated cases of murder, yet we
find-tbe crime increasing, and it may
be possible that a great remedy might
be found if society would only take
means for protection instead of venge
aoccrSuchhangingexhibitionsastbat at Minden a few days ago and as we
daily read'of'taking place all over the
land, tend" more to the fostering of
crime than preventing it. At such pla
ces the multitude like a pack of
wolves clamor for blood, their worst
passion is raised; and 'in the name of
the law the nobler sensibilities are
blunted, and many depart from the
scene more fitted for crime than be
before they witnessed the "vindica
tion of the law."
Read Dr. Bowen's able and forcible
article on the reasons why-Dodge was
killed and Jackson aud Martin were
hung and the mitigating circumstanc
es, published elsewhere in the Press.
It is characteristic of the man who
wrote it. plain, strong and pointed.
Neb. City Press.
We have read it, and find it ex
tremely and peculiarly thin. Dr.
Bowen's effort is simply a sort of an
apologetic justification of those who
hanged two ohained negroes, and shot
to death Dodge, a convicted and im
prisoned murderer, because the law
was not administered precisely to suit
the vicious mobocrats of Nebraska
City. This is the sum and substance
of Dr. Bowen's nearly two column
article, he being requested to write a
defense of Nebraska City because
especially qualified to reflect the sen
timents and animus of the City on
account of his "age as a citizen and a
man.''
There are occasionally casesof lynch
law which have some justifying con
ditions and circumstances surround
ing them, but those Nebraska City
case? had none. The deliberate
slaughter of a miserable wretch,
chained in bMs- dungeon, cannot be
justified in any proper sense.- Neith
er can the harrgitrg'of the two black
men, in handcuffs' anil-'gyves about to
be oonducted to the penitentiary for
life. Olive is denounced as a murder
er of the most barbarous sort, and bis
blood, his life, was clamored for, be
cause he, like the fine haired people
of Nebraska City, lynched two men
to death, the difference in the oases
being in favor of Olive, who, being
exasperated ana? maddened at the
men who bad slain his brother, felt
justified in leading a mob for revenge.
Nebraska City bad no such, or equal,
inciting motive to kill those negroes.
The honab of the City" demanded
goah, and that was all. Now if the
Olive mob, with the strong incentive
of a brother's love moving it to ven
geance, should hare meted out to it
the direst penalties of the law, what
should be the punishment, of the Ne
braska City mob who hanged two ne
groes to a tree just for the fun of the
thing? How is it possible that Olive
can be more guilty than the man who
led the Nebraska City mob ? The an
swers to these conumdrums are not
on-hand yet-
There Is confusion in Dr. Goodwin's
(Congregational) church-, Chicago.
Mr. Henry L. Turner, a prominent
member of that church for fifteen
years and a teacher in the Sabbath
school, having had a change of- mind
regarding eternal punishment, and
refusing to indorse that tenet, so an
nounced lo his pastor; who thereup
on requested him to give up his chair
In the Sabbath school. He refuses,
hence the trouble. He can be and
will be ejected for bis infidelity. No
difference bow good and upright a
man may be, if he does not believe In
a- place of eternal torment for his
neighbor, hs must "eo." During a
conversation with a reporter, Mr.
Turner made the- following sensible
remark :
"The Prudential Committee in a
statement to the oburch, sald'thafr the
reason tbey felt! should not continue
as a teacher in the school was that the
knowledge of my holding this belief
rendered my influenoe harmful, and,
to a certain extent, dangerous. In
that, as I remember it, It wouldTead
the young to put off the time for ro
psntauoo
That did not seem to ma
like an objection of any weight at all.
For I- think that the allegation that
future punishment will be endless is
the least worthy and powerful of all
motives that can be placed before a
man to lead him to repent; and, in
stead of being dangerous, it seems to
me my view eliminates from the or
dinary representation of the character
of God, certain features, of unforgiv
ing inflexibility and harshness, not
to say injustice, wbieb'tend to drive
men into atheism and infidelity.
The Death of Gen. Alfred Sully.
Gen. Alfred Sully, U. S. A., died at
Vancouver's Ibland an Sunday. Gen.
Sully was Colonel of the21atiufautry,
and was a eon of the eminent Phila
delphia artist, Thomas Sully. He
graduated at West Point, and served
in the regular army iu theFloridaand
Mexican wars. He was appointed
Colonel of the First Miunesota Vol
unteers and served in all McClelian's
battles. He also distinguished him
self in fighting the Indians in Min
nesota in 1863. He was breveted Lieu
tenant Colonel on March 3, 1865. In
1865 he was placed in command of the
military distriot of Upper Missouri.
The above notice of the death of
Sully is taken from the N. Y. Sun.
He was one of the many officers who
served on this frontier at the time of
its early settlement, and with the ex
ception of his service in the Union
army, spent most of his military life
with our people by whom he was
widely known and o3teemed and by
whom his deach will be widely re
gretted. He waa a true man and a
gallant soldier. Omaha Herald.
Gen. Sully willbe remembered, and
his death regretted, by Boldiers of the
Second Nebraska Cavalry who served
under him during the memorable
campaign of 1863 against the Sioux
Indians in Dakota, especially thoee
who pnrtioipated in the Battle of
White Stone Hill on the3d of Septem
ber of that year. Two companies of
that regiment were from Nemaha
county.
This is what a level-headed, straight
forward Democratic paper has to say
about Tilden. It is the Lewiaton (HI.)
Democrat that speaks:
'This office is in regular reoeipt of
the Albany Argus, Mr. Tildeu'd per
sonal organ. It comes to us weekly,
with all its Tilden articles careiuJly
marked. We infer that Democratic
papers generally are similarly favor
ed. This is the old plan. In the spring
of 1876, Mr. Tilden inaugurated this
identical scheme; he even did more
than that employed a regular adver
tising agency to procure the insertion
of Tilden editorials in Democratic
papers at so much a line. The offer
named came to this office of $10
for printing five certain short editori
als in Mr. Tilden's interest. The iden
tical editorials appeared in many pa
pers, but not in the Democrat. We
doubt if any other presidential aspir
ant in America ever resorted to such
contemptible means to secure a nom
ination. It would be degrading for a
candidate even for a pitiful county
office. But it was in keening with Mr.
Tilden's management of the campaign
throughout. With full knowledge of
the faots stated, it Is not very singular
that we more than surmise that Mr.
Tilden was not ignorat of the Oregon
raecality and the infamous cipher
dispatches. We do not deny that Mr.
Tilden was defrauded of the office to
which he was elected. His own in
excusable cowardice make this pos
sible. This sickening cowardice, the
grovelling methods of his campaign,
and hia evident complicity in the at
tempted frauds proved against Pelton
& Co., render it impossible for honor
able men to join in the scheme to
boom Tilden to the front iu 1SS0."
The Memphis (Tenn.) Herald, in
reply to the critics of the Okolona
Slates, charging the editor with being
a caFpet-bagger from Ohio, says:
"The editor Colonel Harper, was a
Colonel in the Confederate army, and
ever sinoe the war ended be has been
a practicing attorney in Mississippi.
He was a soldier who never skulked
during the war, and he is known to
be as brave as he is talented, as people
in North Mississippi can testify. If
any man who fought through the war
for the Southern Confederacy is enti
tled to his opinions, as well on ac
count of his ability to express aB of
bis willingness to defend them, that
man would seem to be Colonel Har
per. The Pennsylvania legislaturestands
by the President. On the 30th ult. the
following resolution was passed,. by a
strict party vote:
Resolved:, That if the house concur,

gives hearty endorsement to the pres
ident's veto of the revolutionary

ation bill, and hereby instructs the
senators and requests the members
representing Pennsylvania- to-sustain
the course of President Hayes tfpon
this measure, and any other calculated
to assail the constitutional preroga

a national election.
Although Nebraska City has in a
number of cases taken the law into
its own hands, hanging people by
mob violence, shooting- them when
hand cuffed in prison oells-, etc., yet
we never heard Nebraska City's vir
tues outside that city lauded above
those of its neighbors, where-people
are content to- let the- law take its
course.

road of escape from surrender, and it
completes the consolidation- of the
united and confident Republican par

Will we get it? Tne extension of

Railroad. J. Gould's friendly baud.
Nebraska City should make an ef
fort to secure the western terminus of
the Quincy, Missouri & Pacific Rail
road. A delegation from Brownville
visited Quincy a short time ago for
this purpose, and were very kindly
received. The road is surely coming
west, and that, too, at no distant day.
Where will it cross the Missouri river?
That is the question that vitally in
terests Nebraska City. Thi3 road will
be a very important link in the great
railroad chain from ocean to ocean.
That the road Is soon to be finished is
evident from the following :
Special dispatch to the Nebraka Press.
Quincy, III., April 29. The Pres
ident, Vice-President and Treasurer
of the Quincy, Missouri and Pacific
Railroad have gone to New York on
telegrams received, asking their pres
ence there, it is currently reported
that they are called in connection
with the movements of Jay Gould in
railroad matters. The latter, it i3 said,
desiring to make arrangements with
that road and assist It in its extension
to the Missouri riverfor the purpose
of securing a connection with the
Union Pacifio at or near Omaha,
thereby giving the Iowa pool lines
another black eye. The Quincy, Mis

The Okolona Southern Stales thus
marks out in its fullness the pro
gramme of the reactionists:
The popular tide is turning, and
hereafter the Democratic Jefferson
Ian Democratic party will rule the
republic. The histories will be writ
ten, the monuments will be built, and
the country will be impressed and
educated by the States-Rights school
of peoples and we must see to it that
Lincoln and nis demagogue Cabinet
and his hireling military chiefs shall
no longer oooupy the places of honor
to which they have been assigned by
their fellow traitors.
The next thing to reach for is a fair,
square Southern representations the
United States army. We want to see
a man like Jo Johnston in command
of the soldiers and forts of this conn
try. We join the Charleston (S. C.)
News iu remarking that "we must
have all our rights or none. "A ""half

The Memphis Avalanche does not
agree with the Louisville .Courier
Journal as to the cause of the negro
exodus. The Avalanche say sthe in-
cendiary teachings- of the Bourbon
press and politicians have furnished
the material now feeding the emi
grant movement, as they taught only
bitterness, and marked for social pre
scription all who refused to submit
without question to their partisan
guidance. As to persecution and its
effect, the Avalanche says :
The lawless classes were but too
ready to begin the dastardly "work of
persecution. They found it a certain
means of suppressing the ballot.
They inaugurated reigns of terror,
shot and killed where shooting and
killing became necessary, and so
preyed on the fears of the unprotect
ed blacks as to practically disfranchise
them in every locality where the bull
dozing programme was adopted. And
the Bourbon presses and publications
instead of demanding protection for
all classes under the laws, pronounc
ed all charges falsehoods, and at least
Indirectly encouraged the dastards to
further deeds of violence. This is the
truth and the truth should be told.
The Democrats of the House and
Senate declared, during the debate on
the army appropriation bill that the
Republicans should have nothing to

billB ; that theDemooraoy Intended to

and every amendment, good, bad or
Indifferent offered' by Republicans
was voted dbwn even to Senator
Paddock's amendment providing for
the use of U. S. soldiers to protect the
frontier from Indian depredations.
But they have learned that a Repub
lican President can put a sudden stop
to their wicked schemes against the
country and administersuch a rebuke
to them as to cause them tognash their
teeth in shame and rage. Like all cow
ards and braggarts in a bad cause, they
back down easily but squarely when

devote the proceeds of bis new lec
ture, "The Problem of the Exodus,"
to paying the way of colored people
who deeire to settle on Butler's Wis

that the negroe's will prosper as well
iu Wisconsin as in Kansas, and cites
the prosperity of slaves who escaped
to Canada as proof. His plan Is-to di
vide the Wisconsin lands into small
farms, accommodating in this way
some four or five hundred families.
Inter Ocean : The business outlook
from various sections is cheering.
The great Northwest Is alive with
business. Farmers are full of en
couragement, and a greater aoreage
than ever before will be harvested the
coming year. Real estate, the last
thing that yielded to the financial
pressure, is giving evidenceof revival
everywhere. In Chicago bargains no
longer go a begging. BasiteBS prop
erty, in good'locations especially, is
much sought after. A revival is also
reported in the East.
The Hastings Journal having occas
ion to refer to the mob law system of
Nebraska City very well says:
They can hang helpless chained
negroes there without official notice
being taken- of it. They can shoot a
man- under sentence of death, and
whilechained to'his-bed, and not fear
the law down there. Western Ne
braska would' shudder at the record
that Nebraska City has- for murder.

The Meraphia Avalanche, speaking
for the South, wants to trade off a
few thousand Southern politicians for
as many New England cotten spin
ners. No trade.
Queen Victoria Is a fine singer,

ing to etiquette, none but her own
family are permitted to hear her.
The Illinois State Senate last week,

A.German dealer announces that
he has received 32,000 dead hum
ming birds, 60,000 dead aquatic birds

The London correspondent of a
Scotch paper states there Is a proba

It is a little strange that no particu
lar person or company of persons has

inator of the present negro exodus
