Journal

is opposed to the enact

ment of the Sunday liquor ordinance. Is ,"it also opposed to the enforcement of the State law, which, we believe, is ^identical with that proposed by the city ordinance? The State law, however, is not enforced, and we have no doubt, un'der the existing state of affairs, but that a Mcity ordinance, if enacted, would be treat,ed in the same manner.

WE UNDERSTAND that the Rev. Geo. Morrison has received In letter from actling Bishop O'Connor (of the diocese of

Vineennes), declining the challenge to a public discussion. We have authority for stating that the letter of Mr. Morrison J" and the answer of Bishop O'Connor will be made public as soon as Mr. Morrison shall have leisure to give attention to the matter.

DOES

Terre Haute provide for her

poor?—JVeir

Albany Ledger.

Yes, Terre Haute has the most efficient organization for the relief of the poor that can be found in any city in Indiana, and all worthy applicants for assistance are -jfj promptly relieved. The Ladies' Aid Society has a permanent fund of nearly one ««i hundred thousand dollars—the gift, of a" generous citizen—the interest of which is applied to the assistance of the deserving

A, poor persons. In nddition to this the Society has other means sufficient to en"^able it to fulfill its whole duty. The New "Albany soup house is a good thing, but such an establishment is not needed here.

-''A. THE SIGN OF THE RED RIBBON.—A ". X'.^custom prevails in some of the eastern cities which a lady reader suggests might v*** be adopted here with convenience. It is '-^simply this: To tie a bit -of red ribpon g^ ilon New Year's day on the front gate of ^all houses the ladies of which are receiv- $£:, ing, so that those out on a round of visits can tell by glancing at the gate whether the inmates are receiving or not._ If the red ribbon is on the gate^ go in if not, go on and don't stop to ring and inquire.

It is astonishing how much unnecessary walking can be saved by the universal observance of gome signal by which a fact mav be known. This thing of ringing ana ringing at a door, which is finally opened and you are told "the ladies are not receiving," is not as pleasant as findingjout the same information by merely peeing thftt there is no red ribbon on the gate. Tender-hearted ladies, who "pity the sorrows of poor young men whose trembling limbs have borne them to their doors," will put out the red ribbon, if at home, on New Years, and omit it if they

do not wish to receive the compliments of V«A N«(»R«ON

Capital Punishment.

EDITOR EXPRESS: It must be a matter of congratulation on the part of our people, who have doubtless been in a manner advised by the prominent journals of the country thrbugh efficient correspondents, as well as our home papers, of the incidents attending the recent execution of Oliver A. Morgan, to finally have, through the communication of "P" your issue of the'28tli inst., a full, explicit and authentic description of the incidents connected therewith.

He evidently speaks by the card, and knows whereof he speaks, and from the style of his production we can safely claim for one in our midst, who as an adept and expcct

par-cxceUence

is most capable

toucl) up, amplify, embellish and other wise rpnder attractive ..and interesting to the world so

small

and

insignificant

event. Indeed from the broken crumbs of the delectable feast a savory morsel is provided by him suited to the most fastidious taste. And favored, thrice favored Sheriff Stewart,—honored as you may have been, in the past by the suffrages of the people of your county, to the office you now so well fill, and of the choice of the city of your birth to'her highest office, yet if never before the commendation Jof our inevitable "P" for a proper discharge of an official duty performed, was extended and may never again be extended to you except another execution turns up, yet know ye favored one, for "that gallow good and strongly built" and that exquk ite "fall or trap so perfect" for these things, "thou good and faithful seivant: praises will be sung by "P" in P—P— Pcans, until you know your Ps and Qs no more.

But-Mr. Editor 1 forbear further notice of "P" in this manner, and should not so far-treated his communication, but that his long rehash of the incidents attending this tragedy enacted in our streets, after being thrown broadcast by three of our own home papers, seemed to be again dished up as a prelude to an attack on any and all who have consciencious scru pies against the death penalty an attack supercillious, dogmatic and contemptu ous, and especially so when as he admits that "the commnnity are

largely divided

this question of capital punishment." There you are correct brother "P," yet. in your next paragraph you stigmatize a large proportion of the community with perhaps equal intelligence with yourself, your peers in everything* but egotism, as "disregarding both the lav/ of God and the State." And how the State? You say by "clamoring for the repeal of the law." And arrogant as you appear, dare you deny to a large number of your fel low-citizens the right to characterize the cool, deliberate putting to death, a fellow being,created in the image of God, "bruta^ and a relic ofbarbarism," and thus believing, may they not most, august brother "P.," humbly ask tin repeal of the law authorizing the same?

But further brother "P." would infer that the dust has largely accumulated on the Bibles of those "who feel and speak thus ". Mucli be'.'.er theije, brother "P,'' than in the menial yid^iupral ejes gf^he reader.

He undertakes to prove these "modern ideas of civilization" contrary to the law of God, and the spirit of the christian scriptures.

First he quotes from the old Mosiac law: for nearly two thousand years abrogated and annulled. Does "P." cite us to the laws of MoscS as to something we are to imitate? Evidently so, as he speaks of them as righteous, humane, just and equitable. They are interestingto us as history but are we bound by them? And here brother "P."{thinking he has the whole question in a nut-sliell, quotes with evident gusto from Numbers 35: 30, 31, 32,33, and proves what no one denies that the laws of Moses for almost every conceivable offense, had the death penalty attached and scarcely any o'.her punishment there is. recognized. Does, "P" demand the rcenactment of these laws so

"humane, just and equitable."

If we are to

follow Moses as a legislator in the spirit of one law, why not in another? Here is another law from the Pentateuch, Number 15: chap, verse 32.

"The children of Israel found a man that gathered sticks on the Sabbath Day, arid they that found him broijght him before Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. "And the Lord said unto Moses, the man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones, without the camp. "And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died."

Ah! Bro. "P." what glorious things you miss by living in these "modern times." How unfortunate for you. Our worthy Sheriff could not then have had all the honor of putting this man to death, cramped up in tic narrow limits of a public street, but outside the limits of the camp, on the dress parade ground, with plenty of elbow-room, and you loo with zeal inspired, and prompted by the desire to vindicate this "humane" law of Moses.—you, Bro. 'IP." might, first of the congregation, have "thrown the first stone."

But, seriously, Bro. "P." is that a law we arc prepared to adopt in this country? If a man on the Sabbath slips' out from his cabin, into the adjoining forest to gather sticks to boil the pot that contains his dinner, are his neighbors to gather, toget'her and stone him to de»th?

We will again refer Bro. "P." to Deut. 21st cliapt. 18, 10, 20, 21, for other authority for the death penalty derived from the "just and humane law of Moses," as he failed to make his points as strong as he might, had he read his Bible more. 18. "If a man have a stubborn and rebellious s6n, which will not obey, &c. 19. "Then shall hi* father and mother lay hold'on him and bring him out unto the elders," 20. "And they shall say unto the elders this, our son. is stubborn atid rebellious, he will not obev our voice he is a glutton and a drunkard." 21. "And all the men of the citv shall stone him with stones so that he die."

By all means, Bro. P., restore this humane law of Moses. What a splendid opportunity you could have in storing to death the rebellious, stubborn, drinking, gluttonous boys of your neighbors.

No, no, Bro. P., let us thank God that we live in these "modern times," in times when the whole tenor of Christian morality, the very esscncc of tlJte change it made on previous systems, is the substitution of the law of kindness for the law of vindictive hate. It is founded on Charity and Love. Love is the fulfilling of the law. No man who walks through the world with his eyes open, and his heart awake, but must distinguish the radical

change which this mild and Christian apirlt ls working throuehout the civilized world. It shows it in the gradual reform of law it is evinced in the ton? of our literature. Yet there is much in the spirit of the Christian system, thongh it was promulgated nearly two thousand years ago, that is greatly in advance of he practical onions of the day. In theory we admit- -a.'- System which substitutes kindness" and forgiveness and mild persuasion, for harshness, revenge and animal force but in the law in question we utterly deny it. Our law in this, asinjnany other tilings, lags far.behindthe. essential spirit of Christianity. ihfji a#.

MB. EDITOR:—In

LRM*

jour paper of the 28th,

in his article on the execution of Morgan seeking to deal the opponents to capital punishment a blow says: "Verily, I thought all our criminal laws were founded upon the righteous, humane and just requirements of God's laws," thereby referring to the law according to Moses, In this position

is radically wrong.

Any legislative body who in this enlightened age would re-enact the criminal code of Moses would subject themselves to the just execration of the whole civilized world. As for instance, according to Leviticus24th, 13th, 14th and 16th: "And the Lord spake unto Moses saying, bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp and let all them that heard him lay their hands upon his head and let all the congregation stone him, as well the stranger as he that is born in the land when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord he put to death."

Again in the 13th chapter of Deuteronomy commencing at the 6th verse: "If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend which is as thy soul, entice thee secretly, saying let us go and, and see other Gods which thou hast not known, thou nor thy fathers, namely the gods of the people round about you, nigh unto thee or far off from thee from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth. Thou.shalt not counsefunto him nor ,pity £iaa, neither.shaJtiAou spare neither shalt tbou counsel him but thou shalt surely kill him. Thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand3 of all the people."

Of the effects of the spirit of the latter law,, the world has seen enough religious zealots taking the same view of the law of Moses as P., have deluged the world withblood, and have perpetrated in tlie name of God the most terrible and monstrous cruelties.

Perhaps P. approves of the mode of disposing of captives taken in war by the Israelite and under the direction of Moses. Take the instance given in Numbers, 31st chapter, where there was an indiscriminate slaughter of innocents, and thirtytwo thousand females turned over to the lust of their captors and their priests. The horrors of Andersonville are sweet te contemplate in comparrisou to this. P. does not seem to understand that the human race progresses.

Criminal as well as all other law is fotirfded upon human experience, and its object is the protection of life, liberty, and enjoyment of property. Whatever means are necessary to this end, the law making power have the right to take, and if P. can show that capital punishment is one of the

necessary

means, then it is

right, however repugnant it may be. Should he fail to show this, and by human experience, too, then capital punishment is wrong and truly barbarous.

But let him show some better authority' than

A Card.

Being present and on the scaffold at the time of the execution of Morgan, I was much pained and astonished to hear him in his last words, charge my brother-in-law, whom he had cruelly murdered, with crimes, such as, thief, robber, &c., &c. In the excitement of the moment I simply remarked, "that is false," without using any such profane language Sis -was attrib uted to me by some one of the reporters.

By request of Mr. May we cheerfully add to his card, that we were standing very near him, so near as to be able to put our hands on him, and we heard ne sucli language, as was attributed to him in the papers. S.H.POTTER,
