The Louden Luncct joins ttiose who me discontented with the results of cap ital punishment. Punishment for crime has M its chief nim its prevention ; and the Lancet is struck by the fact that notwithstanding the Bteadiuess with which the law has imposed death us n penalty for murder, murders net only will net cease, but, in fact, continite te in crease in number. I thnscome te the con clusion that the "chaucoef being hang ed te death never deterred an Intendlrg murderer, or a villainous person se ex cited ns te be en the eve of becoming a mardcrcr from, the comrajssien of a crime;" That is going somewhat farther than we would go, hut net a great deal. It is, however, going father than it is nec essary te no in the argument against death, ns a preventive of murder. "We may concede tliat there are many persons who would commit murder if they did uet fear being hanged for it ; but we must cencede hIse that there are many per sons who de commit muuler who would be mero likely te be deterred from it by a punishment of physical pain than by the sudden release from nil physical painB and ills that is offered them at the hangman's noeso. There are people of all degrees of sensl tiveness te fear nt the prospect of death. Te some It appears a weak punishment, while te ethers It is the severest. Cer tainly we cannot contemplate the calm demeanor of the many hardened crimi nals who die en the gallows without a doubtef theefllcacy of the punishment which tliey meet se nonchalantly. The Lancet says that a llfe imprison ment, with a dozen strokes of the cat ad ministered every month or quarter, would be far mere herrible in contem plation te the deliberate murderer than death en the gallows ; nnd we bellove it te be right as te the clasi of men who are disposed te make of murder a trade. That class of men, while small compara tively, is the one which the law should be specially directed against. It 13 only the deliberate murderer who can be ex pected te be deterred from killing by the thought of its punishment ; for he who kills in the heat of passion or the excitement of fear, or because of any uncontrolled emotion, is net in condi tion te Le deterred by the contem plation et any consequence of his act. Of course, such killing is net strictly murder, whose essense is in its deliber atien. Hut our courts have come te such nn unnatural construction of what constitutes sulllclent deliberateness in murder, that it in fact generally hap pens that the men who are hung for murder were net really nt the time of their crime in that condition of mind nnd body, which made their act one of calm delibeiateness. They are mere or less under the lulhience or effect of stimulants or of disease. Te such, a periodical administration of the lash through their lives in prison, would be a punishment mere cruel than death. Imprisonment is a sulllcient atonement for their unruly passieus. But for these who deliberately plot mur der, we can have no compassion. What they Bheuld get is just what would tend best te thtir extinction, whether it be the lash, the rack or the noose. An Oniclal Outrage. Peter Witwer, of New Haven, has been reappointed tax collector of this township, at 443. Lxtitz Epren. lie has been, has he ? He was uet the lowest bidder. The attention of the county commissioners was called te this fact long age. The lowest two bids for the collection of the tax in Warwick were Jeremiah Achey, $13 ; Peter Wit wer, $18. The township school direct ors 0 whom Witiccr is one and two of the Lltltz beard, nevertheless, petitioned the commissioners te award the tax cel lectien te Witwer. They gave no reason for preferring the highest bidder. Their leasen was that Achev was a Democrat and his competitor a Republican. In a similar case in Leacock township, Cem mlsslener Summy and Myers awarded the collection te the highest bidder; they prostituted their elllces in betli cases te serve a spirit of narrow minded, miserable, partisan greed. Mr. Myers is a candidate for reelection. He should receive no consideration whatever. A mun who is capable of doing what he has done in these two cases is capable of doing worse, aud la net lit for public position. ' Miss Iir.ANCHEftKvi.v having com pleted her statue of Peter Muhlenberg, preacher, soldier aud senator, te be placed by Pennsylvania in the gallery of the federal capitol, it is te be IieikhI the final deposit of our state's two centribu tiens te tliis hall will be marked by some mere formal ceremony than the unpack ing of the boxes which contained them. Mr. Heward Roberts' statue et Pulton, which has been much ndmlrcd for its nr tiatifi merit, was put into its place without a sign. If tills was because it wjw desir able te wait until both of the works were ready for piesentatien, it was probably best ; but we trust the occasion new at luuirt will be Improved by some one of Pennsylvania's representatives in the Senate or Heuso te explain te the country the slgiilflcance of Muhlenberg nnd Fulton in the view of Pennsylva nia's relations with the revolutionary history of the country. Whatever may be a lid or done in this rnutter-er neglected nt WnshlngteD.it is a subject for just lecnl prlde thnt Lancaster county furnished the subject for ene of these atatue3 and the sculptress of the ether.

She struck at 10 o'clock Thursday ulght en Sambro, Seuth west ledges, about three miles from the train laud aud 200 ynnls from the light house, during a very deuse fe and heavy rain. Several paw ngets were the ilrst te be .avrd, gelling te the lightheiiHO during the uight. At daylight en Friday a flat flat beat, manned by a lishertuan, went oil aud ii'scued the captain and a small boy from the nggie.-, In which were nine men, the m1e suiviveis the crew aud all ether pissengers, te the total of 124, being lest.

It is tmpssible that the survivors will reach the mainland until today, owing te the exception ally heavy sea that raes in the vicinity of the island Nothing lU'tlaite can, therefore, l le trued rt-gardiug the particular, ui ti.' eilamity. The government steamer Nw field left Halifax b riday aitorueou a: 0 o'clock for the t-ceue of the disaster. The leg was se thick, however, that no attempt was made te ruaeh the fatal spot, the captain deemttu it unsafe te launch a urf beat en account of the heaviness of the Si-a. The New Held will make aqp'.bcr effort t) get near the pi.ioe where the ill fated vessel was lest. Three steam tugs also attempted te make their way te the wrecked steamer, but were lerced te turn back, being uuable te get beyond Herring Cove, ten miles from the sunken ship. The schooner Thistle will leave the city Saturday morning, with a diving crew, when an effort will be made te rec iver the bodies the victims and whatever portion et the cargo can be saved. Variuui rumors are current iu refereuce as te where the v.'-stil struck, the most plausi bio theory b-iijg that she weut down en the W'bite Heri-e shoals, within a short d rttnnee from sambre islauds. The roughness of t'ie sea will certainly calico breaking tin of the vessel bafote maej hours. The captain of the Stum cnuu, being unacquainted with the dan gerous coast around Sambro, was proba bly unaware of the peril he was iu uiltil it was tee late te uveid the disaster. 11AU1.NU ruiicT riKKS. rar.nlleute lJpttrejru anil ruinllle, llemr- Im la .Nertti Careilnu.

Four days later Wluohester was again In I he possession of the Union troops, the robots had beeu soul " whirling up the valley" and Sherldau had himself thanked the tduukv Quaker k'trl whnnn loyalty had uiade posslble a victory that virtually breke the backbone of robel reslstance In that ferti 0 va or. se teni? the storehouse of Southern supplies. Mr. Grclst thus tells the story of her subsequent recognition : Sheridan did net forget his fair bene factress iu the distressing times that fel lewrd. The hungry rebel hordes had pu'tty well depleted the resources of man Hiid soil in the lmnu'diate vieiuitv of Winchester nud far up nud dewu the beautiful plke that for many a year pi ler te the ai had maintained its pre eminence among America's meit tuagtilll cent highwajs, jullage and devastation had followed in the tracks of Confederate aud Union troops alike. Iudeed, I was te'd by tbe old gentleman who is the local historian of the town and the oeuutry thereabouts, that the contending ferces marched iu aud out of Winchester thitty seven different times during the four years they ravaged and despoiled the fair valley, beueath whose new gradually rejuvenating soil 5,000 of them sleep their last sleep. It Is uet difficult, therefore, te imngiue the privations that the peer ieople of that country endured. And Raohel Wright utid her daughter Rebecca seen feuud that their subsistence must depeud upon the gratitude of the general te whom they had rendered such signal service. As seen as Shendau learned of their circumstance he issued orders for thelr immediate roltef, ene of which, still preserved ameug the papers of Majer Grlest, of this city, who was thou issuing commissary ou Sheridan's stall, is as fellows : Cai'TM.n Guiest : G.ve Miss Wright nil the fresh beef she needs.

Tbe fact of this presentation became kuewn aud the causes that led te it seen leaked out. As a result Miss Wright nnd her mother wero socially estracised by the peeple of Winchester ; their beardiug heuse was tabooed, their means of liveli heed disappeared and they were reduced te even greater distress than during the war. About this time air. Hubert J. Housten, of this eity, heard of Miss Wright's story through Mr. James Van Ormer,a Winchester merchant, whoe wife was a Lancaster" county woman. Tbe account of Miss Wright's heroism duriug the war aud the condition she was new reduced te by reassn of her .duvotieu te the uuien in IStW actuated Mr. Housten te endeavor te lay her case befere Thad deus Stevens In Washington. The old commoner however, was even thou ou his death bed aud Mr. Housten liually ap proached Senater Simeu Cameren, stated te him Miss Wright's case aud suggested that he should secure her a pousien. In reply Senater Camereu said te Mr. Housten t " Ne, I don't think I could get her a pcusi iu aud auyhew I am op posed te grautlng pensions te civilians. There wero numberless loyal Southern peeple who gave us information during the war. Eveu when I was secretary of war hundreds of these Southern unionists sent us intelligence of great value ; they did it every day ; their claims for a pension would be equally streug with that of Miss Wright. " But thore ought te be something done for her. Sheridan ought te marry her and I'll tll him se, tee. He is all powerful with this administration aud he could get her a clerkship as cosily as net. Yeu leave this matter with me," continued Mr. Cameren, " anil when Sheridan gets back te Washington I'll lay the matter befere him and between us we'll sce what can be done." Mr. Housten then left, having, as he savs. " no faith in Cameren's premises aud thinking he only wanted te get rid of me." Six months afterwards Van Ormer again visited Lancaster county. Meeting Housten he said : " I want te thank you for securing that Miss Wrightaclerkshlp." It then transpired tiiat within six weeks after the Housten Cameren interview tbe horeino of Winchester was installed as a clerk iu the treasury department of the government she had be nobly served. Her MnlsEe nud Suuteu'ient Lite, The salary Miss Wright received was net an extravagant ene, but it sufficed te precure for herself aud mother, who has since died iu Missouri, a oemfortable living. Soen an intimacy developed botween her and a young Quaker named Bonsall. Marriage followed, she resigning her clerksblp, and they settled iu the vicinity of Rising Sun, Cecil county, Md,, where he was born and raised. Thore they lived happily until financial distress overtook Mr. Bonsall. Then his enurgctie wife again secured the clerkship she had resigned, and which she holds te this day. Theso who saw Mrs, Bonsall at the reception recently tonderod her by tbe Grand Army Pests of Philadelphia could easily bolievo that she ia a woman of firm nesa and doelslon of obaraetor ; but it would be mero diffleult te cenvince thorn that a scere of years age, when fraternal bleed was reddening the sod ei Virginia's ambrosial vale and Sheridan was just en tering upon a campaign that would make his name immortal, this Quaker woman had only reaehed the twenty. second year of her age. However, time has touched her net ungeutly, and whether or net she is entitled te the panslen Oeneral Sher idan speaks of, she is, If I may be permit ted te paraph'ase the famous Hghter'B remark quoted nt the openlng of this arti cle, at least " entitled, damn it, te the respect and gratitude of all who leve the Union."
