partizan Joseph Hoxie had seen thatjournal

make solemn oath that parts of that journal "ooked
something like the hand writing Of Robinson. The
motive is therefore, yet unexplained that could make
Joseph Hexie assume the position he did, while
counsel, within the reach OF handsome fee, cognl-

moral sentiment
Indeed, SO far as this great moral community Is
concerned the mystery is not worth the search.
The only point Of deep interest now IS the solemn
astounding and melancholy fact that IN such case
and before this moral community, club of men in
Broadway House, should unthnkingy, and danngly
make such an experiment on the moral sentiment OF
the age as to put such an individual in nomination.
ard ask the public sanction TO course Of conduct
TIM, is sny the more lamenable the more IT IS exa-
mined Are seventy highly respectable men, as we
may out of courtesy call the Broadway club less un-
der the obligation Of moral feeling and moral pro-
pret, than the counsel who refused his aid to enable
crime to escape or to permit gross RIGHTEOUSNESS to
cheat the laws? Henry X. Stors politician IN
certain stages Of his lfe-but he was one OF those
whose sentiments would never permit him to degrade
his profession by taking any inconsistent with
its moral dignity. Political conduct and political
feelings in these days have degenerated TO the lowest
condition of contempt, if the experiment put forth by
| the Broadway club can succeed in this city.
But apain-when we fnd in addition to the moral
outrage of such proceeding that the party making
/ il and the associate candidates selected are the
prime movers of a series of tyranncal measures
against the people of this city, the like of which is UNI
known in our history, that civil and po-
litical revolution at the polls next month will be as
easily effected as the devil and his legion cast
forth from heaven. We have seen our race-the glo-
rious Anglo Saxon race-drven from these shores IN
bitter hostility and contempt as if they were savages
and pirates-we have seen the taxes OF the city IN
creased and squandered in miserable proflson-in
all kinds of folly and extravagance-we have seen
spectators and usurers encouraged and supported
we have the prices of provisions to the poor, to
the widow, to the orphan, increased and kept up by
unfeeling prosecutions and 6nes-we have seen the
"poor made poorer" and all legislation directed to
advance the rich-and above ALL see, in the daring
nomination Of Joseph Hoxie, the open friend of a
murderer, outrage to the moral feelings, to the
Christian sentiments-to the character of this great
community, which nothing can wipe away but a
| general and simultaneous burst of indignation among
all the elements of virtue of patriotism, of piety Of
purity, and of justice yet extan among ms. 1t cannot

| THE New ExCHANoE.-Mr. Rogers, the ACCOM-
plished architect Of the New Exchange, carried us
through that splendid building on Monday morning
last, when the was shining bright in Wall street,
and the brokers were basking themselves like good
mousers in his balmy rays around
The great vaults Of the Exchange all finished
Such solid mason work never saw. The basement
story built up and the second story, in several sec
tons, begun. The great circular room, with its mag
nificent dome, be used by the merchants is half
up and by the first of January, is calculated, it will
be ready for their reception. The Reading Room, an
| immense arched structure, the line of William
street. is also in great state Of forwardness, and
will be ready for public use in January next.
II is calculated that this immense structure will be
finished by the autumn Of 1889, two years hence.
In following Mr. Rogers through these immense
vaults, and long arched passages, could not help
exclaimng, "God bless me! Mr.. Rogers, this re-
sembles the Montreal Nunnery in Its dark, secret,
mysterious, wonderful passages" He smiled i
would advise Col. Stone to take look.
This great building is erected entirely of granite
from Quincy, and of brick from Philadelphia. There
is not particle Of ioood about It, Its vast arches
are modelled on those durable principles and proper
ties, which have stood the test of ages in the old
structures of Europe. Some Of the columns weigh
20, some 80, some 40 tons. II is now nearly as far
forward as the Custom House, and will soon leave that
work far behind.
Success to genius and enterprise! VIII the ladies
come and look at these new buildings? 1t will

employed in this enterprise
| Er We have received singular anonymous pam
phle purporting to give account of the Wife OF
the three Husbands" which reflects very improperly
upon respectable lady of this city, named Mrs. Dis
brow.
We understand that some singular circumstances
are connected with the history of Mrs. Dsbrow, her
husband, Mr.. Disbrow-the situation OF sorse pro-
pery-and the efforts of lawyers about it, and about
it, and about it. Finally, Mr. and Mrs. Dsbrow fell
deeply in love with each other-pedged their several
faiths and troths and lived happily together for
time Mr.. Disbrow was and is engaged by the Man
haitian company TO supply the city with pure water
Mrs. Disbrow kept boarding house. What took
place afterwards is remarkable but this shall re-
