Politics and law are strangely comminglcd
at New York. according to the following para.

thrown in to prevent him and at last one Of

responsible Office, informed one of the judges
that there were some of his friends in certain
department of the Government, and that they
should not be removed if these criminals are al

must they be imprisoned, even for the shortest
period. This seems incredible, but nevcrthc

a common interest in bringing to Justice the
double rascal who would hold off the penalties

blackncss. We say, ont with this whole matter
and let the official ranks be purged Of such ras-
cality.
