THE OBSERVER New York religious paper,
on the Sickles tragedy -" Tho daily press is
discussing the right and wrong of the affair,
some defending one party and others condemn
ing; but the Christian Judgment is, that O
scoundrel died like a dog by the hend of a
murderer. There is no need of mincing the
matter, or writing long columns to determine
which was the most guilty. The wretch de-
served Gods wrath and curse, and has it. It
was not the right of man, even of a wronged
and ruined man, to inhict the Judgment But
Il came s,oid, terrible and true. Its lesson ,ciU
be ,ohoIesome."

fishes the fact that no State in the Union of
equal extent compares with Ohio in all the ee-
