after undergoing the punishment of the shower

case, arrive at the conclusion that the man really
died in consequence Of the excessive punishment,
and yet exculpate the officers of the Prison from
blame. But while the Prison officers are exempt

which attends the unregulated use of the shower

Split OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Union, speaking of the G. Postmaster
General and the New York Times," that paper
having charged the Postmaster General with
extravsgance and folly in executing law OF
Congress directing the establishment OF an over
land mail route, says that aside from the mere
question of responsibility for the establishment
of the overland mail, the Times cannot fail to
see that it was not q revenue measure. The
Union is convinced that the Postmaster Gen.
eral, in putting into operation the route, knew
perfectly well that it would entail a serious
tax upon his Department.; but it was estab-
lished for important State reasons. Itwas in
tended to open up to settlement the great inte-
nor OF the country, to create highways between
the Atlantic and Pacific, and TO invite travel
across the continent; and, in the opinion of the
Union, it is abundsntly justified by considera-
tons of State policy.
