Take an instance Of what is called Albany
interference: Our Police and Civil Justices
have had their salaries raised by successive
Councils until they FAR exceed those of the
Judges OF Appeals or tho Governor; so it was
not deemed safe to crowd them any higher.
Now they go up to Albany. and, on the repre-
sentation that two of the Police Justices have
extra duties to perform, they solicit and obtain
modest allowance therefor. Instead Of S5,OOO
year, this hard.worked pair orc to have
sc, 500. This was bad enough, even for our
last Soandalous Legislature; but it didn't
satisfy the judicial cormorants who, on the
strength Of it, claim to be paid $4,000 year as
Justices and S6500 more in their special ca

thefts, ranging all the way up from thimblerig

berry, were never before perpetrated in one

Gil in the last of its sinful life
Directly after all this, our new Mayor takes

their constituents will be made to lay the

No intelligent person doubts that Cotton and

were six months ago. They will be cheapened
by Supply oyertaking Demand, under the stimu-

REV. JAMES G, TAYLOR.

The memory of this good man and
eloquent preacher was attacked in the
last Gazette in avery brutal, wanton
and uncalled for manner. Indeed, the
editor of the Gazette seems to delight
in abusing and villifying dead men,
for, If we remember Alright, this is not
the first time that valiant knight has
assailed the.memory of the dead.
Among all classes Of people-Chris-
tians and Pagans alike-the man who
will wantonly insult the finer feelings
of his fellow men by abuse of the
dead, is regard as little better than q
brute.
Mr.. Taylor is gone, and we will
venture few men have ever lived in
Belmont County who led more blame.
less life, or who were more sincerely
mourned.
1t seems to US the larger portion OF

condemn his outrageous course in this
particular.
