A few days ago a distinguished cler-

city, and put up at one of the leading

this city was for the purpose of reveng.

had been guilty of some improprieties
with the fOrn er's wife some two years
ago, the fruits of which were discovered
but few weeks since. The clergyman
had a friend who was to assist in the
detective John Slowey, who communi-
Gated them to Captain John Young, of
the detective force, who gave Slowey
orders how to proceed to Illustrate the
commission OF the contemplated crime.
The clergyman started from his
hotel yesterday forenoon to carry out
his design; but the detective was on his
track. The parties reached the store of
the merchant, when he was invited to go
to the room Of the clergyman in the
Broadway Hotel, where certain explana-

The Future Of che Americas Labor
er-CIass Legisiation-ExfrnvaEa ans


Colonel Dom Piatt, q leading Radical
member of the Ohio Legislature, is also
the. editor, we believe, of the Maek.a'.
cheek Press. He is rather independent IN
the expressions of bis opinions, for rad.
ical party man, and, occasionally, tens
some very important truth, which Is
proof that he retains something OF his
ancient Democracy. As q specimen OF
his boldness, and of his lingering De-
mocracy, we refer to what he says OF the
ATTEMPT of the Radical Congress to put
mon the country sitter tariff than 1t
has vet had. lie Says This class legls-
lation broke down the Wing party, with
all its talent, wealth and influence. 1t
will and ought to destroy any political
oroanization that sustains it. The great
mass of voters will not sustain system
that tends to make the rich richer, and
the poor poorer. y ~ The cold
blooded greed of the monopolist knows
no satisfaction The more they get, the
more they long for and seek to secu g."
Every Democrat will recognize thst as
old Democratic thunder.
But the Colonel does not stop there.
He grows holder, and thus depicts the
future of the laboring man. He says:
"The time approaches in this country
when the laboring man must look 10 q
life of hopeless labor; the time when his
children will be kept from school to earn
their daily bread; the time when the
clothes he wears and the food he cats
will be his only reoompense for the lard
DAVIS toll, and these clothes and this food
will be coarse and scant. And he Will
see the rich aud well-born enjoying the
reward OF cunning brains and unjust
legislation. And he will find that this
sort owns his President, everawes bis
judiciary, and corrupts his legislature
And when that hour arrives, the party
that has identified itself with such ulho'
| " results will have short shrift and
long repose."
Tina. hour is not far off Another such
a Congress as that whose first session
has Just closed will do the job for the
American laborer. With q debt o.
thousands of millions, and taxes oppres.

added to the public debt and the public
taxes by its reckless extravaganza In
