away BY this one bold, brave act. True
enough be hiss done no more than his
sworn duty in a trying crisis. but in the
present days Of political degeneracy, not
one'public officer in a thousand dare defy
a party's mandate. He deserves credit
for the position be has taken in this mat
Ter, and his political enemies should have
the honesty to accord him full praise for
it. Gov. Wsrmoth, for q time at least,
has saved the State from scenes of riot
and ~bloodshed. An attempt to force so.

casion to visit New York. \ friend
told him to apply to the manager
Tor a pass, and assured him that
his personal opposition would have
no effect where Il professional cour.
tosy was asked. So the editor
called upon Dean and stated his
case, ending with u request for II
pass to New York.
"Certainly,' replied Richmond,
every happy to obligc YOU y and
he wrote the pass and gave it to the
applicant.
The latter glanced at it, and on
seeing that it was only to New York
requested that it be made for the
round trip.
