and drunkards, of ward rowdies and fight

and even children, who have almost fallen
from the cradle into the cell.
This prison derives its name, not SO
much from the applicability of the ceme-
terial quotation, "those who enter here
leave hope behind" as it does from the
style of architecture, being built in SINH
lar architectural appearance to the cele-
brated Catacombs in Egypt, and many Of
its inmates are almost as hideous and for
bidding in appearance as the mummies Of
that dusky land; and were it not for the
juices of the vile liquors with which they
are soaked, would be as dry of all the
springs of life.
What sad commentary is presented in
this famed police court upon human de.
graduation and moral deformity; humanity
in its pitiful personifcation, or in its
brutal characteristics in all that sinks
them to the level of passive brutes, OF
distorts them into the hdeous activity OF

EDIToR or THE REPUBLiCAN-SE: Allow me
through the columns Of your paper To correct
statement made IN reference 10 Mr.. II. NJ.
Browne. Il seems that one or two designing
politicians who, as learn, constitute In reality
the famous "Sumnor eleven" placed the name
Of Mr.. Browne, without his authority, among
the supporters Of Mr.. Greeley and Brown. II Is
true Mr. Browne did attach his name 10 a paper
addressed 10 SeRRt0T Sumner; but In signing this
letter he sought simply the Senator'S opinion
In regard TO some political questions, knowing
his past devotion 10 the cOlOred people, and be.
lleylng that In the present political crisis he
would take a proper stand. This Mr. Browne
sought, aud nothing more. He never for mo-
ment contemplated following Mr.. Sumner into
the Democratic ranks. Mr. Browne Is pAtri.
Otlo young man OF ability and intelligence, and
IL not prepared 10 eat nJTied erOigs and bHiisTsd
iodteTHleiOHs," which his pseudo friends have so
designedly spread for him. No, Mr.. Editor, Mr..
Browne Is a BtAunoh Republican, and will in
the coming Presidential election, give his In.
huenco for Grant and Wilson.
