THB sEQUxL TO THE GARDINER BRUTALITY.
- Gardiner, the brute Who we'll nigh beat to
death the little boy Glendenntng, conscious
OF the enormity of his offence, and fearful
of the consequences, has not only succeeded
In subsidizins the majority of the papers in
this city, (of which fact you were Informed
of yesterday but has gone SO far in the
direction of white-washing his own dirty
conduct as to prefer charges Of assault. and
battery against the frail child upon whom
he psrpetratcd the inhuman butchefy. Yes
terday he appeared before Magistrate List
Of this city, and had the impotence to
swear out warrant, charging the boy with
the offence named-hoping thereby to have
the outrageous character Of his own bru-
tality lessensd by this counter charge. After
hearing in the case, Magistrate List, with
all the dignity Of which he is capable,
caused the little boy to be held in the sum
Of six hundred dollars, to answer, ut the
next term Of Court, the charge Of assault
ing man old enough and big enough to
eat up at one meal, a whole regiment of
him. ''.' ''F
Of course, this is merely piece Of clap
trap, invented by the partisans of Gardiner,
in the hope that Mr.. Glendenning, fearful
of the Incarceration of his child, will with
draw the proceedings instituted against
Gardiner, and allow him to 60 scot free.
IN this little piece of fnesse, however,
these worthy creatures will be sadly mis-
taken, for it is the bold and highly COM
mendable determination Of Mr.. Glendenning
to prosecute the oyer grown rascal, should
it cost him his entire fortune. In this laud-
able action he will be seconded by the re-
spectacle portion of the community, who
owe to themselves and their children
the prosecution of this fellow,
to the extreme limit Of the
the law: and when the other, forlorn
sheets, of this, town, paid for by
people who are lei to believe that they are
subscribing to any supporting newspapers,
still zee the necessity for the hanging of
their diminished "heads" in shame for their
ignoring of the outrage, "The Enquirer"
will have good reason to flap its wings and
crow "over it's mpartiality. To Mr.. Joseph
G. Robinson, the city editor of that paper,
is due the credit of spurning proffered
bribes, ,and publishing the length and breadth
of the whole disgusting story. When the
trial of this case "comes on" there will be
searching inquiry made concerning the re-
cent disposition Of this Gardeners superfu-
GUS "cash." .......s..
THE PSALM sINGING WHEELER & WILSON'S
HOW THEY ROB AND MALTREAT THEIR
UNFORTUNATE sPATRoNs-EsPEcIALLY
THE WOMEN. g'"l- ID "sr..,
The hardened condition or the pnblic
mind, just now, made so by the record of
infamy, which almost daily comes beneath
the microscope Of the newspaper men, is
enabled to withstand the declaration of any
rascality, however infamous, without caus-
ing shudder or creating blush. But
when the preparation ola foul and con-
temptible wrong. in which wealth is upon
the side Of the wrong doer and poverty and
lowly condition upon the side Of the victim,
the reader pauses in his, ,languid perusal of
the calender Of vice, and, mayhap, little
of the old time virtuous indignation is
aroused within him, and he wonders, with
good reason too) if justice and humanity
are longer instincts of the human heart.
This slight preface has been thought ne
cessary to the tale (Which is to follow,
among other reasons, because of the "high
which the culprits have, hitherto
sustained in this community, and the gen.
eral impression Of goodness which has
been associated with their names, through
out the entire country. .r.
There is q poor AID highly respectable
woman residing IN thshcity named Eliza
Gormon. ut For years she has struggled
against alversity, and maintained, through
he storms that beset her path, a large
family of helpless ones, and an honored
,ame. Her pathway lay among almost in
obstacles, and vicissitutides
# every character, surrounded her and re-
srded her steps. At length driven well nigh
o distraction by her pecuniary troubles and
ceiling unable to longer cope with them,
she listened, in weak mo-
nent to the voice of one Of those pests of
ociety known as ''a Sewing Machine
Agsnt." She had informed him over and
gain, that she hadn't the means to rent
10 machine, he clung to her with the
pnscjty Of q leech-told her she might nav
