1t is impossible to believe that institu-
tions managed by brutes in human shape
can be anything but breeding places Of
vice and public nuisances instead Of
public benefits; and it would be better
to abolish them altogether, and devote
the money expended on them for other
purposes, rather than have them take
the character of places of torture.
The daily gazette., 1876-03-08

The Delaware Republican a day or wo
ago.quoted the N. York Herdl against the
Democratic House of Representatives.
Now, IT the editor of the y publican has
any fa''hess in his make up he will set
the Herald right before his readers by
quoting the following. The Herald says:
"The election of a dem pcratic House
of Representative in 1874, now proves to
be national blessing. Not that the
Democratic party is the custodian of the
honor OF the country, but that the exist
ence of a powerful opposition in Cons .ess
is necessary to.honert administration.
Would republican House have investi
gated the corruptions o. the War De-
partment? Never Party pride pro.
hlolted the adm ssion that inqu J was
needed"
