When Brick migrated from the
West, he went in q manner npon the

Lambert, edited and published the
Democrat for the ring and the Wall

gang. Pomeroy's occupation dis
tributed him between the bawdy in
terludes, behind the scenes OF Fisk,
infamous opera boutfe, and the part
of playing sort of clown for the
Tweed Ring about town. His men,
Sykes and Lambert, by means Of
the Democrat, extracted about
quarter of million of dollars from
Dick Connolly's city treasury in
concert with Garvy, Iugersoll, and
others of the brigand gang OF i'm

was cleared out, and took himself

of money to defea. and destroy Nj
Cooper's efforts. and debauch his
agents. Tweed claimed that be paid
Pomeroy some seventy-fye thousand
dollars altogether, and got no bene-
fit from it except the satisfaction Of
Bricks barking and scoting about

with the 6roeAb hackers, and the sus.
tanning Of OWEN King for Congress.
We think that the Democrats of
those two counties will prevail with
the Democrat of the other counties
of this District when they hold their
proposed District convention. We
are then faceto face with the fact
that the aggregate number Of votes
polled in this District last year by
the two parties. respectively, Demo
cratic and Grsenback, was consider
ably greater than the whole number
Of Republican votes pelled herein.
What does that indicate a. eur
plain duty?
Some OF those who voted the
Greenback ticket last year were Re
publicans of many years standing.
In the event Of the proposed coali,
ton with the Democrats, and the
sustaining for Congress of man who
is we'll known to be Democrat by
instinct and habit, very many old
Republican voters will become ex-
ceedingly suspicious. We need
them all; and five offer them a can
didate without reputcd spot or
blemish, they will vote for him.
Their voting for Hazelton is very
doubtful. Again, admitting that
Hazelton has been very much
ma,igned, and falling in with theory
that upon the distinct issue Of hard
money or soft? many Democrats will
vote the hard money ticket, what in
the present state Of things will be
the result?
II is an admitted fact that very
many people are prone to believe
evil of a man. Reports not fatter
ing to Hozelton have certainly been
pretty generally circulated. 1t is,
therefore, fair to assume that very
many people in this District believe
what has been said concerning Haz.
elton. Now, every intelligent Re-
publican of this District knows that
while the great mass of Republicans
are standing proudly firm upon the
money question, there is a consid-
cradle number who are in restless,
somewhat captious state, political.
ly considered. These we must have.
Will it be wise at this truly critical
time to run the risk Of excluding
these from our ranks by running a
man of whom evil things have been
said fittings, which for the present,
we are admitting to be untrue. For
cur part we do not believe that we
can win this canvass in the event
of a coalition, as is proposed, if we
undertake TO straighten mans rep
utation, and fight defensive battle
with the opposition at the same
time. That's all there il about
that!
1t seems very obvious to us, view.
ing the proposed coalition Of Green
hackers and Democrats as an ac-
comphshed fact, and we accept the
present indications as being tanta-
mount to that that the Republican
in this District should be a
strong man. Judge Mills certainly is.
He is well known, pers onally, to al.
most every voter in all but one or
two counties OF this District; and is
to all of them a favorlte. There is
hardly one of them but would trust
hun implicitly as a personal friend
or confidential counsellor. That

Near Fortress Monroe there is lit
tie Catholic church, concerning which
the following story is told
While McClellan's campaign on the
peniusuIar was in progress, the contra
bands fIocked down around Fortress
Monroe BY thousands for food and pro-
lection. One night party OF them,
who had never seen Catholic church.
entered the building. admiring the
altar and its equipments. and one.
holder than the rest. put on the priests
robes, which were hanging in the
closet. He stood before bis fellows to
receive their admiration, when there
was sound like the breaking Of win
dow glass. ard he fell dead on the
floor. The superstitious negroes,
thinking he bad been struck down By
a bolt from outraged Heaven. left the
church liz a ;nmult, and when the man
was found there in the morning with q
bullet in his heart. there Was no one to
offer any explanation. The man was
buried and the incident forgotten.
Months afterward, a message came
from the fort that q soldier lay dying
the hospital and wanted to see the
priest. TIE holy father answered the
summons, and went to the bedside Of
the dying man, who said he carried
great crime on his soul, which he want
ed to confess. The priest then heard
the explanation Of the mysterious trag.
edy in the church. he saw crowd OF
negroes surrounding ore Of their num-
Der who had sacrilegiously assumend
the sacred robes. Ills mnsket was at
his shoulder. aud. being true Catholic,
he took careful aim and shot the
negrow through the heart.
That was terrible crime to carry
on Your soul so long said the priest
1t is an awful thing to kill fellow
being, although. through ignorance, he
was doiog wrong
1T wasn't killing the negro that
lay on my soul. your reverence, re-
piled the soldier; 1T was 70 unceremon-
iously putting bullet through the
