ment OF despotism only less potent than an
army Of mercenaries. To law-loving people
like ours It's formal processes are most dan
gerous and craft. cloaked In the ermine of the
judiciary may go unchallenged whereit would
be annibilated were IL booted and sburred like
a dragon.
During the past twelve years we
have had to deal with military violence
and usurpation and we overcame them.
Now the same spirit comes tn
us In another gulse. Its edicts are issued by
courts and executed by marshals, and Judges
have but taken the place Of military martin
cts. The danger Is not novel, but only the
guse In which IL comes. During the entire
existence Of the military occupation OF the
Southern States there were not as many people
under duress Ia the whole South as are to-day
In arrest In this State alone according to
legal processes and by the pretended war
rant OF the constitution. This shows the
magnitude OF the danger as well as tho eff
cheney Of tho instrument employed. The
people who refused to succumb TO Grant and
his moss-troopers will hardly submit to
Hayes and his marshals

COURSE OF NEW YORK STATE POLITICS FoR FIJI

Bya special arrangement, some dozen or
more New York preachers chose, last Sun
day, the same subject for their sermons-the
tenement system. New York suffers more
from this than any city OF the world; neither
London, Paris, or even Lyons, are as densely
crowded as the lower portion OF that city.
The population Of the seventeenth ward Of
New York averages 305 to the acre: of the
eleventh ward 326, and in some portions of
the latter ward, $50 to the acre, or 100000 to
tne square mile In one block there are fifty
lmo houses averaging from fifty to ninety
persons 10 the house, and containing a total
populatlon OF over two thousand. A large
majority OF these people, of course live in
interior rooms, entirely without windows
and therefore without light or air Inona

The Herald claims that New York Is the
true pivotal State upon which the election
OF President turns, and sustains this D ei-
ton by an interesting statement OF facts and
figures. Taking Gen. Jackson's election as a
starting point, that being the first time when
the people of the State voted for presidential
electors, IL Is shown that with three excep-
Hons the party which carried New York the
year before presidential election has elected
Its candidate for President. There have been
really but two exceptions, Mr.. Tilden having
been elected In 1876 instead OF Hayes. as
stated by the Herald. New York's potential
