DECEAsED.-John II. Graham, one of our
old citizens, died on Monday morning in
his seventy-fith year. lie has been in
disabled health for some time and the
event was not unlocked for. Mr.. Graham
has lived in this section all his life, except
the early part of his manhood, which was
spent in EIkton, Nd. His business was
that of timer, and in his more active
NdJ OlN an Olti ScllG DuSlICSS' MI W.
was an upright and useful citizen, a devoted
member of the NJ. L. Church, in which he
held the official position of cXhorter and
casslPadeF for Il number of years and was
particularly conspicuous for his exultant
faith. He leaves widow and daughter,
Mrs. Jas. c. Lassell. Since his death an
autopsy has been had showing tumor in
the breast was the cause of his death.
, AN ExpLANArIox-T Z. Carly has been
, nursing injured feelings land he thinks
! rerutation) 10! these ten weeks, and
finally, when endurance longer ceased to be
2 a virtue, lie rushes to the press to redress
4 his serious grievances. He layes himself
7 out in tue last Sentinel at full length and in
his full proportions, and doubtless feels i'm.
; mensely relieved. If Mr.. G. is happy We
5 are satisfied. We did not, nor do we now
!, see the Importance which he attaches to il
!. but as he seems to be sinartng under sup
$ posed injustice, regard for him renders i
a proper for us to rise and explain"
Our statement was made in Il general way
,. to express surprise at the action OF th'
r. court in refusing to license men agans
q whom there was no remonstrance, while
i year before they granted these same mel
o license in the face of the rcmonstrance O
Il our Town Comi lissioners and 500 citizens
,e Mr.. G. says these 300 names were agains
: two men in this town. Strictly spcakin
10 he is correct, for he was in an adjoinin
s district, but the temperance men of thi
N community say that on the general principa
of of opposition, their work in and out of I'll
20 court included Clayton rs we'll as Smyrn;
er In brief item we had neither time nc
space to particularize in each case, and t
do so we knew would not be beneficial NJ
NV what Mr.. c. wanted. We should have ha
MS to state that his case had a barrier in tn
in eyes Of the law of greater weight than I'll
a 300 remonstrants i'll the statement Of IL
&c Attorney General who arose when h
its name was presented and addressed til
ed Court with, "may it please your Honor
IN. object, the violations of law in this man
Of case have been often and repeated" al
ok the response was, all well, we will p
'ge him on his good behavior The tempe
six ance men felt they had case against NJ
he e. that of all others the judges would !
1m spcct, viz: selling ilicitly; and to gra
him license when this was held up befo
od them by their own law officer, and tn
~; refuse him license when he had been &C
'ha forming to the law as a good citizen, W
~, the occasion of our surprise and the use
oo his name. We could not single him out
tbo particularize without explaining these fac
e. we were not in that mood and only do
~ ~, now because Mr.. Carly has demanded it
- us.
