The city Of New York has 40 right to
retain the earthly remains Of the greatest
hero Of the war. Not only for ne reason
that the metropolis utterly and shame
fully fails to build an appropriate mouu-
ment 10 him. but because that city was
not ia accord with the great principles
for which he and his armies fought. Or
il il was inclined that way a. matter
Of sentiment it was led to give aid and
couutenauce TO the rebellion for the sake
Of lucre. New York had large element
which was ''agin the government partly
/ tor downright cussedness which came Of
democracy and alien influence: partly be-
cause IL was crowded with "chivalruus

The hula ballo about the lottery BUSH
ness looks somewhat ridiculous when we
look around aud see much worse evils
passed over unnotced by the rampant re-
formers. Nobody ever heard of anybody
being sent to the penitentary for causes

prisons ITO their utmost capacity" a. the
