He hanged two at Buffalo with his own hand.
First. Patrick Morrissey. on Sept. q. 1872.
Then John Gaffney. on Feb. H. 1873. Thus
he saved the expense Of employing profess

been $50 for the two.
No. Jefferson and Jackson were both pro-

One difference between q Democrat and

JOHN SHERMAN ON BOSSrSM
HIS Comments on Political Mnuarement ,
Hamilton County


Hamilton County.
CINCINNATI. March Ex-senator Sherman bas
written letter. addressed to the Chairman OF
the Citizens Republican Reform Association
OF this city. In reply to one asking him to give
MS opinion OF the movement which has for its
object the overthrow Of bossism. The Senator
says:
y" do not see how any self-respecting Re-
publican can differ with you in your efforts to
secure to the Republican voters of Hamilton
county the free and unimpeded selection OF
candidates for Office without the Intervention
OF boss or the corrupt use Of money to pur-
chase the nominations.
These methods were strikingly exempli-
fed in the last County Convention, when n do
cided majority Of a delegation of ten Repro-
sentatives and three Senators were nominated
for the Ohio Legislature. pledged beforehand
to vote for the person to be designated by the
boss when the time came for the election OF
the Senator Of the United States. His decision
was carefully withheld until the election was
over and was then announced. In this way the
vote for United States Senator of tho most
populous city and county in Ohio was during
the canvass held. as I believe. for sale, not by
the persons nominated as Senators and Rep
resentatives. who are highly reputable citi-
zens. but by corrupt organization which was
exercise the power to vote for United States
Senator intrusted to its nominees
Surely such condition OF public affairs In
Hamilton mi county not only justihes but makes
county should promptly and fcnricssly correct
these practices. 1t does not diminish their re-
sponsbility that similar methods are adopted
by the Democratic party. Since have been in
public lie l have not sought TO influence
nominations and conventions. and do not wish
by this letter to do So eXcept to Join in your
assert their right to mnka nominations
and hold conventions. a right too
and especially to one who would sell nomina.
tons to elective offices: but the innumerabie
offices. employments. contracts. and labor Of n
great gre city and all the public improvements
fund which. used by single manager or. as
is apt TO be the case. bytwo managers. ono OF
each party. tends to destroy the power Of the
people. to promote extravagancc. to increase
taxes. and finally to produce riots and vio-
lence. Whenever such methods appear in
municipal governments It is the duty of good
the boss and enthrone the people. Very re-
specially yours. JOHN SHERMAN"

The Moral Condition of New York.

The Moral Condition of New York.
Last Sunday tho Rev. DR.. SAMPLE OF the
Westminster Presbyterian Church preached
very temperate dignifed and earnest.
though somewhat superficial sermon Oh the
moral condition OF this city.
The great fault with the sermon ia that it
was pcssimistic when 1t ought to have been
hopeful and even exultnnt. DR.. SAMPLE
spoke rs If the moral tendency of Now York
WAS downward. Drunkenness" he said
"meets few restraints. uncleanness is
winked at. and seducers wax worse and
worse:" the public conscience Is de-
bauched:" the police force allows and en-
courages evils the law condemns; :" the au-
thorities clay comparatively little TO-
straint" on tho liquor traffic: land legis-
lation is seeking to relieve them of disre-
garded responsibility by giving tho traffic
practically imperial place and liberty to Gu
slave and destroy men,"
II DR.. SAMPLE had examined the reports
OF the police courts and OF tho Excise Com
missioners. no would have found that in
stead Of being few the restraints upon
drunkenness arc many. Within the last
few years tho number of drinking places 10
viz SAby Auo ucSu tctuSCus uuu VI
by tho police the majority arc for intozica-
ton. Tho whole experience OF civilized
society everywhere shows that 1t Is not
possible to keep lnen by law from using
stimulants. The State cannot thus inter
Zero with their personal liberty. 1t can only
punish them whom by reason Of their in-
temperance thoy disturb tho public order:
and such punishment is administered In
New York with certainty not excelled
In any othcr great community. Nor
u 1t possible to shut up liquor
shops In Now York. for tho ma
joity OF tho people demand that thcy shall
be kept open. and their will must be the
law. II the question were referred to
vote, DR.. SAMPLE knows that it would be
decided In favor Of the trafic. Probably
even the majority Of the Presbyterian men
addressed by him at tho Westminster
Church are themselves drinkers of alcoholic
stimulcnts. and they demand the oppor.

Tho Rev. DR.. RYLANcE, In his sermon Of
last Sunday In St Marks Church on The
Good and Evil in Newspapers" said that
u some OF our secular journals are larger
hearted. more generous in spirit. more Just in
Judgment more active in true charity. and
moro truly Christian than most OF our so-called
religious newspapers" This is a broad and
notable remark: but the preacher ought not
thus to have drawn line between secular and
religious journalism. or put them in separate
camps. The SUM- for example. is a religious
as we'll as secular journal: it deals with the
interests Of mems spirits as we'll as with tho
affairs OF this life and the motions ofthe world:
1t seeks the moral as we'll as the material well
fare Of mankind: it aims to proclaim the truth
In all the spheres Of thought. No lesser mis-
sion than this is worthy Of a paper that pos
sesses the opportunity Of influencing the
course Of human thought and action.
We affirm that it Is improper to put all
papers into two separate camps, the religious
camp and the secular camp paper may be
both secular and religious.
1t Is to be assumed that in speaking Of re-
ligious papers. the preacher referred to tho
papers OF sectarianism. And We fear that very
many OF these papers are deserving OF tho
criticism which he applied to most OF them"
In reading many Of them. week after week. We
cannot help seeing how true it is that they
lack those qualities which the Rev. DR.. RY-
LANCE accuses Thorn OF lacking. such as large
ness of heart. generosity Of thought. fairness
OF judgment. and true charity. Alas! how
many among them are small hearted. petty
Drained narrow chested. blear eyed. pug
nosed. ill-informed unreasoning unjust I'M
charitable. biGoted. presumptuous. and wholly
unworthy to be called religious. Among the
many hundreds Of" so-callcd religious papers"
there are happily some that can be perused
with pleasure and praised with propriety: yet
how very small is the proportion that display
those supernal merits which ought always to
be associated with the word religion!

OF A CONSPIRACY
Colonel Albright Refuses to Lick the
Postage Stamps.
Can 1t Be That We Are to Be Thus
RuthlessIy Ruined?
AN INTERVIEW WHICH is NO GOOD
The Stamp Business Must BE Watched
with Thoughtful Care Till the
End of 1t All.

A deep conspiracy has been unearthed
by THE GLOBE, which prints the news
when news is news. We receive infor-
mation-and while it is perhaps not au-
thentic it bears the semblance Of
truth-to the effect that the present ad
ministration proposes to do up the dem
ocrats
The story as we get it is substantially
as follows:
Wanamaker, postmaster general, says
that these things must be He has re-
Gently had made two million postage
stamps for the south. The mucilage, as
we understand the business, has been
poisoned. The man who buys postage
stamp and lcks it, to place it on a letter
going to his mother far across the deep
blue sea, will Immediately be seized with
a case of cramps and bilious collie, and
will curl up he will kerfummix, and
then lie will die
Not wishing to believe such terrible
report-hoping and thinking that some
thing was wrong, We to day, running a
fearless and unbought newspaper-pan-
dering to the honest people of an honest
community, went and purchased stamp
of Colonel Albright.
We told him that we had a sore tongue,
caused by chewing too much Burley to-
bacco, and he said that if he was swear
ing man, he would say with emphasis,
your sore tongue be id. | am not
licking stamps, but | will lick you in a
holy minute
He absolutely refused to lick the stamp
thus showing to us conclusively, We
rhink, that he knew that there had been
.8-C.ld Pizen,
Placed on those stamps.
We make bold to say that this is a
wicked conspiracy; that it shows the
animus and other things connected with
Wanumaker's administration that it
shows to y hat ends and sides these vi
cious and corrupt politicians will go to
poison democrat.
We will have more to say about this
business. We propose to have the stamps
analyzed, and if we discover poison on
them and mixed in the mucilage, We shall
have congress at once convene to make a
law requiring the postmasters to lick all
the stamps they sell.
This would be better, anyhow, and We
propose, representing the people, to do
what any honest man would naturally do
for his country.

COUNTY INSTITUTE!
OPENED THIS MORNING AT THE
COURT HOUSE
About Twenty-Five Teachers Are Present
and Professor c. ID. MciNer Is
at the Helm.

Durham County Institute convened
this morning at 10 o'clock in the court
house and organized for business. a
few remarks were made bearing upon
the work in general, and little else was
done at the morning session.
At2:3O o'clock the institute convened
again.
Services began by singing the hymn
entitled "Precious Name" and then by
REQUEST of Prof. McIver all stood up and
sang Carolina, Carolina" etc, after
which Professor McIyer made talk on
the subject Economy"
The professor says North Carolinians
are accused OF being cNtravagant, which
is not so, except in one particular. They
continually cry economy, economy, econ
omy, when called upon TO pay small
school tax, but they go 10 circuses, buy
tobacco and whisky, and never think OF
economy. He says our people are ex-
tremely extravagant in one thing, that is
in the valuation Of time. How much
time is wasted, And time is money.
When going off on the cars people are
generally on time but indifferent as 10
time elsewhere.
We could not take in all the professor :
talk lest We lost time in going TO press.
We hope TO see and hear more of the in
stitute before it closes.
