IT HAS COME TO THIS.

The New York Morning Advertiser
gets hot with the weather. In the last
issue of that in every way but political
excellent newspaper we read the follow
ing:
All democrats in this country are not train
robbers, but when you hear of a train being
robbed in this country you can safely lay a
hundred to one that the perpetrators vote the
democratic ticket or affiliate with that organ
izatiOu. Most of them are southern gentle
men, too.
HORACE GREEDY CnCe wrote that every
democrat was not a h0rse.thief, but that
every hOrse-thief was a democrat. But
in a few short years the Great GREEDY
made a trip to Richmond and placed his
signature on the bond of JEFFERSON
DAVIS. So we hope that COLONEL Cock
ERILL will soon see the folly of his way
and ring off about the democratic party.
There are sneaks and rascals in all
parties-but it is brutal in The Advertiser
to write such stuff as the above.

AS TO MOB LAW,

Tennessee mob has just gone through
the business of hanging a man. But a
very unfortunate part of the programme
was that they hanged the wrong fellow.
The fellow it wanted was in a neighbor-
ing town, closely guarded.
We suppose that this will give the
northern press a chance to howl, but at
the same time it shows what fo0lishness
this mob law business is anyhow. The
people make the laws and they elect
prosecutors. 1t is often all right to al
just things when laws cannot be righted,
but mobs should be sure Of what they are
doing. The Tennessee affair is a dis,
grace to civilization.
