WEDNESDAY, JULY 2.1879.
TAPPING THE WIRES.
Both houses of Congress adjourned sine
die at 5 p. m. yesterday. Before adjourn
ment, the Senate passed, by a viva voce vote,
the bill placing quinine on the free list,
which has been signed by Mr. Hayes.
The anti political assessment bill went
over without action, in consequence of
dilatory motions by the Republicans. Sev
eral unimportant bills were passed by the
House. Nothing of any special interest
characterized the closing scenes.
Professor William Minis Fontaine, at pre
sent of the faculty of the University of
West Virginia, at Morgantown, has been
elected to the chair of Natural History and
Botany in the University of Virginia,recently
endowed by Mr. Wm. W. Corcoran, of
Washington city.
The Louisiana Constitutional Convention
yesterday adopted a substitute for the
minority report on the State debt. It
recognizes the principal of the debt, but
reduces the interest to three per cent, for
fifteen years, and four per cent, thereafter.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times says that a majority of the Bonapart-
ists are understood to concur with M. Rou
- her In acknowledging Prince Jerome Bona
parte as chief of the Napoleonic dynasty.
They argue that the will of the late Prince,
asking that his mother co-operate with
Prince Victor, was written with the expec
tancy of the latter surviving Prince Jerome.
This is considered, however, as only an ex
cuse for a non-observance of the impracti
cable will of the Prince.
The Maine Democrats yesterday, in con
vention, adopted a strong platform. It
denounced Federal Interference at elections,
endorses the course of the Democracy in
Congress and condemns that of the Repub
licans, favors gold, silver and paper money
to be held at par with each other, and also
favors the unlimited coinage of silver.
The Maine Democrats have unanimously
renominated Dr. Garcelon, present incum
bent, for Governor.
The Democratic Convention of California
assembled at San Francisco yesterday.
A single scull race on Silver Lake, Massa
chusetts, between Warren Snfith, of Halifax,
and Evan Morris, of Pittsburg, for five hun
dred dollars aside, one and a half miles and
return, was rowed yesterday. It was won by
half a length clear water by Smith in twen
ty-one minutes, five seconds, the fastest
time on record.
Ten per cent, of the income of the'Havana
lottery is decreed to go to the “amortiza
tion” of the paper currency of the island.
The Louisiana Convention has decided to
take the capital of the State back to Baton
Rouge.
The Tennessee State Board of Health
have approved the sanitary suggestions and
recommendations of the Sanitary Council of
the Mississippi valley, and has pledged itself
to carry out the same faithfully.
Prominent representatives of the labor
reform cause in Boston deny reports that a
general strike on the 4th Inst, is imminent.
The Times thinks the government’s Irish
University bill is not perfect, but that it is a
step in the right direction.
The Light House Board gives notice that
the gap in the dam at the Inlet of Cape
Fear river has been filled up, and the whole
distance between Zehe’s Island and Federal
Point has been closed.
The Senate yesterday confirmed the nomi
nations of Louis A. Barnes to be Register,
and John T. Rollins to be Receiver of Public
Money at Gainesville, Florida.
A monument Is to be erected in England
to the late Prince Imperial. The Duke of
Cambridge, Lord Napier, and nearly all the
best known Generals in the army are on
the committee on army officers to superin
tend the movement.
At Fall River yesterday many of the mills
started up, and a large increase of ma
chinery in motion is reported. Several
Union 6pinners have returned to work.
The Danger of Monarchical Tenden
cies in America.
On our first page we print from the
Louisville (Ky.) Aye a letter from the
Sage of Monticello, written in 1825 to
Mr. William Short, of Philadelphia, who
died in that city in 1840. His grand
daughter, Mrs. W. Allen Richardson, of
“Ivy Wood,” near Louisville, Ky., has
in her possession a collection of his cor
respondence, among which are letters
from Jefferson, Rutledge, Fulton and
Lafayette. The letter of Jefferson,
now first published, is characteristic
of its distinguished author, the father of
the Democratic party, and will be read by
the American people with especial in
terest at this time, when its prophetic
warnings are so near being realized. As
the Age remarks in its introduction of
the letter to its readers, “the views of
Mr. Jefferson as to the real danger of
monarchical tendencies in America among
certain classes make fresh and pregnant
reading, almost a revelation.”
The Adjournment of
Yesterday at 5 p. m. the extra session
of the Forty-fifth Congress adjourned
sine die. The work it has accomplished,
and the bitter and persevering struggle
made by the Democratic majority to se
cure political rights and civil liberty to
the people, and the equally persistent
efforts made by a revolutionary minority,
backed up by a fraudulent Executive, to
secure power at future elections by
means of force, fraud and
Federal system of espionage, are now
matters of history. They are known
to every voter in the land from Canada
to the Rio Grande, and the issue between
the two parties wasneyer more distinctly
marked. Hereafter whether or not the
people of the United States appreciate
civil liberty and are worthy of self-gov
ernment will be the question to be de
cided at the polls. If the Democratic
party is sustained by the country this
question will be decided in the affirma
tive. If the Republican is upheld after
the unceasing efforts made by its leaders
in Congress and its de facto Executive to
still more firmly rivet the chains they
had already forged for freemen, then
it will be decided most emphatically in
the negative.
While the Democratic majority in the
present Congress have not accomplished
all they hoped to do, they certainly have
accomplished much, and, under the cir
cumstances, have done welL They have,
in their battle to secure the rights and
liberties of the people, been frequently
repulsed by the Executive veto., but
after each repulse they have ral
lied gallantly to the attack with
renewed energy. As a result
they have prevented' the wholesale
and unrestricted use of the army as a
police force at the polls, and have, there
fore, put a decided check upon the con
trol of elections by the bayonet They
have also refused to permit the people’s
money to be used by Hayes for main
taining an army of armed marshals and
deputy marshals at the polls to overawe,
intimidate and arbitrarily arrest Ameri
can citizens, and have thus, as far as
possible, guaranteed personal liberty at
elections. And, be it understood, all
this has been accomplished without any
surrender of principle and without en
abling their enemies to charge them with
having starved the government to death.
These results have not, it is true, been
as complete as the majority desired, for
their hope was to have secured perma
nent and unrestricted freedom to Ameri
can voters. As it is they have only been
able to partially carry their point, and
that only during the coming fiscal year;
but what they have accomplished can be
again effected year by year until, with
full control of the country in 1880, they
can give an effective coup de grace to all
the tyrannical, infamous and despotic
laws with which Radicalism has sought
to destroy the republic, and erect on its
ruins a centralized, consolidated govern
ment, to be upheld by force.
Our dispatches state that the Demo
cratic members are, all things considered,
well satisfied with their work, and feel
confident that on an appeal to the country
they will be sustained. They have
certainly made the issue between them
selves and their opponents plain enough,
and if they are not sustained it will, as
we have said, only be because the people
have grown tired of self-government, and
are feady to surrender their freedom and
yield themselves to slavery.
Some very curious estimates have al
ready been made concerning the prob
able population of the United States in
1880, and what effect the apportionment
resulting from the census then to be
taken will have on the distribution of
political power. Estimating thepopula
tion of the country in 1880 at 46,500,000,
and assuming 300 as the number of Rep
resentatives in Congress under the next
apportionment, the Washington Republi
can calculates that the Southern Slates
will lose seven, while the Northern States
will gain fourteen Representatives. It
estimates that the Northeastern States
will gain twenty-one, making a net
gain of fourteen; also that Texas
and Missouri will each gain three,
while the other Southern States
will lose thirteen, making a net loss of
seven. Assuming that the population
will be 50,000,000, and that the number
of Representatives will be 300, the Re
publican assigns 213 Representatives to
the Northern States and 87 to the South
ern States. According to this estimate,
the strength of the Northern States in
the Electoral College will be 257, while
that of the Southern States will be only
119. According to the first estimate
Iowa and Kansas will gain four Repre
sentatives each, Illinois, Michigan and
Minnesota three each, Nebraska two
and Wisconsin one. Of course, the re
apportionment will not be made until
after the next Presidential election, when
it is highly probable that the Radicals
will find their calculations greatly at
fault.
The movement in the direction of a
suitable commemoration of the comple
tion of a quarter of a century of exis
tence of the Republican party has given
rise to some controversy as to the genesis
of the party.—Boston Advertiser.
A bastard, that knows not its father,
nor the town or even the State where it
was born, need not greatly concern itself
about a celebration of its 25th birthday.
The Democratic party has existed as
long as the century, and never stole the
Presidency; never robbed a crushed peo
ple through carpet-baggers; never pro
duced a Grant administration whose
appointees proved defaulters to
the tune of five millions six hun
dred thousand dollars; never had a
Secretary of the Navy, who plundered
the Treasury outright to the extent of
eighty millions, like “Secor” Robeson,
nor two Secretaries of War, or any Sena
tors, whcThad to be removed on account
of official corruption. All the same let
the Republicans celebrate; they have
done considerable, as the fellow did who
not only cradled a field of rye, but stole
the farmers horse and got off with it.
If only he won’t come back and steal
the whole farm, the people will be will
ing to join the celebration.—Hartford
Times.
of the Khedive of |
Egypt at the dictation of the European
powers is an ignominious ending for
ruler, who during his short reign has car
ried things with a high hand. Bankrupt
and without a party of any consequence,
he is figuratively kicked out of his pal
ace, and he goes with an amount of
meekness wonderfully at variance with
his recent braggadocio. That his son,
Prince Tewfik, reigns in his stead proves
that the real rulers of Egypt will be found
in London and Paris. The ex-Khedive,
Ismail Pasha, has had a romantic career.
The son of Ibrahim Pasha, he succeeded
not only to the Viceroyal throne of his
grandfather. Mohammed Ali, but to the
ambitious projects of that unscrupulous
ruler. He was bom at Cairo, December
31, 1830, and was educated at Paris.
In 1863 he succeeded his brother,
Said Pasha, becoming the fifth
Viceroy. He pursued the plans
of Mohammed Ali, except that he
made no attempt on Syria, and, instead
of attempting to make Egypt indepen
dent by force of arms, achieved an indepen
deuce for it in almost everything except
the name by the payment of a large an
nual tribute to the Sultan. In 1868 he
was allowed to assume the title of Khe
dive, a designation of Persian origin and
of uncertain meaning. In 1873 the full
autonomy of the country was granted
by the Porte, and a law of primogeniture
was enacted in favor of Ismail Pasha’s
family. The Khedive was required to
pay an annual tribute of $3,500,000 to
Turkey, out of a total revenue estimated
then at $12,000,000. He did a great deal
for the internal improvement of his
country, establishing schools, building
railways, assisting in the Suez canal en
terprise, and running into debt generally
while he seemed to be prospering. In
1876 an investigation of his affairs by
an expert showed that the Egyptian
debt of all kinds, though not heavy
for a State borrowing money
four or five per cent., was too
much for au Oriental country borrowing
at thirteen per cent After a number ol
efforts to work a reformation an English
man, Mr. Rivers Wilson, assumed the
duties of Minister of Finance, but in
February last he was summarily deposed.
The European creditors objected, France
and England joining in a protest The
Khedive would not agree to their dicta
tion, and, as his action met with popular
approbation, it was only when the Forte
turned against him that he found it the
part of wisdom to go. Whether the
creditor ns'ions will be able to get much
immediate return from the country re
mains to be seen. The prospect is not
encouraging. The exports, which were
$77,500,000 in 1877, fell to $40,000,000 in
1878.
The new Khedive was born in 1852,
and has an English education. He mar
ried a daughter of El Hamy Pasha, by
whom he has three children. His views
are said to be liberal, and he has shown
much interest in the prosperity of his
country.

Washington, July 1.—The adjournment
of Congress to-day was very quiet and with
out any exciting features whatever. There
were bat few people in the galleries. Mem
bers of Congress are rapidly getting oat of
town to-night. Talks with leading Demo
crats show that they, are highly pleased with
the work of the session, and that they are
all of opinion that it has strengthened the
party before the country, while at the same
time it has accomplished nearly everything
that was laid out to be done. They have
every confidence that in the issues so clearly
defined they will be sustained by the people,
and that the fall elections will show this
most decisively.
Senator Harris managed the free quinine
bill exceUently in the Senate to-day, and
passed without a vote in the negative. The
bill was enrolled, presented to Hayes and
signed. Representative Covert, of New
York, and Senator Harris have already re
ceived numerous congratulations by tele
graph for the manner in which they handled
this bill in the House and Senate re
spectively.
Boston, July li ^
tives of the labor reform cause in this city
say there is no good foundation for the re

meetings by trades unions in many parts of
the West have been set down for the 4th of

Thetdmeres: A Novel. By MUs S. 5. El
liott. P. Appleton & Co., New York,
We have received from Mr. S. A.
Schreiner a copy of the above work, writ
ten by a daughter of the late Bishop Ste
phen Elliott It is a stoiy of a young
woman, the daughter of an infidel father
»by whom in early childhood she was
pledged to abjure Christianity, and live
. jd die an unbeliever in religion. It por-
i • ■ys in a striking manner the trials and
' 'jlaLions experienced throughout life
- (Ms child, caused by the constant
’ .tter struggle between an instinctive
. entiousness of the truths of religion
• - Me side, snd loyalty to the pledge she
ad given her father on the other.
' It is an exceedingly well written book,
and is one of the best answers to the
teachings of latter day infidelity that we
have yet seen. It will well repay pe
rusal, and reflects great credit on the au
thoress, upon whose name the talents of
her distinguished father have already
elied such brilliant lustre.
By the use of steel instead of iron rails
it Is estimated that the railroads of the
country save $19,000,000 a year. On
the New York and Erie new rails for re
pairs cost $3,039 a mile in 1873 and but
$353 last year. This comparison is mis-
leading. The only correct basis for a
conclusion is to average a series of years
bearing the same ratio to the life of the
rail in each case. The advantage will be
found to be very largely on the side of
steeL
Germany is getting as hot for silver aS
England, and the Bismarckian policy of
dodging the issue will soon have to give
way to the popular will. The banking
• and mercantile interests of Germany
have got their eyes open, and now that
they understand that monometalism is
only another word for monomania, the
government will not he long in discover
ing that the silver question needs speedy
md serious consideration.
The Honorable Edwards Pierrepont
and the Honorable George M. Robeson

Leprosy has made its appearance in
several parts of the Spanish province of
Alicante, and the authorities, alarmed by
the number of cases and the mortality,
have taken steps to establish a special
hospital for lepers. Id the province of
Valencia one hundred and sixteen cases
were reported last year, of which
seventy-one proved fatal; and in this
province there has existed for a long
time a leper’s hospital. Leprosy is
known there under two names, the
malady of Maures and the malady of St
Lazarus; and it manifests itself under
two forms, the tubercular or leprosy of
the Greeks, and the vulgar, or leprosy of
the Jews, Cases of recovery are ex
tremely rare. Full statistics respecting
it are not to he procured, as its victims
often resort to concealment The notion
that leprosy is to he found now only in
Asia and Africa is erroneous; it is met
with in various countries of Continental
Europe.
Remarking on the political situation in
Washington, the correspondent of the
Baltimore Bun says; “The Democrats
are in an extremely contented frame of
mind. A month or six weeks ago many
of them were privately despondent, no
matter what their public utterances were,
but all this has changed. The most con
servative and sagacious among them say
now that the end has practically been
reached; they consider the three months
spent in extra session to have been pro
ductive of great good, and that the van
tage ground now occupied by the party
before the country could not be better.
They will go from here with high hopes,
prepared to enter enthusiastically on the
work of the coming campaign, cqnfidcnt
that the stand they have taken in favor
of free elections must meet the indorse
ment of a free people.”
The paper which was recently circu
lated among the Democratic Senators for
their signatures, requesting Bayard to
withdraw hia letter of resignation of the
Chairmanship of the Finance Committee,
was signed by only eighteen Senators.
Of this number ten were silverites and
eight anti-silverites. It was thought that,
as the request was based largely upon
personal grounds, there would be no
difficulty in obtaining the signatures of
all, or nearly all, the Democratic Sena
tors. But the fact that less than a third
of the ellverjtes have signed the paper
has greatly diseouiagsd Bayard’s friends,
who now say that they fear Mr, Bayard
will ultimately be forced to resign his
position. The following are the Demo
crats who signed the letter to Bayard:
Wallace, Thurman, McDonald, Ransom,
Vance, Jones, Call, Hill, Harris, Bailey,
Saulsbury, Whyte, Eeruan jjaiqpton,
Davis, Butler, Groome and Eaton-
Statistics of birth registration collected
from official sources in New York city,
by the New York Herald, give some
curious results. If the figures arc trust
worthy they show that the German-
American population of that city is in
creasing in a much greater ratio than the
Irish-Ameriean. By the census of 1875
New York city contained 199,084 Irish
and 105,031 Germans. In both cases the
number of males exceeded the number
of females iu the proportion of 0 to 4.
The number of children born of German
parents was 39,538, the number born of
Irish parents was 30,369. Thus nearly
twice as many German children were
bom as Irish, although there is a smaller
German population. It is estimated that
of every 1,000 children born in New
York 403 are German and 311 are Irish,
American 241.
After a four months tour through the
United States in behalf of the movement
for improving pur commercial relations
with France, M. IfiOff gb»tteau has de
cided to suspend bis labors off. this .conti
nent until the autumn. As a result of
his efforts, about fifty commercial organi
zations, representing nearly all the im
portant trading centres of the country,
have adopted resolutions supporting the
suggested reciprocity treaty with our
sister republic. Even the committee of
the San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce, which at first expressed itself as
decidedly opposed to the proposed treaty,
has since resolved to review the question
without preconceived prejudice or bias.
The success of M. Chatteau’s mission
should encourage the French committee
to pursue their efforts quid a reeu’t satis
factory to both countries is reached-
Until ex-President Grant reached
China, but one paper (the New York
Herald) went to the trouble und expense
of closely reporting his journey. Now,
however, the Republican papers are tak
ing especial pains to report ids reception
in China, and the lightest words uttered
by him or his - entertainers are given ver
batim. It would be very interesting,
says the Bridgeport Farmer,Xo know the
cause of this remarkable change of jour
nalistic policy, possibly the published
letters are “paid advertisements;” they
certainly read very much alike.
It is said that witftm the past six weeks
trade dollars, amounting in the aggre
gate to over $5,000,000, have been im
ported from China and sold by specie
brokers in New York city to manufac
turers at the East mid other interior
points, by whom they have been bought
for use in the payment of wages. They
are purchased by the latter at a small
discount and paid out at par. The opin
ion is expressed that nearly all of the
trade dollars that are not “chopped,” or
Stamped with the mark of Chinese trades-
men, have now been returned to this
country. Since Die proposition to re
deem them at par has been agitated, the
discount on their value has continually
grown less. The Chinese seem to have
giade nearly all their expected profit
up00 tije trade dollars in advance of the
passage of ijje frlj fo< their benefit.
Opposition tojhe Oneida Community
folks is growing stronger among some of
the clergymen in their vicinity, very
prominent among whom is Bishop Hunt
ington, qf tffB protestant Episcopal
dMpdfe. He and others have .teen ob
taining Wl&Brefrew S9We ex-members
of the Community, Tfee Sishflp aijys
that some of the literature which is sent
out from the Community is illegally ob-
teene, and that some of the practices of
the free loyers are worse than those of
the polygamists. Able lawyers are said
to be cq-operating with these clergymen,
and a demonstration on the .Community
may soon be looked for, involving the
arrest of some of its principal men and
women. The trouble will be to prove
tife gharges. The Oneida people are as
flbravd «S tbey ere vile.
An alarming increase in the number of
divorces in Massachusetts js noted by a
Boston exchange. The coarts daring the
last nineteen years have granted seven
thousand two hundred and twenty-three
absolute divorces, and more than half of
this number were given within the last
en years. 4s the rate of increase is
much greater than ilpe crease in mar
riages, these figures are certainly gqt .en
couraging.
From $ Upw Tort Jeftefjo a
paper, it appears th$t Hon. August Bel
mont came to Jfew Yqrfc gs the agent of
the Rothschilds; that he £h$qge4 hi?
true name, “Schonberg,” to “Belmont
that he was a Jew, but renounced his
faith; he is now about seventy
years old, and his weaitn li ^gtisuffed at
a million. “Rather strange, though hg
has been a Wall street man for so many
years, he has never been drawn into
stock speculations. Ho one has ever
heard of Belmont’s name in any ‘corner’
or street operation among bulls and bears.
He has confined jmnself closely to his
original specialty, and h%s built up an

The New York Society for the Preser
vation of the Irish Language held its
first anniversary the other day, and there
was a general expression of satisfaction
at the progress the society had made
during the first year of its existence.
Branch societies had been started in sev
eral other cities, which are doing well,
and the preservation of the Irish lan
guage iu this country seems to be assured
within the compass of a small circle of
teachers and students. One carious fact
in the Irish language preservers is, that
the literature used is English translated
into the Celtic—Moore’s melodies and
other sweet things. This is probably the
first instance on record of an effort to
preserve a language that has no sufficient
literature of its own for a basis and a
motive.

The Colored Exodus.—The Board
of Trade of Louisville, Ky., has adopted
a resolution declaring that the policy by
which it has recently been attempted at
several points in the North and West to
depopulate the South is “unjust to the
planter, cruel to the npgro, and danger
ous in results.” In this connection it
may be stated that the Cincinnati Com
mercial has backed down on the Conway
steamboat deliverance plan, and says the
“illusion” of the colored people is one
“for the encouragement of which
would not willingly be responsible.” 411
accounts agree thpt, notwithstanding the
extraordinary efforts of the Conways,
the Windoms, the Philipses, and their
emissaries, the pxocjus fever has about
died out, for this season at least.
Mr. George Reynolds, of Utah, the
Mormon convicted of polygamy and sen

was questioned by an Omaha reporter
while on bis way to the Nebraska peni

statement recently made in bis be
half by Mr. Cannon, the Delegate from
Utah, to the effect that bis oaso was in
tended to be a test case. He bimself
supplied tbe evidence upon wbicb he
was indicted, and also the evidence upon
wbicb be was convicted. He said, re
garding tbe law against polygamy: “We
have a revelation which says if we do
not obey we shall be damned. We have
to choose between being damned and
being fined and imprisoned. I prefer
the latter. ”
PLATFORM OF MAINE DEMOCRATS.
Bangor, Ms., July 1.—In the Democratic
State Convention to-day the Committee on
Resolutions reported a platform denouncinj *
interference with elections by means o:
deputy marshals hired by a fraudulent
Executive to peipetuate its own power;
approving the efforts made by the Demo
crats in Congress to repeal the outrageous
and obnoxious laws which authorize
such interference, and condemning
the action of the Republican
leaders in keeping alive sectional
interests and hatred. The platform also
favors a currency of gold, silver and paper,
the paper to be kept at all times at par with
gold, and it approved free and unlimited
coinage of silver. A minority report favor
ing local option license laws was offered,
and created great confusion. It was finally
rejected and the majority report was adop
ted. Governor Garcelon was introduced
and made a speech, after which the conver,
tion adjourned.

THE LOUISIANA DEBT—rTHB SyAfB CAPITAL.
New Orleans, July i.—The substitute
fqr the second section of the ordinance of
fered hy the majority, as previously tele-
Tbe Moral of the Blair Case.
Brooklyn Eagle.
The account of the shooting of John
Armstrong, coachman, by bis employer,
Joseph A. Blair, at Montclair, N. J.,
will have been read with mingled feel
ings of astonishment and bitter indigna
tion. Tbe popular fury which is said to
have been expressed in threats to hang
Mr. Blair without shrift, is folly justified
by the deed. Nothing more shocking or
more cowardly has taken place for a very
long time. An ill-tempered, ill-mannered
parvenu, tyrannizing over his employe,
took him severely to task because in the
exercise of his rights he drank a glass of
beer. After abusing the poor fellow
until he had exasperated him to wild
ness. the miserable despot actually went
for a revolver, and without the least ap
parent provocation shot his hired man
twice in tbe back. The claim that he
did it in self defense is sheer nonsense.
No man attacks another with his back.
The fact that Mr. Blair went into his
house for the pistol indicates that he
lest his temper with his employe,
and being unable to give vent to
his rage in blows obtained a deadly
weapon to punish him with. Mr.
Blair represents a type of person who
needs prompt repression. Having
enough property to live luxuriously, the
Blairs assume a superiority to their fel
low mortals who are not thus gifted.
They bully their unfortunate servants
because tbe poor creatures are at a dis
advantage. Whatever spite they feel
against their social equals they vent upon
those who, according to our artificial
mode of living, are their social inferiors.
Mr. Blair’s presumption that his money
would protect him from the consequences
of his' brutality sepias to h^ve been
; ustified. Armstrong will probably die
< >f his wounds. A Jersey Justice Shal
low, instead of promptly committing
Blair to jail allowed njm to go to his
own house under guard. The guard was
not even a qualified officer. Shocking
as was the Bull murder, the attack upon
the poor Irish boy was a thousand times
more dangerous to the commonwealth.
If Armstrong dies Mf. Blair deserves a
Punishment compared wfth which hang-
ng is a lenient sentence.
Young Armstrong died of his wounds
and his cowardly slayer is under arres -
for his murder. Had the shooting taken
place in a Southern State the circum
stance might have served the Northern
Radical press, or even the editor of
Scribner's Monthly, as a text for a series
of articles on Southern barbarism.
