Adams Andrew Jackson Martin I Van Buren. Washington, D. C ' Sept. 8th, '75. Jno. Quincy Adams. Tho olectionjiof Jno. Quincy Adams wua attributed by some to tho treach- ery of Henri' Clay, while others said it was owing to tho fact that Craw-lor- d his formidable opponent, was righteously though regretfully defeat- ed owing to the fact that his health nnd mind had grown feeble, thus in- capacitating him to hold the reins of government. Certain it is, however, that Adams' election was, at best, an accident, and this fact encouraged uud provided ground-wor- k for vicious attacks upon him as a man and ollioi-si- l. Ho was careful in organizing his Cabinet, and did form an able one, with Clay as his Secretary of State; but this did not secure him immunity from violent opposition, though pro- bably no President ever dreaded and feared opposition more than he. The fact of his soliciting Clay as his Sec- retary of State, gave color to the charge of his bargaining with Clay, and his enemies made the most of it. A strong effort, nearly successful, waB made to withdraw from the Executive the distribution of official patronage, and every measure resorted to calcu- lated to lower the President in the es- timation of Congress and the people. But Charles Francis Adams has late- ly written a work entitled Memoirs of John Quincy Adams, which fully es- tablishes the fact that in his day the press teemed with invective against that dignitary, and that in 1S25-2- 9, vi- tuperation was largely indulged in by editors and speakers opposed to the administration. Charles Adams quotes John Quincy : "No man in America has made his way through showersof ribaldry and Invective of this charac- ter more frequently than I have breasted It." To cap tho whole wo have Indubita- ble proof that John Quincy Adams retired as did John Adams, sick at heart and sorely distressed, conse- quent upon tho criticisms which had fallen upon him during his term of ofiice. In modoru parlance "he couldn't stand grief.' Andrew Jackson. As stated in our resume of President Monroe's rule, Gon. Jackson wrote him suggesting and urging that poli- tics should not be permitted to enter into the distribution of tho oflices, yet when Jackson succeeded to power he outrivaled all his predecessors in decapitating the official heads of those who had been provided for by Presi- dents, from Washington down, and providing for hisown political friends. During Washington's term of office there were 7ii?ie removals; of these one was a defaulter. In John Adams administration of four years, there were ten removals ; one of these was a defaulter. In Jefferson's of eight years there were thirty-nin- e removals. In James Madison's of eight years, there were five removals, of which three were defaulters. In James Monroe's, of eight years, there were it"c removals, of which six were for cause. In J. Q. Adam's, of four years, there were two removals, both for cause. Total removals by the six Presidents, seventy-fou- r. Tho num- ber of appointments made by Gen. Jackson during the first recess of the Senate was one hundred and seventy-six- , principally of political opponents. Of course this wholesale decapita- tion of officials caused considerable Irritation, which was augmeuted by Jackson's extensive disposal of exec- utive patronage of members of Con- gress. Jno. Q. Adams was called up- on for a report as to precedents in this matter, which brought out that under Washington ten were appointed ; un- der Jno. Adams, thirteen Jefferson, twenty-fiv- e; Madison, twenty-nin- e; Monroe, thirty-fiv- e; Jno. Q. Adams, five. During Jackson's first three mouths he appointed twelve. Then Jackson iDvited criticism by his Inconsistencies. When he had rupture with Calhoun, a letter written by Gen. Jaokson to Gen. Hayne was published in which the writer en- dorsed Hayne's speech on Foot's reso lution. The resolution of Poote's re- lated simply to publio lands, but the debate thereon branched outward, embracing tho fundamental princi- ples of the Government. Hayne as- serted that nullification was a power inherent in a State, which she was privileged to exercise irrespective of the pleasure or will of the general government. Jackson, with his own sign manuel, wrote Hayne declaring that ho had promulgated the true principlesof our Government and that he would have his speech printed on satin and hung up in his obamber. To show how the press belabored Jackson we quote from the Richmond Enquirer, edited by Ritchie, on the receipt of the news of the General's action in executing tho prisoners al- luded to in our sketch of the Presi- dential days of Monroe: "Thus has an American officer destroyed the lives of two of his fellow courtiers, without any rightful power, without any adequate motive, arid with such indecent precipitancy as hardly to give time for prayers in the interval between judgment end death. Hu- manity blushes at the reoltal, and na- tional pride sinks in the'iAmerican heart, oppressed with the load of ebamo and grief. He has abrogated the known laws of nature, and pro- mulgated a new code of his own, con- ceived in madness or folly and written in blood. He has, in fine, violated all laws, human and divine, and violated them with impunity." Jaokson is the only President from Washington down to Grant, who has ever been violently assailed on the floors of Congress. His political and moral oharacterwere there canvassed, and in lauguago more forcible than chaste. Parton In his,biography of Jackson says: If he were asked what kind of a man Jackson was from what he eli- cited from inquiry, he would suy that he found him to bo "a patriot and a traitor. Ono of the greatest Generals, and wholly ignorant of the art of war. A writer, brilliant, elegant, eloquent, without being able to compose a cor- rect sentence," or spell" a word of four syllables. The first of statesmen, he never devised, he never framed a measure. He was the most candid of men, and was capable of the profound-es- t dissimulation. A most law-defyin- g, law obeying citizen. A stickler for discipline, he never hesitated to disobey his superior. A democrat au- tocrat ; an urbane savage ; an atro- cious saint, deified and vilified." In closing our account of Jackson's career, we do not propose adding to the load of censure piled upon him relative to his propensity to iudulge in duelling, blasphemy, licentious- ness. The record is complete enough without It, and we turn to his suc- cessor Mam in Van Buken. "Little Van," met with a storm on the threshhold of iiis administration. In 18.31 a newspaper was established in Boston by Win, Lloyd Garrison, for tho purpose of advocating Imme- diate emancipation. Tho legislature of Georgia offered $5,000 for the ab- duction and delivery in that State of the editor of that paper. A grand jury of Alabama proferred an ludict-me- ut against the "Emancipator," a paper published in New York, and the Governor of that State made a re quisition upon Gov. Murrey, of New York, for the delivery of tho publish- er, to be tried as an offender against the laws of Alabama regarding slave- ry. Gov. Murrey declined complying with tho mandate. A vigilance com- mute of Louisiana offered a reward of $50,000 for the delivery of Tappan, a conspicuous abolitionist of New York. A public meeting in Petersburg, Va., drafted a memorial to postmaster Ken-dell- , interdicting the transportation of anti-slave- ry papers through the TJ. S. mails. Kendall replied, regretting that he could not comply, but expres- sing tho belief that postmasters could decline shipping "incendiary docu- ments." At this time Van Buren was Vice President but dodged voting up- on questions bearing upon the outrag- eous propositions of the fire-eatin- g Southerners. Van Buren, however, was calculated on as an ally by each of the contending factious. For a time, however, this emttte was smoth- ered by the breaking out of what was denominated the "Patriot War," an incursion of "American Patriots" into Canada, to produce a reform in Cana- dian Government. Van Buren issued a proclamation warning American subjects from participating, but was accused of playing double and really favoring the success of the revolu tionists. Van Buren sought a but was met on every hand with op- position. His administration was held up before the people as a re- proach ; his extravagant expenditures of public money, and the loss sustain ed by the country through the default and irresponsibility of officers ap- pointed by him, were freely circulat- ed. Added to this was a pamphlet published by Wm. Lyon McKenzie, in which a large private correspon- dence was published, demonstrating the iusincerity of Van Buren and his "foxy" characteristics; his dodging the when presented to him by the slave oligarchy rendered the hie rarchy opposed to him, while the anti-slavGr- y people feared to trust him. In his endeavor, therefore, to sit on two stools he fell between both of them, and although he did not cease strug- gling for the Presidency after his re tirement, he never attained muoh importance even as a candidate. The English language was bank- rupted by the press and orators of the country in disparagement of "the used up man." and he fell a victim to the power and influence of criticism. While the South disowned him the North characterized him as "a North- ern man with Southern principles." A STOET FOR HUSBANDS. Andrew Lee came home from his shop, where he had worked hard all day, tired and out of spirits; came home to his wife who was also tired and out of spirits. "A smiling wife and a cheerful home a paradise it would be," said he to himself, as he turned his eyes from the clouded face of Mrs. Lee, and sat down with knitted brows and moody aspect. Not a word was spoken by either; Mrs. Lee was getting supper, and she moved about with a weary Btep. "Come," she said, at last, with a side glance at her husband. Andrew rose and went to the table. He was tempted to speak an angry word, but controlled himself and kept silent. He could find no fault with the chop, nor tho home-mad- e bread, nor the fragrant tea. They would have cheered his Inward man if there had been a gleam of sunshine on the face of his wife. Ho noticed that she did not eat. "Are you not well, Mary?" These were the words on his lips, but he did not utter them, for the face of his wife looked 6o repellant, that he feared an irritating reply. And so, in moodysileuce, tho twain sat together until Andrew had finish- ed his supper. As ho pushed his chair back his wife arose and commenced cleariug off' tho table. "This is purgatory!" said Leo to himself, walking the floor of their lit- tle breakfast room, with his bauds thrust into his trowsers pockets and his chin almost touching his breast. After removing and taking the things into the kitchen, Mrs. Lee spread a green cover over tho table, and placing a fresh-trimme- d lamp thereon, went out and shut the door after her, leaving her husband alone with unpleasant feelings. He took a long breath as she did so, paused in his walk, stood still for some momeuts and then drawing a paper from his pocket, sat down by the table, opened tho sheet nud commenced reading. Singularly enough, tho words upon which his eyes rested were "Praise your wife." They rather ten- ded to increase the disturbance of mind from which he was suffering. "I should like to find some occasion for praising mine." Howquickly his thoughts expressed that ed sentiment! But his eyes were on the paper before him, and ho read on : "Praise your wife, man, for pity's sake; give her a little encouragement. It won't hurt her." Andrew Leo raised his eyes from tho paper, and muttered, "O, yes, that's all very well praise Is oheap enough. But praise her for what? For being sullen, and making her home tho most disagreeable place in tho world ?" His eyes fell again to tho paper. "She has made your home comfort- able, your heart bright and shining, your food agreeable; for pity's sake tell her you thank her. She don't ex- pect it. It will make her eyes wider than they have been for ten years ; but it will do her good for all that, and you too." It seemed to Andrew as if this sen- tence was written expressly for him, and just for the occasion. It was a complete answer to his question, "Praise her for what?" and ho felt It also a rebuke. He read uo further, for thoughts came too busy, and in a new direction. Memory was convinc- ing him of injustices to his wife. She had always mado her home as com- fortable for him as she could make it. and had he offered the light return of praise or commendation.? Had he ev- er told her of the satisfaction he had known or the comfort ho had exper- ienced? He was not able to recall the time or occasion. As he thought thus Mrs. Lee came In from tho kitchen, and taking her work-ba&k- et from the closet placed it on the table, and sit- ting down without speaking, began to sew. Mr. Lee glanced almost steathily at the work in her hands, and saw that it was the bosom of a shirt which she was stichiug. He knew that it was for him Bhe was at work. "Praise your wife!" These were the words before the eyes of his mind, and he couldn't look away from them. But he was not ready for this yet. He still felt moody and unforgiving. The expression of his wife's face he interpreted to mean ill-natu- for which he had no patience. His eyes fell upon the newspaper that was ly- ing spread out before him, and he read the sentence, "A kind, cheerful word spoken ia a gloomy house Is the little rift in the cloud that lets the suushlne through." Lee struggled with himself awhile longer. His own ill-natu- re had to be conqured first ; his moody accusing spirit had to be subdued. Hethought of many things to say, and yet he feared to say them, lest his wife should meet his advances with a re buff. At last, leaning toward her and taking a hold upon the shirt-boso- at which she was at work, he said, in a voice that was carefully modulated with kindness : "You are doing your work beauti- fully, Mary." Mrs. Lee made no reply. But her husband did not fail to notice that she lost, almost instantly, the rigid earnestness with which she had been sewing, nor that the motion of her needle had ceased. "My shirts are better made and whiter than those of any other man in the shop," said he, encouraged to goon. "Are they ? Mrs. Lee's voioe was low and husky. She did not turn her face, but her husband saw that she leaned a little toward him. He had broken the ice of reserve, and all was now easy. His hand was among the olouds, and a feeble ray wa9 already struggling through the rift it had made. "Yes, Mary," he answered, softly; "and I've heard it more than onco what a good wife Andrew Lee must have." Mrs. Lee turned her face toward her husband. There was something light in her eye. But there was something in the expression of her countenance that puzzled him a little. 'Do you thinkso?" sheasked, quite soberly. "What a queer question !" ejaculat- ed Andrew Lee, starting up and go- ing round to the side of tho table where his wife was sitting. "What a queer question, Mary!" he repeated, us he stood before her. "Do you ?" was all she said. "Yes, darling!" was his warm-spoke- n answer, as ho stooped down and kissed her. "How strange that you should ask me such aquestion." "If you would tell me so now and then, Andrew, it would do me good." Mrs. Lee arose, and leaning her face against the manly breast of her hus- band, stood and wept. What a strong light broke on the mind of Andrew Lee! He had never given his wife even tho small reward of praise for the loving iuterest she had manifested daily, until doubt of his love had entered her soul, and madis the light around her thick with darkness. No wonder that her face grew clouded, or that what he con- sidered moodiness and ill nature, took possession of her spirit. "You are good and true, Mary, my own dear wife. I am proud of you, and my great desire is for your hap- piness. O, if I could always see your face in sunshine, my home would be the dearest place on earth." "How precious to me are your words of love aud praiso, Andrew," said Mrs. Lee, smiling up through her tears into his face. "With them in my ears, my heart can never lie in a shadow. How easy had been the work for Andrew Lee! He had swept his hand accross tho cloud' horizon, and now the bright sunshine was stream- ing' down and flooding that home with joy aud beauty. "Why don't Yon Respond 1 Old Judge W- - -- ,of -- , in the old Domion, is a character. He was frequently lawyer, legislator, judge and leading politician among the old time Whigs, of blessed memory; but, alas ! like them his glory has depart- ed, and, like many others of his con- freres, has "gone where the woodbine twineth." Notwithstanding tho loss of properly, and tho too free uso of "applejack," ho maintained the dig- nity of ex-judg- e, dressed neatly, car- ried a gold headed cane, and when he bad taken more than his usual allow- ance of his favorite bevorago, ho was very pious, at such times attending church, and sitting near the stand as erectly as circumstances would admit, and responding fervently. Oa one occasion a Baptist brother was holding forth, with energy and unction, on the evils of the times, and in oneof his flights, exclaimed, "show me a drunkard." The Judge rising to his feet and un- steadily balancing himself on his cane said very solemnly, "Here I am, sir, here lam!" The Elder, though a'good deal non- plussed by the unexpected response, managed to go on with his discourse, and soon warming to his work, again called out "Show me a hypocrite. Show me a hypocrite ! Show me a hypocrite!" Judge W again arose, and reaching forward across a seat which intervened, he touched deacon D- - on the shoulder with hls'cane, and said: "Deacon D., why don't you re- spond ? I did when they called me." What is it which has three feet and no legs, is all body but no limbs, has no toes on its feet, no head, moves a great deal, and never uses its feet for that purpose, has one foot at each end and the other in thecentre of its body? This is a queer creature in some re- spects, and is very popular among the ladies and some men. It never walks out, but goes with one foot where its head might be, dragging the other be- hind. These feet have nails but no toes, no heel and no bone in the foot. A yard measure. The new cattle distemper in Eng- land is called the "foot and mouth disease." The same thing ha pre- vailed in this country among states- men for years past. Its principal fea- ture, and that which gives It its name is that the victim can't open his mouth without putting his foot into It. The happiest moments In a woman's life are when she is making her wed- ding garments ; the saddest when her husband comes home late at night aud yells to her from the front steps to throw him out some key-hole- s, as- sorted sizes.

Heat, Dust and Peaches Business-Co- st of Coming to New York Crime Ralston, the Dead Banker-Polit-ics. Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser. New York, Sept. 13, 1875. HEAT, DUST AND PEACHES. Fervid heat and intolerable dust mark tho opening of September, and raise many a longing sigh as we read of the frosts and bracing weather In the Northwest. Water-cart- s peram- bulate the streets all day long, ice cream is the staple article of diet, and the baskets of spotted peaches left by tho glut In the market, raise but a feeling of satiety. The genius who would invent a way to get rid of peaches here this year would call forth the thanks of dealers. It is un- fortunate that they can't bo sent by balloon to tho desolate West, whose peach orchards bear uo longer. They would serve a doublo purpose bb bal- last and freight while the cool- ness of the upper atmosphere would preserve their freshness in high flavor. Peaches might be sent over uight from Now York to Chicago, and the prevailingodor of the markets and wharves considerably improved there- by. Venders hold very fair fruit at ten cents the half-pec- k, piled and running over, while the baskets are selling from fifty to' sixty cents. Peach ice cream is a popularjdelicacy, with the comforting persuasion that pure fruit is used for flavoring it. While speaking of the products of this part of the country, it maj' be mentioned that clamsare unusually fine this season, a faotwhioh rejoices the hearts of politicians mightly. BUSINESS. Were tho season as propitious in business as it is in nature, there woulld be nothing left to wish. But tho ghastly list of failures In each morning's papers makes business men look sick ; aud there Is a cleuoh-Ing- of bands and looking out for the worst that Is not healthy in tho chill and fever weather of Septemher. The only people who look at all at ease are the bankrupts. The worst is over now with them, nnd there remains the fresh start, sot off by the prospeot of hoarding carefully all profits'for yearsTto come, to pay In full the creditors who compounded for 50 cents on the dollar. Every day brings its regular list of failures. This week the' great book firm of Lee & Shepherd, Boston, went under, taking with it their New York house, liabilities, $600,000, as- sets not 3et known. But It Is to tho credit of our business men that they are doing everything in their power to raise the fallen firm and set it on its feet again. The publishers in Now York, who are tho principal creditors, say to them "Pay what you can and go on," which they will do. This is what honesty and Integrity is worth. Lee & Shepherd fail from no fault of their own, and they struggled despar- - ately for three years before they went down. They lost $225,000, In good hard earned money, In tho Boston fire, aud tho depression in business, and the shrinkage iu values, finally brought them to their knees. The thousands of people who have read Oliver Optic, and tho other authors they have brought out, will bo glad to know that they will probably resume in ten days. Such men cannot long be kept down. Friend Pitts, tho well-know- n Broadway ladies' furnishing goods man, went by the board Wed- nesday, and Thursday, Union Adams, the bettor-know- n mens furnisher, fol- lowed suit. These are the best known, but there are a dozen a day in the City. But despite this the business men feel a slight revival of their hopes. Whether it will last, remains to bo seen, but It is certain that there is an Increase in business for the last week. There area great many merchants in the city, and they are buying though not extensively. They peem to be "sorting up," rather than buying full stocks, but even that is bettor than nothing. The wheels are moving, if they do creak. But I do not believe that New York will ever again have the trade it once held. IT COSTS TOO MUCH to come to New York to do business ; and for a part of their loss of trade the merchants may charge tho hotels aud the parasites that hang about them. For instance, if a country merchant comes here, ho wants and ought to bring his wife. At any hotel he would care to stop at, the rate per day is $4.50 $9.00 for the two and as ho can't get a waiter to do anything decent for him without a fee, his daily expenses will mount up to quite $12 per day. If he wants to go to a theater, he is swindled out of $1.50 for each seat, and as for a hack to go to the Park, $S is the lowest and $10 aud $12 are com mon. In short, a ten day's stay would use up the but-en- d of $250, to eay nothing of the expenses of comiug and going. Everybody digs Into him, for they never expect to see him again. Of course they can't afford It, and of course they don't. They go to Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Tole- do, and the other big points in the in- terior, where $50 will go farher than $150 will here. The hotel and res- taurant keepers dont seem to realize 1 that the war is over, for they are charging war prices for eveything. Tomatoes ore not worth twenty-fiv- e cents a bushel in tho markets; but at a first-clas- s restaurant you are made to pay forty cents a plate for sliced to- matoes. Beef is as oheap as dirt, but nevertheless a decent steak at a res- taurant costs you from GO cents to $1.75, and the proprietors never blush. New York will never trade again till all these thiuga are reformed. CRIME. The records of the week read like one long list of horrors. Burglary, murder, and suicide follow each other so rapidly, that it needs strong nerves to read the dailies with tholr list of woo. Since New York abolished the system of Metropolitan Police, ap- pointed by a board ",con trolled by the State Legislature at Albany, too far off to bo influenced by small local in- terests, and put its safety Into tho bauds of low ward politicians, who control present police appointments, that safety is sot much better than that of ancient Sodom not wishing to speak harshly of those who have suffered their fate. I mentioned "a week ago, this iucldent: On a rainy evening not long since, a gentleman was walking down Lexington Ave- nue, one of tho quietest streets of the town, was set upon by two roughs, one of whom snatched his handsome watch and ohain worth five or six hundred dollars. The gentleman seized tho thief, nnd was gotting the better of him, when tho policeman of the beat came up to tho help of tho thelves, and began thumping him over ,the hoad with his club, till ho was forced to let go his hold of tho robber, who fled with his booty. Tho gentleman made his way down-tow- n and entered his club covered with blood, his head cut opon by the po- liceman's blows, a pretty picture for centre of civilization in the nineteenth century. When he went to the In- spector of polico for redress, he was called on to Identify the policeman ; but as on the night of the assault that worthy had been wrapped in Have-loc- k and waterproof, it was impossible to detect him and all the comfort the complainant had was a jeering laugh from the inspector, and tho brutal an- swer that he must have boon too drunk that night to tako caro of his own watch, aud lost it. Occurrences of this nature are ng alarmingly frequont. Tho polico nssert that tho increase of crime Is attributable to the number of men out of work, but they'llo when they soy so. Tho work done by foot-pa- ds and burglars shows tho work of skill ed men. The fact Is the police are In partnership with" tho thieves. None are caught. Tho burglars who killed Noo are still at large, and no cluo has been found to them ; and the same may be said of every case that has oc- curred. Tho Investigation now In progress, it Is hoped, will do some- thing toward remedying this perplex ed condition of things. No decent man feels safe at night In New York without his pistol or sword-can- o. Tho only hope of a better state of things Is to have the present grow worse, till honest oitizens are obliged, in self-defenc- e, to assert themselves, and take the rulo out of the hands of tho d, reckless class who have got hold of it. If good mon are too buy or too careless to look after publio in terests, there are plenty of worse ones who are glad to do so. The Death ofRalston, the San Francisco banker is not felt east as It is In the State where he was a leading power. When the news of the failure of the Bank of California and the terrible death of its President came to the city there was a flutter, but that was 'all. California docs her business direct with Europo and Asia, without the Intervention of New York, and failures there have but lit- tle effect here. A few houses having ing branches in San Francisco were hurt, and the Chinese residents of the city were touched, but nothing serious happened. Had such a failure occurred in St. Louis or Chicago, it would have shook things. Politics. John Morrissey has locked horns with Taramauy In dead earnest, aud there is going to boa struggle. The prize-fight- er and gambler heads ono faction of tho Democracy in this city, and a much worse man beads the other. They hate each other so cor- dially that I don't believe It possible for them to get together at all ; and if the respectability of the city had sense enough to take advantage of the situ- ation, they might capture It and got decent government once more. But they won'tdoit. They have thoirgoods to sell, nud Saratoga to visit, and pri- mary meetings are annoying things to manage; and so they will stick to to their merchandise and let the thieves govern them. At least this is what thoi always have done, and I see no indications of a change for the better. Possibly the condition of the city may spur them to action, but I rather think it is not quite bad enough yet. Nothing less than a Tweed can make it hot enough for them. Pietro. "Never mind, sonny. The rain makes boys grow," remarked a Mas- sachusetts tramp the other day, when he took a silk umbrella from a lad in the midst of a rain storm. "Have animals a sense tf humor" asks an owlish exchange. Certainly they have. You'll always find that jackasses are ready to laugh immod- erately at the poorest jokes. HANGMAN'S DAY. Six Men Hnng on One Scaffold All Meet their Fate with Stoical In- difference Some of them plead Innoconce A Missou rlan who has killed more than lie lias time to men- tion. Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 3. A dispatch by courier from Fort Smith to the Atlas, forty miles distant from tho nearest telegraph station, states that the hanging of six men at that place to-da- y passed off quietly. Tho condemned men wero brought out at half-pa- st nine o'clock and ascended the scaffold at ten. All showed nerve and refueed to make any confession. Moore said he was a game man aud would die game. Fooy said he was as anxious to go ns the spectators wore to eee him go. Wbittlngtou said noth ing. Evans also ald nothing. Camp- bell and MarkiUor Bald they'were in- nocent. Tho six men-wer- e sentenced at the last term of tho Federal Court. There were eight sentenced at thesame time : one was killed afterwards while attempting to escape, aud the sentence of the other was commuted to impris- onment for life. Tho namoB of those who wore hung wero Jas. H. Moore, white; Daniel H. Evans, white; Sain W. Fooy, quarter Cherokee ; Smoker the Mankiller, a full-blood- ed Chero- kee; Edward Campbell, colored , Jno. Whittington, white. The gallows wasoroctod inside the walls of theold fort, the platform being fourteen by fifteen feet. Smoker, the Mankiller, the fuH blood, was but eighteen years old; ho had a wifo and ohlld. On the first of September, 1874, he murdered ajwhlte man named Wm. Short. Ho stoutly asserted his Innocence In a written statement. Ho charged the witness who testified against him with por-jur- y. Ho had very black hair, was stoutly built, low forohead and "stared his fate in tho face" with tho usual lndlfference'of tho Indian. James H. Moore wos twent3-seve- n yoars old, tall and flno-lookln- g, hold and daring. He was n native of John- ston county, Mo., but removed to Texa3 when a child, whore ho grew up on the frontier as a murderer, high- wayman and horse-thie- f. When cap- tured aml'sentenced to be hung, he boasted that ho had killed eight white men, "and Indians aud negroes too numerous to mention. He olaimed to be the best shot In tho west. Ho had a wife and onejehild living in Toxas. As a desperado and outlaw ho was tho bost representative In the lot. Samuel" W. Fooy, quarter blood Cherokee,fwa3 a native of Ft. Smith, twenty-oigh- t years old, well educated married and had three children. His family resided near Webber's Falls. In July, 1S72, he murdered a young man named Neff for three hundred dollars. Ho confessed tho crime. Daniel II. Evans was a haudsome young man of twenty years, a native of Tennessee. He had respectable connections in Missouri, Tennessee and Texas. Ho murdered a man named Seaboltln November last, near Enfaula, Creek Nation. He admitted that ho had associated with outlaws, and, in connection with two others, robbed a wealthy man in tho Creek Nation of $32,000. $25,000 of which he says is burled In Basque county, Tex- as. He saj-- a he stuck a pine knot in his victim's flesh and set it on fire to compel him to tell where his money was. When he was sentenced he smilingly rose and thanked the court for the courtesy shown him. Whittington was;a nntive of Geor- gia, Taylor county ; was thirty years old and had three children ; he mur- dered a man named John J. Turner, in February last, In the Chickasaw na- tion ; the son of Turner appeared about the time of murder and captur- ed him; bodied penitent and resigned. Campbell, the colored boy, was aged twenty, and a native of the Choctaw nation ; he, in connection with two others, killed LawaonRoss and Maria MoKinney on the 13th of February, 1875. Some trouble arose between tho parties at a prayer meeting, when the three went to the house of Roas and the woman and shot them. All six of these parties were launch- ed into eternity at the same time. Marshal Fugan and his deputies su- perintended tho execution. The gal- lows was erected close up and in front of the old building. Just over the trap was a strong rope, aud the beam was framed on postB aud firmly braced. The six men wero placed In line, standing side by side. A North'CarolIna editor will dress his paper in mourning for $10 if any one dies, aud his liberal terms have endeared him to the heart of a whole county. A Boston murderer, in consequence of his poor health, wants his execu- tion delayed. A little girl of four or five 3'ears asked her mother ono day if she had not seen Col. Porter. "No, my child," was the replj, "ho died before 3ou were born.'' "Well, but, mamma," she insisted, "if he went up before I came down, we must have met'.' m ''V '11 V4 "1 'V n

OUE WASHINGTON LETTEK.

Notes on tlic'IPresidents How Theyhave been Traduced and

Maligned.

Jno. 0. Adams Andrew JacksonMartin I Van Buren.

Washington, D. C' Sept. 8th, '75.

Jno. Quincy Adams.Tho olectionjiof Jno. Quincy Adams

wua attributed by some to tho treach-ery of Henri' Clay, while others saidit was owing to tho fact that Craw-lor- d

his formidable opponent, wasrighteously though regretfully defeat-ed owing to the fact that his healthnnd mind had grown feeble, thus in-

capacitating him to hold the reins ofgovernment. Certain it is, however,that Adams' election was, at best, anaccident, and this fact encourageduud provided ground-wor- k for viciousattacks upon him as a man and ollioi-si- l.

Ho was careful in organizing hisCabinet, and did form an able one,with Clay as his Secretary of State;but this did not secure him immunityfrom violent opposition, though pro-

bably no President ever dreaded andfeared opposition more than he. Thefact of his soliciting Clay as his Sec-

retary of State, gave color to thecharge of his bargaining with Clay,and his enemies made the most of it.A strong effort, nearly successful, waBmade to withdraw from the Executivethe distribution of official patronage,and every measure resorted to calcu-lated to lower the President in the es-

timation of Congress and the people.But Charles Francis Adams has late-ly written a work entitled Memoirs ofJohn Quincy Adams, which fully es-

tablishes the fact that in his day thepress teemed with invective againstthat dignitary, and that in 1S25-2- 9, vi-

tuperation was largely indulged in byeditors and speakers opposed to theadministration. Charles Adams quotesJohn Quincy : "No man in Americahas made his way through showersofribaldry and Invective of this charac-ter more frequently than I havebreasted It."

To cap tho whole wo have Indubita-ble proof that John Quincy Adamsretired as did John Adams, sick atheart and sorely distressed, conse-quent upon tho criticisms which hadfallen upon him during his term ofofiice. In modoru parlance "hecouldn't stand grief.'

Andrew Jackson.As stated in our resume of President

Monroe's rule, Gon. Jackson wrotehim suggesting and urging that poli-

tics should not be permitted to enterinto the distribution of tho oflices,yet when Jackson succeeded to powerhe outrivaled all his predecessors indecapitating the official heads of thosewho had been provided for by Presi-dents, from Washington down, andproviding for hisown political friends.During Washington's term of officethere were 7ii?ie removals; of theseone was a defaulter. In John Adamsadministration of four years, therewere ten removals ; one of these wasa defaulter. In Jefferson's of eightyears there were thirty-nin- e removals.In James Madison's of eight years,there were five removals, of whichthree were defaulters. In JamesMonroe's, of eight years, there wereit"c removals, of which six were for

cause. In J. Q. Adam's, of fouryears, there were two removals, bothfor cause. Total removals by the sixPresidents, seventy-fou- r. Tho num-

ber of appointments made by Gen.Jackson during the first recess of theSenate was one hundred and seventy-six- ,

principally of political opponents.Of course this wholesale decapita-

tion of officials caused considerableIrritation, which was augmeuted byJackson's extensive disposal of exec-

utive patronage of members of Con-

gress. Jno. Q. Adams was called up-

on for a report as to precedents in thismatter, which brought out that underWashington ten were appointed ; un-

der Jno. Adams, thirteen Jefferson,twenty-fiv- e; Madison, twenty-nin- e;

Monroe, thirty-fiv- e; Jno. Q. Adams,five. During Jackson's first threemouths he appointed twelve.

Then Jackson iDvited criticism byhis Inconsistencies. When he hadrupture with Calhoun, a letter writtenby Gen. Jaokson to Gen. Hayne waspublished in which the writer en-

dorsed Hayne's speech on Foot's reso

lution. The resolution of Poote's re-

lated simply to publio lands, but thedebate thereon branched outward,embracing tho fundamental princi-

ples of the Government. Hayne as-

serted that nullification was a powerinherent in a State, which she was

privileged to exercise irrespective of

the pleasure or will of the general

government. Jackson, with his ownsign manuel, wrote Hayne declaringthat ho had promulgated the trueprinciplesof our Government and thathe would have his speech printed onsatin and hung up in his obamber.

To show how the press belaboredJackson we quote from the RichmondEnquirer, edited by Ritchie, on thereceipt of the news of the General'saction in executing tho prisoners al-

luded to in our sketch of the Presi-dential days of Monroe: "Thus hasan American officer destroyed thelives of two of his fellow courtiers,without any rightful power, withoutany adequate motive, arid with suchindecent precipitancy as hardly togive time for prayers in the intervalbetween judgment end death. Hu-manity blushes at the reoltal, and na-

tional pride sinks in the'iAmericanheart, oppressed with the load ofebamo and grief. He has abrogatedthe known laws of nature, and pro-

mulgated a new code of his own, con-

ceived in madness or folly and writtenin blood. He has, in fine, violated alllaws, human and divine, and violatedthem with impunity."

Jaokson is the only President fromWashington down to Grant, who hasever been violently assailed on thefloors of Congress. His political andmoral oharacterwere there canvassed,and in lauguago more forcible thanchaste.

Parton In his,biography of Jacksonsays: If he were asked what kind ofa man Jackson was from what he eli-

cited from inquiry, he would suy thathe found him to bo "a patriot and atraitor. Ono of the greatest Generals,and wholly ignorant of the art of war.A writer, brilliant, elegant, eloquent,without being able to compose a cor-

rect sentence," or spell" a word of foursyllables. The first of statesmen, henever devised, he never framed ameasure. He was the most candid ofmen, and was capable of the profound-es- t

dissimulation. A most law-defyin- g,

law obeying citizen. A sticklerfor discipline, he never hesitated todisobey his superior. A democrat au-

tocrat ; an urbane savage ; an atro-

cious saint, deified and vilified."In closing our account of Jackson's

career, we do not propose adding tothe load of censure piled upon himrelative to his propensity to iudulgein duelling, blasphemy, licentious-ness. The record is complete enoughwithout It, and we turn to his suc-

cessorMam in Van Buken.

"Little Van," met with a storm onthe threshhold of iiis administration.In 18.31 a newspaper was establishedin Boston by Win, Lloyd Garrison,for tho purpose of advocating Imme-diate emancipation. Tho legislatureof Georgia offered $5,000 for the ab-

duction and delivery in that State ofthe editor of that paper. A grandjury of Alabama proferred an ludict-me- ut

against the "Emancipator," apaper published in New York, andthe Governor of that State made a requisition upon Gov. Murrey, of NewYork, for the delivery of tho publish-er, to be tried as an offender againstthe laws of Alabama regarding slave-ry. Gov. Murrey declined complyingwith tho mandate. A vigilance com-

mute of Louisiana offered a reward of$50,000 for the delivery of Tappan, aconspicuous abolitionist of New York.A public meeting in Petersburg, Va.,drafted a memorial to postmaster Ken-dell- ,

interdicting the transportationof anti-slave- ry papers through the TJ.

S. mails. Kendall replied, regrettingthat he could not comply, but expres-sing tho belief that postmasters coulddecline shipping "incendiary docu-ments." At this time Van Buren wasVice President but dodged voting up-

on questions bearing upon the outrag-eous propositions of the fire-eatin- g

Southerners. Van Buren, however,was calculated on as an ally by eachof the contending factious. For atime, however, this emttte was smoth-ered by the breaking out of what wasdenominated the "Patriot War," anincursion of "American Patriots" intoCanada, to produce a reform in Cana-dian Government. Van Buren issueda proclamation warning Americansubjects from participating, but wasaccused of playing double and reallyfavoring the success of the revolutionists.

Van Buren sought abut was met on every hand with op-

position. His administration washeld up before the people as a re-

proach ; his extravagant expendituresof public money, and the loss sustained by the country through the defaultand irresponsibility of officers ap-

pointed by him, were freely circulat-ed. Added to this was a pamphletpublished by Wm. Lyon McKenzie,in which a large private correspon-dence was published, demonstratingthe iusincerity of Van Buren and his"foxy" characteristics; his dodgingthe when presented to him bythe slave oligarchy rendered the hierarchy opposed to him, while the anti-slavGr- y

people feared to trust him. Inhis endeavor, therefore, to sit on twostools he fell between both of them,and although he did not cease strug-gling for the Presidency after his retirement, he never attained muohimportance even as a candidate.

The English language was bank-rupted by the press and orators of thecountry in disparagement of "theused up man." and he fell a victim tothe power and influence of criticism.While the South disowned him theNorth characterized him as "a North-ern man with Southern principles."

A STOET FOR HUSBANDS.

Andrew Lee came home from hisshop, where he had worked hard allday, tired and out of spirits; camehome to his wife who was also tiredand out of spirits.

"A smiling wife and a cheerfulhome a paradise it would be," saidhe to himself, as he turned his eyesfrom the clouded face of Mrs. Lee,and sat down with knitted brows andmoody aspect.

Not a word was spoken by either;Mrs. Lee was getting supper, and shemoved about with a weary Btep.

"Come," she said, at last, with aside glance at her husband.

Andrew rose and went to the table.He was tempted to speak an angryword, but controlled himself and keptsilent. He could find no fault withthe chop, nor tho home-mad- e bread,nor the fragrant tea. They wouldhave cheered his Inward man if therehad been a gleam of sunshine on theface of his wife. Ho noticed that shedid not eat.

"Are you not well, Mary?"These were the words on his lips,

but he did not utter them, for the faceof his wife looked 6o repellant, thathe feared an irritating reply.

And so, in moodysileuce, tho twainsat together until Andrew had finish-ed his supper.

As ho pushed his chair back hiswife arose and commenced cleariugoff' tho table.

"This is purgatory!" said Leo tohimself, walking the floor of their lit-

tle breakfast room, with his baudsthrust into his trowsers pockets andhis chin almost touching his breast.

After removing and taking thethings into the kitchen, Mrs. Leespread a green cover over tho table,and placing a fresh-trimme- d lampthereon, went out and shut the doorafter her, leaving her husband alonewith unpleasant feelings. He took along breath as she did so, paused inhis walk, stood still for some momeutsand then drawing a paper from hispocket, sat down by the table, openedtho sheet nud commenced reading.Singularly enough, tho wordsupon which his eyes rested were"Praise your wife." They rather ten-

ded to increase the disturbance ofmind from which he was suffering.

"I should like to find some occasionfor praising mine." Howquickly histhoughts expressed that ed

sentiment! But his eyes were on thepaper before him, and ho read on :

"Praise your wife, man, for pity'ssake; give her a little encouragement.It won't hurt her."

Andrew Leo raised his eyes from thopaper, and muttered, "O, yes, that'sall very well praise Is oheap enough.But praise her for what? For beingsullen, and making her home thomost disagreeable place in tho world ?"His eyes fell again to tho paper.

"She has made your home comfort-able, your heart bright and shining,your food agreeable; for pity's saketell her you thank her. She don't ex-

pect it. It will make her eyes widerthan they have been for ten years ;

but it will do her good for all that, andyou too."

It seemed to Andrew as if this sen-

tence was written expressly for him,and just for the occasion. It was acomplete answer to his question,"Praise her for what?" and ho felt Italso a rebuke. He read uo further,for thoughts came too busy, and in anew direction. Memory was convinc-ing him of injustices to his wife. Shehad always mado her home as com-

fortable for him as she could make it.and had he offered the light return ofpraise or commendation.? Had he ev-er told her of the satisfaction he hadknown or the comfort ho had exper-ienced? He was not able to recall thetime or occasion. As he thought thusMrs. Lee came In from tho kitchen,and taking her work-ba&k- et from thecloset placed it on the table, and sit-ting down without speaking, beganto sew. Mr. Lee glanced almoststeathily at the work in her hands,and saw that it was the bosom of ashirt which she was stichiug. Heknew that it was for him Bhe was atwork.

"Praise your wife!" These werethe words before the eyes of his mind,and he couldn't look away from them.But he was not ready for this yet.He still felt moody and unforgiving.The expression of his wife's face heinterpreted to mean ill-natu- forwhich he had no patience. His eyesfell upon the newspaper that was ly-

ing spread out before him, and he readthe sentence, "A kind, cheerful wordspoken ia a gloomy house Is the littlerift in the cloud that lets the suushlnethrough."

Lee struggled with himself awhilelonger. His own ill-natu- re had to beconqured first ; his moody accusingspirit had to be subdued. Hethoughtof many things to say, and yet hefeared to say them, lest his wifeshould meet his advances with a rebuff. At last, leaning toward her andtaking a hold upon the shirt-boso-

at which she was at work, he said, ina voice that was carefully modulatedwith kindness :

"You are doing your work beauti-fully, Mary."

Mrs. Lee made no reply. But herhusband did not fail to notice thatshe lost, almost instantly, the rigidearnestness with which she had beensewing, nor that the motion of herneedle had ceased.

"My shirts are better made andwhiter than those of any other manin the shop," said he, encouraged togoon.

"Are they ?Mrs. Lee's voioe was low and husky.

She did not turn her face, buther husband saw that she leaned alittle toward him. He had brokenthe ice of reserve, and all was noweasy. His hand was among theolouds, and a feeble ray wa9 alreadystruggling through the rift it hadmade.

"Yes, Mary," he answered, softly;"and I've heard it more than oncowhat a good wife Andrew Lee musthave."

Mrs. Lee turned her face toward herhusband. There was something lightin her eye. But there was somethingin the expression of her countenancethat puzzled him a little.

'Do you thinkso?" sheasked, quitesoberly.

"What a queer question !" ejaculat-ed Andrew Lee, starting up and go-

ing round to the side of tho tablewhere his wife was sitting. "What aqueer question, Mary!" he repeated,us he stood before her.

"Do you ?" was all she said."Yes, darling!" was his warm-spoke- n

answer, as ho stooped downand kissed her. "How strange thatyou should ask me such aquestion."

"If you would tell me so now andthen, Andrew, it would do me good."Mrs. Lee arose, and leaning her faceagainst the manly breast of her hus-band, stood and wept.

What a strong light broke on themind of Andrew Lee! He had nevergiven his wife even tho small rewardof praise for the loving iuterest shehad manifested daily, until doubt ofhis love had entered her soul, andmadis the light around her thick withdarkness. No wonder that her facegrew clouded, or that what he con-

sidered moodiness and ill nature, tookpossession of her spirit.

"You are good and true, Mary, myown dear wife. I am proud of you,and my great desire is for your hap-piness. O, if I could always see yourface in sunshine, my home would bethe dearest place on earth."

"How precious to me are yourwords of love aud praiso, Andrew,"said Mrs. Lee, smiling up throughher tears into his face. "With themin my ears, my heart can never lie ina shadow.

How easy had been the work forAndrew Lee! He had swept hishand accross tho cloud' horizon, andnow the bright sunshine was stream-ing' down and flooding that homewith joy aud beauty.

"Why don't Yon Respond 1

Old Judge W- - -- ,of -- , in theold Domion, is a character. He wasfrequently lawyer, legislator, judgeand leading politician among the oldtime Whigs, of blessed memory; but,alas ! like them his glory has depart-ed, and, like many others of his con-

freres, has "gone where the woodbinetwineth." Notwithstanding tho lossof properly, and tho too free uso of"applejack," ho maintained the dig-

nity of ex-judg- e, dressed neatly, car-

ried a gold headed cane, and when hebad taken more than his usual allow-

ance of his favorite bevorago, ho wasvery pious, at such times attendingchurch, and sitting near the stand aserectly as circumstances would admit,and responding fervently.

Oa one occasion a Baptist brotherwas holding forth, with energy andunction, on the evils of the times, andin oneof his flights, exclaimed, "showme a drunkard."

The Judge rising to his feet and un-

steadily balancing himself on his canesaid very solemnly, "Here I am, sir,here lam!"

The Elder, though a'good deal non-

plussed by the unexpected response,managed to go on with his discourse,and soon warming to his work, againcalled out "Show me a hypocrite.Show me a hypocrite ! Show me ahypocrite!"

Judge W again arose, andreaching forward across a seat whichintervened, he touched deacon D- -

on the shoulder with hls'cane, andsaid: "Deacon D., why don't you re-

spond ? I did when they called me."

What is it which has three feet andno legs, is all body but no limbs, hasno toes on its feet, no head, moves agreat deal, and never uses its feet forthat purpose, has one foot at each endand the other in thecentre of its body?This is a queer creature in some re-

spects, and is very popular among theladies and some men. It never walksout, but goes with one foot where itshead might be, dragging the other be-

hind. These feet have nails but notoes, no heel and no bone in the foot.

OUR XEW YORK LETTER.

Heat, Dust and Peaches Business-Co- st

of Coming to New YorkCrime Ralston, the

Dead Banker-Polit-ics.

Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser.

New York, Sept. 13, 1875.

HEAT, DUST AND PEACHES.

Fervid heat and intolerable dustmark tho opening of September, andraise many a longing sigh as we readof the frosts and bracing weather Inthe Northwest. Water-cart- s peram-bulate the streets all day long, icecream is the staple article of diet, andthe baskets of spotted peaches leftby tho glut In the market, raise but afeeling of satiety. The genius whowould invent a way to get rid ofpeaches here this year would callforth the thanks of dealers. It is un-

fortunate that they can't bo sent byballoon to tho desolate West, whosepeach orchards bear uo longer. Theywould serve a doublo purpose bb bal-

last and freight while the cool-

ness of the upper atmospherewould preserve their freshness in highflavor. Peaches might be sent overuight from Now York to Chicago, andthe prevailingodor of the markets andwharves considerably improved there-by. Venders hold very fair fruit atten cents the half-pec- k, piled andrunning over, while the baskets areselling from fifty to' sixty cents.Peach ice cream is a popularjdelicacy,with the comforting persuasion thatpure fruit is used for flavoring it.While speaking of the products ofthis part of the country, it maj' bementioned that clamsare unusuallyfine this season, a faotwhioh rejoicesthe hearts of politicians mightly.

BUSINESS.

Were tho season as propitiousin business as it is in nature, therewoulld be nothing left to wish. Buttho ghastly list of failures In eachmorning's papers makes businessmen look sick ; aud there Is a cleuoh-Ing- of

bands and looking out for theworst that Is not healthy in tho chilland fever weather of Septemher.The only people who look at all atease are the bankrupts. The worstis over now with them, nndthere remains the fresh start, sot offby the prospeot of hoarding carefullyall profits'for yearsTto come, to pay Infull the creditors who compoundedfor 50 cents on the dollar.

Every day brings its regular list offailures. This week the' great bookfirm of Lee & Shepherd, Boston,went under, taking with it their NewYork house, liabilities, $600,000, as-

sets not 3et known. But It Is to thocredit of our business men that theyare doing everything in their powerto raise the fallen firm and set it onits feet again. The publishers in NowYork, who are tho principal creditors,say to them "Pay what you can andgo on," which they will do. This iswhat honesty and Integrity is worth.Lee & Shepherd fail from no fault oftheir own, and they struggled despar--

ately for three years before they wentdown. They lost $225,000, In goodhard earned money, In tho Bostonfire, aud tho depression in business,and the shrinkage iu values, finallybrought them to their knees. Thethousands of people who have readOliver Optic, and tho other authorsthey have brought out, will bo glad toknow that they will probably resumein ten days. Such men cannot longbe kept down. Friend Pitts, tho well-know- n

Broadway ladies' furnishinggoods man, went by the board Wed-nesday, and Thursday, Union Adams,the bettor-know- n mens furnisher, fol-

lowed suit. These are the best known,but there are a dozen a day in theCity.

But despite this the business menfeel a slight revival of their hopes.Whether it will last, remains to boseen, but It is certain that there is anIncrease in business for the last week.There area great many merchants inthe city, and they are buying thoughnot extensively. They peem to be"sorting up," rather than buying fullstocks, but even that is bettor thannothing. The wheels are moving, ifthey do creak.

But I do not believe that New Yorkwill ever again have the trade it onceheld.

IT COSTS TOO MUCH

to come to New York to do business ;

and for a part of their loss of trade themerchants may charge tho hotels audthe parasites that hang about them.For instance, if a country merchantcomes here, ho wants and ought tobring his wife. At any hotel he wouldcare to stop at, the rate per day is $4.50

$9.00 for the two and as ho can'tget a waiter to do anything decent forhim without a fee, his daily expenseswill mount up to quite $12 per day.If he wants to go to a theater, he isswindled out of $1.50 for each seat,and as for a hack to go to the Park, $S

is the lowest and $10 aud $12 are common. In short, a ten day's stay woulduse up the but-en- d of $250, to eaynothing of the expenses of comiugand going. Everybody digs Intohim, for they never expect to see himagain.

Of course they can't afford It, andof course they don't. They go toChicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Tole-do, and the other big points in the in-

terior, where $50 will go farher than$150 will here. The hotel and res-

taurant keepers dont seem to realize1 that the war is over, for they are

charging war prices for eveything.Tomatoes ore not worth twenty-fiv- e

cents a bushel in tho markets; but ata first-clas- s restaurant you are madeto pay forty cents a plate for sliced to-

matoes. Beef is as oheap as dirt, butnevertheless a decent steak at a res-

taurant costs you from GO cents to $1.75,and the proprietors never blush. NewYork will never trade again till allthese thiuga are reformed.

CRIME.

The records of the week read likeone long list of horrors. Burglary,murder, and suicide follow each otherso rapidly, that it needs strong nervesto read the dailies with tholr list ofwoo. Since New York abolished thesystem of Metropolitan Police, ap-

pointed by a board ",con trolled by theState Legislature at Albany, too faroff to bo influenced by small local in-

terests, and put its safety Into thobauds of low ward politicians, whocontrol present police appointments,that safety is sot much better thanthat of ancient Sodom not wishingto speak harshly of those who havesuffered their fate. I mentioned "aweek ago, this iucldent: On a rainyevening not long since, a gentlemanwas walking down Lexington Ave-nue, one of tho quietest streets of thetown, was set upon by two roughs,one of whom snatched his handsomewatch and ohain worth five or sixhundred dollars. The gentlemanseized tho thief, nnd was gotting thebetter of him, when tho policeman ofthe beat came up to tho help of thothelves, and began thumping himover ,the hoad with his club, till howas forced to let go his hold of thorobber, who fled with his booty. Thogentleman made his way down-tow- n

and entered his club covered withblood, his head cut opon by the po-

liceman's blows, a pretty picture forcentre of civilization in the nineteenthcentury. When he went to the In-

spector of polico for redress, he wascalled on to Identify the policeman ;

but as on the night of the assault thatworthy had been wrapped in Have-loc- k

and waterproof, it was impossibleto detect him and all the comfort thecomplainant had was a jeering laughfrom the inspector, and tho brutal an-

swer that he must have boon toodrunk that night to tako caro of hisown watch, aud lost it.

Occurrences of this nature are ng

alarmingly frequont. Thopolico nssert that tho increase of crimeIs attributable to the number of menout of work, but they'llo when theysoy so. Tho work done by foot-pa- ds

and burglars shows tho work of skilled men. The fact Is the police are Inpartnership with" tho thieves. Noneare caught. Tho burglars who killedNoo are still at large, and no cluo hasbeen found to them ; and the samemay be said of every case that has oc-

curred. Tho Investigation now Inprogress, it Is hoped, will do some-thing toward remedying this perplexed condition of things. No decentman feels safe at night In New Yorkwithout his pistol or sword-can- o. Thoonly hope of a better state of things Isto have the present grow worse, tillhonest oitizens are obliged, in self-defenc- e,

to assert themselves, and takethe rulo out of the hands of tho d,

reckless class who have gothold of it. If good mon are too buyor too careless to look after publio interests, there are plenty of worse oneswho are glad to do so.

The Death ofRalston,the San Francisco banker is not felteast as It is In the State where he wasa leading power. When the news ofthe failure of the Bank of Californiaand the terrible death of its Presidentcame to the city there was a flutter,but that was 'all. California docs herbusiness direct with Europo and Asia,without the Intervention of NewYork, and failures there have but lit-

tle effect here. A few houses havinging branches in San Francisco werehurt, and the Chinese residents of thecity were touched, but nothing serioushappened. Had such a failure occurredin St. Louis or Chicago, it would haveshook things.

Politics.John Morrissey has locked horns

with Taramauy In dead earnest, audthere is going to boa struggle. Theprize-fight- er and gambler heads onofaction of tho Democracy in this city,and a much worse man beads theother. They hate each other so cor-

dially that I don't believe It possiblefor them to get together at all ; and ifthe respectability of the city had senseenough to take advantage of the situ-ation, they might capture It and gotdecent government once more. Butthey won'tdoit. They have thoirgoodsto sell, nud Saratoga to visit, and pri-

mary meetings are annoying thingsto manage; and so they will stick toto their merchandise and let thethieves govern them. At least thisis what thoi always have done, and Isee no indications of a change for thebetter. Possibly the condition of thecity may spur them to action, but Irather think it is not quite bad enoughyet. Nothing less than a Tweed canmake it hot enough for them.

"Never mind, sonny. The rainmakes boys grow," remarked a Mas-

sachusetts tramp the other day, whenhe took a silk umbrella from a lad inthe midst of a rain storm.

"Have animals a sense tf humor"asks an owlish exchange. Certainlythey have. You'll always find thatjackasses are ready to laugh immod-erately at the poorest jokes.

Adispatch by courier from Fort Smithto the Atlas, forty miles distant fromtho nearest telegraph station, statesthat the hanging of six men at thatplace to-da- y passed off quietly. Thocondemned men wero brought out athalf-pa- st nine o'clock and ascendedthe scaffold at ten. All showed nerveand refueed to make any confession.Moore said he was a game man audwould die game. Fooy said he was asanxious to go ns the spectators wore toeee him go. Wbittlngtou said nothing. Evans also ald nothing. Camp-bell and MarkiUor Bald they'were in-

last term of tho Federal Court. Therewere eight sentenced at thesametime : one was killed afterwards whileattempting to escape, aud the sentenceof the other was commuted to impris-onment for life. Tho namoB of thosewho wore hung wero Jas. H. Moore,white; Daniel H. Evans, white; SainW. Fooy, quarter Cherokee ; Smokerthe Mankiller, a full-blood- ed Chero-kee; Edward Campbell, colored , Jno.Whittington, white. The gallowswasoroctod inside the walls of theoldfort, the platform being fourteen byfifteen feet.

Smoker, the Mankiller, the fuHblood, was but eighteen years old; hohad a wifo and ohlld. On the first ofSeptember, 1874, he murdered ajwhlteman named Wm. Short. Ho stoutlyasserted his Innocence In a writtenstatement. Ho charged the witnesswho testified against him with por-jur-y.

Ho had very black hair, wasstoutly built, low forohead and "staredhis fate in tho face" with tho usuallndlfference'of tho Indian.

James H. Moore wos twent3-seve- n

yoars old, tall and flno-lookln- g, holdand daring. He was n native of John-ston county, Mo., but removed toTexa3 when a child, whore ho grewup on the frontier as a murderer, high-wayman and horse-thie- f. When cap-tured aml'sentenced to be hung, heboasted that ho had killed eight whitemen, "and Indians aud negroes toonumerous to mention. He olaimed tobe the best shot In tho west. Ho hada wife and onejehild living in Toxas.As a desperado and outlaw ho was thobost representative In the lot.

Samuel" W. Fooy, quarter bloodCherokee,fwa3 a native of Ft. Smith,twenty-oigh- t years old, well educatedmarried and had three children. Hisfamily resided near Webber's Falls.In July, 1S72, he murdered a youngman named Neff for three hundreddollars. Ho confessed tho crime.

Daniel II. Evans was a haudsomeyoung man of twenty years, a nativeof Tennessee. He had respectableconnections in Missouri, Tennesseeand Texas. Ho murdered a mannamed Seaboltln November last, nearEnfaula, Creek Nation. He admittedthat ho had associated with outlaws,and, in connection with two others,robbed a wealthy man in tho CreekNation of $32,000. $25,000 of which hesays is burled In Basque county, Tex-as. He saj--a he stuck a pine knot inhis victim's flesh and set it on fire tocompel him to tell where his moneywas. When he was sentenced hesmilingly rose and thanked the courtfor the courtesy shown him.

Whittington was;a nntive of Geor-gia, Taylor county ; was thirty yearsold and had three children ; he mur-dered a man named John J. Turner,in February last, In the Chickasaw na-tion ; the son of Turner appearedabout the time of murder and captur-ed him; bodied penitent and resigned.

Campbell, the colored boy, was agedtwenty, and a native of the Choctawnation ; he, in connection with twoothers, killed LawaonRoss and MariaMoKinney on the 13th of February,1875. Some trouble arose between thoparties at a prayer meeting, when thethree went to the house of Roas andthe woman and shot them.

All six of these parties were launch-ed into eternity at the same time.Marshal Fugan and his deputies su-

perintended tho execution. The gal-lows was erected close up and in frontof the old building. Just over thetrap was a strong rope, aud the beamwas framed on postB aud firmly braced.The six men wero placed In line,standing side by side.

A North'CarolIna editor will dresshis paper in mourning for $10 if anyone dies, aud his liberal terms haveendeared him to the heart of a wholecounty.

A Boston murderer, in consequenceof his poor health, wants his execu-tion delayed.

A little girl of four or five 3'earsasked her mother ono day if she hadnot seen Col. Porter.

"No, my child," was the replj, "hodied before 3ou were born.''

"Well, but, mamma," she insisted,"if he went up before I came down,we must have met'.'
