Show j WASTED SYJUl-ATUV. Fifty-two women of Atchison havo join.d in a letter to Pomeroy expressing express-ing their belief in his innocence, and their sympathy for him in his previous I atlliction. This epistolary condolence j has carried much comfort to the bleeding bleed-ing bosom of the persecuted saint of Kansas, and he is thereby strengthened in the opinion that "whom the Lord loveth He ohastenth." While admiriDg the enthusiastic affection of the Atchison females, we may venture to suggest that they might be eugaged in mach better busiuess than laying a poultice upon the lacerated lacer-ated back of a man who has received no more stri pes from the lash of public opinion than he deserves. Making tiannel night-gowns for the residents of Central Africa is a sensible occupation compared with writinc sympathetic letters to tho King of Slush. Mo. Republican. |
