"THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR."
While wo hold oursclf responsible for
what appears In ourpaperriWorinfi.wo
by no means vouch for what appears In
our adverlhimj department. Tho latter
Is a buslnc!) matter and Is so understood
bv tho public. Columbia Count.il Re
publican.
And so becauso It Is n "business mat
ter" and money Is to bo mado by It;
tho editor of tho Republican deliberately
panders to tho very worst nnd lowest
Instincts of the most degraded human
ity. For money ho prostitutes the col
umns of his newspaper, for monoy ho
becomes tho pimp of nil tho ras
cals who "comply with ids terms," for
money ho publishes n sheet not fit to bo
read In tho family clrclo by reason of
profanity and obscenity ; and because
ho can mako money by it, ho boldly
stands up and defends that, which even
to bo guilty of, would make any decent
man blush with shame.
Corruption, profligacy and crime aro
tho order of the day, and it Is not tho
least among the signs of national decay,
that men dare to defend as "matter of
business" such foul nnd disgraceful
things; and it is to such papers doubt
less, that very much of this crimo and
corruption is owing.
And thus when n venal and unscru
pulous man gets hold of ji newspaper,
he sells first himself, and next his party,
and then, sacrifices decency, propriety,
public virtuo, and private worth to
"The Almighty Dollar."

MURDER OF THE INNOCENTS.
It Is getting to bo a serious question
among Christian men and women
whether wo ought not to havo n Society
for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Chil
dren. Wo had not recovered from tho
sickening horrors of tho caso of tho
Rov. Lindsay, who whipped his littlo
son to death because the child would not
say his prayerc, when wo wcro called
upon tho other day to record n frightful
instance of child torturo near Hackeu-
sack, N. J. which fortunately camo to
tho knowlcdgo of tho authorities before
had culminated in downright murder.
A man and his wife, named Vnndcrbllt,
had taked nn orphan child, ono Mary
Ann Farrell, from an nsylum, for tho
purposo of employing her as a servant.
For about cloven months tho husband
knocked her about with a broomstick,
and tho wlfobcat her with nn irondlppcr.
They used totnkoherto thecellor, strip
her naked, tie her up by tho wrists, lash
her with n horsewhip till tho blood ran
down he'r limbs, and then rub tho raw
flesh with brine. Sho made her escape
at lost,and was found ono morning in tho
open fields, with baro feet and legs, and
wearlngonly n single thin undergarment
so saturated with blood nnd tilth that
it had to bo peeled from her body llko
n scab, Sho nppeard In court with evi
dences of torturo so pitiful upon her
person that stout men wept at the specta
cle. Her Jaw had been broken ; her
hair had been torn out by haudfuls ; her
faco was swollen nnd deformed ; her
lips wcro cut open; her eyes were black
end nnd scarred ; her wholo body was
bruised and discolored. Littlo wonder
that tho neighbors wero with difficulty
restrained from wreaking Lynch -law
vengeanco on tho authors of tho outrage.
The samo day wo reported the dis
covery of the dead body of an Infant in
an nlloy way in this city. Its throat
had been cut from ear to ear ; tho head
was nearly severed from tho body there
wcro three or four cuts about tho neck,
as if inflicted by tho trembling, hurried
hand of a woman. On that day also
another caso of infantlcido was added
to tho long list which disgraces our
annual polico calender. An unknown
woman was seen to drop a bundle In
Twenty-slxth-st. When opened It was
found to contain tho murdered body of
a child, killed by strangulation. '
Onoof-thomost shocking and Inhuman
child murders that wo over read of oc
curred in tho early part of March in
Warsaw, Indiana. An nbandonded
woman named HInes apprenticed her
little boy, four years of age, to a Mr.
and Mrs. Harl. They wero to have
kept tho boy until ho was of ngo ; but
tho process of "conquering" him which
the man Harl Immediately commenced
was too severe for so tender a baby,and
death rellevd him of tho charge at the
end of four weeks. The day after his
Introduction to his now homo tho poor
infant was wipped with "a blacksnako
Wlllii" Pccitusu lio Hd not. know his

wagon-whip, beaten with straps,knoek-
ed out of his chair for falling asleep,
bruised with clubs and bits of board
until his flesh was like a jelly. One day
tho bruto Harl hanged him by tho waist
from a hook In thowall, took offhisshocs
and stockings, and kindled a flro under
tho soles of his feet. When tho flames
began to dIooul,thechiId'smother,who
was present was compelled, with dread
ful threats, to bring fresh coals. This
torturo lasted nearly half an hour,
Then tho sufferer was taken down and
tied to a bed-post. Spent with pain,
ho fell asleep ; for this crimo he was
locked up half naked for two hours and
a half on a cold February day In a eel
lar. At night tho executioner dipped
hi3 head in a bucket of water and im
prisloncd him again In tho ccller. Then
ho turned him out of doors In his shirt
and trousers. After the burning, said
Harl's wife, in her testimony in court,
"tho child was not able to run around
as usual." Sometimes, as a variation
of tho torture, tho boy was hanged up
by tho heels. Ono day, after ho had
been whipped as usual, ho seemed "very
poorly ;" ho "did not talk any," and at
noonhowa3 put to bed. .Early in tho
evening Harl sent his wife to her room
It was very late when ho followed her.
wo had no conversation that night."
says Mrs. Harl; "tho child was not
there in tho moruig." Mrs. Hines, tho
mother, supected foul play, and applied
to a magistrate. A search was mnde,and
tho body of the poor boy was found In
ft trunk at tho bottom of a well. Harl
mado his escape, but has slnco been cap
tured. Tho women wero both arrested
and tried as accomplices In tho murder.
Thoy wero ncquitted, after an exami
nation which seems to show that tho
mother, who had done littlo or nothing
to prevent tho foul cruelty which had
been exercised under her very eyes,wa3
tho worst criminal of tho three.
A few days ago a German carpenter
was arrested in Chicago on a charge of
wlpplng his daughter to death. Tho
neighbors, alarmed nt tho horrid
outcries of'tho littlo sufferer, entered
tho house; tho man nnd his wife wero
absent, and tho child was found dead,
lying on her faco upon ft bed. Her back
was a mass of wounds ; her garments
woro saturated with blood ; her neck
was purple with tho marks of a clutched
hand ; tho eyes wero open, and tho faco
was distorted wltii agony.
Tlioso things aro almost too sickening
for comment. Wo used to believo that
tho wholesalo killing of children by
slow torturo was a refinement of wicked
ness in which England led tho world ;
but the records of tho last year or two
go far to transfer the bad preeminence
tooursevles. Murder by tho lash seems
almost to havo becomo ancpidcmic,and
onoof tho worst features in the caso is
that women nro so often implicated in
tho unnatural brutality. A stato of
society in which such horrors can becomo
frequent, such inoffablo crimes bo per
