THE RING. JOUN MORRISSEY. The New York pzpers were tilled to overflowing *‘1n memoriam’ of the decessed Democratic statesman, the Hon. John Morrissey. The Aafion, which looked rather coldly on the apotheosis of the defunct, thus snmmarizes the three colnmas of pufls of tho Tribune, ecven columas of the fer- ld, five columns of the Sun, £1X columns of the World, and tiree and a half coluinns of the Times: Three coluwns of the 7unes, of sis-sevenths of the article, are devoted to telifnz Do Morrissey, boziuning Iife as an iznorant aud vicious young la- borer, forsook steady industry for zambliny and pumlism, and became notorious by his oenses against the law, and Dby his tusbuience and vios lence. 111, in short, the bistory of a member nf the criminal class, for whose beaefit jails nre built, and whose activity and llgerty retect shame on the community which permits them.

No mun ought to be puolicly praised as Morrissey has been praisea by any one who is not prepared o say {hat he would like to see euch men in- definitely multiplicd.
