Private Correspondence.
ROCHESTER, March s. 1888.
DEAR SIR
Our municipal election takes place on Tuesday |
next the 9Th instant Much interest is iet IL he re-
suit both here and at Albany indicating the STATE
public sentiment upon the great political topics OF
the day. Both parties have completed their norma
TONS IN all the wards and al active canvass IS gong
on Local questions will influence many IN tneli
votes hut the result will furnish pretty accurate test
of the relative strength of parties will not venture
te predict the result The potroonery OF ihe sou
disant Patriots is contemplate as their designs
are atrecions. Their conduct Is generally execrateo
even by their former friends. No cause can prosper |
when managed by such vagabonds as van hensse-
laer and Sutherland
The death of Ciley has produced burst of indg
nation here among all parties Webb, DAVIS, ana
Wise are looked upon as cold blooded murderers and
the wings will, IN all probability, abandon the blood
stained "banket sheet TO its merted fate. !,
Our banks commenced this day the issue OF small
bills, and the people verify believe that now lher
troubles are all ended The corporation of this city
has resolved itself into ''monster or "rag facto
ry" by an issue of $50 600 of shnplasters, SZo,0oO
of which have been redeemed absorbed IN the pay
ment of taxes leaving $4,000 yet afloat. These
facts learn from the annual report OF our city urea
surer.
BY means of this paper issue we have kept our la
borers employed, and have progressed with our pub
lie improvements during the past season. The new
market is jssl completed. 1t is one OF the BEST ana
and would do honor to any city. BUSINESS OF all
kinds is quite brisk, and our merchants are dong
more than they anticipated. The mercantile ana
mechanical interests in Rochester are unqueslenably
in seunder and healthier condition than In any
other city in the state. Extensive preparations are
making for building the coming season. and the Ge,
nessee Valley Canal, Auburn and Rochester Kali
Read, and new aqueduct over the Genessee all OF
which will Ego ahead" in the spring, will furnlsh
employment for laborers and mechanics. The means
of living abundant and cheap, house rent mode
rate, and fuel rery cheap Hundreds OF your worthy
citizens who have suffered by the revulslon, would
find happier home, and probably better fortune IN
Rochester.
The climate Of this city has undergone singular
change within the past ten years, and mas enureiy
changed the character Of diseases Formerly com,
ague, and bilious fevers prevailed. Now, pulmonary
diseases are frequent, bat fever and ague IS never
heard of. This singular change is generally attrl-
buted the destruction of the forests that formerly
protected us from the lake winds. This city 49, how,
ever as healthy as any other in the Union OF equal
population.
But little is doing in produce. Flour $3.50; pork
$3.50 and Sc per cwt.; beef cattle IS per cwt.
II The New York SACRED Music SOCIETY will

pe for the benefit of the poer. God bless them, and

n A SPLENDID BALL, at Spottswood, N. j., will
be given This eresing Spottsweod is on the Phlladel-
phia rail road, half way between South Amboy and
Bordentown. II is given at SnowhilPs Rail Road
House. All the most beautiful girls, in that part OF
he country, will be present. The managers have
sent us an invitation, which we shall accept if posi-
be- do most ardently want TO see the Jersey girls
I want 10 know how the rascally bachelors behave
ifthey get themselves wives as they
ought to do "Ths world must be peopled," as Be-
nedict says. BY the year 1885, there must be thirty
million of inhabitants in the Union. Times short
bear hand, bachelors.
SALE OF PROPERTY ron TAxEs.-Durng the last
three days, real estate to nearly the amount OF
sl00 900 has been sold at public vendue at the City
Hall. This sale is an evidence that there is no
scarcity of money the city, There was great COM
petition amongst the bidders for the lots as to who
should take them for the lowest term of years, and
nav the assessments and although large sums were
10 be paid on many Of the lots Immediately on the
purchsse, vet majority of the estates were taken for
less than twenty years, and great number for less
than ten years. II may not be amiss to state, that
dav or two before the SALE less a sum than $50 900
in actual cash paid in by the proprletors of the
nroperty who were in arrears. And in less than
e;oh, and forty hours the whole of the 100000 will
be paid into tho City Treasury. THIS dees not look
very like scarcity Of money.
Tpx BAMpEHs.-The case with which these men
are connected, "drags its slow length along" II
came NJ for consideration in the Court of Sessions
Yesterday. and Mr. David Graham, in few able and
eloquent remarks, commended strenuousy for their
d;scbar0e-not az matter Of favor-not as matter
of clemency-but as a matter Of right and justice
the ground of their innocence. John A. Aorre, Esq.
stated that from motives Of pure philanthropy he had
waited on the Governor Of this State and laid before
him the substance Of the documentary evidence tend
inc 10 prove that they innocent Of the charges
alleged against them; and that the Governor had
EXPRESSED his determination to revoke his warrant
upon receipt of the necessary papers. The Recorder
said he would look over all the papers on both Sides
and adjourned the case till Monday next expecting
in the mean time to receive the Governors order to
release them. Whilst on this subject we will simply
state that the British government do not want the
Bambers 10 be given up; bu, 0Connell has forced
the measure on them, on account of the Bambers be
ing protestants.
