HEALTH OF THE CIrY.-AIihough we do mot

OF sickness existing among us ut the present time,

the frosts of Autumn shall have placed veto upon

lurking in their hidingpaces. 1t will not be forgot
ten that in 1887 some of our prominent citizens,
who had spent the summer elsewhere, were followed
to their graves the 18th of October, after an III
ness of some four or five days. We do not indeed
apprehend return Of the scenes of that distressing
season; but although danger is apparently very re-
mote we see no reason why friends should hurry
home to encounter the possibility of a mistake
There is no business to be done requiring their at

We copy from the Evening Post an account of an
octave pamphlet which has set the wings OF Gotham
all agog, compiled and published by VIM L. Mac
kcrzie, one Of the prime IN the Canada re-
heliion in 1887, and who fed TO New York where
he set up paper, devoted the object ofyli!yng Mr.
Van Buren,. but more recently an employe in the
New York Custom House. The Pamphlet purports
10 contain the private letters ofseveral distinguished
gentlemen addressed to Mr. Jesse poyt late Col
ector Of New York. The rascal stole those of
them that genuine, fiom II box of private
papers, accidentally left ia the Custom House by
Mr.. Hoyt, and doubtless forged the rest. The press
of New York is nearly unanimous in denouncing the
larceny-ihe Tribune and the Express only, having
the taste % copy from The Infamous pamphlet. We
think our neighbors overhe-way will reconsider
their determination TO grace their columns with
these "elegant extracts.'

Messrs. Editos.-The opinion Of the Judge of the
County Coml. whice was given To the public in the
Reg lister of Tuesday last has added 20 the general
interest ielt IN the community in relation to the con-
tested election between Messrs. Thompson and Rust
for the County Court Clerkship. The Honorable
Judge refuses to approve the official bond Of Mr..
Rust, upon the certificate Of election given him by
the Sheriff, whilst Mr.. Thompson remains in dis
charge Of the duties Of the Office
The opinion of the Judge, and indeed all that has
been heard of the dispute yeti pertains TO the per.
ssnal rights and individual claims OF iigants for the
Office; but it seems to me there is another, and a
very different inquiry, which demands the attention
try than the success defeat Of either Of the can
didates-and that is, whether The records Of ,he
County are not in hands wholly irresponsible BY
law?
The 18th section Of the V. article of The Constitu-
ton, requires that The Clerk Of the Circuit and infe-
roi Counts -laIl be elected for the term of lnur
years. On the first Monday Of August last, MIR.
Thompson's term expired; and the candidate which
the day of election received the greatest number
of yotes became, on the day succeeding, the legal
Clerk. upon complying with all legal acquisitions.
The ''prima facia" evidence of election is The nu-
merica majority upon ascertiined count by the man.
ayers legally appointed TO receive the votes Of the
qualified electors. There is no difference between
u candidate who the incumbent Of the office aud
any other candidate for the place, legal quail
hcations being the same. IL will not do 10 contend
tina; the suggestion Of fraud Of itself entities can
ddaie found IN the minority take possession Of
the Office and hold until The question of n,irness
is settled. Nor will il say, that that officer
whose term has expired acquires a right Of property
ia the Office by the mere act Of The standing candid
ate for the place, and by taking issue upon the
conduct Of the election TO prevent his adversary's
nvesitnre Fraud ,tiaes the whole procedure
and leaves the office without occupant uness the
term of the incumbent is extended by law until his
is duly invested. Tie term in the present
case is extended, and consequently il Mr. Rust
