Mr.. EDITOR believe it to be the duty of all
good citizens to watch their public officers. of what
grade, and when they fail TO discharge their
duties hold them responsible, and, if necessary,
up to the public gaze, as unworihyaof such Office.
But when we see one who discharges every duty
with eye to the public welfare, should not
refuse 10 mete out TO such suitable praise. | am
led TO these remarks from the manner in which I
have seen one of our old and worthy public officers
for the last two weeks in The discharge of his duty.
alude to our City Constable, and Overseer of the
Streets, JAMES MURRAY Those who have visited
the Eastern part of the City cannot fail to the
improvement which he has made on one of the
most public streets in the City, and that too in a
manner which is believed to be permanent, and at

Extract from a letter to The Editor, dated
OXFORD, August Z.
"You may be surprised at the result in Granville,
but if you knew the unfair manner in which the
whig. used the three million appropriation, you
would be surprised no longer. They circulated it
all over the County, on the day of election, that
Mr.. Venabie admitted on Wednesday, in his
speech, that the three millions were 10 pay the
