In communication In the Abingdon Democrat,
of the 7th Of October, We and the following Lam
guage:
"What know Of the history Of Mr.. Wise Is,
that the years Of his active political life were spent
in open hostility TO Democracy In every shape and
form. Where was be when we were struggling for
the principles which have so gloriopsly triumphed
Battling against them with all the mighty effect Of
his orator5 cursing and reviling the very prin.
cirles OF which South West thinks him Of all
Others the most worthy emblem. His hostility To
Democratic principles was ever sustained till l84s
by that bitterness and rancor Of feeling which he
constantly manifested towards political foe."

Gil unanimously rejected, and thus allowed the
machinery of the Corporation to 90 on, instead Of
entirely aispendiag operations as would have
been the case, had DIR. Magruder's proposition pre-
vailed and he well knew It. Where would then
have been the Doctors widows and orphans?
With the Doctors motives we have nothing to
do. He has charged the party in power with NAL
administration Of affairs; and IL is submitted to a
discriminating people, with the above information
before them, to decide whether the Corporation Is
bankrupt, and If SO, how far DR.. Magrudcr has
aided in bringing about or averting that calamity.
What aro,d have been the state of things, had the
money appropriated been actually expended, or
rather, had the work been done which has been
ordered by the Boards may be surmised. But,
unfortunately for DIR. Msgruders plan, the work
has not been done, nor is IL likely il will, until the
treasury is in condition to warrant IT. or there 10
some prospect Of obtaining the necessary means.
This period is at hand, when the business OF the
year win be closed, and the condition Of it's finances
will without doubt be found 10 be such as to de-
monstrate the ability Of the Corporation TO meet
all its reasonable wants
The Doctor complains that the widows and the
orphans have not been paid truly this Is sorrow
full, and as means Of removing tho difficulty and
preventing like occurrence, II Is suggested that
the shrerd calculating representative of the First
Ward should commence retrenchment; let him
ret his ward ont Of debt, which II has not been
since he took his scat in the upper Board, and
there Is no doubt but that in very short time the
wants Of that section Of the city, at any rate, viii
be beautifully supplied. CITIZEN.

sealer OF weights and measures.


AT the last meeting Of the City Council,
the subject Of Sealer of Weights and
Measures was incidentally introduced, and
the City Marshal was indicated as the prop
err person under the charter to act in that
capacity. That worthy officer has many
duties to discharge, and some of them quite
onerous. To discharge all with strictness,
he should frequently be in many places at
once. 1t is, therefore, matter for consid-
GRAFTON whether some special officer should
not be appointed to regulate this matter.
That many Of the scales and weights in use
in stores and elsewhere are untrue, and need

pie, especially, it is an evil which should ct
once be remedied 1t is to be hoped the
City Fathers will give the subject its proper
consideration at the next meeting.

At any rate his popularity is now greater
than ever, and the shot of the assassin has
done him more good than harm. With con-
siderable tact, he..has turned the whole af.
fair to account In his reply to the con.
gratulations of the Senate, on his escape,
he uses the following remarkable language:
THAT France need not be anxious, that
Providence selects and shields certain exist
ences, and that until their mission is fulfilled,

them" This is the boldest declaration of
fatalism he has made yet.
