! NV attention has been called to an arti-
Gle in the Daily Democrat Of to-day, COM
menting upon my course in calling meet
inc of the Democrats of the End Ward, on
Friday evening last, for the purpose of NOM
mating delegates to represent said Ward in
the Territorial Convention to be held on
the 18th inst.
! am charged in the notice above refer
red to- with having issued the call without
consulting with Mr. Murray, and in viola
ton of party usage.
In reply will simply state, that the call
was made with the full knowledge and ap-
probation of many democrats of the End
Ward, and after Mr. Murray had been con-
suited in regard to issuing the call, as was
informed, and refused to do SO, without as
signing any reason for his course of action
No democrat belonging to the I'd Ward
was heard to complain of the manner and
time of issuing the call, until after certain
gentlemen belonging to the Sd Ward dis
covered, as they supposed, that the I'd
Ward was not capable Of conducting their
own affairs, politically, without their assist
ance At the meeting on Friday last, when
Mr.. Murray stated what is re-hashed in the
Democrat'of to-day, pointedly denied that
there was any COLLISION in issuing the C, =,
and called upon him to give his authority
and reasons for so declining, he was silent
AS to the legality of the call, presume
when made by the persons duly authorized
to issue it, it is legal, although it may be
issued at a time calculated to defeat COM
binatlon having its origin for the purposes
of defeating fair expression of the peo-
| pie.
AS to other charges preferred against
me in the Democrat of Saturday last and
of to-day, [ shall say nothing, but shall at
all times hold myself in readiness to show
before the voters of the I'd Ward that nv
course was dictated by no desire to defeat
the wishes of a majority of the Democrats
of the I'd Ward, fairly expressed

A NU1sANCE,--Last Sunday, and fire.
quently heretofore, we noticed number of
men and boys bathing in the river, in full
view of all persons on the walk along the
bluff on ST. Anthony street-some Of them
performing acts Of obsceuity, when ladies
were passing, which were disgrace to
manhood, and deserving the censure Of all
decent people In most cities there is an
ordinance prohibiting bathing in such public
places, except very early in the morning OF
late at night We are Dc aware that
there is any law of the kind in this city. II
there is, the officer whose duty it is to en-
force it, is most cuipably negligent. IF there
is not, we would suggest to the members OF
the City Council, tnat decency and proper
respect for the feelings Of ladies who arc
compelled to pass along the walk, demand
an immediate enactment Of such an ordi
nance, and that it be rigidly enforced.

The Second Ward.

We have, from reliable authority, state
ment showing that the disorder at the
meeting on Saturday evening to nomi-
nate Delegates from the Second Ward, was
as deliberately formed, as it was effectualiy
carried into effect, and by people, too, who
had no business to be present at the meet
ing, for the reason that they belonged to
other wards
Private individuals may quarrel as much
as they please about candidates for Dele
gate to C0ngress-there-may be as many
petty cabals, caucusses, private understand
ings, etc, as in their mad desire to antici-
pate a result which viii be in due time ac-
accomplished, they may choose to set up and
maintain; they may make as :. ny disturb
ances as they like on their own hook, if
they will only let the regular Democratic
party alone--permit it to be free to follow its
ancient usages, to recognize the voice of its
properly appointed and approved leaders
and officers, and to govern itself according
ly Let them, if they will, pirate upon and
about the streets, and make all sorts of
places noisy with their political talk and ad-
vocacy,-let them be in their own estima-
nation, the particular great men Of the day,
in whose hands rests the power to break up
this party or that, to set up this man or
crush the other-but let them stop there.
The old Democratic party has never
needed anything but its organization to
guard and keep it. Its organization is its
life-preserving principle; and adherence to
its regular nominations has ever been one of
its cardinal principles as ministering to the
principle Of the greatest good othe great
est number.
How does the action at the meeting in
Second Ward show in this regard? Mr..
Van Etten, the duly authorized Chairman
of the Committee of the Second Ward, by
which Committee the meeting YVES called,
stated expressly in MS opening remarks on
that occasion, that it was desired to have a
fair and full expression of the voters Of the
Second Ward Up to that time no demur
whatever had been made by any citizen of
the Second Ward either as to the impropri-
ETY. of the call Or the brevity of the time,
but it very soon became apparent that a
faction, aided by people from other Wards,
were fearful of the result, and resorted to
the miserable method adopted to stop all
proceedings Rule or ruin may be good
motto for them,-love for particular can
didate is to be commended, but the men
who break in upon the established usages of
the party, aud with rude violence seek to
crush its authorized utterance, should meet
with the hearty Reproduction of every Demo
crat, for under every rule of right reason,
they should be placed under the ban!

Health of ST. Paul.

The full heatof summer is upon us
August cannot make it hotter than it has
been fora few days past, and the heat will
not by any possibility be felt more then,
than it is now Everybody is aware that
it is hot Nobody denies the proposition
but, on the contrary, rather presents it to
his friends and neighbors by constantly re-
marking chow hot it isl" People go about
pursuing business, looking limp and perspi-
ration soaked, and feeling, no doubt, in any
thing else but the humor to pursue money
making. The spur of necessity however,
which proves so strong in breaking down
difficulties, no matter how great, keeps
them at it and compels the endurance of
the fierce heat; but as there is scarcely any
thing without its opposite, there can be
nothing so grateful as is the evening relief
from the toll of the hot day. nothing so
refreshing as the sweet sleep that follows it,
unless it be the genial, balmy air of early
morning. ott -.at.. ..+.t.
1t is well to adopt at this season every
sanitary measure for the protection of health.
Nothing should be omitted; and if aught
else were wanting to urge US to this, let it
be found in the fact that even now evil
minded persons i'll the city of G;,lena and
other places below us are industriously cir
culating rumors that the cholera is preva-
lent here, and that many deaths occur every
day.
We may we'll challenge examination into
the state of health here at this time, for
we know that there is a general absence Of
disease, and that nothing Of contagious
character exists. Our board of health has
nothing to do, and has not made any re-
port of serious sickness, calling for its at
tention, for three months past Everything
goes well with us, and, we trust, will con-
tinue so to do, in this respect.
But there is need of careful guard against
the generation of disease this hot season.
Cleanliness Of person is an absolute neces-
sity, and cleanliness in and about every
domicile is 10 less so. If both are attended
to there need be little fear Of engendering
disease, and if engendered it can very soon
he repressed. Caution, and timely precau-
ton only are necessary to secure the city's
health, and always give the lie to those false
rumors, which some evil minded people seem
so industriously bent Oh spreading abroad
to the detriment of St. Paul.
