MARSHALL CouNIY P'uncs.--we learn from
a gentleman in Marshall county, that some
considerable feeling has been stirred up by u
small piece of political hchcadins down there.
Ii seems that GONE time ago, at Il convention Of
the fniihGul adherents Of tho Administration,
Sir. Eli Talbot, who has held the office for
a good many years on account of physical de.
cIepitudc, was again nominated as their candi
date for county assessor. After his nomina
tion. it leaked ont that he was fayorabIy in
clincd towards Caldwell, Wing Circuit Court
clerk, who is candidate for recollection: in fact
that he Craibot,) would in all probability vote
for Caldwell When this was noised abroad
among the fuithful. they took counsel together,
and silently caused Talbot's nalne to be stricken
FROM the rolls so that he stands now as an ex-
communicated hereto. 1" this jumcture, the
opposition have taken lin into their fold, and
intend to continue him AZ assessor thereby de-
fcating this small bit of prescription on the part
of the faithful.

therefore, right to command as it were, the
Council. deny their assumption. deny that
they anything more than part of the pco-
ple-not even majority; certainly not a major
ty of the gas conSmmcrS--but on the contrary,
large minority Of the gas consumers. As tie
city and the public have the gas on their own
terms, can there be any just reason or prctencc
for the city interfering Certainly none-for
let it be remembered, that il the city were to in

probably would have the effect of stopping the
gas altogether, Now what right has the city Ia

consumers of the gaS-or which wonld cut off
