week that thise DMisionof the Second Cvllee-
ton Di,trict hal been joined to the Granite
City Division and while giving the fact were,
anl arssstill, unsble. to offer any reason in ex-
pAnation. The 6rst intimation the people had
-ofths change waeshAe notice received by Aest
Assessor Noel, informing him of the CONSOLE
dation and that his services we're no longer
needed. No cause was a.signed; no tiplana-
ton given; ana Tie people Of this tonn,y are
still in doubt why they are corpelled to do
business with; and rely for Information oh, sh
officer living far, beyond its limits. ny meh-
ton our own county especially, for it is to it
that the great injustice is done, as the reve-
nue. yielded .;Kas fully Agee.tourtAs. that Of
the entire division sit formerly stood, and al
most that much ass 1t isnow consolidated
Then, why is it that the Assessor is chosen
from another county? For reasons Of econo:
ny Scarcely for the revenue of this dfvis=
ion was more than sis times that Of the one TO
which it is annexed, and it is not customary
to merge large district in an inferior one
So fnr as we can learn the fault is not with
Assessor Noel, for Mr.. Morrison, the Assessor
of the District, has frequently spoken in fat
ter:ng terms cf the neatness, promptaess and
correctness Of his returns. 10 the people of
the division he gave universal satisfaction,
and was popular officer. As
his successor lives far removed from
the bulk Of the business to be performed and
people tc be accommodated, and knows noth-
ing Of the situation of a majority of the busi<
ness men Of the division (viz. in this county,
the injustice Of the action WILDE readily seen,
and it can be Inscribed to nothing but rersonal
favoritism. We trust that Mr.. Morrison will
speedily remedy this wrong, and either rein
state Mr.. Noel Or appoint as Assessor one Of
the citizens Of this place.
