Ed. appeal: The Digest distinctly
says, that when the owners OF two
thirds OF more of the real estate on any
street or alley, shall petition the City
Council to pave the same with stone, iron,
or such other durable and lasting mate
rial, the same may be ordered and three
fourths of the cost assessed against the
property fronting on said street or alley"
Now, viii our sapient Board Of Alder
men tell us by what authority they seek
to negotiate for the Nicholson pavement,
in total disregard of the wishes of the
petitioners? It will not do TO say las
one ufouroflcials told the writer, lyon
have got TO have the Nicholson anyhow,
whether you ike II or not"
This is decidedly cool, coming from a
party not tdred. Such, generally, are
the opponents TO stone pRvements. Our
City Council have no more right TO con-
tract for any pavement until owners OF
t%wo-thirds Of the property petition for it,
than they have to contract for a line OF
steamers TO run To Europe. But we are
willing and anxious 10 pave with stone,
and Mr.. Tate is unwittingly unjust to us
in his suspicious to the contrary. He
greatly mistakes the facts in reference to
the adoption Of the Nicholson in st.
Louis, and his informant has imposed
upon him. Oliver street was paved with
1t in 1853 down the grade 70 the river,
with the belief that it would not be so
slippery as the iron or stone, and
perhaps a few other patches for similar
experiments, tifh0ld any general adop-
ton Of the wooden pavements. 1t proves
nothing to say that Nashville is adopting
it; Memphis did the same thing, in the
same way, in 1860, and Mr.. Tate asks if
their tNashville) Board Of Mayor and
Aldermen are incompetent or bought
up.n Very likely both, Mr.. Tate, if not
perfectly deHented.
il is unfair to seduce Mr.. Overton from
his known preference for stone, by telling
him it cannot be procured. In the name
of Justice and deoenCy why not advertise
forit? Are the wooden contractors afraid
to come in competition with it? Must
We have wood ROle1s UOlCHs2 Let par
ties interested in this humbug beware
how they tampeF with the rights OF our
citizens. let the contumaeiOus alder
men beware how they barter away the
best interests Of their constituents. And
finally, let the street railroad company
beware how they interfere with
the rights Of property holders who
have quietly acquiescsd in their
privileges. They may ride over our
Streets, but they cannot ride over our
people. A sober second thought might
benefit them, if they would heed it in
time.
Fair treatment is all we want, and that
we intend to have. We accept Mr.. Tate's
proposition: LET the property holders
have whatever kind of pavement they
are willing topay for, " and as pine-tenths
of them want stone, let them have II.

NEW YORK. Apru :

NEW YORK, April ..
The Herald's Toronto special, of last
evening, says the GlO6c's Cornwall dis
patch tonight says that dissatisfaction
is expressed among the magistrates by
the singular course Of the Mayor OF Corn-
wall, who is an Orangeman, and who, in
forming his court, excluded all Catholic
magistrates from the bench. This fact,
together with the exclusion of the press,
and other circumstances. lead the people
to believe that, whether guilty or not, a
diabolical attempt is being made to pun
ish The prisoners.
Wheeler was very insOlent, and threat
ened, if not instantly released. to apply
to President johnson.
4 special dispatch from Cornwall also
says that a very unpleasant N is
afioat, as follows:
Detective Clark, while here as a wit
ness, by speaking Irish, got into the con-
idence of one ODOnOhue, of Cornwall,
and INDUCED him in whisky. He repre-
scented himself as a Fenian sympathizer,
and drew from 0'DOnOhue the names of
other sympathizers here, and also, that
if any movement was made Mayor AL
len would be the first victim. Clark
made affidavit that O'Donohue gave this
Information, and the Mayor a y he has
it in his possession.
The citizens kindly offered to supply
the prisoners with newspapers, but the
magistrates refused to allow them to re-
eeive them.
The magistrates already declare that
the prisoners viii be committed to the
fall assizes. The people consider this
cruel persecution shameful.
The Globes Eastport dispatch tonight
says that small squads are moving 70
Calais, and other Maine towns.
Killian has gone TO Portland, and Syn
not is in command.

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.
Letter from Gen. Grant.

Q-uartermaster General Meigs has writ
ten a letter urging the immediate con
struction of the Northern Pacific rail-
road, and showing that the vast saving
in expense to the Government in the
transportation of troops and supplies will
amply compensate the Government for
the aid asked for by the company. Gen.
Grant has placed the following indorse-
ment upon it!
H"EADQUARTERs ARMIES OF Z. s
W~AsHLNGrON, April 10Th.
The construction Of q railroad by the
proposed route would be of very great
advantage to the Government pecunia-
rily, by saving in the cost Of ~transporta-
ton to supply troops whose presence in
the country through which 1t Is proposed
TO pass, Is made necessary by the great
amount of immigration to the gold bear
ing regions Of the Rocky Mountains. In
my opinion the United States would re-
ceive an additional benefit by the con-
structIon Of this road, by the settle
ment It would induce on the line
Of the road, and consequently the less
number of troops necessary to seaaIre or
der and safety, and for these benefits
should be compensated by the General
Government beyond the grant of land
already awarded by Congress. I would
merely give il a. my opinion that the en-
terprise Of constructing the Northern
Pacific railroad is one well worth foster
tering by the General Government, and
such aid could well be afforded as would
insure tue early prosecution of the work.
