On Wednesday night, last week, a man, in
state of intoxication, was arrested in Phil
adelphia, and taken to the station. There
he was searched, and, among other things,
was found a black book, part of the contents
of which we print below. He asserted that
the receipts were worth FIVE hundred dollars
to him, and that all the liquors to which
they referred were actually made in that
way. A sense of duty to the public induces
us to publish them, that drinkers may see

matter for consideration. We think it is,
and that even if the amount of island bust

the toll gatherer, it ought to be established
now, as the other advantages alluded to
could then be realized.

1HE IH10n IS wholly mistaken Wnen IL
says "Mr. Cable is working through the AR
Gus &c.,&c. Mr. Gable did not know that
the ARGUS would say one word upon the
subject, nor did he desire that it should. AT
ter the article of Thursday evening appeared,
Mr.. Cable expressed regret that any allu
sion had been made to the matter; said that
he did not make the proposition to DR..
Truesdale's administration but the PROPOSE
ton was made to him by DR.. Truesdale that
he had no more propositions or suggestions
to make; that he had done all in his power
to bring the matter to an amicable adjust
ment that it was not to his interest, as far
as dollars and cents an concerned, to have
the proposition accepted, and that, if it was
not accepted, as stated, he should look to the
courts for the full amount his due.
The only interest actuating the ARGUS is
TO save the city one-half the debt. If
the aldermen do not feel any interest in the
matter, and have "got tired of it." the peo-
pie do feel an interest in it and think it is not
exactly the thing for any alderman who is
elected to transact their business to neglect
it because he is 'tired of it," The people
expect attention to their interests by those
who accept Office at their hands.
The City BRIDGEs.-We understand, that
large lumber yard has been established on
Que of the islands near Camden, and that
the business at that yard, as well as fsauch
other business there, causes great deal of
crossing of the small bridges, for which the
city gets no toll. The increasing business
on the islands will, of course, continue to in
crease the travel over these bridges The
city is obliged to keep them in repair, replace
them if carried away, and is liable for DANA
ges occurring upon than if they are not in
proper repair, and yet gets no revenue from
this largely increasing business on the IS
lands. ~a@ $3.50 -
Whether this increasing business is enough,
at present, to warrant the employment of
another toll gatherer, is question for the
consideration of the city council. Another
toll collector, located on the Camden side of
the bridges, would not only save the toll due
the city for this island business, but the
two toll collectors would be check ON each
other. All people passing from this side
should be required to pay this side, and take
check to deliver at the other to show that
they had paid. The same rule should be
IN force each way, and then these checks
would show the exact amount of money TAX.
