ring the last twenty years of his life. His
energy degenerated into intensity, and

considering N opinion opposite to his

Exempt by his bodily constitution from
all temptation to physical excesses, his
body was worh oat by the intense, un-
healthy working of his mind. False
opinions falsely held and intolsrantlY

conspiracy trials. and although the ac-
qualntanee at no time ripened into iutima-
cy, he was struck with certain physical
pecuiiarltles IN the person of Surratt
which no disguise could affect. s.. Marie
went to Europe and entered the lsapaF
Guard as Zpuave. While attending
festival 10 Rome, he met Surratt, who
a2proached and asked him If he was not

least pleasant part of the entertainment.)
We had by this time reached the house,

Tom took me into the drawing room.

what it costs them to: maintain the, set d
leaders in this city who swing the hash oyef

These party leaders are now, as formerly,
trying to make the people believe that the
poor heirs of John Wilson make only, $e,-
600 a year ont Of this ferry business. They
do this In order to excuse their own 2treach-
cry to the people. BIT there is no truth
whatever in these reports, as a little cypher-
ing will show There has been running, on
the ice, carrying passengers between this
city and Dayeaperts this winters portion of
the time, s sleighs, and portion of the time,
IA sleighs. These sleighs required Is to
% horses, and TO Ia drivers, with harness,
robes, keeping &C., &c, all of which was
largely more expensive than running a ferry
boat For the purpose Of showing the
amountef business done 'ty shese sieighs,
Mr. 'Dimick takes an average ofthe earnings
of sleighs when only 8 were ,rlnning) one
week, which was $50, day, for the whole.
Multiply this by 365, the number Of days IA
the year, and the sum is s2l, 10000! Deduct
81, 900 for expenses, and You have left the
sum of 10000 year clear profit And
this, it should be remembered, is on a basis
of carrying only passengers across, when
one-half of the people walk, and when moth
ing is collected for teams, or droves, or
freight. all of which must pay on the ferry,
when the river is open, and when the boat
runs from 9 to 10 moaths in the year. 4
Now, does any RATIONAL sensible man be-
lfeye, when Robinson was offered S58,08e
for his ferry, before the passage Of the late
renewal ofhis charter, and 81 e,e0a addition.
al Since its renewal, and viii not sell at those
figures, that the institution is making only
$4,000 year? -Ofcourse not. The sleighs
disprove all such Stories. U.s. -s
The truth is that this ferry has, some years,
made over $4,000 and an average of from
$4,000 to $4,000 year for the last IL 10
Is years,-and will do so and perhaps more,
in the future
And large portion of this sum might
have been saved to the people, relieving
them of taxation, had their interests been
guarded by those elected to guard them
The people can now see how they are used
to make the rich richer and the poor poorer
how they are used to foist men into office,
city, county, state and national, who betray
the very people who elected them, and bend
all their energies to enrich some party friend
instead of lessening the burdens of the mass
of the people. #5s&l ~ g --3
The people are not only betrayed by par
tizan leaders, but a proposition from Mr.
Negus to pay the people $4,000 a year re-
ceives no attention, while the very privileges
for which he offered $4,000 year for are
given to party friend, under the lash of
party discipline.
