4 LITTLE GAME OF THla1BLE RIG

The Washburn clique, (Washburn,
without an ., for We prefe, to spell his
name as did his father, and as his brother
E-lie-ha does, } attempted another fraud
on Tuesday last, by publishing a call
tor the District Convention, purporting
to be signed by the four gentlemen,
7. NJ. Metcalf, Chairman, E. W. Gutter,
s. P. Willard and A. B. Stickney,
constituting tho Committee. OF courseit
was published in the Press, in an OBJ
sourc corner, and that evening the
Chairman, T. NJ. Metcalf aud MIR.
Cutter, united in card in the Dis
patch, stating the published call to be
unauthorized, and their published Sig
Natures thereto unmitigated and ras-
coly Joryeries. The Press of Wei
nesday announces that ''it has been in
duced to withdraw the call for the pres
eot which is not surprising, as persons
heretofore have been induced "to with
oraw" to Saltwater fer like offense,
there to become respectable coopers. Its
also Withdrawn because of a misap-
prehension."
That is also quite probable, as the call
was wholly unauthorized and the names
Of two men forged to 1t. A misap-
prehension Of what, we enquire
Do the Editors Of the Press think
that they are the party of this DIS
trict, the entire committee, or have
they faucied themselves to be Messrs.
Metcalf aud Gutter?
Republicans OF Stearns County, we
ask you, if you can support or encour-
age politician, or bis friends, who
will attempt to secure nomination in
this manner, by adding the crime Of
forgery to their un ust and yillainous
assaults upon every man whose name
has been mentioned as a candidate
Let warfare of this kind meet with
singing rebuke.

TIE Q. s. REvEHUE-AN EypLANA.
rIoN.-lt affords rs pleasure to ofisr
a word Of explanation in tenalf of a
very worthy officer, NJ 'jor s. L. Jones,
our District Assossor, in relation TO
tho Dis:illation Law, ana his action
thereto. 1t seems that whom tho Ii.
censes wore granted under tho law,
the Assessor supposed that an abatc-
ment would be allowed in certain
cases; but he bad no authority to do
moro than give his opinion, which it
appears has not been sustained By the
action OF the authorities. The refusal
to abate, in in no way chargsable upon
tho Assessor, whose Guty is not to
make tho law, bot to enforce it. The
law had just been passed, and the
Assessor interpreted it tc tho best of
his ability.
For tho information of tho public,
wo would state that all distiIlcrs of
spirituous liquors are required to pay
a special tux cf 800 for 100 barrels or
lcss, and 81 for eoch barrel in excess,
to pay tax Of SO cents on each gal.
Ion, make monthly returns, &c &C.,
under heavy penalties. Ali dealers il,
tobacco are required 10 make returns
and pay certain taxes.

WANTED. A depot at the Spring
street crossing. We hope that the
Central Railroad company will SO far
regard the wishes of those who live in
this growing section of our city, and
whe travel daily to New York, as to
comply at once with their wishes and
afford them the facilities and accommo-
dations, for which the company is so
celebrated. A neat little depot, which
can be erected at ii tritling cost, would
soon Increase travel, and be the means
of greatly improving this fast growing
portion Of our city. We urge upon
company the necessity Of erecting a
depot of some kind at Spring street.
Years ago depot existed at Ca'harine
street, and why one has mol since been
built in this section of the city we can
not tell

HOUSES FOR PooR People. every
city and IN every community there al
ways must exist, until some very radi-
cal change is adopted in the organiza-
lion Of society, a large class of persons,
such as are known as the workingmen
in all departments of business. For
these there should be provided COM
Portable, commodious and cheap houses
1t is impossible for them to live in large
and expensive mansions, and it is not
right that they should be compelled to
howell in unclean, unhealthy, crowded
and announcement tenements. Rather
than do this most of our laboring class
will pay high rent for a house too
large for their wants and means. They
have too much honest pride to huddie
together in tumble down shanties, and
to live respectfully they are compelled
to suffer financial stringeney. Houses
for this class of persons is not so plen
tiful as they should be, and our capt.
talists are neither wise norliberal mind
ed that it should be so. A large nnm-
Der of houses have been erected this
year in Elizabeth, and the market will,
in our opinion, be found to be rather
overstocked next spring with houses of
certain class-such as rent from $500
to 81 900 per annum.
A city cannot be entirely composed
of palatial residences and massive
warehouses, and since the workingmen
are really the most numerous and inn
portant part of onr population, why
would it not be better to provide fer
them well-built, comfortable little hous-
es, where they could have a decent
home at small rent We are entire
ly convinced that this would be the
part of economy in every way, and
trust the hints we have given will be
acted upon.

Bsa. Market Hall was comfortably
filled last evening, being attracted to
hear Major General Kilpatrick's lecture
on Sherman's great march to the
Sea-" The general was warmly receiv-
ed, rs everEis the case when he visits
our city, and was repeatedly applauded
during the delivery of the lecture. =
He ran over the history of the army S
operations, and argued that it was only
after President Lincoln issued the
Emancipation Proclamation, that vic
tory was ensured to our armies His
description of the battle of Lookout
Mountain was intensely interesting Lit
seemed as if we We're one of the army
so graphic was the picture presented.
He recounted in eloquent language, the
march along the mountains to Atlanta,
and the burning of that city. His mar
rative of the great march to the Sea
was peculiarly interesting, humorous
and instructive. The bummers'
came in for a fair share of praise.
The lecturer considers Sherman the
greatest General of modern times.

speaker.

Rea. Keep the ball of improvement
rolling. 1t has had pretty good roll
for the whole season, and it might as
well be run out to the end of the fine
weather. While in improvement of our
houses and lots, how would it do to look
into the improvement of ourselves.
There are probably very few people
who might not be bettered by laying q
new foundation aud repairing cracked
walls. There are some rough edges
that might be planed of with advan-
tage, warped PANELS. in the former
smooth dispositions might be replaced,
and then perhaps to cover over the many
defects that years have left upon MS,
two or three coats of paint might hide
the imper fections and at least enable
us to assume virtue though we have
it not
