Ellsworth Wants.

Ask a citizen of the town what are the
pressing wants Of Ellsworth, and he will
tell you nnhesitatingly, and without stop
ping to take breath, ~ more capital and
more kinds of business" This Is all true
and yet there are some other wants that dc
serve to be considered AMI then acted up
on.
We need,-it Is q pressing need teo,a city
charter. Many valid reasons why we
should exchange tho old time honored.in u-
picip2l organization of town for that of
the more formal, more precise, and better
regulated organization Of q city. 1t has
not escaped the observation Of all the peo-
pie of the town that the men who generally
vote the money, and do most of the bus-
ness OF the town, other than that OF elect
ing the town officers, are those who act
from the impulse of the moment, and who
do not care, or seem to. how the business
is done. The men who pay most of The
taxes the men who do the most OF the bust
ness, are not the men who usually do our
town business, at the March meetings.

Al to the custom prevailing in most
parts Of the country OF allowing the use
OF liquors on such occasions, we regard it
reprehensibls and perpiciuus. Under the
dat" OF Sept. 9, We remarked - follows
IN regard to this coppsrhead attempt to H.
bel tho character Of the great and noble
man the American people are about to
elect President Of the United States:
One Of the meanest efforts made by
eopperheads to iDjurs the reputation Of
Gen. Grant is the one relating to the furn-
ishing Of liquors to guests when he was in
Augusta lin 1865. That great and good
man was in this city few hours not long
after the surrender of Lee at Appomattsx
As the rebels had just surrendered in the
South and made many promises Of rep Mt
ance and good behavior in tho future. the
Republicans OF this city were willing to
ehow the same clenency to the Democrats
here that Grant had just shown to those in
Virginia. Therefore the Republicans OF
Augusta Joined with the Democrats in re-
ceiving Grant as the hero worthy the HON
age OF all. The Republicans were 90 lib
sral that the Democrats monopolized oil
undue proportion of the hon0rs Of The oc
casion. and some of them were very flush
with their presump,ious and sickenins
fawnings around the great Commander
To such an exten: did these Democrats
take the lead on the occasion that iuteili
gent gentlemen present. frsm other sec
marked to Augusta Republicans" You are
nosrhere at this entertdinment.' Liquor,
were brought to s0me OF the tables-by
whom ordered We know not and by whom
paid for we know not. They ,0ere not or
dered BY Gen. Grant or anybody rih him.
and he was responsible for their presence
no more than the Emperor Of the French.
The democratic guz.ted an undue proper
ton Of The liquors. and now they nave the
meanness to undertake to blacken the
great man who saved the nation for the
base purpose ss serving their partizan end,
which point direct 70 Rebel lion and Repu.
diation. Out on such contemplate scoun.
