These securities belonged to special depos-
itors They were IN TIN boxes, locked up
in a great safe, Is a great big vault.
One box contained sixty thousand dollars
IN United States bonds, locked up here to
escape taxation.
That little box and its contents earned
the owner thereof ten thousand dollars a
year. 1t earned him the labor Of ten men
a year at two dollars per day each. 1t
cost him no trouble He lives like lord
at q fashionable hotel, and when he wanted
money, all he had to do was to go to the
bank, cut oft the interest coupons and
draw bis gold. lie did not pay ore cent
year of taxes Not even penny to pay
for L e policemen who are now looking for
the burglars
That little tin box sitting there in vault

The owner OF that little box was rich day
before yesterday. He rode in his carriage,
and made dirty little children get out of
the way. lie drank wine, and hired q
Niger to tan him at an up town hotel.
The Government protected him, and be
wa happy. His shirt was unwrnkled.
his little hands were soft, and be smiled
SO sweetly on the harlots and conuubines of
b0ndholders we almost euyied him his

TWeeZers.

That guardian of the public veal, has
again came to life, in last weeks Tribune,
and in his old style, makes one of his ia
vorite passes at our sheriff, Z. MulhoI-
Jaud Esq, charging him with making a
slight mistake" in his charge, in some
criminal case, tried before Police Justice
Shove.
Now, we have not examined the record
in Mr.. Shoves Office, to see if the states
ment of Mr.. "Tweezers, are true. But
If our sheriff has made any illegal charges
Whereby any man has been wrong
cd he should refund the amount received
by him, III excess Of the legal charges in
the case. Perhaps Mr.. Mulholland in
making up his bill of costs in the case,
copied IRON the bills OF his predecessors in
Office. Mr.. 'Iweezers" suppose you look
the thing up. Or shall we look it up for
you You are invited in the name of the
people Of this county, to come forward,
and work up, and expose and prosecute
every case OF dishonesty, perpetrated by
any public officer upon the rights and mon
ey oft he people. But do not conine
yourself to single officer, overhaul them
al the old officers as well as the present,
Democrats and Republicans, and do this,
publicly, openly, and de6an tly. And ev-
cry honest man in the county will stand by
you. You will then become a terror ito
wrong doers. You will then embalm
yourself in the hearts Of your fellow men,
and then, you can be elected sheriff, and
we will make a new ''Tweczers" to watch
you.
But seriously, hlr. ''Tweczers,' you have
done great deal of good in your way, and
We really admire your style and manner of
rebuke to erring county officials, and the
PILOT would be happy to become the me-
dunn through which to fire your shots.
We have double the circulation of any 9TH
er English paper in the county, and there
fore have longer range than the Tribune
We wilLsend your shots crushing and tear

dishonest public officer, District Attorney

officer has violated the trust reposed in hin,

Tue CONCERT. The concert given by
Mr. Martin FIcischer, assisted by Prof
Beiling ana others, of the Turner Hall, on
the evening of Saturday last, afforded the
first opportunity given to the people of
Manitowoc, to hear the young yiolinist
since his return from his studies in Eu
rope, and called out very fair audience.
Tbs young performer acquitted himself
with credit, playing with remarkable ease,
smoothness ard precision. 1t is seldom
indeed, that SO clear, full, accurate and
smooth tone is heard from this most
wonderful of all instruments combined with
such a neat and finished execution, as
came from hands of Mr.. Fleischer on this
occasion. His style eyinces severe study
and training, and gives promise that in
the future development Of his musical soul
and individuality he will ye. take high
rank as violinist. We are not musician
enough to be able to Justly criticise the PER
tormances of the several pieces com uprising
the programme of the evening, which was
made up of selections from the best of
musical authors, and were each handsome
ly executed and warmly applauled Pro-
tessor Weipscnank however, was missed
being absent on account OF sick ness, but
his place on the programme was supplied
by Paul Biersach, Eq., from Milwaukee,
who sang two German songs with fine eff.
feet, and to an encore treated the audience
to novelty by whistling the Mocking
Bird to his own accompaniment on the
piano, which brought down the house
Another favor not down on the bill was Civ
en- us through the agency of our jovial
and public spirited friend, DR.. Simon, who
called upon Geo. W. techter Esq, for
a defamation. Mr.. F. responded by speak
ing Scholars Hoffnupg, with elegant ges-
ticuation and brilliant effect. IS whole,
the entertainment was marked success
and gave high satisfaction. After the
concert was over, the young folks had
dance, but we being afflicted with corns,
could not stay to enjoy It's may whirl and
left those who had sound pedals to hop,
skip and sweat, and so came home, weli
satisfied with our evenings enjoyment.
