Is not only untrue put is wiiliul ana ma
llclous ialsehood, Tor always voted Tor lib
erty men TIL ISIS, Tor Frcesoilers I'LL 1856,
ana LOT hcpuollcans I'LL THIS hour, and never
uttered Pro.sayery sentiment or cast pro-
slavery ballot, IL may be proper, however,
to add, that while l have always respected
party realty, never have ignored the right
Of private Judgment and conscience TO such
a degree as to coercc political associates by
threats, CLUBS, stones and other deadly
weapons TO vote the regular nominations
noleIS rolens, and In this connection / most
cheerfully confess to the "soft impeach-
ment" that at the last election scratched
q. Albert Hall, an excellent man and Re.
publican, for alderman, and not for W. II.
Chase, political lickspittle. of this be
treason, make the most Of It,"
In answer to the third charge, will state
that the resolutions were introduced for the
honor and benefit OF the Second ward Repub'
leans, by the timely depreciation of fear
ful and bloody mob and riot, with the belief
that no objection could be urged against
their passage. But 1t appears from Mr..
Chase's statement that the Republicans pres
ent were prejudlced against the man, and
therefore voted down the principle, thus prov
Ing themselves as stupid as the alderman.
ms statement OF Mr.. Chase Is an indlgnlly
and an outrage upon his constituents, for he
adds to their ignorance and prejudice the
sanction OF a terrible mob. IL such mon arc,
par ereettenee, the Republican party, then Its
condemnation is certain and sealed. But
know that the great party Of human progress
VIII live long after the jackals that give 1t
chase shall have persisted.
As the alderman has had his say In his
public way, will close, Mr.. Editor, with the
'NeosN'toh Nh'iSSo aiC iNloc
malicious, while ! must beg pardon for vast
Ing so much Ink and paper on SO small q
subject.

"PRo Bono PuBLico."-.Mr. Editor: Com
plants have lately been published In several
New York and Washington papers In regard
| to tho DlnsiDH Of the DrDunhs snnth pf N
Executive Mansion. An article, signed by u
Waterman, appeared In the Ecening Star
some time ago which was entirely erroneous.
The grounds have lately been and are closed
to the public. Ladies who desire q short
rest on the benches which stand SO inyltingly
In the shade, have been ordered out. Cen
tlcmen passing through have been compelled
to go down In the muddy extension. There
arc many reasons for the "growls" which
have been heard, as yet no official reason
has been given us to the closing up of n
promenade place that has heretofore been
! considered public. The policeman on guard
states that improper persons have been found
under suspicious Circumstances In full view
oil the Executive Mansion. This only shows
great neglect on the part OF the watchmen,
and II they are not competent to enfore order,
that fault should at once be rcmcdiedi but
his method to punish u whole community for
80 o"N ~ " i"N'''"uuiS, 20 uhpaiuonaulc'
Let us hope that more liberal and gener-
Gus policy towards the public may in future
govern the actions OF those having the
supreme control OF these matters.

uhEkN FRUIT : one OF the greatest
dangers OF heaith which the authorities have
10 contend against In the summer time Is the
green fruit business. Contend against 1t
they do, as lar as advice and learned digcsts
on the effects OF too hearty meal OF unrlpc
apples arc concerned, but further than this
they 40 not so 10 protect the unwary. 1t Is
awell known fact that every dlarrh9a or
cholera morbus breaks out almost like an
epidemic In the city at the same time, and 1t
has been noticed that the diseases first begin
TO rage with more than usual violence ex-
actly at the period when green fruit Is first
brought to tho markets.
During the past few days the business In
nnripe iruit has been carried on quite extern
slyely by the merchants, male and female,
whose warehouses arc confined to the shaky
stands erected along the curbstoncs, and no
one need De surprised, therefore, to hear Of
cholera morous or some disease equally
agreeable making Its appearance In certain
