An Open Letter to Lutte A. Taylor

s
LUrE.-You and ! are old political corrup-
tionsts. trained in one ofthe first schools, with
as " hefty A" teacher as is often found in a
new country. I've been thinking of REFORM
ing.of late; what do you think, Lutte, would
it be advisable? You know that we have
been politically mean, done things that those
less hardened. would blush to think Of and
l rather like it, by nature, and think you
do. But am like Caser in some thin gs |:
l would rather bethe meanest man in the
9th Congressional district, than to be the sec.
ond meanest mak' in the United States.
But. Lutte. you are getting the better of me.
When you were here, in this little ruiz al town
1 could keep pace with you when you were
sober, but since you have emigrated to La
Crosse. you either get drunken, or have grown
meaner at a fearful rate. Lute must play
second fiddle. It's no use, / can't keep up
with you. must quit; must reform; can be
no second. must acknowledge you the
first-head and shoulders above all. Andy
johnson is no where with you. The old
man would blush if he knew one-half of
your m an political tricks, Have some res
pect for the old man. He threatened to take
off your head if you did not do his dirty
work. But that was meaner trick than
even Andy could do, bebead a subject holding
trifiing backwoods office. like yours. And
then. Lutte, you showed such tact, often
laugh when think Row you outwitted the
old fellow. 1t wasn't an hour after you got
the news of your removal before you were
drunken, if possible, than Andy was en- his
Inauguration day. That was too much for
him-he didn't have the heart to do it-you
were too apt scholar. e' 81
Then to think yon can cut off the head of
one holding Office under you tor an offence
you have been guilty of time'and again. Now
Lutte. his offense was not great. He only re-
fused to support John Comstock in obedience
to the instructions of those who sent him.
Had Flint been you or me he might have
done it with impunity for nothing better
would have been expected of us. But he is
a young mana stranger in strange
landt-had to do about right or it might
have cost him more than the assistant asses
orship. You should have made contract
as to the kind of duty required of him, then
You could have given him an :" Irish hoist ="
for violation and-but. hold, / am teaching
you, and that is unnecessary. You are mean
enohgh and so am I. Let us reform; sober
up; be honest; let each locality run its own
politics. ard we may yet live respectable. if
we cannot be respec ted. Yours truly.

The FRAMING PRIvILEGE.-For the
past wear or two some of the city pa
perS, such as the New York Tribune
and their kird, have been ventiIating the
Franking Privilege, and have worked M
such sentiment against il, that congress
has at last taken steps to abolish it. If
the privilege has been abused such abuse
should be corrected. But we suspect
that instead of desiring to- work econo
my, these would-be city newspaper mo-
nopOlies are only striving to cripple the
country press, as it now turns out that
the bull abOiishing the Franking Law also
provides for the payment of postage on
newspapers within the counties where
published, and also on exchanges. This
done. and great number Of the country
papers would be so badly crippled that
they would be forced to suspend, or their
circulation becomes so limited rs to make
them worthless. The city papers. foun-
ded upon capital, would then rake nice
harvest as it would increase their circuIa-
ton in the country districts, and create
for them what they now fail to control, a
monopoly of the newspaper business.
Our congressman should think twice be-
fore they second such selfish and pr
ratical scheme. rb5fs

j. G.. MATHEWS, of Hudson, has been
appointed Assistant Assessor of this dis
trict, vice r. ]. FLINT, removed. Mr..
MATHEWS is young man OF ability,
and one who will perform the Duties Of
that Office faithfully and web.
Many inquiries are being made rela-
tive to the cause of this removal, and the
reasons why such course was taken by
the appointing power. Lutte A. TAYLOR.
1t is good time to speak our piece, and
perhaps throw little light into some
dark corners that have been neglected in
time past. asrs--zsass-.--a.-sss---
The assistant assessorship was ten
dered 10 us without any solicitation on
our part. We accepted it, with thanks,
of course, expecting an honest and faith
full performance of its duties was all that
would, or could be required Of us. When
it became apparent we were expected to
league with and sustain I'll. A. Taylor
dS Co.. in all their political deviIty in re-
turn for this official favor, the assessor
ship ceased to be of any particular val.
ne tous. Upon this Office we had no
special claims, and had our removal
been for the purpose of bestowing it up
on some prominent aud deserving repub
lican, who, by reason of party fealty, or
political service, or more intimate ties of
personal friendship, or for any other le-
climate reason, we should have made no
further comment than to chronicle our
exit and announce our successor. But
no such reason prompted the act.
The only reasons we know of for our re-
nnoval are because we refused to vote for
JOHN CoMsToCK in the Senatorial Con
vention, and afterward refused to support
his fraudulent nomination. We incurred
the displeasure of Prince Taylor of Hud-
son, by claiming the right to vote for
whom we pleased in that convention,
support the rightful nominee as zoe saw
it, and expose bis political rottenness
during the canvass so that everybody
wit. The exercise of this preroga-
tive did not find favor in his sight at all,
and TIM, young upstart" must have his
wings clipped. If the Office of Assis-
tant Assessor would not count vote
when wanted there must be new DEAL
Not being of that high order of intel
lect required to renounce former pledges,
and sell out our friends-we could not
fill the bill with that (un)scrupulous ex-
aetness which Prince Horace deemed the
interests Of particular friends demanded.
Hence, we may consider ourself removed
for incapaeity.
This removal has been brewing some
time, and some correspondence has
passed between us and Lutte A. TAYLOR
relative to the matter. We print such
portions of it rs relate to this subject
excluding parts, abiding only to private
business. AS it is claimed to be a "pub-
lie and political matter of which every
one has cognizance," we deem il no
wrong to give the public the benefit of
the information it contains: We ex-
tract as follows:
