THE CANAL AGAIN DIsABLED-Two gates
went out at lock No. IS, about twelve miles
above here, yesterday, and one mitre sill at

navigation Is entirely suspended and no boats
are arriving. 1t is hoped that the gates and
mitre sill will be replaced by this evening.
THE MILLS ran most all day yesterday and are
running again to-day, thanks to the late rain,
which increased the bulk of water in the canal.

sales of 800 bushels of fair red wheat yesterday
after change, at Si4S. There were no receipts
to-day on account Of the interruption Of canal

Refutaiion Of the Statements of the
Committee of the Taxpayer
Association.

In the report Of the committee OF the Tax
payers Association, made at the meeting Of the
association last night, that committee say
bluntly % tina. they have found, upon inquiry,
that the pretended excuse of the Governor for
refusing 10 the opponents of the fOur-milliOn
bill a representation upon the board of regis
tratiOn, to wit That he had been applied IN by
the democratic organization to give the demo-
cratic party representation upon said board
must be wholly unfOunded in fact"
That the public may judge whose statements
in this connection are Z" unfounded in fact" we
print the following communication from a we'll
krown democratic citizen and taxpayer, of
this District; and If tie committee do not recog-
niLe the initials, and wish To know his name
they can be furnished with il on application at

wait on Gov. Cooke 10 request of him the ap-
poIEtme NJ of one of its members 70 represent
their interests in the board Of registration sub
mltted 20 the association at their meeting last
night. great injustice has been done to Gov.
Cooke, (UnntentiOnally, perhaps)
The jackson Democratic Association has
never, as an association, taken part in our local
elections. The democratic and conservative
executive committee represents the party in the
District OF Columbia in its local elections. 1t
has not disEanded, as stated. but is subject TO
the call Of its chairman, Col. u. G.. Berret, who,
IN person, presented TO Gov. Cooke their Pc
titiCE, unanimously signed by Its members, re-
QCeStiDg of the Governor the appointment OF "a
certain citizen To represent their interests in the
beard Of registration.
Gov. Cooke was presented at the same time a
Petition signed by the democratic members of
our Legislature, requesting the appointment of
me same person 20 represent their interests in
the board of registration. CTS
We need only add to the above tina. the per
son whose appointment was thus requested is a
democrat IN politics, pays $40 taxes annually,
and was for six years assessor of the Second
Ward. which made it his duty to make out the
IOli-llst OF that ward.
