AN APPEAL TO REASON AND COuMO'

IN APPEAL TO REASON AND COMMON
SENSE.
. That enormous populations and rObberies
have swellod the Debt Of our City by not less
than Thirty Millions Of Dollars, is established
by testimony which is no longer seriously
questioned. The Committee of leading citi-
zens, invited by the Board of Aldermen act
ing as Supervisors to cooperate with COM
mttee of said Board in scrutinizng the Finan-
cial situation, report this, and no one even
seems to contradict them. That at least
so much has been stolen, is too clear to
be disputed; men doubt that A. or B. or C..
clutched his "rake" of the swag, but not that
the City has lost or thieves have taken the
full amount. And when the Committee of
Citizens said, "Let us proceed to call Inger-
"soll, and Garvey, and Connolly, and Tweed,
"etc before us, and try to ascertain how the
"plunder was divided" the Aldermen say
"NO; we cannot permit THU" 80 the investi'
CATION comes to a dead halt.
Now it is o part of the record that the Off
Gals through whose laxity or positive comfy
ance this vast amount has been lost to the
City are all Democrats. Watson, the Auditor,
on whose shoulders-since he is dead-much
of the blame is cast, was of that sort; 30 are
Tweed and Connolly; 80, since 1923, has
been Oakley Hall. Not a man elected by Re-
publican votes or appointed by Republican
Executive has been even accused of breach
of trust in the premises; while of all the con-
tractors and purveyOrs suspected of profting
by the fraud, but one John H. Keyser) was
ever a Republican, and he has stood aloof
from us for several years past while paying
heavy assessments to the Tammany Ring
and he is the only one who has made over
his property to secure the City from any loss
by his wrong, if wrong shall be proved against
him.
In full view of these facts, the People are
asked to elect Democratic State Officers and a
Democratic Legislature in order to rebuke
corruption and punish peculation.
Suppose this appeal be needed and Demo-
cractic triumph accorded, how is the promised
result to be achievedf
Hoffman will still be Governor: he is Gov
ernor now. Champlain will be Attorney-Gen-
eral, as at present, and Oakley Hall Mayor.
Are these the men to hunt the Ring robbers
into the State Prison and restore their spoils
to our plundered tax-payersf
If they are, Chf do ut .hey> do ~ The cleo
ton will give them no power that they have
not already. They are not likely to see an
hOnester Democrat in the Controllers Office than
Andrew II. Green. They have all the Judges
at this end of the State; they have the Dis
trict-Attorneyj they have the Corporation
Counsel and his department Of Justice" if
that is the name What can they do after
Election that they cannot do now if they
chOosei If they are ever going after the
robbers, official or other why do MT We see
them startf
Suppose the People so blind, SO mad, as to
give them the triumph they seek: Who does
not know that Tweed will be one of their

The invasion of the Fifth Ward, Brooklyn,
yesterday, by large detachment of Federal
"bayonets," may be the occasion for just such
another Outcry by the invaded as we have,
before now, heard from other plotters to be
let alone. Brooklyn is the special and faVOrite
haunt of the illicit distillers about New-YOrk,
and the large capture made on this raid, so
soon after similar one, only shows that the
love of whisky drinking is only equaled by
that for distilling whisky illegally.

when The Times says that its own wishes are

FIRE IN MENDoN.-O Thursday of
last week fire broke out in the woods
in Mendon about mile from the saw
mill of d. NJ White & Co. about eight
miles from Rutland. A number of men
Immediately went and put out the FIRE,
as they supposed, when they discovered
another FIRE in another direction raging
with much fury and running toward the
mill They Immediately ran for the mill
and surrounding buildings, and only got
there a moment ahead of the FIRE. The
mill, dwelling of Mr.. Ranger, and three
boarding houses Of the workmen and all
the other buildings were soon destroyed
with their contents. Mr.. Ranger, who
had charge of the mill, lost two hogs
and 100 hens, but succeeded in saving
his horses and cattle, although he was at
one time entirely surrounded with fire
and had to take them mile and half
to secure safety. From the saw mill the
only articles saved were few pieces of
machinery and betting which were put
in the brook Three thousand acres of
ground were burnt over and 1000 cords
of wood destroyed. The fire travelled
at fearful rate, and men could only
keep up with it at double quick. Loss
some $4,000. The mill and dwellings
were insured

CRIMINAL SHOOTING AT RUTLAND
Frank Richardson, bar tender at the
Stevens House in Rutland, was shot in
the bowels at about o'clock Saturday
morning. There are some hopes Of his
recovery, but the manner in which he
was shot was one of the most criminal
carelessness. 1t appears that he and All
bert Matthews had been called up by
police alarm and were chatting together
in the office of the Bates House, during
which Mathews got out an old pistol
which he continued to snap frequently,
and at the same time took great pleasure
in pointing it at his friend Richardson
because i&was not loaded, and further
more he knew all the while is was not
loaded, because it was an old thing and
he had played with it in the same way
many times before. Richardson finally
demonstrated with him for pointing ii at
him, and while uttefing the words of re-
monstrance, the old rusty piece of
blunderbuss, mot supposed to be loaded, "
exploded perhaps the 999th snap--the
ball entering the abdomen of Richardson
who staggered and exclaimed, albert,
you have given me my death wound"
He has a wife and two children who are
thus thrown into intense anxiety, as to
whether the husband and father are
longer to be spared to them.
