FINANCIAL.-An attempt on the part of
money brokers to decrease the value of city
certificates and police warrants may prove
a twO-edged sword. All sorts of absurd
statements are made to run down the
| prices, but holders should not heed the
tales. This scrip is as good or better to-day
| than ever before, and there is no reason
why it should not rate at near par. The
fact that the regular time fOrspaying taxes
| is up does not affect the value of warrants,
for all who owe taxes must pay at some
time, and they can use this paper.
Fourteen butchers from the POydras and
Pile markets were fined ten dollars each
by Recorder Houston for violating city or
dinance No. 787. The lesson taught is a
good one, and butchers in other markets
should make note of it aud carefully read
the ordinance.
There was regular rush in the City
Hall yesterday of slow taxpayers Clerks
were kept moist throughout the en- tire day
and last night by gas light.
THE BRUTE.-DAvid Williams, alias Nor
man, the man who attempted to murder the
ttatbOatman Humphreys on the night of the
eleventh ultimO, for the purpose of robbing
him of a small sum of money, was exam ined
by Recorder Houston yesterday, and sent
to the Criminal Court Humphreys head
was badly crushed, as if by a stave, and his
skull was broken. He has been in the
Charity Hospital ever since, and has partly
recovered from his wounds, but he has lost
bis hearing, probably forever. His head
still shows signs of the beating.

SEVENTH WARD REPUBLICANs.-Judg
from appearances, the Republicans of the
seventh ward, comprising both the regular
and CustomhOuse parties, are incline to
unite their forces. At the last regular meet
ing of the mother club, under the iuri

mittee of the regular Republican party

respectfully and attentively to the speech of
Senator Campbell, while the two presidents
sat side by side, exhibiting the utmost cor
diality and good feeling One of their num-
Der was also invited to address the club.
His address was well received by the men,
bers. The club changed its night of meet
ing in order to enable members of both or
CARNATIONS to visit each other at their regu.
lar meetings, This is the spirit that is cul-
tivated in the seventh ward, the bitterness
that has existed yielding to desires for the
welfare of the party. Lieutenant Governor
Pinchback, being indisposed, could not re.
main, and, after giving the club some good
advice relative to the pending political is
sue, retired from the hall.

A FALSE ALARM AND A DESTRUCTIVE
FIRE.-Early on Wednesday morning an
alarm of fire was rung from the second
precinct, Robin street police station, bring
ing all the engines at once to the spot,
when it was discovered that the alarm was
caused by chimney in the rear of the
premises No. POI AnnunciatiOn street, near
Race, owned and occupied by Mr., BOnet
which had been extinguised by the officer
m the beat before the alarm had been
Eek.
" femDo2 the engines had unhitched and the

Commissied at over $4,000.
Goll"ts originated in the showcase of the
eigbtsods store of Mr.. Cohen, No l78
six nne street, and was supposed to be the
cirk of an incendiary.
The building is owned By Mr.. Dimitry,
. and was damaged to the amount of $1,000.
Mr. Cohen's stock and furniture, which
were totally destroyed, was valued at $780,
900, covered by an insurance of Sll 900 in
various companies.
The fire thence extended to the millinery
store Of Mrs Forester, which was dam
aged to the extent of $780, not insured.
Hence the flames extended to the hair store
of Mr.. MOriarty, which was damaged to the
extent of $3.50.
Chief Engineer O'COnnOr had his force
on hand as soon as possible under the cir
cumstances. and, aided by the police under
Sergeant Lawler, succeeded, after the
greatest exertions, in preventing the
spread of the confagratiOn, which at first
seemed to threaten the entire block, such
had been the Roadway it had gained.
1t is stated by Corporal Hammer sIy, who
turned in the alarm, that had any of the
engines in the vicinity been at their houses
at the time the fire was first discovered,
1t might have been extinguished, but before
their arrival from the other alarm it had
gained such Roadway that it was impossible

plant is raised by iremen in the matter

tons, no one should lever turn in an alarm

1t is stated by Colonel Badger that he
has frequently caused stupid policemen to J
be sent before the Police Board for turning
in false alarms of fire, but we have yet to
hear Of any man being dismissed the force
for this most serious Ofense. On the con
trary, they usually escape with light

The following, from the Port
Huron Commercial, will show what
the people of his former home
think of our candidate for Prosecu-
ting Attorney:
Mr.. w. +. Atkinson, formely
of this city, has been nominated by
the Liberals of Alpena county for
Prosecuting Attorney. We are
pleased to note this evidence of the
esteem in which our young towns
man is held in his new home. He
grew up and was educated in Port
Huron /; here all the associations
of his boyhood were formed; from
here, he went out at the call of his
country to take his place among
her defenders, and here he returned
after the vicissitudes of the strug-
gle were over. He is a young man
of industry and talent, with unex-
ccptional habits,and good character.
He has the elements of good
lawyer, and deserves to succeed i'm
his profession. To the young and
thriving town Of Alpena he has
gone to make his permanent home.
May good fortune attend him.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1872-10-22

has been declared feasible for such
purpose, and the surveys have
proved unsatisfactory; and while
it is desirable that one or a dozen
harbors of protection should be es-
tablished on the shores of Lake
Huron, we believe that the necessi-
ty of such an one at Port Austin is
unquestionable. Not lacking in
natural advantages, the cost ofsuch
an undertaking would be small in
comparison to the cost at Other
points on the lake which have re-
ceived some considerable looking
to this end. Extending into the
lake at this point in half semi
circle, something like four miles, is
the Port Austin Reef, coming to
within four feet of the surface, be-
ing at present one of the most
dangerous and much dreaded reefs
in the vicinity, but which might be
utilized to form most convenient
and safe harbor of refuge. The
reef would form substantial foun-
dation for an effectual breakwater.
There being extensive quarries on
the shore near at hand, the cost of
material and transportation would
be comparatively nothing at all, and
it is believed that an appropriation
of 100000 would be sufficient to
perfect the work. With such
brealwater harbor would be
formed, easy of access, which would
afford protection to over hundred
vessels. Once inside, the anchor
age, an important consideration, is
of the most substantial character,
the bottom for the most part COM
posed of solid blue clay, and of the
many times in which this desidera-
tum has been put to the test, even
in the severest storm, in no instance
has any vessel been known to drag
her anchor. The matter will un-
doubtedly be brought to the atton-
ton of Congress at its coming ses-
sion.

Michigan GRANTEES Alarmed

Within day or two we have OBJ
tanned information, upon reliable
authority, that the Grant State
Committee of Michigan are alarm
ed at the large number of Republic
cans whom their canvass shows
have deserted the party and identi-
fed themselves with the Tihnral
movement. They ascertain that
the class of men who have thus far
openly declared for Greeley are
those who have heretofore welded
large influence in their party-rep-
resentative men in their respective
communicative are certain to
carry o large number of voters with
them whom the Grant managers cs-
innate have counted for the Grant
ticket. The State Central Commit
tee are looking the canvass care
fully over, and taking these facts
into consideration, find just cause
for apprehension Of the result in
November. Grant activity has con-
sequently prevailed at the commit
tee headquarters in Lansing, and
extensive preparations are being
made to counteract, as far as posi-
BILE, the substantial progress which
the Liberal movement has made
since the Baltimore Convention
They have sent for Blaine, for Bout
well and others, to come to the res
cue at the earliest possible moment.
With the assistance of these men
they hope to prevent to some ex-
tent any extraordinary reduction OF
their heretofore majority, or at all
events save their ticket from de-
feat which the result of their can.

A narhOr Of Refuge.

The Huron County Ne,cs, in a
lengthy article, gives some account
of the terrible effects of the recent
storm in that vicinity. Within
radius of sixty miles, during the
continuance of that one storm,
some twenty vessels were either
sunk or stranded, and men to the
number of forty or fifty found wa
terry graves. A large number of
other vessels narrowly escaped the
fate which overlook the more un-
fortunate ones, and the loss of prop
erty, though second in Importance
to the loss of life, involves many
thousands of dollars, though there
are no means at present of estima-
ting the extent with any degree Of
accuracy.
After thus briefly recounting the
extent of the disaster on Saginaw
Bay the Ne,cs earnestly urges the
necessity of a harbor of refuge at
some port in that vicenity. After
leaving the Straits of Mackinaw
there is no point in the entire length
Of the lake which affords compare
tive protection of vessels which may
be caught in a storm. 1t is well
known that great numbers of yes
sells are thus caught every fall, and
it is also well known that at no
point on Lake Huron are those
storms more severe and dangerous
to shipping than in the region of
Saginaw Bay. To some extent
land-locked, the opposing currents
of wind which come sweening from
the land and those which sweep
over the lake meet, seemingly, at
the mouth of the bay, and the ter
rible consequences of their force
are attested in the annual annals of
our lake commerce. And at no
point has so little been done
for the protection of commerce and
the safety Of life of those who ego
down to the sea in ships"
Considerable money has been
expended at Au Sable with q view
of affordiding protection to passing
vessels at that point, but no vessel
dare run the risk Of attempting to
get into the narrow channel be-
tween the docks during a storm,
and the expenditures have been
useless and the design of making a
harbor of protection at that point
has been demonstrated to be i'm
practicable. Numerous surveys
have been made for the purpose of
! locating such harbor below Sag
NAV Bay, but thus far nor point

ed. Then came the name of Jas
Mcdonald, a man whom every per-
son in this township know to re-
side eight miles distant, and in Al
coma county.
II is to be understood that the
manufacture of votes is becoming
highly necessary, when JAS. Nc
Donald is induced to move into
the township of Ossineks within
the time allowed by law, so that he
may be enabled to cast vote for
whom-Useless Grant and Wilson.
As for Duncan McKellup, he did
attend the public meeting of the
Grant and Wilson club, and did,
during the unguarded moment,
subscribe himself as member, and
accept Vice Presidency, but at
ter mature consideration the old
gentleman concluded it was a Gree
ley and Brown club he wanted to
Join, as he is a Liberal Republican
and intends to support all the can
didates on that ticket, from Horace
Greeley down to the coroners, so
there is but very poor show for
the correspondent of the Pioneer to
officiate as Chief Butler, or even
stuff the people of Alpena that he
is the main stay of the Grant and
Wilson club of Ossineke, for it has
already sunk into oblivion, and may
it be written on its tomb, that kna-
very killed it and treachery
brought it to an untimely end.

can be safely counted for Greeley
and Brown"
The st. Louis Republican says
"Nissouri is safe for $4,000 ma
jority for Greeley and Brown
1t is estimated that of the $4,000
officeholdcrs under Grant, at least
10000 are on the stump, working
to save their bread and butter.
Secretary Boutwell, denies that
he is after Henry Wilson's seat
He thinks it will be time to COM
mence wire-pulling after Wilson
gets something better, of which
there is yet a doubt.
The President only made four
grammatical errors in the first thir-
teen lines of his message. He is
steadily improving in district school
education.
Grant papers are chasing Illinois
among the "doubtfuP States, and
are giving Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Indiana to the Democracy.
A Grant paper at Quincy, ILL.,,
suggests that if some omnibus
would be kind enough to run over
General Logan, Grants chances in
that State would jump ten per cent.
in a minute.

Johnson of never having appointed

The only negro who ran for any
office on any ticket in Ohio was a

and the GRANTEES laid him out as

Moses w. Field asks the Ger
mans and Irish to vote for him, and
yet his newspaper organs have not

The Chicago Times knows of
twenty-three Democrats in that
city who won't vote for Greeley
The Times has labored against
Greeley ever since he was nomina-
ted, and this may be accepted as
the result of its influence.
Cameron's visit to Grant was
made for the purpose of telling him
that every officeholder in Penn
sylvania who supported Buckalew
should be removed. Grant replied
that they should.

Political Scraps.

The Liberal Republicans and
Democrats of Jackson held a grand
demonstration Tuesday evening in
honor of the victory in Indiana and
the gains in Ohio.
The Liberal ticket i'm Arkansas
which is being itemized as with
drawn, is the ticket put up by the
GRANTEES, and not the genuine Dem
ocratic-Liberal ticket.
The Democrats and Liberals in
Ohio are re-organizing, forming
new clubs, and moving on with new
vigor.
Postmaster Creswell will report a
deficiency" as soon as Congress
meets. The deficiency comes about
from using the mails to forward
hundreds of tons of Grants cam.
paign documents.
The Philadelphia Age says that
the population Of that city has de.
creased about $1,000 since election
The Nation says that "the Garnt
party is willing to take back Schurz
Trumbull, Sumner and all the 9th.
CT renegads." Yet there are Grant
journals who persit in saying tina,
the loss of these men is no loss.

Mr.. Hitchcock, though coming into
the Pioneer prescribed class of car
pet baggers, not having got ac-
quainted with every one before he
came here, and intending to leave if
he ever wanted to, is good citizen
and just popular enough to be
beaten by Mr.. Cavanagh.
For Treasurer, Mr.. Hopper got
every vote in the convention. Treas
ury matters need overhauling and
the people would like to know how
matters stand, but as Mr.. Hopper
isn't the kind of a man to do it, the
people should see that he is beaten,
and Mr.. Towle, who will tell us how
our affairs are, is elected.
Next came the Register of Deeds
and Mr.. Brakenreed, of the town
ship was selected as a victim.
After the Register was nomina-
ted the crowd Strengthened up, as
they expected some fun on Prose
cutting Attorney, but deluded be-
ings, the caucuses had all been
packed for Mr.. Holmes, and he got
eighteen out of twenty-five
votes, Mr.. Stevens getting the re-
naming seven. This was so clear
ly a put up job, that the friends OF
Mr.. Stevens, by far the most nu-
merous in the audience and in the
convention if the delegates, had
dared to express their own senti-
ments, felt most decidedly mad, and
growls both long and deep, were
heard. Well, Holmes is a good
natured fellow, and may get to be
a lawyer sometime.
J. B. Tuttle was nominated for
Circuit Court Commissioner.
The candidates for Coroners,
Messrs. Mr.. McSorlcy and Marshall,
are like our own candidates, nice
light men against whom no well
regulated dead man can have any
objection.
Last, but in the opinion of the
candidates first, came the nominal
ton for Surveyor, and on the an
nouncement of one of the delegates
that Mr.. Tefft was candidate for
any Office, that brilliant woodsman
got the nomination. We advise
his friends never to leave him in
the woods or they'll lose him sure.
This ended the labors of con-
vention, the delegates of which,
with a few exceptions, had been
picked by one not over worthy
wirc-puller, who, by plentiful use
of cheek and most energetic but
tonholing, managed to get every
one of his favorites nominated.-I
