MUNICIPAL ECONOMY.

We have no inclination to throw cold
water upon any scheme that presents a
reasonable prospect Of improving the
financial condition Of our corporation, and
in common with the public would be re.
ioiced to see our new Board of Trus-
tee. Of the town of Olympia" (Mayor
aud City Council, as they delight to
style themselvcs) succeed in their pro-
posed scheme of first obtaining Special
Authority by Act of Congress; aud Sec
ond of borrowing money under that
authority, at low interest, with which to
pay of the present Indebtedness, bearing
interest at the rate of one and half per
cent. per month. The scheme is not
without its difficulties, even under the
most favorable circumstances. Special leg.
islation by Congress can only be obtained
upon cogeut reasons; but supposing the
authority to borrow already granted, it is
still not SO certain that lenders could be
found even in the East, as is proposed,
who would take the chances of such secu-
rity as our prospects offer at lower rate
of interest than that which is common to
the country.
We write this for the purpose of sug-
costing to the Board that the two propo-
sitions now under its consideration, viz
TO inquire into the legality of the note
given by the town to the county for its
quit claim to the Public Square, and Sec
ond to receive nothing but lawful money
Of the United States in payment of town
taxes, are not calculated to elevate its
credit or to improve its prospects, when
it goes into the market with the act Of
Congress in its hand, proposing to bor-
row money at about onc-third the rate of
interest that the originators Of the scheme
ask and resolve for their own money on
unquestionable security.
1t is not necessary to inquire into the
competency Of the Council to say whether
the town will, or will not, pay the notes
in question, or that it will only take
lawful money of the United States in
payment Of municipal taxes. It will be
sufficient to destroy its credit, as it docs
that Of any individual or corporation, to
know that it is disposed to repudiate its
own paper. A refusal by the municipal
authorities to receive the towns paper in
payment Of taxes, without reference to the
question Of its power to enforce payment
in money, would be reputation of the
worst character, and would make its
paper SO useless that the Spectator
might buy it up at his own figures, to be
paid 10 full when the loan is negotiated.
Would this benefit the town or its people !?

GUNpowDER.-The Common Council
have passed an ordnance regulating the

THE NONPARIEL TELEGRAPH.

The application Of the telegraph to tho
various uses to which it is adapted, and tc
which it will ultimately be applied, is in
its infancy. As the simple principles upon
which it works, its chcapness, and the
ease aud facility with which a knowledge
Of the telegraphic alphabet may be
acquired become known, its use will
become more general and adapted to a
great variety of purposes. The Nonpariel
Telegraph will tend in great measure to
forward this result. Its cheapucss places
it within the reach of all, and its capacity
is ample to work lines of any length moi
exceeding FIVE miles.
The instrument is attached to base
AZ by 7 inches 10 size, with sounder
composed of single helix, key and switch
The battery is composed of glass jars
containing plate of lead, solution Of
sulpbate of copper, layer Of saw.dust
saturated with solution Of sulphate Of
zinc and zinc plate. These cups are
connected in the usual manner, and
remain in continuous action for weeks
with little attention.
A liue connects our dwelling and office,
to which pair Of Nonpariel souudorc are
attached, and our ten.year old boy, af'er a
months practice, sends and receives mes
sage with considerable accuracy and facil-
ity. The wire also extends to the house
Of neighbor, and every evening the
apparatus is in constant use by dozen or
more pupils of those who have already &C.
quired knowledge Of the rudiments of
telegraphy. 1t has proven to be never
failing source Of amusement, to old aud
young alike, convenience that anybody
acquainted with its merits will not willingly
be without, and a means of profit in
familiariziug "the rising generation" with
knowledge Of an interesting scientific
subject.
Its general introduction in all the minor
details Of business requiring speedy
communication, is but a question Of time,
and the demand for those skilled in the
manipulhtions of instruments affords an
inducement for the acquisition Of such
knowledge. We will cheerfully give any
information relating to the cost Of these
instruments aud the firm supplying them,
upon application personally or by letter.
