The Democrats of Knox County wanted to
get hold of the offices there for that very pur-
pose, and in two years they have doubled the
expenses. In New Hampshire the Conserva-
tives also had patriotic designs of the same
kind, but they at once greatly increased the
expenses. In New York, the Democratic
stronghold of the country, the reformers
through the public officers have stolen sums
of money that would serve as the revenue of
an Empire. The Democratic constituency Of

lature Immediately after their thefts were dis
covered, but it is now probable that they will
go to the prison instead.

Probable Decrease Of Taxation.

The argus ought to have delayed its annual
statement about the 'extravagance" of the
municipal administration till after the posi-
bility of a contradiction was past. Here is
the certified Misrepresentation: .-,.-.
1t is understood to be the fact and we pre-
sumo there is no doubt of it, that the taxation
of two and half per cent. the past year has
not been nearly sufficient to pay current ex-
penses, and that the temporary debt incurred
this year, with the interest upon it, must be
included in the taxation the coming year, (of
course raising the rate) unless it should be de-
cided to COON piling up the city debt, which
we trust the coming city government will be
wise enough not to do. Let it of all expen-
ditures that can be reasonably avoided, and
then let us raise enough by taxation to defray
current expenditures and cancel a small part
of the public burden. That is the policy die
tated by wisdom and economy. Let us elect
city government that will fearlessly and
wisely carry it into effect. et wFIwl q
Now mark how complete and overwhelm-
ing is the refutation Of this charge. The tax
OF two and half per cent. the past year-a
mill on dollar less than the year before-has
furnished the means to pay the current ex-
penses and to reduce the debt $4,000! A
further reduction of $4,000 would have been
made had it not been for the appropriation
for the marginal way" for which the Demo-
Gratis of the City Council deserve equal credit
with their Republican associates. We under
stand that it will be possible to reduce the city
tax the coming year still further. If this hope
is realized Republicans will be able to point
with just pride to the fact that under their
management national, state and municipal
taxes are steadily reduced

Card from Mr.. Sweeney.

Editors Of the Register:
wish to say word or two in reply
to the letter of A. X. Robinson, ESQ.,
which you publish this morning, and
which your courtesy, at my request,
permitted me to see previous to its in
sertion in your paper. Mr.. Robinson
quotes from the Mtslhgsncer report Of
nv conversation with Mr.. Becker and
remarks that "as professional man
he will venture to say that Mr.. Sweeney
may have mistaken the purport of Mr.,
Beckers communication and in proof
Of his assumption gives as the result OF
two months service in running the line
of the Wheeling and Lake Erie road as
far as Sandusky, his opinion that the
eastern end OF the line will exceed Gin
cost $4,000 per mile and the west,
ern end will fall below that
sum. As an average it is q
fair price" Mr.. Robinson is the en-.
gineer running The line, anu no doubt
has made his estimate. of cost from
knowledge obtained in that service,
and evidently refers only to the cost of
construction exclusive Of locomotives,
cars, depot, buildings and equipments,
while the price agreed to be paid to Mr.
Wilson, the New York finsncier, is to
cover and pay for a full complement OF
locomotives, cars, &c, &c. needed by
q frst-class road. II
This being the case it would not
seem that "Mr. Sweeney may have mis-
taken the purport of Mr.. Beckers COM
municstion," as the $4,000 per mile
includes twenty locomotives and run
ning-stock sufficient to use them to their
full capacity, as Mr.. Becker and |
both fully understand the case.

Editors of the Register:

wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad
Editors of the Register:
Ny attention has just been directed
to the following extract from a reported
interview between Mr.. Thomas Swee'
ney and Mr.. Becker, the engineer, on
the subject Of the Wheeling and Lake
Erie railroad, which | ask your courtesy
to remark upon:
Mr.. Sweeney, it seems, fell IN with
Mr.. Becker on a railway cal" aud is
made to say:
81 desired to know something Of the
practicability of the Wheeling and
Lake Erie railway project and after
some casual conversation ! asked him
if he knew anything about it. He said
yes; that he had examined it at the in.
stance of Mr.. Scott; that these Hope.
dale parties had made a similar propo.
sition 10 Mr.. Scott to the one made to
these New Workers, and that Mr.. Scott
referred the proposition to him with
instructions to examine and report; that
he had found there was nothing in 1t;
that it would not pay, and that Mr.;
Scott had abandoned it. | then asked
him what he thought it could be built
for per mile. He said he didn't know
certainly, but that it would be an ex-
expensive road. l asked him if it
could be built for $4,000 mile. He
Just booted at the idea; said it was non
sense to talk about it. 1t could not be
built for anything like it. That was the
substance OF our conversation; 1t was
pretty nearly in those words"
As a professional man, | will venture
to say that Mr.. Sweeney may have
mistaken the purport of Mr.. Beckers
communication. / base my inference
on the fact that | have been over every
foot of that portion OF the proposed
Wheeling and Lake Erie line, from
this city to Sandusky, and necessarily
held intercourse with nearly all the
people on and near the line, without
once having heard Of Mr.. Becker
having run or explored it by line.
No engineer would or could form
an opinion as to the cost of such work,
without having some data to go upon.
| don't mean to say that a practical
railway man cannot arrive at pretty
close approximate estimate of the cost
of a given line Of railway before sur
vey and location are actually made;
but what say is, that from the facts as
stated by Mr.. Sweeney, it does not ap'
pear reasonable or probable that Mr..
Becker ever made such an examlna-
ton of the route in question as to en-
able him to pronounce his ipse Dirt as
to the impossibility Of the line being
built for $1,000 a mile. HE just
hooted at it" says Mr.. Sweeney.
Well, have to say that have spent
near two months in running the line as
far as Sandusky, and have found the
route unexpectedly favorable for con-
structon and operation, even through
the billy country near the Ohio river.
Here is table Of gradients.
