Our sister city thoroughly understands
now now to get up a crowd when important
business has to be done, and no better
ldea could have occurred than that which
eliminated yesterday in holding a meetinn

power which one day will turn AZ man man

Il the Man Insane !

Since our late little lamented post mas
ter was kicked out of the post Office by Mr..
Hawley he has manifested most unusual
disregard for the truth, and the decencies of
journalism, and it has required good deal
of our valuable space to correct his false
hoods. There seems to be a method in
his madness. He acts upon the principle
that "a lie well stuck to is just as good as
the truth" When detected and exposed
in falsehood he never corrects it, but
leaves his readers (such as never see any
other paper to believe the lie. Not long
ago he stated that p. L. Mitchell called on
Mayor Davenport and offered to pay up his
(MitchelPs) back taxes of 1871 on the ba-
sis of the Philleo assessment and that he
actually rendered Mayor Davenport the
money. There was not one word Of truth
in the statement, and we exposed its falsi-
ty at the time and showed that the very
opposite was TIE truth, viz Mayor Dav-
export urged Mr. Mitchell to pay up, on
the same basis the circuit court decided
others should pay-the basis Of the Phil
leo assessment, and Mitchell refused to do
so Yet the Union never corrected its
falsehood.
To-day the Union invents another false
hood. Abiding to our article upon the
Orleans street improvement, that paper
says of Mayor Davenport:
This Is about the only street work he has vet
done aud this would never have been attempted ii
Murdock hadn't provided the rock aud hauled them
TO the spot
Any one who knows the facts, knows
that this is not true Murdoch, with an
entire lack of foresight in regard to the
needs of our people, hauled rock upon the
next street south-Rock River street, and
macadamized that street up to a place
where there was no outlet and where the
work could do nobody any good. 1t was
wholly useless for the purpose of getting to
or from the new depot, and in that light
was money thrown away If he had put
that rock on Orleans it would have made a
] gpou lpb lEOtu htsSiidl W tiiC uOpot hSp'
people out ot-the mud from the very open
ing of the depot, and saved the people al
the cost of the expenditure which Mayor
Davenport has been obliged to make in or
der ,hat they may get to and from the de
pot. And now, when Mayor Davenport
has got this big job nearly done, and the
sidewalks in fair way of completion the
Little Blonde says he never would have
attempted the job if Mayor MurdocL
hadn't hauled the rock to the spot He
says:
/ After delay Of over three mouths Bailey Davrn
. port has at last managed to get the rock on Or
leans street broken which were bought aud haule'
there by Mayor Mu.dock.
This statement is not true but, on The
contrary, it Murdoch had macadamizeC
. Orleans instead of Rock River no expeudi
ture would now have been needed at all
and the people could have kept that mucl
money in their pockets which, by Muir
dock ; bad management, must now b,
drawn out of their pockets in order t,
make a passable road to the new depot

NJ. ago Judge Guyer tour county
ooHecided that drunkenness was M
q Use for intoxicatjon !" We published
mis- decision at the time it was made but
understand that, in a recent case. the
learned Judge reversed this decision and
that he now holds that ''intoxication /, an
excuse for drunkenness. No one need be
surprised at this when it is remembered
that on the same day and on exactly the
same state of facts he decided that Hull
was not, and the G., r. |. &P.R.R Co
was, liable for the taxes laid upop
tne Illegal water works assessment of 1871. |
When a judge decides both ways on the
same case he is liable to be right once in a
while-by accident.

MONDAY, Aug. 25-P. NJ.
The stock market exhibited considerable strength
in the early dealings and general improvement in
prices followed what may be considered in a dull
season fair buying throughout the list. Pacific
Mail and Western Union Telegraph led the specula-
tion the former advancing from 43 to Az and the
latter from s9l to 90 The former stock is supposed
10 have been benefited in its upward course by the
purchase of considerable quantities of stock to
cover short contracts. Lake Shore n. Y. Central.
Rock Island Union Pacific and g., c. and l. q. were
firm at an advance of to per cent.
In the afternoon there seemed to be
a disposition to realize accrued prohts
on Pacific Mail, and the price receded to 4Ss, the
remainder Of the list dropping from to per cent
from the highest point OF tine day. Union Pacific
was prominent in the break late in the day, selling
down from p to 2G!. Western Union also declined
to 90. The investment shares were quiet, and mis-
cellaneous and express stocks steady. The fol-
lowing were the opening, highest, lowest and clos
ing prices OF leading stocks sold to-day:
