Messrs. A. Liddell and Jno. Summer
lin came in from Rayville Wednesday
in rather novel style. They rugged up
a boat, not with sails and spars, but
with car wheels made of wood. Upon

and wheels, and upon land the wheels
carried the boat. 1t was push some
times, and pull at Others.
These gentlemen report total fall at
Crew Lake of % inches; at Rayville 3
inches only.

Answer Wanted.

To whom does the Intelligenccr refer,
when it charges that some gentlemen Of
this place want to bestow Relief sup
plies where they will advance "thcir
petty personal or political advantage:"
Who are these gentlemen, and what
are their names? The accusation is a
grave one. Our neighbor must know
his men. Who are they? Are they
Republicans, or Democrats - colorcd
ssgentlemen,' or white gentlemen -
bare-faced liars, or slanderers Give
us their names, neighbor, and the facts,

engineer to level that portion OF town,

The Intclligencer regards our ohjec-
because of his ignorance OF law and the
rules of evidence, as sentirely out of
place. When we consider that the
Recorder Of this city has to hear and
decide important cases, and pass upon
the constitutionality of ordinances, and
that men learned in the law are en-
ployed to plead before him because of
their learning, we are simply confoun-
ded when we think of attempting to
respond to our neighbours criticism. He
can have, after this, no appreciation of
what is in, or what out of, place.

1t will astound many Of our city
| readers, as it has us, to learn that the
defunct Radical city council received
in taxes, licenses and fines, from July
1, 1878, to May s, 1s74,-ten MONTHS
the sum of $16,690 90, and that this
sum has been entirely expended, during
the fiscal year, and, besides, warrants
issued for S4792 3s; making the total
expenditure $2l ,4s3 33. Deducting for
the purchase of the steam fire engine,
cash and warrants, $7474 Sc, the expen-
ditures for the city government have
been 81, zoos "a.
If we had seven small New Orleans
news rats, we would wear them out, if
they could use Ii, 900 nickels to no bet
ter advantage than the seven council
men have used this $4,000. There is
not one of that seven who, having $l4,-
600, would give the half of it for what
he has voted away the whole amount
for. The city government is not the
place for ignoramuses, or men who will
not respect their obligations to those
whose rights and property are at stake.
A visitor to our sanctum remarked
