elected Village Marshal, Mr.. James seaton was
elected Village Treasurer. Daniel O'Nein aud
Patrick Donovan were made special officers to as
slst the Village Marshal ana Andrew Young was
made Janitor OF the village Court House
About the lst OF May last the village Assessors or
Edgewater gave notice through the public prints
that they had completed their assessments, and
that at certain time the roll would be on exhi-
bition for correction, the assessment being at the
same rate as in previous years. This roll, how
ever, II appears was given up as worthless, and
new one has since been made, which the taxpay-
ers have also been called upon to criticise and
amend. 1t appears now that there is q
question as to the legality OF the last rolls
which viii probably be tested In the courts unless
the Assessors should conclude TO fOregO their
latest action, In which case IL is probable that
assessments can be made until next year. Mean
time the question OF raising the rate Of assess
ments, 10 accordance with the recomme ndations
OF the state Assessors, Is being seriously cOnsd-
cred, and will be further discussed by the super

NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATS.

Opposition to DespOtism and One-Man
Government.
The democratic committee or New Jersey have
issued an address to the democratic and con-
servattve electors Of that state, calling on them
to exercise at the approaching election, the right
Of franchise for the good of the commonwealth
The address sets strongly forth that the despot-
ism, GENERALIZATION OF power, deliberate and glar-
ing corruption by the party now in office have
been borne until forbearance ceases to be virtue.
These and other systematized plans have given un-
limited power to individuals, who have even now,
in their sense OF strength, inaugurateo measures
looking toward the founding OF q One-man govern
ment, with powers paralleed only by the worst Of
despotsmS. The committee eXhOrts every
patriot, democrat or republican, VINO loves
his country to be up and doing, to
be aroused to determined and vigorous action.
The grand object complete and thorough organ
erti0n and untiring zeal OF each and every demo-
crat and conservative voter. Unity OF object and
concert OF action are sure harbingers OF success
The only hope, the address continues to say, OF
their adversaries Is in the lukewarmness and In
difference OF democrats and conservatives ana
their failure to rally together efficiently organ
tze. The utmost exertions, therefore, OF the re-
publican party win be devoted to misrepresenting
the important question at home and IN seeking to
weaken the ties that should unite all true demo-
Gratis, conservatives and friends OF reform and
economy against the party Of discOrd misrule and
corruption. 1t advises to cast aside all apathy to
be not divided by local issues or personal blcker-
lngs to select true, tried ana honest men for can
oidates and complete without delay the work OF

Cholera morbus is making fearful ravages in Jer-
sey City just now, and most OF the cases are
ascribed by the physicians to the poison In the
Passaic water. The analysis made by Professor
Wurtz, OF the Stevens Institute, in Hoboken,

surround them. Still, the apathy OF the municipal
authorities IN the cities so affected Is positively
astounding Not one step has been taken by them
to remedy the evI.
A HERALD reporter called on Professor Wurtz

ttons asked was whether he intended to give the

Fancy my surprise when learned that only 500
copies were printed. But suppose tnat is what
