or held an Office. Ex-Governor Brown was
for thirty.three years, previous to 1860, con-
tinually in high official and political station,
and would, therefore, seem to have had as
extensive and favorable an experience as any
of his contem poraries and associates. We
quote as follows: t'
"True, as you say, I have held many Offices.
Indeed, i may say that never knew defeat
in any of my aspirations; and it is just be-
cause had success which people call wonder
ful, that I feel competent to administer
word of caution to the young men of this
generation.
my young friend, do not be deceived by
the glitter of Office. I am now past my three
score years, and am fast travelling into the
ten. I have held almost every Office in the
gift of the people, and I can truly say, with
the preacher, "it is all vanity and vexation
Of spirit
unsuccessful life, I can say, with a clear con-
science, my greatest regret is that l ever made
political speech or held an Office.
There is fascination in Office which be-
guiles men, but be assured. my young friend,
It is the fascination of serpent, or, to change
the figure it is the ignis tatuas which coaxes
you on to inevitable ruin.
II speak of that which do know. If my
young friends will be governed by my advice,
I have this to say, after all my success as a
public man, now, when my head is blossom
ing for the grave, feel that it would have
been better for nae if had followed the oc-
cupation of my father, and been farmer.
1.-THE mechanic arts are all honorable. To
be blacksmith, carpenter, or an artisan Of
any sort is no discredit to any man. Better
that than be a jack.leg lawyer, quack doc
tor, counter-hopper, or, worse still, wretch
ed seeker after Office.
"Of all pursuits in life that of farmer is
the most respectable. 1t may have its trials
and disappointments, so do all others. The
mechanic may lose the wages of his labor, the
professional man his fees, the editor may
weep over delinquent subscribers, but the
honest, industrious farmer is morally certain
of fair return for bis labor.
"True, Paul may plant, and Apollos water,
but God must give the increase But where
is the faithful cultivator of the soil, Gods
heritage to man, who ever suffered for bread?
"Allow me again to caution my young
friends against the beguiling influence Of Of
fee, and to advise them most earnestly to
stick to mother EARTH"

LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE.


The newly-elected members Of the Legisla-
ture, in conjunction with the Citfzena' Associa-
tion, or as much Of 1t as was represented By Mr..
D. L. shorey, met yesterday afternoon. Col.
". NJ Thompson was chosen to preside.
Afr. Shorey stated that bis Committee had as
Jet held no meetings to consider the bills pre-
pared By Messrs Adams and Anthony, and he
was not ready to say whether these bills would
stand the test Of criticism or not. They we're
drawn under the same general principles aud
were very stringent in their provisions. He as
sured the meeting, however, that his Commit
Anthony, would carefully examine them, and,
II they could be sustained, pass a favorable
opinion thereon. At present, he WIS not pre-
pared to deliver any opfnfon-favorable or un-
favorable.
The Chairman suggested the reading Of the
bills, and hoped the gentlemen present would
feel free to discuss them.
to the Committee OF the Citizens' Association
to examine the bills. Out of the valuable points
contained therein, with what suggestions the
Committee had to make, he thought they could
prepare a bill to meet the case.
Mfr. Sittig did notethink 1t would be possible
to go over these bills anl discuss their merits
within the short time left He therefore y1ovcd
ried.
So ended the last meeting, like the previous
ones, in talk. So far nothing has been done.
Messrs. Adams and Anthony have prepared their
bills, rs they would have done anyhow, and now
the Committee Of the Citizens Association ex-
and see what there is in them, as they very
probably would have done anyhow. There has
been agitation, and the result has been almost
nothing.

STABBED TO THE HEART.


The various stabhing affrays that have oc-
CURED within the past week eliminated yester-
day in one Of the most cold-blooded and reck-
and that is saying considerable when several Of
the more recent affairs arc brought to mind.
The scene Of yesterdays blood-letting was q
low hovel at No. 16 West Like street, which,
were it not for the dazzling green with
which the rickety front is smeared, not painted,
no one would ever suspect was evcn grog-
shop. Entering, one finds upon the left side q
low pine bench which serves for 4 bar. The
other surroundings cannot be desbriped, there
are none, save the cheap paper with which the
rateaten wall is covered, and cranky-looking
stove, SO crooked with continued usage that It
is hard to tell how the draft finds
its way to the chimney. At about
high noon, the time when the tale Of
the murder begins, there were gathered to-
the lower floor OF the hoycl motley crowd Of
about score Of the hardest and toughest look
ing gagabonds, sots, and low thieves that one
could find II one Travelled these United States
over. Each and every one of them utterly beg

Ganymede OF the place, began to grow roeifer-
ous, and loud vaunts were made BY several
about their muscle The performance Was
opened by a young brawuS: rough giving a
variety Of names walking up to one William
O'Donnell, q hardened old salt, too old to vaunt
his prowess, and too coward1y to return the
blow. The young man then went out upon the
street, but soon returned in company with
DENIS DAySEs,
a fellow who has been 4 yayrant for over two
years, besides having serrcd term in tho
Penitentia1y for highway robbery. The
two fomented a disturbance between
Henry Leary, the son Of the
proprietor, and most foul creature bearing the
name Of John Campbell. Blows were struck
on both sides, and q general rough-and-tumble
fight seemed imminent, when the young pugi-
list Maurice O'Halloran, took sides with C11np-
bell, who was getting the worst Of the fight.
At the same time his companion, Denis Baynes,
took sides with O'Lcary. The rest made an
opening for the two combatants, and
mist several times, which seemed to
cursing Baynes for biting his upper lip. Step
ping back few PAGES he drew pocket knife Of
largo size, and with the exclamation, "No--
- will bite me q second tin1e," he rushed
upon Baynes and stabbed him four times rapid
" In succession. The wounded man staggered
to the floor, and almost Immediately expired.
The murderer walked out Of the place c1rsing
his luck, and entered the saloon OF Mr. Lowery,
the next door west- Some Of the drunken in
mates Of LcarY's den shouted murdcr several
times, and the hue and cry was taken up by
the street. The officers rushed hither and thith-
er through 1umber.Y Yards, as they SUPPOSED. IN

!: In the Criminal Court yesterday afternoon
the question as to whether Mike Evans, pre-
suming that he WAS dcfaulter, was eligible to
the office Of South Side Collector, was decided
by Judge Gary. The merits of the pleas in tue
case, it viii be remembered, had been discussed
for some weeks when the Court had nothing
more interesting to listen to, and it hal been
hoped that before the close Of the year Evans
and his books might have been heard Of for tho
last time. But the public Is doomed to disap-
pointment, as VIII appear. The disputed plea
was in effect that Evans was ineligible as Col
1cctor because dcfaulter. To this there had been
demurrers, repl1cations, and papers Of various
other titles, but what Judge Gary Was really
called upon to decide was whether, Il Evans
was defaulter, he was ineligible. as the plea
set forth. he responded in conversational
way late yesterday afternoon, that the plea WAS
good, stating, in the course Of bis talk, that he
had reached the conclusion after examining the
mass Of authorities submitted, and that while
there were many doubts, his decision was on the
