The New Workers are In concern over ba
growing scarcity OF their water supply. No
police supervision can prevent the waste
and no meter has been devised which will
answer practical purpose. The Sun recon-
mends the adoption of the London plan, and
Instead OF furnishing water TO consumers all
The twenty-four hours or the day, require
Them 10 provide tanks which shall be hIlei
at certain periods, and keep the mains closed
the rest of the time. In this way the water,
Instead of dribbling away all over the city
at once, would suffer depletion only in sec.
lions, and be much more easily controlled.

quently those who have eligible rooms or
can supply satisfactory board should make
known the fact through the advertising

double system OF taxation, according to
which we first tax property and then tax the

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS TO SAM
UEL ]. TILDEN
A Remarkable Letter, Which Will Have
Great Infuenceiwith the American
People.

New YORK, April 1.-THE following
remarkabIe.letter is now made public for
the first time. AS will be seen it was
written on the day of the Inauguration of
President Hayes:
BOSTON, March s. 1877.
Hon s. ]. Tilden, New York.
My Dear SIr:-Ou thissday, when you
ought to have been president of fine United
States, seize an opportunity to bear NY
testimony to the calm and dignifed man
ner in which you have passed through
this great trial. 1t is many years since !
ceased to be party man, Hence, l have
endeavorcd to judge of public affairs and
men rather by their merits than by the
name they take. 1t is a source of gratif-
cation to me to think that l made the
right choice in the late election. | could
never have been Ieconciled to the eleVa
ton by the smallest aid of mine of a per.
son, however respectable in private life,
who must carry upon his brow the stamp
of frauds first triumph in American his.
tory. No subsequent action, however
meritorious, can wash away the letters Of
that record. Very respectfully yours,
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

colored, with occasional flushes, or
a circumsCribed spot on one or both
cheeks; the eyes become dull; the pupils
dilate; an azure semicircle runs along
the lower eye-lid; the nose is irritated,
swells, and sometimes bleeds; swell
ing of the upper lip; occasional head
ache, with humming or throbbing of
the ears an unusual secretion of saliva
Shiny or furred tongue; breath very
foul, particularly in the morning; ap-
petite variable, sometimes voraciouS,
witha gnawing sensation ofthe stomach,
at Others, entirely gone f1eeting pains
in the stomach Z; occasional nausea and
vomiting violent pains throughout the
abdomen; bowels irregular, at times
costive stools Shiny; not unfrequently

sionally difficult, and accompanied by
hiccough; cough sometimes dry and
Convulsive; uneasy and disturbed sleep,
with grinding of the teeth; temper

A GOOD MANS NAME vINDT-
GATED.
The Case of John Liston, Complainant,
VS.. Gustaf johnson.

At a recent term of our county court
the case of the People vs. Gustaf john
son, for assault and battery on an old and
highly respected man IN Coe township,
named John Liston, was tried, and johnson
was acquitted because some witnesses
swore that Listens reputation for truth
and veracity was not good. Some of the
witnesses swore that neither of the men
we're to be believed, but the balance of
testimony seemed to be against Liston
and it was thus that johnson got clear.
Mr., Listens neighbors, feeling that he
had been wronged by few men without
chance to rebut their evidence have asked
us to publish the following, and say that
they could give us 200 more good names
if necessary
A CARD.
We, citizens and residents Of Coe and
Port Byron, in the county of Rock Island
aud state Of Illinois do hereby certify that
we are and have been for many years &C
quainted with John Liston, an old and
respected citizen of said town Of Coe, and
take pleasure in certifying that he is a
man of good character for truth and YER
acity, quiet and peaceable, honest and
lair minded in his dealings, and we dc
regret that an attempt was made to i'm
peach his good name, fame and character

The Vote That Made the President

The Vote That MADE the president
In monograph thus entitled, published
by d. Appleton Il Co., Mr., David Dudley
Field presents the facts and law in the
case of Orlando II. Brewster, one of the
Louisiana electors. He shows that Brews-
ter did not receive sufficient number OF
votes to elect him. and, further, that he
could not have been appointed an elector
if he had received the votes of all the
people OF Louisiana, inasmuch as he was
constitutiOnally ineligible for the position.

commission the blame of all the wrong that has
been practiced in this presidential count The
commission was but u council of ADVICE, which
congress might have taken or not, rs 1t pleased

both houses must have agreed The responsibility
or, rather upon the senate, which voted through

Mr.. Field takes the vote of Brewster as
an illustrative example only. The same
arguments by which he invalidates Brews-
ter vote, or others equally strong, apply
10 each OF the twelve votes of Louisiana
ana Florida, counted for Hayes. Neither
congress nor the electoral commission" he
says could give an honest title without
investigating the honesty Of the transac.
