! Correspondence OF the Register.
1t appears to me that our citizens are
exhibiting an unusual amount of apathy
and carele,snoss as regards the coming
town election. 1t is now but few days
until the election comes of, and l have
not heard q single candidate spoken Of
for the office of councllmen. Can our pro-
perry owners, and others VINO have an in
terest in the towns future afford TO thus
neglect this important duty and allow
the election to 90 by default? and loose
thereby the effect Of the work so judlcious-
ly commenced by the present council.
The offices of Mayor and Sergeant will,
| presume, be filled for the next term by
the present incumbents, as they are both,
| understand, candidates for reelection.
That is if the order loving portion of our
citizens bat do their duty, but if the
selection OF men TO fiji these two lmpor-
tsrt offices, the most important OF
all town offices, as bearing directly
upon the moral government Of the town,
be left to those who have no interest
in the matter, or, what is verse, their
interests are directly the opposite Of good
order, they can nave themselves alone 10
blame.
It's important that Mayor and
Council be elected who will work IN con-
cert, sustaining and upho.din each other
in all things which will tend to advance
the interests of the town, as the Execu.
tive and Legislative branches OF all gov
ernments should. II is important there.
fore, in my opinion, that a convention be
held, and that it be attended to, by those
who desire to see good men nominated
and elected, for the probabilities are that
those who are put in nomination at the
convention, il there is one held, will be
the men who Will ill the offices. If the
gentlemen who have filed the Offices OF
Councilmen for the last term IN such sn
acceptable and credItable manner will
consent to another term, all we'll and
good, if not le. US Try to select men who
will emulate their example.

The Board of Equalization met at 10

Mr. Louis Heinsheimer was present and

SMILEY SMILES,
And He is Police Court Clerk for Three
Years.

The contest between Samuel Smiley and
John R. Bender over the clerkship of the
Cincinnati Police Courtwas virtually ended
this morning in the Hamilton District
Court.
Mr.. Bender claimed that he had still an
other year to serve as Clerk of that Court,
and therefore protested to Mr.. Smiley su-
perseding him.
The matter was definitely determined by
a unanimous decision of the District Court
to-day in giving Mr.. Smiley the position.
Mr.. Bender was anxious to have the mat
ter settled, as he was under the impression
that he was entitled to one more year. He
said he did not want the office unless the
law would say that he had a right to it.
After hearing the decision of the Court he
gracefully resigned in favor of Mr.. Smiley,
who will take his position at once.
Mr.. Smiley's Deputies are Lieutenant
Spaeth and Constable William Doyle.
The decision of the Court has created con-
siderable excitement, as it was expected
that there would be some legal difficulties
to be encountered by him.
Mr.. Bender will not appeal the case.

Shot i'm the Back.

A colored man by the name of Richard
Moore took a contract to-day for loading
goods upon boat at the foot of Broadway
and employed a companion, VIM. White
TO assist him.
The men could not work well together
and dispute arose. Harsh words were
followed by hard blows and in few
moments Moore drew a revolver and fired
four shots at White, one of which took eff
feet in his back, making quite serious
wound.
The scene closed by Moore being arrested
and locked up at Hammond-street Station
with the charge of shooting with intent to
kill placed against him.

Louis for committing a $4,000 burglary.
proves to be one of the most notorious
thieves in the country.
A long ago as 1S49 he wass convicted CT
burglary and sentenced to two years terra
i'll the Alton Penientiary. Since then he
has served two years in the st. Louis Work
house, lived two years by stealing in Cali
fornia, and committed an extensive robbery
on the steamer on his return.
In 1869 he was arrested in Cincinnati fns
shooting Theophilus George, and two days
later robbed a wealthy French Count
named LeMouchera, at Long Branch, OF
sixty thousand francs worth of jewelry
and notes.
For this theft he was sentenced to eight
years in the Trenton Penitentiary, but soon
escaped to Europe. On his return he was
caught and served oIt his unexpired term.
but was no sooner liberated than he waz
again sent up for two years for committing
burglary in Binghampton.
