THE CITY arTORNEYsHIp.

Thong h we scarcely consider that there is
q contest for this Office, it may be we'll, for
the benefit of new corners, to notice the re-
spective candidates for the coming election.
Mr.. w. P. Murray, the present incumbent,
who is candidate for reelection, Las been
resident of st. Paul for thirty years. He
has seen the city spring, as it we're, from
nothing, and expand to it's present mag
ni6cent proportions. His long service as an
alderman and his numerous terms in the
have given him afamiliarity with
city affairs, which no other man living
possesses. In all his public service
he has acted with a loyalty to st. Paul
which is deserving of substantial recog-
milton. Though coming here in early times,
and aiding almost from the start in building
the city, Mr.. Murray has never "feathered
his own nest,'' and is to-day poor man.
The city of St. Paul never called upon w.
P. Murray and found him wanting. Others,
who have been possessed of greater means,
may have appeared to have done more to
make st. Paul what she is than Mr.. Murray,
but the careful historian will record that no
one man has done as much as he to make st.
Paul. We allude especially to his services
in the legislature, where, by his
ability, tact and shrewd management
he has repeatedly prevented fatal blows from
being inflicted upon the city, and as repeat
eddy secured friendly legislation. The rival
~ of other cities has always led to attempts
to cripple St. Paul by legislative enactments,
but it can be truthfully stated that no hos
tile measure ever became a law while Mr..
Murray was member of either branch of
the Legislature. The people of st. Paul
owe this man debt of gratitude which they
can never adequately repay, and it is very
slight recognition of his services to retain
him in the Office which he is so admirably
qualified to fill.
During Mr.. Murray's term as City Attor-
ney, he has won several important suits for
the city, and has not lost single one, which
originated since he entered upon the duties
of the Office. He has proved himself as
faithful and able a servant of st. Paul, in
his present Office as he did in the Legisla-
ture. The city cannot afford to dispense
with his services. While Gen. Sanborn is
a worthy gentleman, there is no comparison
in his ability to fill this particular place. Mr.
Murray's education for the duties has been
prolonged for quarter of century, while
Gen. Sanborn has given no other attention
to city matters than that which has been
thrown in his way by chance.
Mr.. Murray, like Mayor Dawson, is one
of the working men in securing the recent
and contemplated improvements. He framed
the bills which we're passed by the legislature
last winter to secure these improvements,
and his thorough familiarity with these
matters renders it impossible for St. Paul to
make change in the city attorneyship with
out striking vital blow at her own pros
perity.

"The Brains of T. III. Metcalf.''

To the Editor of the Globe.
"Pioneer Press, May 1st 1877. NJ. MetcaH has
brains, honor and honesty, combined with courage
and Independence. I"
Mr.. Editor, is it not getting superoly ridicu-
lous, this harping upon T. NJ. Metcalf's brains,
or the honor of this political turncoat, who
is everything by turn and nothing long?
Medical experts would long hesitate ere
they declared that T. NJ. Metcalf had brains,
or in what part OF his anatomy they have been
concealed, while the boosted honor and honesty
of this less than mediocre candidate for the
mayoralty is simply political twaddle for the
man does not possess either; and when his
courage and independence is alluded to, the
mind turns to the trite sayings of the late
Artemus Ward. The Republican party must
indeed be in a quandary. when, as denier
resort, it takes T. NJ. Metcalf as standard
bearer, man who, in whatever Office he has
been, by hook or by crook foisted has never
been reelected to that office, simply because,
after being tried, he has ever been found an
INCOMPETENT fraud. ARM.

Suspicious Character.

During the early part of last evening Officer
Lowell reported that young man had called
at several business houses on Wabashaw street
and offered to dispose of few articles of Jew
elry at ruinously low figure. "A description
of the individual was given Officer Mcmahon,
who shortly afterwards collared his man near
the corner of Third and Washington streets.
He was brought to the station and searched, a
pair of 80 cent bracelets and IS cents in cash
being all that was found upon his person. He
was badly intoxicated and fatty refused to
give his name stating, however, that he
had purchased the bracelets for fifty cents.
Since writing the above it has been ascertalned
that couple of young men offered gold
watch and number of finger rings for sale
about o clock last night at Beyers saloon, cor
ner of Seventh and Wabashaw streets. a de-
scription Of the parties was obtained by Capt
Clark, the impression being that they are a
couple of we'll known thieves, and that the
party under arrest was acting merely IN the
capaeity of stool-pigeon. An officer was de-
tailed to try and effect their capture, but up
! to midnight they had not been arrested.

THE MIYORALTY,

The people of st. Paul will be called upon
next Tuesday to determine whether they
wish to make change in the administration
of public affairs in this city or not. Mayor
Dawson has served the city for year past,
and we venture to assert that there never has
been a more honest, conscientious discharge
of public duty than that which he has given,
Though in active business, he has devoted
almost his entire time to the city, never
delaying or neglecting any public duty.
The same prudence ana watchfulness
which has characterized the management of
his own affairs has been bestowed upon the
city. No one assumes, even for moment,
that Mayor Dawson has in any manner
proven derelict to the public trust confded
in him. Not dollar has been misap-
propriated or squandered under his admins
tration. On the contrary, the utmost care
and economy has been exercised. He COM
bines integrity with tirmness and his record
in the past IS a sufficient guarantee for the
future.
Aside from his very acceptable discharge
Of his immediate duties as mayor, Mr.. Daw-
son has been, and is now, actively engaged
in work for the advancement of st. Paul.
He stands at the head of the citizens execu-
tive committee which has accomplished an
immense work for st. Paul during the past
few months, and still has most vital matters
in charge. A vote against Mr.. Dawson for
Mayor is equivalent to vote against secur-
ing railroad machine shops, against the
union depot, against making st. Paul the
terminus and great business center of the
Northern Pacific road. All of these matter:
have enlisted Mr.. DaWson's services, and h
stands to-day at the head of the citizens
committee, having them in charge. If citi
zens wish to cast vote of censure for thi
work, if they desire to retard what has beef
done in these directions and prevent tn
contamination of what is only partially com
pleted they will cast their ballots agains
Mr.. Dawson. If, on the other hand, the
approve of the upbuilding of st. Paul,
they desire to encourage and commend i
thew will vote to continue in the mayoralt
the man who has so industriously and SUE
cessfully labored to secure these grand n
suits.
The vote for Mr.. Dawson ought not to
a simple election. It ought to be an owe
uhelming majority Of at least two thousan

sluicing through Hector dam, with plenty of
water.
Milton Mobiles and troupe are billed for
the 10Th. The title of the play is the
"Phenix.''
Frank McGrey arrived from PRESCOTT. yes
terday, to take charge of the boom which
open the first of the week.
The lumbermen here say that the rain
storm yesterday was due to the black circle
around Gus Munger's eye.
Jas. Clendenning, down from Yellow river,
reports the injury received by the dam on
that stream by fire, as insignificant.
William Ginder, a vagrant, was up before
the municipal court yesterday, and received
sufficient time to leave town, and he left.
The Saltwater Mills yesterday shipped
500 barrels of -four to New York via the
great lakes. This is the first shipment this
season by that route.
Michael Moffat, who has recovered from
severe sickness, has been around the past
couple of days receiving the congratulations
of his many friends on his speedy recovery.

During the past week Saltwater has
been visited by three frst-class troupes,
and on each occasion Opera Hall has
been filled, an evidence that good troupes
will ALWAYS receive warm reception in our
CITY. The people will now have rest, as
there are no more troupes billed for an ear
lier date than the 18th.
The Gale-Leib troupe were greeted, Fri
day evening, with large and intelligent
audience, who were anxious to see the much
read of n. M. S. Pinafore. To say that the
rendition of the opera gave thorough salts
faction to the majority of the audience, Is
but faint praise. The acting and singing
was very fine. Mrs. Lyman F. Brown, as
Josephine, was perfect, and her singing was
duly appreciated. A gentleman from Phila-
delphia, who is stopping in this city, and
has seen Pinafore played in Philadelphia
says that Mrs. Brown is the most perfect
Josephine he ever saw. Little Buttercur
and Hebe, in their respective roles, gave emf
nent satisfaction and were hardly less perfect
The male members of the troupe acted anc
sang their parts in pleasing manner, an6
received their we'll merited share of the ap
plause of the evening. The acting of tn,
whole company was perfect, and is Spoken
of in highly commendatory terms.
