weighing and Gauging.

EDIToRs APPEAL see it has been sug-
gested that the weighing OF corn be placed
Sin charge of the merchants who know some
thing about it." Might not the same sug-
gestion be made about weighing and gaug-
ing generally? Let all these things be turned
over to the different parties who "know
something about it.. By this means the
present government will be deprive of a
considerable amount # revenue; and after a
while the old city hall gang can claim that
the Legislative council is failure, and petl-
ton the legislature to abolish it and re estab-
lish the old government There are a great
many ways of working for n desired end
without going directly toward it. x.
