| The attention of Judge Goodrich being called
| to communication of Patrick Nash, ESQ.,,
printed IN the GLOBE of recent date, apparent
ly called out by local notice of sewer con-
structed las appears) by Mr.. Nash some TWEEN
| ty-five years since in the bottom of q ravine,
| or natural and more capacious sewer than that
constructed by him, the former, as he says,
being rarely ''utilized by nature," while the
latter seems never to have been by art, the
bottom of these sewsrs, both natural and artl-
| fetal, being the same, and situate forty. five
| feet below the then level of jackson street,
crossing it and Fourth near their inters ection,
upon private property, to which in after time
| it may cause great damage, Mr.. Goodrich does
not hold himself responsible for said item OF
local by which Mr.. Nash is made SO unhappy.
He believes that the location, time and man.
ner of constructing said sewer, with attendant
circumstances, have so impressed themselves
| upon the minds of sundry old settlers as
| to relieve both Mr.. Nash and himself from re-
| sponsibility touching the history of that i'm
portaut work of internal improvement. In his
opinion that job, in all that pertains to its in
yention, location, plan and execution, should
be permitted to speak for ITSELF, hence, in
former conversations, he refrained from
mentioning the name of the contractor, vet he
| does not object to the mode of retaliation for
an imaginary injury adopted by Mr.. Nash,
irrelevant as it MY appear, wherein he says:
"The subscriber was trotted out against
Judge Goodrich for the constitutional conven-
ton, and defeated him."
| He thinks it but right that Mr.. Nash should
thus vaunt himself, and seemed surprised that
| his superior fitness and capacity for the bust
ness of framing a constitution for our State,
| in conjunction with the further fact that he
was contractor, employing many laborers in
prosecuting important Improvements, (some
of these laborers, as was asserted,
having developed remarkable capacity for vot-
ing ''early and often,'O did not enable Mr..
Nash to achieve more signal triumph, yet
seemed incredulous when informed that Mr..

opponent, and referred to the record of the
election which furnishes the following facts
and figures. The Democratic party largely in
the majority, its candidates were:
| John 8. Prince, who received CIT votes.
| M E. Ames, who received 598 votes.
D. A. J. Baker, who received $50 votes.
| Patrick Nash, who received 465 votes.
The Republican ticket was thus composed:
G. Fl. Schurmeir, receiving 319 votes.
| MoToon rooaivn Cf0fvCtoS
Aaron Goodrich receiving $50 otes.
w. B. Quinn. receiving 239 votes.
| That Mr.. Nash, apparently the favorite con.
tractor of municipality largely en-
gagged in draining and embelishing
an infant city, whose guardians he and his
faithful Employees may have been potent in
elevating to positions of honor and profit,
should thus boast of having .trotted" SO far
in the rear of his party ticket, especially, as
Mr.. Goodrich, who was not favorably regard
ed by either corporation, contractor or en-
ployee, being opposed to the system OF internal
improvement then in vogue, stood at the head
OF his 81 votes in advance of the highest can
didate, while Mr.. Nash is found 152 in the
rear of his, seem to say that with him, small
| fayors are thankfully received and ever re-
membered.
His statements appear to be strangely in
conflict with each other, an dqulte improbable,
now he would have the public understand that
this sewer was constructed by him for the cor
poratlon, to be paid for by the city, not to be-
come a charge upon the property injured
thereby, then in the same communication, by
way Of retaliation, he says:
''In 81 the subscriber was trotteed
out against Judge Goodrich, for
the constitutional convention, and defeated
him. He, not thinking all was lost, gets a
certain alderman with himself to assall me,
with the assurance that my claim for building
the sewer would be paid by the city if would
decline to serve and let him take the seat.
refused; therefore the sewer is not paid for,
but remains blot on the city from that day to
this.''
Mr.. Goodrich admits that said sewer ire
mains blot on the city," though for time
partially concealed until brought to public
notice BY the card of Mr.. Nash, and is pre-
pared to believe that board of aldermen who
would thus contract for it's construction
might be capable of other questionable acts,
yet he did not think they would transfer debt
of his to the city, majority of that board
being personally or politically opposed to him,
did not aid in placing a political opponent
in position TO which he had
not been elected. He further states
that while he was not pleased with this sewer,
be was chiefly harassed by ''the annual grades
instituted on Jackson, between Third and
Fourth streets, to which he was required to
contribute, those voters requiring employment
He had not attempted to bride Mr.. Nash or
the common council, never having known or
heard of such a charge or proposition, until
his attention was called to the above state
ments of Mr.. Nash, which he regards as alb
surd. Yet Mr.. Nash says:
I(he) refused, therefore the seoer is not
paycd for"
In conclusion, Mr.. Goodrich suggests that
this direct and unqualified charge against the
representatives of the city, of persistently at
tempting to bride and corrupt Patrick Nash,
wherein and whereby ''the sewer is not paid
for" be investigated by the grand jury, that
our official felons, if they be such, may re-
ceive condign punishment, and our elections
be evermore free.
