claims to confidence and esteem. His long
nublic service has given him that most yalu-
able education which comes from the careful
and intelligent conduct of important affairs,
and the district which secures his services In
the Senate may be sure of representation
second to no other in ability and distinction.
In any other country but this, men OF Mr.
Stewards value would never be allowed 10
withdraw from official employment; and II our
present political system is to endure success
fully, it will be only through an increase OF
the number of such men, now so rare, III pup
llc life 1t is a positive gain to the State
when man of Mr.. Stewards standing, educa-
ton. abilities and high character consents to
take seat in our Legislature.
1t has been long time since any act OF
vandalism equalling that of the HObOken hre-
men last night has been committed IN these
parts. 1t seems that these gallant men,
who constitute q volunteer CORPS have
had a quarrel with the Mayor, and have
had controversies upon the subject OF supplies
Feeling themselves aggrieved by these and other
things. one of which was that the authorities
insolenty and presumptuOusly deslgnated
the engine houses as polling booths, the fremeh
voted to keep their engines "tOngue IN" In
other words, they voted that they would waste
as much time as possible Ill getIlhg
TO fire, This noble resolve was tulflicd
last night in more than its letter and in all OF
its spirit. A fire beginning in pier was allowed
to grow unchecked until it badinvolveds shipping,
valuable cargoes, barges, ETC., while the Hobo
ken fremen, with a few exceptions, stood by
10
fire was finally Quelled, with loss
Of over half million dollars, by
fremen brought from Jersey City. This Is
disgraceful affair-the more so that these
men had the hardihood to boast after
ward of what they had done, OF rather Of what
they had not done.

The voters of the Alth Congressional District no
doubt understand by this time the issue that is pre-
sentcd TO hem in the rival candidates. of Mr.. AstOr
and Mr.. Flower IL is tho old one--the issue be-
tween the party that has administered the National
Government successfully and no csty for twenty
years, has made the National credit second TO none
on the earth, has had the courage 10 expose and
correct abuses. and has had all questions an in
telhgcnt, consistent and National policy; and the
party that did It's best TO break up the Governments
has made repeated attempts TO injnre or destroy the
National credit, and has no fixed principles of any
sort, no National policy neither honesty among its
leaders nor intelligence among its masses Mr..
AstOr represents one of these parties, and Mr..
Flower the other. The election of Mr.. AstOr may

It is perfectly safe to vote always against the
Democratic party.
New-York tribune., 1881-11-07

Facts are now coming TO view which tend to
show that many of the acts of Baldwin, the
unprecedented defaulter, were the subject of
remark long before his exposure 1t is now
stated, for example, that his name was con-
sidered year ago for a bank posi-
ton in this city, and rejected, with
the Endorsement: &" Too much outside
business" A good many people seem to have
observed that Mr.. Baldwin had good deal of
"outside business" and yet the public is asked
to believe that the only persons who never
observed it, and so never suspected anything,
were those who were most closely associated
with him.
The romantic episode of fashionable life un-
folded in our local columns discloses a
radical difference of opinion between two
of the most prominent city rectors re-
specting clergyman's privilege att the mar
rage altar. One holds that he cannot marry
pair of lovers when a stern parent pleads the
immaturity of the bride, and only asks for
years delay. The other considers it his
bounden duty to unite them in the holy bonds
when he has examined the bridegroom's GER
tiicates of character and ascertained what
very excellent reputation lac bears. 1t will be
a pity if 50 delicate a question OF pastoral
privilege causes permanent estrangement be-
tween such experienced and respected church
men.

BOARD OF ASSESSORS.
Peterman for Clerk-The Duties OF I
Assesaors

Peterman for Clerk-The Duties of tie
Assessors.
There seems 10 be general misappre-
hension in regard to the assessors of the
city, and their duties. They are spoken
OF assessors OF the First District, Second
District and at large, when really they
are not elected for any district and their
duties are similar. The ordinance pro-
vides for the election Of three assessors
who shall not reside in the same ward.
They shall constitute Board OF Asses
sors and shall assess the real and per-
sonal property and the water rents.
They are instructed, moreover, to en-
ploy clerk, 10 perform the clerical la
Dor. The assessors receive IS per day
for the time they are actually employed ;
and their clerk receives the same pay,
with $3.50 additional for making up the
books, and with such other money as
Council shall from time to time direct.
The Board OF Assessors met yesterday
afternoon and elected III. &. Peterman
clerk. The work OF assessing will begin
at once, as soon as the books are ready.
The new ordinance provides for a re-.
valuation, this year, OF the real estate of
the city. This is a most important step
and it is fortunate the BOARD has an old
hand, such as Ralph Ankle, in it, for
new men would find the task difficult
one. Real estate has not been revalued
for nearly ten years and it is high time
it was taking place. This work will re-
uuire at least one hundred days of itself,
and it, with the regular assessing, will
make it very late when the task is com
pleted.

RINK REMARKS

Sayings on Skates, Whispers on Wheels
and Racquet on Rollers.
Those dizzy, restless little wheels.
A pretty lady skater is thing OF beau
ty and Joy forever.
The weather was unpromising, last
evening, but good crowd WAS in at
tendance, notwithstanding.
Several College girls were on the floor
last evening.
A piano would be vast improve
ment and at a slight cost.
There is talk OF constructing balcony
on the north and south walls and thus
keep the floor free OF spectators and at
the same time give them fine oppor-
tsnity Of seeing the sport.
Spectators sympathize with a begin
ner who falls, but when crack skater
slips up, the enjoyment is intense, and
is manifested in applause.
Several potent, grave and reverend
Senators daily step in TO look on, but 1t
is only the lighter Delegates who VEN
ture on the rollers.
1t is customary at $50 o'clock every
evening TO ring gentlemen only" on the
floor. The ladies then resume their
seats, and the boys go off on exhibition.
Oh, how they DO exhibit.
A great many ladies can cut the outer
and inner edge forward, and even do the
Dutch roll. They are progressing hand
somely.
1t has been suggested that a rule
should be adopted, iorbidding gentle
man to skate longer than fifteen minutes
with any one lady. But it is said the
gentlemen are proposing it!

BABES In THE WOOD.
The Production Over Which Bridgeport
ia Wild

Bridgeport, our little neighbor at the
end OF the bridge, is in furry Of inter
est and excitement over the presenta-
tation OF the humorous medley, Babes
in the Wood" There is, therefore, a
certain interest, to Bridgeport reauers,
at least, in a brief sketch OF such a
troupe as they never saw in their trav-
els, unless il wss their good fortune to
touch upon some of the woody parts OF
the continent.
Tne BABES" were captured i'll a
swamp three miles west OF Bridgeport
and at their first appearance were taken
to be a species OF ape; but upon further
examination they proved to be human
and have since developed into
full sized gentleman babes,
especially Hon. R. ]. Alexander
and Joe Harris. They were
captured by J. L. d Mcdonald and
brought to Heinlein Hall, where they
have since undergone thorough course
OF training, which is the cause of the
production OF good show. Promptly
at 8 O'Clock last night they were un-
veilel, and the hideous outline Of their
physiognomies caused general mirth.
The comic songs in the overture were
good and were received with applause.
The dietion, posture and gesticulation
in the orations were bordering on the
sublime. pretty Wilhelmina" again
required an encore. 'Old Black Joe,"
the reading, dancing and singing
throughout were very entertaining.
