letter, and as il has never been published
give it.
HARTFORD, Jan. 10, 1881.
GEN. GARFIELD-Dear Sir: Several timls
since your election, people wanting offia
have asked me to .'use my influence with
you in their behalf. To word it in that way
was such pleasant compliment to ne that 1
never complied. l could not without expos
ing the fact that I hadn't any influence with
you, and that was thing which I had no
mind to do 1t seems to me that it is better
to have good mans tlattering estimate of
my 1nauence-and keep it-than to fool it
away with trying to get him an office.
But when my brother on my wife's side
MI. Charles J. Langdon, late Of the Chicago
conyention-desires me to speak word for
Mr.. Fred Douglass, am asked to ''use my
influence" consequently I am not risking
anything.
So am writing this as a simple citizen I
am not drawing on my fund of influence at
all simple citizen may express desire
with all propriety in the matter of recon-
mendation to office; SO I beg permission to
hope that you viii retain Mr.. Douglass in his
present Office of marshal of the District of
Columbia; if such course will not clash with
your own preferences or with the expediences
and interests of your administration.
offer the petition with peculiar pleasure
and strong desire, because 1 so honor the
mans high and unblemished character, and
SO admire his brave, long crusade for the lib
critics and elevation of his race. He is a per-
sonal friend of mine, but that is nothing to
the point, for his history would move me TO
say these things without that, and feel
them, too.
With great respect am, general, yours
truly, S. L. CLEMENS.

EAST SIDE DISTRIBUTION.

Chief Engineer Waters submitted plans
for route for the distribution from the
east side pumping station of the east side
district.
Commissioner Brown thought that it
was policy to get the NAN tunnel from
the pump house completed before the
mills start up in the spring. The plan was
adopted. The plan runs across Hennepin
Island direct to the main land.
The engineer was instructed to prepare
plans and specifications for the tunnel.
The engineer estimated that the present
water power at the site would be sufficient
to run two pumps of 100000 gallons
capacity.
The mayor thought it best to learn be-
fore the board concluded upon the matter
of establishing the 'head'' how much
power would be required to run electric
light machines for illuminating the city.
The contemplated Improvements on the
East side will aggregate an expenditure in
about $125, 900.
Commissioner Foote argued that it would
not be economy for the city to make i'm
provements which the East side will out
grow in few years. He wanted the i'm
provements made on an extensive scale.
After the transaction of further inform
al business, the board adjourned.

The Fionr Production,

The following review of the production
of -four for the week, ETC., is furnished by
the Northwestern Miller:
With the dullness characteristic of the
holiday season, added to Insufficient water
power, the platform does not present q
very animated appearance at the present
time. The water remains quite low, and
the most of those mills endeavoring to
run can only do SO irregularly, it being
quite difficult to make an even flour. The
power averaged poorly throughout last
week, and the output of -four
was the Ightest of any week
since early in September, being
only $3.50 barrels per day. It looks as
though the production would be fully 90
low this week. There are six mills shut
down entirely, while the others are unable
to do much more than half their usual
amount OF work. There is q stronger
unjertone in the -four market than has
been felt fer some time, and slightly better
prices are being obtained for the higher
grades.
