One reason why so many names arc

10 because q great many OF the
names appear twice on the same list,
For illustration a man assessed John

pose but oftener than otherwise. The
temptations In the old way OF making
up the assessment. was the assessor
was ellowed two cents for each nam 0
placed on. Tho more names the larger
the perquisltes and the pay often ran
up to 81 500.
The new Levy Court fixed the
amount to be paid the assessors at
$500 per year. thus doing away with
the great temptation OF padding the
lists for tho snke OF large pay. There
are several hundred names on the
lists which should be erased. and only
the nance OF bona fide voters allowed
to remain on. Tho present mode OF
making assessments by some. but not
all OF the Assessors. we are happy to
state. has bsen for them to procure
the old books and copy of the names
Irrespective to their being correct or
even In the land OF the living.
They may have removed from our
city, but that made no difference to
the industrious assessors, and down
their names would go, which helped

BRITISH AT BLUEFIELDS
Why the Blue Jackets Invaded the
Mosquito Reservation.
NATIVES APPEAL FOR PROTECTION

They FeAved Violence at the Hands OF
an Armed Force of Nicaraguans who
Had Raised the Nicarasuan Flag over
the Public BuiidIngs.
SAVANNAH, March l2.-The report of the
landing of the British at Bluefields, in the
Mosquito reservation, was confirmed yes
terday by the arrival of the steamer Ell
hot, Captain A. Brown.
The Elliot, which is British steamer,
left Bluefelds Sunday morning, March T.
She arrived there Feb, 2T, just one day too
late TO witness the arrival of the Nicar-
aguans Captain Brown says the Nicar-
aBuans entered Bluefields Feb. % and 26
He did not know their exact number, but
there was an armed force of four or five
hundred of them ut Bluefelds when he
arrived. They brought no cannon with
them. They simply entered under arms
and without any resistance on the part of
the natives. They hoisted the Nicaraguan
flag over the custom house and over the
other public buildings. The flags remained
up during the time the Elliot was in port.
There was no fighting.
The Mosquitoes were considerably terri
fed by the presence of so large an armed
force, as they were practically without
protection in the city. Captain Brown says
the reports that reached this country with
regard to the name of the British warship
there are in error. 1t is not the Cleopatra,
he says, but the lamar. The Mosquitoes,
he states, fearing they might be attacked
by the Nicarauguans, appealed to the
lamar for protection. Thursday. March
: !, the lamar, without any authority from
the British government, as they had not
had time to get any such authority, sent
!, three boatloads of armed men ashore.
! Captain Brown did not know the exact
{. number of men, but between eighty and
one hundred We're landed, They were
armed with carbines and cutlasses.
The men went ashore in the steam
! launch of the man-of-war, and carried
/ with them two Calling guns and three
field pieces. The British did not land at
|, Bluefields but at Bluefelds Bluff, about
! four or five miles northwest of the city.
! There was some understanding between
!, the Mosquito chief and the officer in
charge of the lamar, the chief asking
i. that the men be landed for the safety and
protection of his people.
3 The British soldiers went into Bluefields
: from the bluff several times while Cap
! tain Brown was there. They could not go
. by land, but had to use the steam launch,
/, on which they carried one of the Calling
guns. The was no fight of any kind be
4 tween March l, the day the men landed,
and March 4, the day the Elliot sailed.
: Captain Brown says there was little ex-
: citement among the people. The Mos.
quitos were somewhat frightened when
the Nicaraguans first entered, but after
the landing of the British troops all ex-
