Locomotive, Volume 8, Number 9, Indianapolis, Marion County, 28 April 1849 — Page 2

Paddy returned and saw the mule helping himself freely, when he very cooly remarked, <hould on a bit, you buggar, and I will give you some taa>. The weather since we have been here has been very pleasant, until to-day, we have a very cold heavy rain. If time will permit, you will hear from me again. A. D. O. ——————— <For the Locomotive>. THE 2D WARD AGAIN.—Permit me to suggest to the voters of the 2d ward, the propriety of selecting Councilman whose property is not <mainly> in other wards, and, especailly [sic], one who has no pe-

culiar local interest outside of his ward. The policy

of dividing the City into wards, is to give each portion of, the City an advocate of its own interest.

wm. u vvuuviiuiau au cmiicilh uu VUCtUC VI SUCH interests, his own should be identical with the interests of his ward. Applying this test, who will be a better advocate of the Second ward's interests than Henry Ttttewiler ? His property all lies in

the 2d ward J and connected with this, his known integrity, capability, experience, and past services, are a guaranty that he would make an excellent member of the new Council. Whose property lies mainly out of the second ward ? Does Candidate's, and correspondent's, in any instance 1 Who is interested in certain Railroad projects with which the mass of the citizens of the second ward have no sympathy 1 Can " Q. in the corner of the 2d ward"

tell ? Think; and do not let the fact that there is another candidate of integrity; good sense,and good character, besides your present Councilman, mislead you into a betrayal of your best interests. X in the Centre of the 2d Ward. Mr. Editor : Last week " Q " in the corner of the 2d ward, wrote a communication favorable to

the election of a worthy citizen (James Gillespie) as councilman for . that ward. ; This is all well enough, but little does " Q" know of the powerful opposition he has to contend with. In the first place, Mr G. has an opponent who has already served three years in the council, and who is again brought out by a man whose skill in building hospitals, regulating mechanics, &c. is not to be surpassed, and he has been for a long series of years considered the elephant " all along." This famous candidate maker is of the Shylockian school, and some in calculating simple and compound interest. When I reflect upon the powers that " Q" has to contend with, and the change he desires in the representation in the council, I am not unmindful of the means that will be used to defeat the man of his choice, and continue in office the present councilman. ,In fact it reminds us of a parable in Holy Writ. " A certain man had a fig tree planted in a vineyard ; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he .unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold these three years I come seeking fruit on- this fig-tree, and find none ; cut it down ; why cumbereth it the ground. And he answered, and said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, 'till I shaU dig about it and dung it." "This is somewhat similar to the affairs in the 2d ward. The present councilman has been in office three years, and it appears " Q" has been putting spectacles on his nose and straining his optics ever since, but finds to his sorrow that no fruit has been brought forth that we have not the right kind of z fig-tree, nd that we must engraft a new scion into the body corporate, and he has found one that ought cannot be said against, save by insinuation, or interrogation. But theShylockwho has so many

dead falls set to catch those whom he would devour, who figures in. agencies, counts interest, &c, re-nominates the old councilman, and in effect says not so, Mr. Q, let Mr. councilman alone this year also ; may-be you will see some more digging done. I think the voters of the 2d ward understand both sides of the question, and if they don't fix it right it will be their own fault. A Looker on in the 2d Ward.

Mr. Editor : The citizens of our city will not be unmindful, it is hoped, of the importance of our city election which comes off on this day ( Saturday ) commencing at 1 o'clock. In addition to a councilman to be elected in each ward, we have also a Mayor to elect. And much it may be truly said, depends on this officer, as well in the administration of the laws as in the suppression of vice in all its multiplied forms. As one of your citizens, after glancing at the list of candidates, I am encouraged to hope that we shall have a board elected composed of competent and efficient men. It is no place for men of sinister views and groveling aims. Without any desire whatever to disparage others, there is at least one gentleman whose experience, as a financier, in places of high public trust, have indeed been Very ample. A Voter.

SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1849.

' Don't forget the City Election this afternoon. Awnings. These few warm days have brought all the awnings out on the sunny side of the street. - Important Arrival The Rev. John D. Hopkins has arrived in this city, after a tour through the western states. He appears to be in good health, and will no doubt give a history of his travels to any person that has the dimes. Railroad Accident. On Monday last, when the train of cars were within a few miles of this city, the Locomotive run over a young cow, which threw the hindmost passenger car off the track, upsetting andjjreaking it, and injuring several of the other cars. There were about 25 passengers in the car that upset, several of whom were bruised, and otherwise injured, but none seriously. The cars performed their regular trip the next morning. Court. On next Monday the term of the Circuit Court will commence in this city. There are a number of important cases that will most probably be brought up during the term, among which are three trials for murder and manslaughter. The Court House has been fitted up in handsome style, and will ready for the opening of the Court on Monday. Fire. On Sunday morning last, the city wa3 alarmed by the cry of fire, about 3 o'clock in the morning. The alarm was caused by the burning of the large frame building west of the canal, the property of the Bellefontaine Railroad company,' which was entirely consumed, and made a beautiful fire. The house was formerly apart of the Henderson tavern, now the Washington Hall, and was moved to its present position when the Hall was built. It had been occupied by some Ladies of loose morals, who had been ejected by the owners but a few days before the fire. The house was evidently set on fire, and as yet no arrest has been made of the incendiary: Side "Walks. The majority of our side walks are in a very bad condition, particularly those on the principal streets ; with judgment they might be repaired with but little expense at present, but if neglected longer will not only be annoying to the citizens, but far more, expensive. Why not, Mr. Council men, instead of bestowing your attention and labor upon that portion of our city which is comparatively unknown to the majority, bring it to bear upon that part where the most good may be accomplished, and where the mass may be most benefited. This course it seems to us would be the proper one to pursue. We heard of an accident which befel a young lady, in her attempt to cross one of those bad side walks, who fell and injured one of her-- limbs. This is sufficient warning to others, to be careful in such attempts.
