We had aipcercly , hoped to bo spared Iba necessity of again adverting Wthls unpleasant aobject; but last Telegram" of this city, both editorially and otherwise leaves us no election. We not only feel at liberty, bat invited nay, challenged to speak plainly. We shall do so, pointedly and in a manner not to be mistaken or misapprehended. 'Wo shall ' nothing extenuate, nor (we hope) set down ancht in malice." In the first place, we disclaim, most emphatically and without any
reservation, having entertained any
but the most friendly feelings to
wards the Mayor, personally all
our personal relations with hiin
had always been cordial and unre served. We had no wish, as we
certainly had no cause, to bear ourself towards him in any bat the most kindly spirit. t We shared in common with his many' friends an honest pride in bis war efforts, and lent our bumble aid in electing him to his present, position. We utterly repel the unmsnly imputation, that we had . a solitary private grief to redress, in aught we have said, or may say of . him. . We have been a citizen of Richmond, for more than a third of a century have shared in its prosperity, and borne our part in its less prosperous days. Among its honored and respectable people, we may, without egotism, claim many warm friends, to whose good
opinion, and to whose ! confidence,
we are very far from feeling an in
difference; In truth, , we hope always to cherish a worthy ambi
tion, to merit and to secure a continuance of the esteem of all good
citizens; but, in our judgment, we
would justly incur a forfeiture of that good opinion and of that con
fidence, were we to be a tlme-ser- j ving journalist We shall never 4 'crook the pliant hinges of the knee, that thrift may follow fawning." There is only one thing on which we place a higher estimate than any opinion of us self-respect and a consciousness of having discharged our duty, not only to onrself, bnt to the position we occupy. We, by no manner of means, claim infallibility exemption from liability to err but we T have never, wontonly, knowingly misrepresented any person , without being willing, when advised of any wrong, to m&ke the amende; when having
satisfactory evidence, at least that
we had been instrumental in inflicting a wrong on any one through our paper. We hope we have not been an ignorant student of the duties of
an editor, and of the mutual relations of Patrons and a public Journal. We have deemed these remarks not uncalled for, and we may without inpropriety add, that we have very recently been the recipient of substantial evidence of approval of our course by at least tome of the most respectable citizens. We hold that when the partial suffrages of the people place a man in an office of honor and profit, the recipient of the honor -voluntarily
puts himself under the highest bonds to .keep the peace to ob serve at least tbe -common decencies of life, and to make the good opinion and approbation of his constituents his aim and rule of action. Perhaps tbe second day after the disgraceful emute at "Headquarters," we bad prepared and partly set in type a short article condemnatory of the Mayor, on what we then believed, and have since had ample reason for believing, reliable information. The
Mayor, learning onr intention, called on us and gave his version of the matter. Not wishing to misrepresent any one, and much less to do the Chief (Executive of the city injustice, the article was not printed. On the following day, in
company with two other gentlemen, we called on Mr. Case, whom we did not know, nor did we before know even that there was such a man. The most exemplary christian in the city, could not have borne himself more handsomely
manifesting not the least vindictive feeling towards the Mayor. He protested his innocence of watching the Mayor, or of knowing that he needed watching, and had not or did not seem to have had the least idea that he had violated any ordinance, much less was he aware
of the fate that awaited him in going with the Mayor to Police Headquarters and admitted that no one interfered with the mass, until some one (Lacey, he believed,) attempted to separate the Mayer and himself, and in doing so, to loosen bis grip on his honor, kicked him severely in the aide, and exhibited
the swollen place, i He was lying on a lounge and; to all appearance.
could not turn himself on the
couch, without pain in the side;
and, in all substantial particulars,
bit statement was the same as that 1
given before the Grand Jury, and
as we understand it is making, to msahlt and cowardly manufacture
psrskcution (!) in behalf .of the
Mayor, we are determined to make it the think est capital ever invested in that line of business:
While we are not disposed to
wor than confirmed by three per- charge all the lawless" acts ena
una in me aujoining room. , mitted in our midst, to the Mayor,
w e tnouia uave stated that, in we state what every sessiijle citi-
the Mayor's voluntary interview zen knows to be true, when we say
with us, he voluntarily gave us a that much, very much of the law
reason for being near the house in lessness and irregularity that have
question, that intending to leave disgraced our city, for whose good
for Washington the following day, name and fair famo we, in common
ua uaa cone 10 see ins brotner. who wun an respeciauie citizens leel a
lives near by, but whose place of lively interest, has drawn its inspi-
business Is up town on Main St., ration from that source
I 1 A. . . . .
10 Dorrow some lunds to defray we ne noi uone wuu
his expenses. " In his prepared
speech delivered before tbe Coun
cil, he stated that his being in the vicinity was because he had been
or was going to the depot to tele
graph to his wife, who was absent
from the city on a visit.
When we remember that his brother's place of business is on
main street, ana mat mere are two telegraph offices up town, we
now take the liberty of disbeliev ing both statements.
In the evening after the spiieful arrest esse bad been disposed of
by the Mayor, the defendant came
to our office on business, and vol
untarily, so far as we are concern
ed, in the most unequivocal laneuage, corroborated, nd more
than confirmed ail - that Case had
stated belore the Grand Jury. He
also stated that two other parties
in his room, at the time of the
Mayor's attack on Case, would
confirm his statement He also
said that he knew the Mayor's
voice well and unmistakably was
well acquainted with his style of svnarintj that he uttered the most
villainous oaths tiiat Case, or who
ever the attacked party was, beg
ged for dear life not to be struck acknowledging himself drunk, but said he had a nice family, and that the Mayor struck hits a number of
times, perhaps more than a dozen
blows, before the assailed even at
tempted to defend himself. To this he stands ready to swear, and we have reason to know that tbe other two parties in the room with
him will swear to the same. Now, we ask, what becomes of Case's "perjury," and who is the perjured party? ' We are not Mr. Case's defender. He, unfortunately, is given to intoxicating drinks, and doubtless, like some other people, when under their influence, does acts that are disreputable. Ho is also a poor man has no social standing; but we have yet to learn that poverty is a crime. Wo are in tbe same category, -fend -a fellow-feeling makes us wonderfully sympathetic. We do not propose seeing him kioked or otherwise ratal-treated, because he is poor and xemains silent that's all. We have also -to say,
with these facte before us, that, if
any ardent admirer of the Mayor's conduotin the premises, expects
us to say that Case cot no more
than be deserved, he will be mis
taken. Such admirer will have to
go to the "Telegram" for that com
fort.
In this connection; we call attention to the fact of the Mayor
not having passed his prisoner over to the -Chief of-Polioe, for his
safe keeping and the production
of his . body before his honor the
following -morning, to answer the
charge of a breach -of law, for which the Mayor claims to have arrested him. This procedure
would have saved any collision why was it not done? The result shows the Mayor's animus to have
been not to punish an infraction of law, but to wreak his vengeance on Case personally. But suppose Case to have bsen arrested by the Mayor in the discharge of his duty, and that what took place occurred just as stated by his honor, wo ask and to this point we call special attention did the Mayor's whipping Case in self-dkfkncb
satisfy the violation of a law or city ordinance by Case? We think
not; and further, we are clearly of
opinion, Mr. Mayor, that the whole thing was a bkt-up job. You may
fool the 'Telecram," or those
willing to bb foolkd, we respectfully decline the impeachment of being so verdant, as to ihbibb anything so extremely gushingly green. We consider that the attack on
Case, under all the circumstances as herein given, was cowardly, and unworthy of any person calling himself a man. Nor do we propose b'eing either bullied or Ked into silence. "' We have no desire to advise,
much less to dictate tbe course to
be pursued by the other papers in
the city. If the acts detailed by
ns, and proved to cs, to be true,
can find defenders or apologists in the other city journals, that is the
respective editors' business not
ours. We shall ''paddle our own
canoe," and if the attempt is made,
that we have made any mistatementa, in case our motives are aspersed, we shall not retract a word, but defend our position. We have weighed well our words, of which we have a clear conception. We mean just what wrc have said, and said just what we mean. II this be treason or "persecution," all wc have to odd, is: "make the best of IT."

the
Mayor. We are entirely within
the bounds of truth, in caving that,
for many months previous to the
embroglio at the Police Headquar
ters, our city was scandalized by
the report, not rare or occasional
or exceptional, but repeated and very general, that the "corpora
tion" in tbe person of its Mayor, was in the habit, not only of im
bibing the ardent, but of getting
drunk, and, by his habitB, as well
in this as in other respects, giving
encouragement and license to unofficial sinners to imitate his evil
example. The city press generally,
was very forbearing to his perni-
this di3-
cious doings, and wc are far from

sure tuat wb did our wbole duty
in this regard. We hoped, rather
than believed, that there had been
exaggerations, and we did not de
sire to give unnecessary publicity
to tue various scandals ailoat we
bore and forbore.
Then came his wanton attack on Mr. Petchell. We were still
silent, and we fear that he constru
edour almost criminal neglect of
duty, into a complete immunity for anything he might do. There is scarcely a live citizen of our place
wdo does not Know tuat we are
now naming facts ; or, at least, al
most universal and very generally credited rumors ; and yet, in the
face of these accumulated villanies,
the Mayor, it seems, proposes now
to put us on the defensive, intima
ting, nay, charging, that from some base, sordid motive, he is persecu
ted!: impudence brass, is no
name for this bold effrontery ; and
we now serve notice on him, bis
abettors and apologists that, so far
as our humble efforts can effect it
he goes on the "mourner's bench'
of public opinion. When we know
we are right, it is not in his power successfully to misrepresent our motives with Impunity. If, in our
fully settled purpose, we shall be
sustained and upheld by all our better citizens, 'tis well we shall be thankful and grateful for the
encouragement But, whether we
shall be or not, we shall see to it
that the guilty be made to appear
in .tueir true colors stripped 01 their masks. Are we now under
stood ? We hope so. In all we have said, it has been more in sorrow than in anger. We have stated our strong convictions, forced upon us by the evidence herein given, and by facts known to every citizen who is not wilfully ignorant. Belief is not always a
choice. Nothing could more gratify us than to have it in our power to look upon the Mayor as a hightoned gentleman, conscientiously observant of all moral duties as an unrelenting opponent of that scourge of -the human race, into r.perance as exemplifying in his person a model for the imitation of the youth of the city as a Christian, in fact, with no bigot's cant, or hypocritical pretense, whether
professing communion with a
church or not an infusing into
the .community, which has made
him Its honored representative, a high moral influence for good. But
his own conduct, since he has been
in office, has been the very reverse of all this ; and as truth, as well
as justice, is the back-bone of
' DEATH OF ALICE CARY. Miss Alice Cart, the Toetess, is dead. She was buried on the 14th inst. from the Church of tbe Stranger, in New York City. The Cincinnati Commercial says:
At the age of fifty one, distinguished literary woman
appears from an existence, in which, in spile of a feeble physical organization, sho has won an enduringfame by a refined and bnsy
pen. iNever in ber lite possessing an overflowing vitality, she has long been a sufferer from cancer, and for the last two years, from paralysis. No word has reached us of late that her sickness had
assumed a fatal aspect, and
death on Sunday morning must have been unexpected. She has gone, leaving many lines which will not perish, and no line that any true and gentle nature could wish to blot. Alicb Cart was born in this county in 1820, a few miles north of Cincinnati, where she and her sister Phcebb, also unmaried, continued to live until they removed to New York twenty-ono years ago. For the last twenty-five years Alicb Cart has been a writer for the press and magazines, her field being poetry and fietion. The delicate, individual flavor of her poetry attracted attention at the outset of her career. Almost every peom she has ever published has this merit, a touch of power in illuminating a word or turning a descriptive passage that is entirely her own. Her first complete poe
tical triumph iu the popular sense was in "Lyra," first, published in the Homb Journal with a flattering notice by N. P. Willis, who admiringly pointed out that it was a woman's echo of Milton's "Lycidas." Miss Cart's novels are quiet pictures, beautiful in sentiment and transparent as crystal in moral tone, but not strikiug in incident or arrangement, nor indicative of breadth in the delineation of men and women. But her poems have a quality that is due to her genius that no mind except her own could precisely impart. Prior to 1860 several of Miss Caky's stories appeared in this journal in a serial form, having been written expressly for th Commercial; and many of ber original poems first appeared in our columns. The
stones were wioely read and enjoyed, and the poems were universally copied.

For the Palladium. TO THE RESCUE! Mr. Editor. Ar Nolo and Volo have left Jefferson to explore Salt River alone, we have come to as sist him in taking the soundings. Jefferson said he did'nt refer to Com. Wells' Report to prove that the duty of 1842 reduced the price of salt. If he had referred to the Report for that purpose, it would have been pulling bis own legs off. A protective duty means to raise
the price of the imported article. To impose a duly that reduced the price of the import would be a bad thing, especially from a protective stand-point. But Jefferson referred to the re
port to prove "that salt is not an article by which the operation of a protective tariff can be satisfac
torily tested. If the present duty on salt don't protect and satisfy him, why does ho work so hard to
keep up the dut-vl
Jefferson thinks that, from 134b
to 1856, when the duty on salt was
2 1-2 cents, the price of salt was higher than it was when the duty
was 8 cents. He confounds Turk's Island salt with common salt, and
thus comes to an erroneous conclusion. Turk's Island, lying near
the equator, makes its salt by eva
poration, bait thus made is purer, preserves meats better than boiled
salt, and weighs ib pounds per bnshel. Boiled Bait weighs but 56. The average yearly production of
Turk s Island salt is only one and a half millions of bushels, and cost; in 1866, nine cents per bushel. The limited product doesn't allow
it to govern the price of our heme
product, noi that of other salt
To substantiate this position we
will compare the prices of the two
products, in the New York market.

Of all diseases that flesh is heir to, none arc so certain to produce death as those of the Heart and Lungs. Persons suffering from diseases of the Heart are liable to drop down dead ot any moment, unaware of any more than usual difficulty of breathing, or fatigue. How often do we hear of some friend o:racquaintance dying while sitting at his or her meal, or found deudin bed; and till more frequently do we hear that such a one had only slight fluttering t the heart:
others drop dead while performing some light labor, or with the least excitement; while the invalid suffering from diseases of the Lunes.
is slowly but surely dying by inches, without some judicious treatment to aid nature to throw off diseases from the Lungs. To easily cure the above diseases, first requires immediate attention to every symptom that may present itself, at the different stages ot the disease; and the treatment should be in accordance with each symptom. Thousands Buffer untold misery from resorting to unqualified pretenders of the age, who profess to understand the treatment of diseases of the Heart and Lnngs, but who in reality know bnt little of the diseases, except a slight knowledge that they have acquired by reading the suggestions of some conceited author, whose experience in too many instances has been but meagre at best; many of whom have perhaps never disected the Heart or Lungs after death. In order to be a successful pi actitioner in the treatment of Heart and Lung diseases, requires a constant, extensive practice, to enable the person to mako a correct diagnosis of the disease. This done, he must be well posted in its treatment, since this can only be accomplished by treating many thousand similar cases. Thousands of lives are annually sacrificed by the employment of unskilled physicians, in the treatment of diseases of the Heart and Lungs. How often do we see and hear of persons almost gone with Consumption in fact, given up, by perhaps, a dozen doctors; who, ul
timately, by placing themselves under the
treatment of some eminent physician, be
come healthy and sound, or at all events, as much so as the nature of their disease could possibly admit of. Instances of this kind
are familiar to thousands. A consumptive
man ol means who thinks more or his health than he does of his money, reldem loses an
opportunity of consulting a physician who
' has attained a high reputation in the treat
meni of that particular class of diseases in
wuicn ne is moss interested. Mcnre it is few of this class, comparitively speaking, die
for want judicious treatment; at least 'their life is prohmged in their cases for many
years. hile on the other hand a man of
narrow contracted mind who is conceited
withal, thinks that Ins Umily or home nbv
sician, of a particular creed, "is fully capable to perform the desired results. Thus he places himself under the care of an experimenter, losing time and health, until finally too late for any human aid; continuing to sink under the treatment of cod-liver oil and
stimulauts, till at last he similes off this mar
tal coil And for what? Just for want of manly independence: a free hart: a free
purse; and a judicious course of treatment from a physician of experience in treating
many toousana similar cases to bis own
Dr. BORT would here remark that his
treatment in diseases of the Throat, Lungs
Heart, Catarrh, Deafness and Female Dis
eases is entirely different from any other per'

Healing Power of Eclecticism.
Demonstrated ou oner loelveTiouBand Invalid, i
by Dr. Bort, of N. Y. There is a healing power among us; a physicion who baa cured
thousands in this city, after all Other sys
tems have been exhausted; a physician who is curing, and further pledging himself to
cure, nearly all cases have baffled the skill of hundreds of medical men in all past ages and even bids defiance to all modern practice; and lastly there is a physician who can produce thousands of certificates from some oi
the most reliable individuals in the city, as well as elsewhere, who have been positively
and permanently cured after all other treat
ment alter tbe most eminent medical men had failed! Yea, verily, and that pbrsiciau
is Dr. Bort, whose infirmary is located on the corner of Third A Vine sts.. St. Louis.
Dr. Bort, we verily believe, baa cured more
chronic cases in the past four months, in St.
Louis than all the medical men who have ev
er practiced their professions here for those
diseases. He makes as specialities, viz: Dis
eases or tbe tye, tar, Lungs, Throat ana ua-
tarrh. 1 bis assertion may look like boasting.

More than ftOO.OOO of these watches are now speaking for themt elves in the pockets of the people a proof nd s guarantee of their superiority overall I'tbert. . - The superior orgtiTiititinn and great extent " of the Company's Woiks at Waltham.enables tbem to produce watches at a price which renders competition futile, and those who bny any other watch merely pay from 25 to 60 per cent, more for their watches than is necessary. These time pieces combine every improvement that a Ion experience has Droved of
real practical use. Having had the refusal of nearly every invention in watch-making orig- ' inating in this country or in Europe, only those were finally adopted which severe testing by tbe most skillfull artisans in oar works, and long use on the part of the public, demonstrated to be essential to correct and enduring time-keeping. " ' -- 1 Among tbe many improvements we would particularize: t - f 1 The invention and use of centre pinion of peculiar construction, to prevent dsge to the train by the breakage of main springs, is original with the American Watch Company, who, baring bad the refusal of all other contrivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion as being the best and faultless. Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now ' universally admitted by Watchmakers to be the best, are need ia all grades of Waltham Watches. ' . All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps protecting tbe movement from dust, and les . selling tbe necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in all watches. : Our new patent a I em winder, or keyless watch is already s decided success, and a great improvement on any stem-winding watch in the American market, and by far the cheapest watch of its quality now offered to the public. To those living in portions of the United States where watchmakers do not abound, watches with tbe above mentioned improvements which tend to ensure accuracy,' cleanliness, durability snd convenience, must pi eve invaluable. .-.

Our consumption of Turk" Island salt is probably not more than one-twentieth of ocr total consumption ; and its price is not the same as other salt. The tarifl does raise the price of the domestic production, and the imported article, too. In 1840, common salt sold in New York at 32 cents, in 1841 at 26 cent3 per bushel. Under the 8-cent duty of '42. it rose to 35 cents iu 1845, and to 40 cts. the'next year. During ihe three years of 1849, 1850, 1851, Ononda
ga salt sold as low as 70 cents per barrel. From 1850 to i860, it never sold for 32 1-2 cents per bushel, at least it never averaged near that much. A high duty affects Turk's Island salt to some extent, in spite of its cheap production. From 1821 to 1839, inclusive, the price of that salt averaged ' 50 cents per bushel. After the repeal of the duty, it fell to 29 cents in 1841, For 1863, it averaged 40 cents. The protection ot salt is satisfactory to the manufacturer, but it is not to the people.
