MONDAY EVBH1MO, AFBIIj 7, 10D4. r. fleyl'i Opportunity. Andrew II. Dill deee net accept Wm. I Scott's statement that Dill was tlie Mdfdate of tlie Pennsylvania railroad fefKOTMrmr. Mr. Dill ought te knew Id this natter whereof he speaks ; but he does net content himself with his own authority, referring Mr. bcett for partie alar Information te his friend, Mr. A. J. Cassatt. New, It must be admitted that this is a particularly happy reference, net only bccauseMr. Cassatt Is known te be fully posted upon tlie political predilections of the Pennsylvania railroad at tlie time, being the head devil in Its manipu lations of that kind and having ft particular iutetcst In the ene thing which It wns then gunning for ; but also because Mr. Cassatt Is new a very par ticular friend and financial chum of Mr. Scott. They are together In various en terprises, having lately been bearing Jersey Central and Heading ; wlicre their fingers were burnt, and having, therefore, the cohesion of comrades iu suffering ; and being new engaged In building :i railroad down the Peninsular Sounds, from newhere te nowhere, upon nothing but bends, but expecting te be n link in a coast line extending te .Charleston, and te And their sands golden and te make their water wine. New, It is clear, upon the mentl in of these circumstances, that Mr. Cassatt Is just the man for Mr. Scott te ask whom he and the Feuns lvanla railroad sup ported for governor in 1S78. In fact, It seems se peculiarly appropriate that Mr. Scott should seek this Information from Mr. Cavatt, before stating that the Pennsylvania railroad was for Dill, that we are almost persuaded that he did sd. Butithedid, Mr. Cassatt mint have told him that he and the Pennsylvania railroad were for Heyt In the election, unless he lied te him, which he doubt less did net, since he would have no par ticular object in se doing. But Mr. Cassatt may have told him also that be was for Dill for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination ns against Hepkins, ns that was doubtless the fact. ItiB, In truth, only this Unit Mr. Scott clearly stated, though as he emitted te mention that alter the nomination the Pennsylvania railroad was for lleyt, Mr. Dill. Is justified in construing htm te have intimated that he and net lleyt was the Pennsylvania railroad candi date. And se te deny It ; and te quote Cassatt in contradiction et it; and te refir him le Cassatt for Information as te the narrow escape he had from being tent te the penitentiary fur bribing the Legislature te ray Ihe riot bill. Mr. DM says that it wns the consideration for the Pennsylvania railroad's support of lleyt that he should support the riot bill. A consideration of this character has been generally un derstood, and new Mr. Heyt has nn excellent opportunity te correct it if it is uet true. The ex governer.beine a vcrv reputable and clever gentleman, by leug odds the ablest and decentest Hepubll ran politician in Pennsylvania, has a standing te maintain, which calls en him te correct the Impression, if it In false, tnnt no inpseu irem grace aim compro mised his integrity bya bargain with Mr. Cissatt, which could net honorably he made. "We would have known all ab nit this le: g ngeitMr. Kembleand his fellow prison era had net se obligingly kept, their mouths closed as te the fact of their em pleyment by Mr. Cas3att ; a politeness ler which, however, they seen had their reward in their early relcisa from im prisonment. The governor was kind, as they had ticeu kind, and they came out of jail as Cissatt had kept out. By all means let Mr. Scott ask Mr. Cassatt about theie things, and th"i tell what he hears. It will be decidedly mere preDtable than te be opening old sores in the Democratic family and seeking te set Its monitors by the ears. We invite Mr. Scett'a attention te the Republican patty, ami Gov. llejt's attention le him- Etlf. The County Tax. The Republican members of ;he pres ent beard of county commissioners de de serve no credit whatever for their boasted reduction of thoceuiiy debt en or about the first of April tills uar. In 1883, when they proposed te levy a three mill county tax, ex Commlsileuer Ment geinery demonstrated unmistakably through these columns that a two and a half mill rate of tax would raise sulll sulll sulll clentmoney te meet all the expenses of the county and pay off a large ah.ne of the debt, qulte ns much in was neces sary te be paid in nny slngle year. In the face of this, the commissioners In slated en the unnecessarily high tax levy. The county tax Is paid in early In the summer and fall. Many of the col lectors, In order te make the five per cent, abatement for themselvei, pay the tax te thoceunty before they themselves have gathered It in. The result is a great plethora et money In the CJimty treasury from about August te Ayril. It Is net needed for public lues, and the fact that in the present cam paign the deposit and control et the tretsury balances are a great stake In me uepuuucan contest gives force te the suspicion that the extra tux levy of one half mill was imposed for the pur poss of raising money from the people for private benellts. Commissioners Sumuiynnd Myers cannot plead any error of judgment in this matter, for they were shown at the outset of the year that their levy was inordinate. They muit nnswer te the peeple for having collected a hundred thousand dollars from them for the baneflt of thesa who have the usa of it. This year they reduced the tax rate te 2 mills, thereby admitting that last year's levy was oxcesslve ; hut as Mr. Myers is a candidate f)r reelection It is likely the reduction was made for enm palgn purposes ; it is being used that way. But I he burned child ought te avoid thn Are. The policy which Mr. Myers has represented in olllce eheuld recelve emphutie condemnation. Treas ury surpluses and heavy taxes te raise money for balances te be kept en dopeslt eight months In the year, nre tlie bane et geed government nml it temptation te official extravagance. Edwin Stuiieis, of the Mtitz school beard, it Is reimrted te us, says that he did net knew what he wns doing when he signed a petition that thoceunty com missleners should award the collection of the county tax In Warwick township te the higher bidder.

Mayer Resenmlllur accompanied by Mayer MacGeulgle, being introduced by the committee, wns duly qualified by Councilman Evans and read the following address : Itie Inaugural AUilress. Mr. Chairman nnd Gontleraen of tbe Joint Conveutlen : In assuming the ofllce of mayor of La n caster eity, I feel oenfiout that I will roceivo your oerdial cooperation Iu the dlsaharge of my official duties. Having full contldeuoo in your honest intentions aud legislative wisdom, our united offerta should proveadvautageous te the affairs of the municipality whleh we uew have iu ohnrge, Constituted as our city goverument new is, both the oxecutive aud loglnlatlve branches being of the aame politieal coin cein coin plexleu, thore will be no escaping the responsibility should bad government prevail. Tbe important Interest of a eity llke ours requires eareful supervision. A population of 25,000 persons will leek te us te se regulate their inuuleipal affairs that they will peaceably enjoy their rights as oitizens ; and that the taxes they pay will be eoenomloally expended, and that they will reoelvo substantial value there thero there fer. Te give them nu efficient and economi cal administration I believa will be the honest effort of us all The citizens are te be congratulated that there will net hercafter be auy danger of a water famine, ene of the greatest calami ties thnt could befall any community. Tlie new (1,000,000 gallons Worthlngteu pump Is new nearly completed, and but for want of connection with the twenty four Inch main pipfl, would today be, pumping water This pump, lu addition te the present 9 000,000 gdleu pump of the same make, will furnish all the water required for years te oemo List S iturday I accepted the kind Invl . tntien el Hen. Jehn T. MaeG jnlgle and the water oemmitteo te acenuptny them en their last official visit te the wtterl weiks, nnd had the pleasure of witnessiinr i the movement of this beautiful ami power ful ptoeo of mechanism, I loe much credit cannot be given te thnie through whose efforts the elty has e ene into possession of this pump I hope, however, Hint it will net be taken amiss If I here mention that the pump hns net been pild for, nor has any prevision been made for Its payment by any nppre priatien out of the anticipated receipts for this year. In Justice te ouraelvos and without intending any reduction upon the former administration it is but right that the cltlzjns should understand that we are encumbered by heavy debts left un paid by the firmer administration and that if the negotiation of a new lean or an Increase of the tax rata becomes neeessary It is net by reason of nny expenditure en our part. I simply wish that the rospen slhtbty should be placed whero It preperly beleng, With your permission I will further state that I find that teal ostate consisting of four engine beuses, pur abused by the late administration, nre te te be paid for by us. I knew that you may answer me that they have been pre vided for by appropriations out of our ex pected receipts for this year. That Is re ; but it has necessitated the cutting down of the appropriation for repairs of streets uid ether npptoprlaMen te such an ex tent that the unecssary work canuet be dene. The flre department of our elty l effi cient. The city Is net, ns under the old system, being constantly thrown Inte excitement by false at inns of 11 re and the promptness aud disaiphti displayed when a tire actually does occur ontltles this department te our support and commenda tion. There e in be no room for doubt that thore is almost universal eimplaint of our citizens ngatust the present moth id of lighting thn streets with the Maxim olectrie light Tlie failure of se many of the limps te bum when they are most needed and the high flgure that is bMtig raid for this light Is sufibleut cause. Tbe division of seme of our largest wards into voting preclucts is being spikeu of, aud if seme of thorn oeutinuo growing iu sir.e as they have within the last few years it will bo:etno a necessity. The Sixth aud Eighth wards for instance Inve lu thn neighborhood of ene thousand voters living iu oaeh, and the polling of that large vete besides beiug ten labarieus for ene beard of ekoMen officers, often ttmes eis's tbe c.tizans the prlvilege of voting by rea son of the throng around the polls. Iu reference te the iiolleo ferce I would respcetfu'ly suggest that It is Impassible te properly police the eity with the pre etit small force. There nre but uine officers ou duty nt euu timeaud they nre supposed te be ou oeutiuu ins duty for twenty-four hours. I bave no hesitation in styiug that the duty rcquired of them is entirely tee ouerous nnd they are uuabln te faithfully perform all that is required of thorn, nnd tbe citizens therefore de uet reoeive the protection te which they are entitled. I have but brirlly alluded te a few of the lmpertaut matters which will be mero particularly called te your honorable bodies. I shall always be glad te co operate with councils aud nssUt you iu any way in my power. I wish te publicly express my thanks te Hen Jehn T. MaoGemglo, my predecessor for bis courtesy nnd kindness shown me while seeking information lu reference te the duties of my effice. At the conclusion of tlie rending of the address thumiyer and ex-mayor re tired. Mr. Riddle made a motion that a vete of thanks be exteuded te Hen. Jno. T. MncG)ttlgle ler tbe efficient and faithful manmr iu wh'ch he has fulfllled the duties of his office. Thn motion was unanimously adopted. I'el:ce Appointment!
