Loco-Foeo Consistency.


The Wing Common Council repealed the ordl-
nance imposing restrictions upon the business of
weighing and gt.agng. This was not at all agree
able TO the present Common Council. While
thew talked loud about Free Trade they did
not like the idea of losing monopoly winch
NIGH. be turned to party account. Throwing
open the business of weighing and guaging TO
every respectable citizen who chose TO take out a
license was not in the least TO their taste, as Ii
deprived them Of an opportunity OF providing for
some of the numerous applicants, eager and ca
n.crous for the spoils of Office. Accordingly, the
present Common Council restored the old mo-
nopoly. pretending to discover that IN some pccu-
lar way the existing ordinance passed by the
Wings intericred with a certain State statute
But d large portion Of the Democracy was not 50
well satisfied with this lame apology. y public
meeting was called, and strong condcmnaory
resolutions passed. Some OF the Loco-Foco
members Of the Board of Aldermen resolved to
take the back truck and last Monday evening,
Alderman TiIlou brought forward an ordnance,
the same in substance as the one passed by the
Wing Common Council, and Just repealed by the
present authorities. Alderman Scolcs moved TO
lay it upon the table, for the purpose OF so amend
ine the ordinance as 10 include inspectors as well
rs weighers, measures and guagcrs. The ord-
nance so amended, was then called up by Alder
man ScoIcs, and It's consideration rotcd d0rn.-
When the subject of the Street Contract had
been laid upon the table, Alderman ScoIcs again
moved the consideration of the ordinance, OK
pressing his desire that the Board would take
hold Of the subject, and demonstrate It's returning
good sense and democratic spirit by again throw
Ing open the business of weighing measuring and
Guaging, and include inspection.
Alderman Purdy thought this queer legislation.
iIc did not like this bdckia" and filling. The
present ordinance was substantially the same as
that which the Wings had passed. lie had voted
against It's repeal. Still, since 1t was repealed,
he did not like to vote 70. a restoration of the
ordinance quito so soon. He wanted time to cx-
anime the ordinance.
AID. Tillou said that there was difference be-
tween the two ordinances. The Wing ordinance
provided that the Mayor should grant the licenses
the present ordinance provides that the WGyor,
1idclmcn and C0ntmOnaity shall grant the H.
ccnscs.
Aid Purdy-Oh pooh They arc substantial
ly the same.
AID. Scocs hoped there would be no delay.
The Aid. Of the 10th admitted that it was I'M
wise 10 repeal the ordinance passed by the
former Common Council. If so, then it would
certainly be wise TO restore it. The present or
dinancc was easily understood. 1t was only nc
ccssarv that it should be read. 1t was the same
in substance as the ordinance passed last winter,
except that it extended the free trade principle so
as to include Inspectors, us well as Wcighcrs,
Guagcrs and Measures.
The ordinance was laid upon the table'
DowN THE BM-Many Of our citizens arc
aware, but great many others arc not, of the ia
cilitcs for and pleasures of a voyage outside of
Sandy Hook We did not know till Monday
that any part Of the vicinity Of Ncw-York was
so fertile, productive and beautiful as are great
portions of Middlctown and Shrewsbury, the large
towns of Monmouth Co. N. ]. lying nearest to
past the Highlands of Ncvcrsnx, and up the
Shrewsbury Inlet, is delightful, and the ever
pcaling roar of the surf, as heard from the Ocean
House, Long Branch, sc. is a stirring sound to
one unused TO the seas pulsations. That Ocean
House, situated on little sand island, or penin-
sa at the junction of the Shrewsbury inlcts,
and looking broad off upon the stern Atlantic, is
u fair place for a roll in the surf, and capital
one for COOL wayc-lullcd sleep of hot nj ght
We hear Il good report, likewise, of the Washing
ton House. quiet boarding place for summer
guests two miles up the Inlet toward Red Bank
so of the similar establishment of Mr. Sherman,
near Long Branch. Here numbers of our citi-
zcns and their families spend week TO a month
of the hot weather. having every comfort afforded
them for some 81 to SG each per week. BY the
fast-saiIing steamboat Orus, they can revisit the
City III three or four hours of any day, and can
often come up in the morning, devote three or
four hours 10 business, and return by sunlight.
What could be more convenient The steau-
boat fare is some 80 cents.
The whole country below is suffering greatly
from drought. Grass will be light, and Oats are
burnt up. Corn rolled some, especially on the
poorer lands, but will yield we'll Rye and Wheat
arc tolerablc.
