HE MAYOR AND THE NEW Cry CHARTER.-Un
der the new city charter, the Mayor and Common
Council are empowered with the appointments of
heads OF the different city bureaus, and these bu-
reaus, it seems, have the power to appoint their
own clerks. Previous, however, the first of June,
the Common Council, in conformity with the law,
made large number Of removals and appointments
to eilice. Among this number, two clerks, desig-
mated for the Chief of Police, were appointed
These two latter appointmentshav been considered
by many as illegal, as the Chief of Police, being
the head of that bureau, was entitled to appoint his
own clerks. Under these circumstances, upon legal
advice, the Mayor has refused to swear them into
office; and thus the matter rests at present
The charter says the Mayor shall nominate
Chief of Police to serve term of four years, and
that nomination is to be approved by the Common
Council.
Now the question arises, whether Mr.. Matsell,
the present Chief, can be removed before his term
of office expires, whether it is imperative on the
part of the Mayor, in conformity with the new
charter, that the appointment should be made p
The latter course appears to be the one intended to
be adopted, from the decisions of legal authority.
The inquiry is now, who will receive the nomi-
nation and appointment Mr.. Matsell, in all pro-
baliiy, does not expect it, being opposed politically
to the present party in power; although Mr. Mat
sell has filed the Office with great ability yet there
are others who have claim for the Office and are
considered equally as capable.
The Mayor has several applicants for this Office
now under consideration, the most prominent of
which, we understand, is Sidney II. Stewart, who
for some years past has been very actively engaged
az clerk Of the lower police court
1t must be understood that the duties of Chief
of Police are very laborious and responsible; there
tore, we trust the Mayor will select man from
among the present applicants, well fitted for the
Office, and, at the same tine, meet the wishes of
the people

IHE TENTH or MAY MASSACRE IN AsroR PLACE
This melancholy emeute is still discussed, in va
nous ways, In the newspapers throu gheut the
country, as well as in many of the weekly and
Sunday papers IN this and neghboring cities.
The account of the first portion of the business
having reached England, the papers there have
commenced the discussion; but when they receive
the full account of the massacre of twentv-tbree
citizens, and the wounding and manning of Gfty-
one more, on account of quarrel between two
miserable pay-actors, we may expect some curious
Developments of tho feeling excited by such oc-
currences in Christian and enlightened city. Va
rous efforts have been made by the authorities to
SHIFT the responsibility incurred by these evens but
In vain They cannot escape the consequences,
whatever they may be. The Corporation have had
the matter before them in various ways-some-
times IN the form Of bill from tavcrn-kecper.
for furnishing oysters and liquor to the police on
the night in question:; at other times in the shape
Of a resolution approving the conduc, of all par
tes concerned; and lastly, we have had notice of
the Introduction Of a bill OF damages claimed by
the management Of the theatre
We have already stated, that If any one ought to
be paid damages for the melancholy result of that
nights proceedings, the families and connexions of
those who were killed should come first on the list.
and we trust that efforts will be made by the friends
Of those unfortunate individuals, to collect infor-
nation as to the facts of the case and take the
steps necessary to secure this object highly res
pec'abe father of young family, was among the
Killed on that terrible night. Many others, no
doubt, were in the same predcament; but of the
particulars OF other cases we are not 80 well in
formed. There ought to be meeting of those in
teresfed In order to have the case brought before
the Corporation in the proper way.
A vast body of evidence taken before Judge Ed
monds, in relation to this case, has gone before the
Grand Jury, and WILL doubtless, form the subject Of
their official action. appears that several of the ia
dividuas who signed the card calling on Mr.. Mac
ready to fulfil his engagement, actually furnished
the rioters with tickets. If SO, the Grand Jury
must indc those persons for conspiracy to incitc
riot. The Goldfish democracy and the Goldfish
anstocracy are thus brought together In very
curious and interesting melange We have nc
doubt the Grand Jury will do it's duty, and we
await the deno,~nent ofthis strpnge business with
no little interest and anxiety.

CALICO PRINTING.

The following interesting sketch we ex-
tract from The "iisiory Of Wonderful In
ventions,"a work Of rare merit:
Among others who began 10 be affected
BY the growing spiri, Of enterprise which.
abou, The middle of the last century, per
vnded the manufacturing interests through.
out the North Of England, was a farmer Of
little means who lived at the village Of
Blackburn in Lancashire. lie was man
Of observan, and inqaring mind, shrewd,
diigeni, and energetic. Labor was Of lit
tie consequence, provided an object was
attained by il. He had remarked the ted-
BUSINESS Of the process by which the raw
cotton wool wes brought into state fit for
spinning BY the common hand card, and
he it was, as there is almost every proof,
that invented the cylinder for doing the
work so much better and cxpcdi,iouslv.-
Success attended him here sufficiently to
induce him altogether 10 give up farming;
and seeing every body busy about him, he
adapted himself to another part Of the bu-
siness, and the farmer turned calico prin-
ter. lie set 10 work, and with his own
hands he Gu, away on blocks Of wood with
such tcos as he could command til. he had
formed The figure Of parsley leaf At the
back Of each Of these blocks he put ham
die, and put little pin of strong wire at
each Of the four corners in front. Each of
these blocks was ten inches long and five
broad. He then got a tub, into which he
put some coored mixture with little alum
in it, He then covered the tub with a
woolen cloth which sunk ill, il touched the
coloring matter aud became saturated with
il. The calico was stretched tightly across
the table top, and the qnondsm farmer of
Blackburn then touched the woollen cloth
with the face Of his parsley leaf block, and
soon as the figure was fnirly covered with
the color he placed il sqnarely on the cloth
and struck i, sharply with mallet, 80 thai
the figure Of the engraving was left UPON
the white calico The little points at the
corners enabled him to repeat the process
with regularity, mud so he continued till tho
whole WINS complete. Soon as il was dry
his wife and daughters set to work and
ironed il with the common smoothing irons,
and this they continued to do for some
time. Bat the ingenious farmer was ne ill.,
tie satisfied with the loss Of time in this in
stance as be had previously been with the
hand card. and having seen the good effect
Of a cylinder in that case, he determined to

TUE SONG OF The FARMER.

BY II. A. DE FRANCE.
The farmer must early rise,
When autumn smiles sadly around;
Chill blows the wind, as forth he goes
To plough up the hardened ground.
Plough, plough, plough,
Work up the burrows deep
He must hard toll, while the rich man now
Takes his sweet comfort in sleep.
Plough, plough, plough,
Though his fingers are numb with the cold,
Plough, plough, plough,
And turn up the rich black mould.
Thus is prepared the soil,
To receive the tiny seed;
And many day he gives to toll
That he may earn his need.
Colder the winds each day,
Farther the sun sinks low;
The farmer must yet more labor give,
The seeds Of the grain he mus. sow.
Sow, sow, SOW,
Scatter the seed far and wide,
Harrow it well, neglect no. a row,
And then the warm spring time abide.
s'Sow, sow, sow"
Says the farmer with steady gait,
"Sow, SOW, sow,'
Or winter will find US late:
For its rude chill winds may blow,
The ground may be covered deep
With its cherries pail of pure white snow
And nought will there be to reap.
But winter has passed and gone,
And spring with many Sweet;
The summer has come, with it's rip'ning sun
And the farmer must work mid its heat.
Reap, reap, reap,
Cut down the rich golden grain,
Toll early and late, take little sleep
For the clouds may pour forth their rain.
RenP, reap, reap,
While the sun shines bright in the sky;
Reap, reap, reap,
Bind up the wheat end the rye.
The farmer surveys his broad fields
As he wipes his moistened brow;
His heartfelt thanks to God he yields
For the harvest gathered now.
