A correspondent Of the Courier and Enquirer
states that when the steamer Franklin arrived at
Havre, the Cunard line put down their rates of
freight from $40 per tun to $50, in order to choke
off this new competitor. The Agent Of the Frank
lin thereupon reduced his rates to s25 per tun and
at that rate took $50 tuns, while the Cunarder got
but "a packages. AS soon as the Franklin was
gone the Cunard line announced that they should
again charge $40 But as soon as the Franklin
was advertised a second time at Havre, the Gu
nard Agent announced that he would receive
freight at slO though that will hardly pay for
transportation to Liverpool The Agent of the
Franklin met this by fixing bis charges at $50 as
the lowest rate at which the business could be
done without loss.

Shocking Picture of Dissipation, Destruction
and Death.


We gave an account in our evening edition of
yesterday, OF the death of young woman lodging
in a cellar, No 293 Ann.st., from restitution and
exposure to the cold. The following facts in re-
gard to her dealt were elected before the Coro-
ners Inquest, and present such picture Of crush
ing poverty, degradation and despair as we can
hardly realize to have abiding place and existence
in any community, civilized or barbarous. And
we believe that the widows mite" affection
ately bestowed upon the unfortunate girl, Mar
garet Moran, would have caused quite as much
Joy in heaven as the conversion of Japanese

eight thousand dollars We give the testimony
of one witness, examined by Coroner Pratt:

Qua iiiicaslOns a Mayor of this City
should possess.

/. He should have legal knowledge, and lit
erary talent, sufficient to enable him to draft city
ordinances, and such other papers aud docu-
ments as properly belong to this Office to pre-
pare and present.
2 He should have some knowledge of Parlia-
mentary law and rules, so that, as presiding
officer OF the Council, he may be able to act
intelligently and with efficiency.
8. He should have some talent as public
speaker, SO that called upon, unexpectedly" or
otherwise, he may be able to acquit himself
with credit as the highest official dignitary of
the city.
4. He should be a man Of benevolent feeling
tempered with good deelof sound discretion,
so that as Oyerseer of the Poor, he may do no
wrong to them, nor injustice to the city.
5. He should be a man of precise and care
full business habits, SO that in the discharge
of his mulGtarous duties, confusion may be
avoided, and his pupers and accounts always be
found in an understandable condition.
6. He should be a man disposed to shrink
from no danger where duty calls him
As a member, and presiding officer of the Board
of Health, he should at all times be ready and
able to advise, and act in time of danger, pesti-
| lence, and death.
There are other qualifications requisite
These however, are the most prominent to be
noted 1t is to be hoped, the citizens Of oul
city, in the selection of their Mayor, will pay
some attention to these requisites, and if they
can't find man who possesses them all, to gel
as near the mark as possible, and not select one
who is utterly deficient. No personal or party
considerations should induce a single voter, who
properly values the interests, and credit of the
city, to give bis support to an unworthy and I'M
qualified candidate.
