TIE WEArHER.-Well might the Ba,

Now, by my life, this day grows wondrou, hot;
Some airy devil hovers in the sky
And pours down mischief"
For the day was one Of those crises In Summer
when ordinary suffering rises to the dignity Of ssjoy
ment and ordinary heat assumes a GOODNESS positively
grateful "The sky shall be brass above you saith the
Scripture, and so, indeed, 1t vas, for
"All In hot and copper sky
The bloody sun at noon
Right up above the City stood,
No bigger than the moon,"
but terrible sight hotter Thermometers, longer
cenhgrsde, became roamers 10 high degree In fact
they have scarcely been so arin heat before IF
"what everybody says must be true" then yesterday
was the hottest since the memory of man. We

Ing 49, 81, &c, and still ambitious of rise Al midnight
a relieving breeze came from the West and for mo-
nent we envied the world asleep that could not fully
enjoy the grateful coolness.-Shl, we fear another
burning to-day.

the subject, were evidently from pen and were of

bill the Mayor actually in The City, The legality of
the act may be hereafter tested In Court
5th. Whether the Mayor was or was not plvposelyen
tced from the City will not stop 10 inquire; but II Is
a notorious fact apparent TO every one that Conptons
sollcitude In regard to this particular bill exceeded all
bounds Of decency that any conscientiously honest
would have left for the action of the real Mayor
to whom it properly belonged
9th. 1t La hardly possible TO doubt-ia fact the evil
dence almost precludes doubt-tha the entire matter Of
the taking of the contract from Pettgrsw co. was
done by the most infamous bribery that from forty to
fifty thousand dollars used to buy the UOtes Of

constitute a large proportion Of The Common Council
We repeat what stated at the beginning of thi,
item, that there Is no "queston of veracity" between
the Mayor and Alderman Compton except in the lying
representations of those editors who have purposely
misstated the matter; that Alderman Compton did
sign the bill about IL A. NJ the 18Th, accordingto
bis own statement while the Mayor did not leave the
City until nearly p NJ ofthe same day
We neither expect desire that the Mayor will en-
ter the sts with Compton to veracity we do not do
sire to doubt the word of either but Is worse than
wicked for editors who know better to wifdly msre
present the matter.
