possible that the Aldermen adulterated their milk
with anything except water We note, Also that the
City Hall gentry enjoyed cake, chickens, oysters,
vsnison and cigars, all which were denied to the
other public feeders. This partially should NOT ss
allowed all those unfortunate individuals who rely
upon the public purse foy their sustensncs should b
treated alike, and 1t is high time that the establish

BULLETINS OF RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. -
An ingenious friend suggests that in these days of
crowded new spsper columns, judicious economy
of space could be achieved by introducing a new
obituary head, after the usual Births Marriages
and Deaths" Of" Deaths by Railroad" The reader,
expecting friend from the country, could then,
upon opening the paper in the morning, ascertain
directly II he had been killed or manned upon the
way. Our friend suggests the following as the
| proper form OF announcement: Yesterday, upon
the Hudson River, or Harlem, in the 1--WE O'Clock
train, Mr.. Mephstophiles Tidd, Of broken neck,
caused by a collision Of trains. Friends and rela.
tives are invited to sue without further notice.
This suggestion has the merit Of methodizng the
continual reports of railroad Casualties, which are
now such matters of course that IL 10 superaacus

NINETEENTH WARD ELEcrIoN.-Ths
Atlas, whose editor has been hearing the testimony
before the Common Council Committee in reference
to the election and riots last November, in the Nine
tssnth Ward, informs us that the testimony for the
people has just closed, and the defense will proceed
at some indefinite period. He says
We have attended the whols OF this investigation
and have well considered all the testimony and,
the way We look at things, Mr.. John Doherty and
Colonel Peter H. Brasso have no more right to seats
in the City Councils than We have. They have not
