that position among the cities of the State, to which she
has ever been entitled, but never maintained, owing to
the lethargy OF sons who seemed willing to let 4" well
enough alone, " until even that I" enough" had well nigh

MEETING OF THE CrY CouscIL.-A called meeting OF
the City Council was held on yesterday evening to consider
a communication from R. NJ. Burton, Chief Engineer of the
FIRE Association, in reference to the ~propriety of appro-
priating a sufficient amount to provide suitable Fine En-.
gines for the city. lie recommends that all appropriation
oil sll,93O be made for the purchase of four Engines, one
hook and ladder truck, six thousand feet of leather hose.
anu Tor the erection of a suitable building for hose and
truck.
The Council at first agreed to act upon it ut once but
upon the representation of Mr.. Myers, the President, and
that they may act more undcrstandingly upon the matter,
1t was agreed to refer it to the committee on Finance. /,
it came up, we believed unanimous vote would have been
had upon il.
We would suggest to the Council that they had better
retain that sum than throw it away upon useless Engines
such as could be bought for the amount required. Let
them be good Engines or none. Further proceedings to.

Nor otr or rHE WOODS rEr.-The South Side Democrat
of yesterday handles us pretty roughly. in a long editorial,
for our recent criticism on John S. Caskie's speech at the
New Orleans Relief Meeting held at Metropolitan Hail.
We have already encountered two discharges from the
Enquirer in one issue, both Of which be,ray a degree of
resentment that strongly indicates how destructive has
been the criticism of the fair fame Of their idol orator.
The superficial tinsel has been removed, and all the COM
binations displayed in their naked mperfections-a bitter
spectacle to the admirers Of this genius Of Democracy, no
doubt. Hence this bitter resentment.
The South Side Democrat, like our neighbor, evidently
misconceives our views in relation to that obnoxious crit.
cism. Political malignity they assume to have been the
ruling influence in that connection. We should suppose
our adoption of the views advanced by Mr.. Caskie, in his
opposition to an appropriation by the Common Council in
aid OF the New Orleans sufferers, ought to satisfy hem that
our criticism was actuated by no such feelings. We mere-
iy dealt with his merits as an orator, and not the views
proclaimed by him in his denunciation of the principle of
resorting TO the Council for means To relieve the New Or
leans sufferers. II the enlightened organs are not salts

RICHNESS OF our views on the merits, or rather dement's. of
hr. Caskie as an orator, will not be the more impeached
in consequence.
