TIA "cool" telegraphic despatch from
Montpelier to the city press says that Royce
falls far behind his ticket, on account of his
"equyocal position on the temperance quc,-
ton"
The attempt made by few disappointed
and imprudent men, before election, to mis-
represent Judge Royce, will lessen Lis vote
little, but not materially. These friends Of
ten peranco" have dono more to injure the
cause within the last three months than ANY
other class of persons, They have done pre-
clscly what the enemies OF tho prohibitory
law would have them do.
Judge Royce has lost two kinds of voters
those drunk ON rum, and those drunk on wa
ter. In one town in Rutland , ouuty we
know he lost fifteen votes because he was n
temperance man and in favor of the promhi-
tory law, In other towns he lost n lew he

referred to the Police Committee.
Mr.. Stith, from the Committee appointed to
make arrangements for the celebration of the
Fourth of July, stated that the sum of $4,000
would be required to carry out the Committed
ideas of celebration, and offered resolution
appropriating that amount, which was lost. A
resolution was then offered placing the amount
at $4,000, which was also lost a resolution
| placing it at $2500 was also lost, the sum Of
| $4,000 was then proposed Mr.. Levy arose and
stated that if the City Council could afford to
expend four or five thousand dollars to get up
splendid reception for public men whenever they
happen to come to this city, and then refuse to
appropriate the pitiful sum of twenty five hun
dred dollars to celebrate the glorious anniver-
sary of our national independence, he would OPP
pose any appropriation whatever.
A long debate upon the best method of ma
king patriotic display followed. Col Camp
bell took the floor and opposed the resolution on
the ground that the plan of the committee, to
invite every body out to the Metairie Ridge and
furnish an unlimited supply of cold ham and
sour claret was not precisely tho most sensible
mode of doing honor to the occasion or Of in
spring sentiments of patriotism. He declared
that if the corporation would make an appro-
priation to get up grand cock fight at the Me-
tarie Ridge, bigger crowd could be attracted
than by any sort of celebration.
A number Of resolutions, naming different
amounts, were then voted upon and lost, and
the whole matter was finally laid on the table.

for the sale of u contract for supplying the oor-
poration with coal for one year, which was

priating $4,000 for the celebration of the Fourth
Of July, was not concurred in On motion
the vote was reconsidered, and an amend
ment, substituting $2500 for $4,000, was offered
and rejected,
Mr.. Stith then offered an amendment substi-
tuting $500, and stated that he did SO for the
purpose of enabling the Committee to make ar
rangements for some sort of celebration in the
city. This was adopted, and the resolution as
amended was sent to the Upper Board.
