/, is said of a ,rutE' hat in no city IN the
world ;s the municipal lax so high as in Phil
adsIphia. Such Mayors as whauou, Bones
sed Gilpin sustained ,bs dignity Of The city
with . salary Of $4,000, while in these pro-
gressiye days j, is raised to $1,000. The
police force pow numbers 500 men, exclu-

king the whole array il will make force
nearly equal TO tbs regular army of the Uni-
on. The Total municipal salaEiaa Of the
City, County and Districts under the oil sys-
tenn were s4s5,76l 60, while under the con-
soIidated government Of The Know-Nothines
they are 10 be raised 70 nearly s7oo, 900,
when the Total expense should be much lass
than before. The public contemplated re-
duction Of the number and salaries Of off.
GERS, and If any suck conduct as we now
witness had Been fofeseen, consolidation
would never have taken place.
The Mayors temperance dodge has caved
in riccIy. The SupremsCout has decided,
as long ago die every sound lawyer, that a
licensed landlord cannot be indicted for sell
ling liquor without a license under ME stat.
uie prohibiting disofdsdy bodsss, because
be sells on Sunday. The Sunday law Is
plair, but the act pnnish,ng the keeper OF a
disordsfly honse who sells liquor without IL
cense. con,emplstes qni;s different case.
The Mayor had bound over all the violaiors
Of ibs Sunday law, for keeping a disofderly
house and selling liquor uithopt lie ense, and
under the late decision all these cases will
be dismissed; and the Mayor has SO man
eyed the card that the Temperance men gs,
nothing BY his motion.
The cry about Foreigners in the public
Offices; turns out to be as ridiculous as every
other trick Of a demagogue. OF i52 ap.
poinIses nnder the general government in
this, city only fifteen are naturalized citizens,
and twelve Of these are only Nigh! Inspec-
tors, Walchmen OF laborers who receive
81 SO per day. Two are Inspectors, and The
remaining one an Examiner at the pay Of 80
q day. OF these men one, has been in tha
country IL years, one 81 years, two 23 years,
one "a years, four 21 years, one 20 years,
two 30 years, one 80 years, one 8 years and
one 80 years. Nearly OF quite all came to
this country quite young, and have children
--.some of the grand children born here.
Nobody 5s, demagosue would try 10 raise
a tempest against IS poo rlaborers AID watch
men. To raise a party against such formi-
dable force is a little ike dischatgius can
non at a wren and missing the mark.
But this cry against foreigners and Catho-
lies is q game ct which two can play, and
the laborers on the Hemp6eId Railroad laie-
ly came 10 the conclusion that they could
find as many chances to earn 81 i2i per day
by digging IL hours under a hot sun, when
the thermometer was somstimes 100 in the
shade, as Mayor Conrad could find chances
to govern city a. SIC, 900 year So they
hung up the shoysi and the hoe, and issued
their declaration or Independence. ConrAd
resigned the Presidency of tue Company,
