Mr.. EDrToR.-l notice ia your paper an
article signsd Citizen, reversing "Voter's',
article on the proposed loan. "Voter
wished to convey the idea that the City
Council's proceedings did not show business
capacity sufficient to guarantee the aug
mentation Of the revenue $4,000. In ex.
aiming the article on Front street, ! and
an amendment, was adopted to receive pro-
posals for said work. OF course, the work
was to be paid for in some way other t'ah
the plan proposed in the late model ordi-
nance, or business like, the Councii wouiu
have passed the ordinance fret and received
proposals alter. II said ordinance is SO
| common in other cities, | wonder the Couns
Gil didn't adopt it sooner. Then 1t is SO
reasonable, and don't call for the macadam.
izing the middle of the street, but from the
cutters to the middle of the street, and no.
thing more, But 10 it so reasonable that
property worth $500 and property worth
$40 per foot front should pay the same pro-
portion, or that business property covered
with stores. and the private residences with
highly improved grounds, and the poor
mans cabin, even il il should be in a ra-
vine, should pay the same per foot 'front.'
Such reasonable wrongs will never be
right, no matter where practiced.
/ did not say the City Council had squsn-
dered the money, nor did object to the
salaries of officers or room rent, neither will
| object if the said money should find its
way into some of the City Fathers peck
cts; bu, | supposed If the largely increased
revenue was not more than sufficient for
ordinary city expenses, as our Council in
forms US, then certainly they would not in
cur any extraordinary expenses.
The gentleman appears TO pay great del
erence to the LA petitioners. II am
rightly in formed, the petitioners decide that
a steam FIRE engine is the best and the
cheapest, and recommend that one be pro-
cured. Will the gentleman be willing to
spend $4,000 or $4,000 Tor that purpose,
then appoint an engineer with a salary, and
keep horses at all times ready to haul it to
fres where it would be impossible to sup
ply it with water three minutes! Perhaps
he would, having pledged himself to any
reasonable propositio n from any source.
Would the gentleman favor spending Sl5,-
600 or $4,000 to make a steamboat land
ing somewhere between Cannon's mill and
the Railroad bridge, the precise place to be
hereafter designated! Will he favor gra'
ding Brady street to Lambaeh' straight slope
grade and destroy his %neighbor's property
and bring the city into an interminable law
suit, Perhaps he will, as he is not govern
ed by any bitter party spirit, but always has
the welfare Of the city in view, so that any
reasonable proposition will be sure Of hi.
support. But the gentlem an has voted fol
ell loans and all special taxes. 30 far,
believe, he has been with q minority. Are
we to infer that the gentleman is wise and
liberal to a greater degree titan a majority
Of his fellow citizens, or that the majority
has always been embittered by party feel
ingt Let the gentleman answer.

A letter from the Commissioned Of the
General Land Office, says
There are no means in this office for es-
timatine the time when the lands just with
drawn for railroad grants will be restored
to sale. A large portion will be opened to
sale immediately on the receipt Of the maps
Of fnal location Of the roads at this Of
fee, and the balance as soon thereafter as
the adjustment can be made"
As the letter however cites the instances
in which lands were granted to Illinois,
Nissoprisnd Arkansas, Tor railroad purpo.
sss, and states that the periods which clap
ssd between the passage of those acts and
the r~e-opening Of the ~land-ofices in the
respective districts, varied from two TO three
years, it is presumable that the length of
time will be about the same, before the
lands on the line of the roads to which lands
have been granted by the present Congress
will be restored to market.

From NIcARAGUA.-A correspondent Of
the New Orleans Delta, writing from San
Juan on the 4th inst. says that Walker had
al that ii ne nothing to fear from invasion,
but ,hs, the cholers and yellow fever were
committing most fearful rsvages among the
Americans. Both diseases were prevailing
in their worst forms, aud all who had any
hope Of succeeding, were trying TO get back
10 the United States.
The same writer states that Col. Kinney
was nobody at San Juan. that he had no
plantation in the neighborhood Of G rey town
nor any where else, and it was a mys.

Republican Mass Meeting.

The chsirman, d. L. Shorey, Esq, after
having called the meeting to order, read the
report of the committee on organization,
which he accompanied with a lengthy and
able discussion of the question now before
the people.
J.J Beardsley, Esq, from Rock Island,
was then introduced to the meeting, and pro-
ceeded deliberately to review the undoubted
authority of Congress 10 exclude slavery
from the territories. He concluded his well
received effort by tdmonishing the German
citizens either TO lend their hearty support
to the Republican principles, or to return
to their old Faiherland, which would have
a better claim to the name of q free country
than this Union, if left under the control Of
an oligsrchy of $50, 900 Shareholders.
The report Of the committee on organi.
zation was then unanimously adopted, and
3 committee appointed TO nominate officers
for the organization.
The chairman next introduced the Rev.
H. P. Cutting, from Kansas, who gave the
history and present condition Of that unfor-
tunate territory in q brilliant and mastery
speech, combining rare eloquence with a
perfect flood of happy hits and pointed IL
Illustrations, which were duly appreciated by
the meeting.
Mr.. Cutting having finished his remarks,
the committee ON officers returned and re-
ported the following names, viz: For Pres
dent, John Collins; for Vice Presidents,
Tn. Olshausen and Jas. T. Lane; for Sec.
retaries, tn. Guelich and A. Sanders, who,
on motion, were duly elected.
The meeting then adjourned sine die.
