derstocd the law and their duty, and that they
should perform their part without fear, favor, or
affection His honor was very explicit az to the
performance of his duty In case any should neg

the oath he had taken, and no influence personal
or political, should prevent him from the strict
performance of his duty in all cases. The Mayor

PEACE AND ORDER.-A survey of the trial
docket at the guard-house would lead one to SUP
pose that the city was very much disturbed dur
ing Saturday night and the sabbath day. II was
not the case. Saturday night the city was as
quiet rs usual but the long list was the result
OF sleePless patrol Of the entire city by the
guards and their officers. The Sabbath was very
quiet. and 1T is pleasant to record that in the
suburbs Of the city there less Of intoxication
and riot than during several weeks past The
day being pleasant the churches throng bout tie
city Were well attended, the congregations being
"a large a. could be expected at this season,
when so many OF our citi. e rs have LETT the city
to enjoy themselves at the various summer
SORTS The arrival OF strangers was small, and
OF those who have arrived few remain longer
than a day, being generally travellers to other
localities.

The STATUE OF JEFFERSON "A correspondent
suggests in view of the fact that this statue is to
be removed frolG its present position at the north
front Of the Presidential Mansion in conse qnrnce
of its dngy and unsightlv appear ancs, that Il he
not removed out of sight altogether, but that it
be eisotro-pioted ruth gold, thereby restoring it
in some position where it would he an ornament.
Is not the suggestion worthy of consideration!
