is it that our public lamps were not
lighted last night. We have noticed this
negligence several times, especially in
bad weather, and we trust that it will be
better attended to, in future. Last eve

PAY DAY-Yester(lay ended the second
half month, which has passed since the
mechanics and other operatives in the
Gosport Navy Yard, have received their
pay. Whatever may be the true reason
of this, we know not, unless it be the
large amounts which the government has
been called on to expend in the past few
weeks, or there may be a screw loose in
the machinery, Or perhaps this is the tail
end of the panic passing away. What
ever is the cause, the effect is very SEN
sibly feltin our community among all
classes, more so as winter now has spread
its cold grey mantle, and warned us
that he too must have his season.
We understand that the Purser has
received sufficient amount of money to
pay off, but it is principally in Treasury
notes of one hundred dollars, for which
he is charged u per cent for specie; and
not liking to pay the amount out of his
own pocket, he has sent to Washington
for instructions, and laid the case before
the proper authorities. If the mechan-
les and laborers have to wait until their
several amounts reach the sum of one
hundred dollars, VIC shall indeed hear the
cry of "hard times"
We understand that the officers of the
Navy Yard, were paid off on yesterday.

charter election as an Independent party; and ia
the next, they are prepared to supply the sinews
q, :, ar for any contingency TO which this deter
nina; On may lead. Such are the conclusions Of
tba ROM, agreed to by the Committee OF Ar
,anoemeo,. appointed by the taxpayers, and
which was nros.> ted at the meeting on Monday
night Time nressA. 5, the subcommittee were
only able to present a. rortion Of their report on
that evening, and this eDa,'odied the two recon-
mendations specified. Both were enthusiast
tically adopted, and it WIS agreed to raise a
fund of 100000 to fee lawyers to prosecute
every case of delinquency that may occur for
the next ten years in the city expenditure. 1t
was resolved, in addition, that no mans name
should be placed on the taxpayers ticket which
should be taken from amongst active politicians,
or men whose claims should be pressed upon
them. The committee next went to work and
summed up the amount Of capital which they
had authority to represent in this movement.
AT the lowest estimate they calculated it at
$75,O00,OOO; but if VIC take the large body of
taxpayers who sympathize with them into ac-
count, this sum forms but small proportion of
the aggregate.
Now that the taxpayers party is fairly inaugu-
rated, it only remains for us to impress upon
them the Importance of the resolution agreed to
by the committee, not merely to disregard the
claims of politicians but to consider the pressing
of all such claims as sufficient ground of dis
qualification in candidates. The taxpayers have
nothing whatever to do with political questions
or interests for however much Kansas may bleed,
that OF other political issues will not help to
arrest the hemorrhage in their own pockets.
They must steer clear Of the Tammany Hall men
and the ward politicians, for the one will compro-
mise them in movements having no affinity with
their objects, whilst the others will join them
only to squander for their own benefit the funds
which are to be raised to protect the revenues of
the city against population and jobbing If they
pursue this course the taxpayers party will ex-
ercise an important influence over if they do not
entirely sway the charter elections result
which we contend is easily within their reach.
