By referring to the Session Laws Of 1884,
page 8, he will find that the aforesaid 9th
section OF the original charter was super
seeded. The frst section reads - follows !:

That was not the intention ct the time
the amended charter was drawn up. The
charter was drafted IN this city in the early
mart Of January, 1857 and sent to the Legis-
'lature At Iowa City, with the expectation
that It would be acted upon, and become
law, before tho election for CITY officers took
place, q then provided for by law. Sec. 3,
Of the Amended Charter, originally, va. in
these w0rds-''Iwo alderman snail De elect
ed in each ward by the legal voters thereof,
at the. first election after the passage of this
act" The "6rst election referred to here,
was the one to be held on the first Monday
Of February. The expectation that this
amended charter would become law in
time for the ssfrst election" as "provided
by law" was not realized, and the words
(which sold election shall be held on the
first Monday of March next, and annually
thereafter''-were added by the Democratic
members from this district, hence it is no
"Republiean amendment and We cannot
readily "dissect'' it. Az there has been
ono election Of all city officers, under that
act, we argue that there is no improperly in
again acting in the same manner. If there
are doabts - to the legality of the proceed
I'M, " can ask the Legislature to legalize
the st acts of officers elected under that
provision, and have the charter 80 amended
as to preclude all possibility Of further
doubtful proceedings under the same.

During the past three or four days, W
have been treated to series of magnificent
"dissolvinp views',-pleasant to behold, and
comfortable withal but not in conformity to
. the requirements of ssleaky boots" In other
words, the weather has been remarkably
warm and pleasant for this season of the
year-the snow has nearly disappeared, and
our street. are again in a muddy condition.
