D1R7r SraEErs-S7REEr TAXES Complaints
are made about the condition Of our Streets
The Commissioners are anxious to get them in
order, hut in order to have lahor performed,
money is required to pay for it. We under
stand that several hundred dollars yet remain
unpaid for labor performed last year. The ap-
preparation made for this year is all the street
tax, and until that it is collected there is no
money to pay for cleaning. We1carn that only
oas citi.tn has as yet paid his tax, so tue Com
missioners should not be blamed for not doing
the work if the citizens don't pay their street
taxcs to do 1t with. Call at The treasu1er's Of

CAN3E. T0ELE.

The receat meeting Of tie Board Of Trustees
of the Illinois and Michigan Cann1 has NOT
beau sisnalized, as we hoped it wou1d be, BY
a reduction Of tolls on all kinds Of lumber.
Except in 2 reduction Of 20 per cent on DRESS
ed lumber, the rates remain as before. The
tariff on Illinois coal was cut down from 19
cents mills to III cents, but no other conees-
sious ware 11ade. The bondholders' trustees
are without doubt working in good faith for
those whose interests they are expected to
represent; but it is none tho less certain that
the business men Of Chicago will be greatly
disappointed By the failure to secure what
seemed to them q pecessity, not for themselves
alone, but for tho Canal s.s well. We do not
say that the S1nte Trustee has uniformly
favored low rates on all the great staples for
the carrying Of which tho Canal is competi-
to. Of the railroads now undertaking.

THE SECESSION At CHARLESTON.
The course Of the seceders At Charleston is
vst a subject Of much speculation. The better
vii! attempt no nomination, but that most ef
the delegates, excepting, perhnpB, South Caro-.
liua. viii Aprcar ut Baltimore, either to CO.
operate With the action there, OF to bolt Is be.
fore in q certain contingency.
The douglas managers dislike end denounce
this programme, but will have no right OF
power 10 exclude tho delegates originally
elected by the same authority rs themselves,
aud holding similar credentials. Besides. it is
quite probaLle, il the issue be directly made,
their constituents will return the same men. IL
anv cycut it seems clear that Mr. Douglas is
preclnded from nomination. even it the seced-
ing States should be represented by new dele.
gHtcs, because, while they may condemn the
act Of secession, tLcy will not take US candi-
date ,uan who was tho cnuse Of the schism.
The Democracy will ultimately hurmonizc on q
candidate, though the cotton States will adhere
10 their platform, at Charleston.
The Republican party never needed more
wisdom and moderation than now, for any error
at Chicago will be seized upon to make new
rally.
uEssRs. DAVIS AND BROWN.
In the Sonata, JEFF. Davis made m extreme
Southern Slave Code speech to q crowded audi
tory. His rira}, Mr. Brown, who is suspected
Of secretly farorins Mr: Douglas before any
Southeruer except himself, took exceptions 10
some points. ST. Dnvis indorsez The secession
of his friends from the Charleston Convention.
It is not generally known that be owes his first
seat in the Senate to Nr. Browns appointment,
when the latter Was Governor Of Mississippi
Mi. Davis ignores this fuct in all his biogra-
phies. Of course, Mr. Brown naturally thinks
such conduct little ungraseful. 10th are
