CITY AFFAIRS.

A year ago we were suspicious that
the affairs of this city were not man
aged as judiciously as they might be, and
weadvocateda change. The people
wisely, no doubt-decided no change was
necessary, the old rulers were continued
in power, others Of the same style, only
"a little more so" put with them as CO.
laborers, and the highfaluten policy has
been carried out tremendously, and found
to work "to charm" Taxes this year
are "nothing, to speak of style is visible
in every brancl, of the city govcrnmcntand
the assessment roll prepared by the Board
for collection this winter is such a perfect
model in its way that it has been deemed
advisable to send copy of it TO the State
Capitol as sample for Boards Of Assessors
in all parts of the State to follow
Things are in a most prosperous state;
tax payers arc delighted, aad all goes
emery as a marriage bell"

PosITIoy OF THE MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE.
A correspondent Of the Detroit Free
Press over the signature of az" gives
"thc truth in a nutshell" in the follow
ing paragraph:
Notwithstanding, however, that some
of the members are modifying their views
somewhat relative to the repeal of the
personol liberty law and the "kidnap.
ping" law, and begin to entertain doubts
of the propriety Of such coercion as those
propose who talk of marching the whole
military force of the State to Washing
ton. ready to he ordered to any point of
the South, yet nothing can be expected
of this Legislature. If tho question Of
the preservation OF the Union depended
entirely upon their repeal Of either Of
these laws, as 1t does IN part, it woald
not be done. So far as these men are
able, they will do rs much toward the
dissolution Of the Union as the SECESSION
lists Of South Carolina. There are OK.
ccptions, hit the remark holds true with
the majority. They are stiifrcckcd, un-
compromising, unyiclding, aud vengeful.
An effort is to be made directly and
pointcdly to secure the repeal of these
two obnoxious laws, but it will be Of no
avail. Every man here knows that they
conflict with the Federal law, that they
were designed to be such, and would DO
pronounced such in the Supreme Court
Of the State; and yet, knowing all this,
they will not touch them. What worse
than this are the other fanatics in South
Carolina, Alabama, or Mississippi doing?
