How DO You LIKE IT, TAXPAYERS ?-The
resolution of the City Council to pay the fees
of on attorney to defend Mr.. Funck's claims
to the Mayoralty, we mean. Do you feel any
more able to pay this sum, honest, poor, hard
working laborers, than Mr.. Funck, who is
wealthy? Do you feel it your duty to defend
his personal claim-a claim in which you
have not the least personal interest? Sup
pose your neighbor, who is powerful man
and wealthy one, should become involved
in lawsuit with another neighbor, would
you consider it Just in him to force you to
pay part Of the expense, merely because he
was able TO Go so? 1t is exactly this relation
that you bear towards the contested election
case-a case Involving only the rights of two
persons as to which shall be Mayors case
wherein the city, in Its corporate capacity,
can have no more interest than it has in who
shall be President of Liberia. Mr.. Funck
claims to have been elected Mayor. Mr.. Visle
claims his election to have been illegal, and
that he is entitled to the position, which claim
he offers to substantiate. The issue must he
tried before the proper tribunal, Mr. Funck,
IN the mean time, acting as Mayor. Now
what possible interest can the city have in
the matter? There is no suspension Of the
office-no interregnum-the city corporation
is provided with head, and what matters
it to the corporation whether that head be
Mr.. Funcl or Mr.. Vicle? and yet you are re
quired by this modest resolution passed
unanimously pay the expenses of the
suit. While about it, why did they not also
employ an attorney for Mr.. Viele2 He has
as much right to the services Of an attorney
at the peoples expense as has Mr.. Funck.
Neither have the least shadow of right
Remember this, tax payers, when you are
Obliged to pay your taxes. Remember that
your hard earned money is required TO pay
the expense of a lawsuit of a wealthy n.an
abundantly able-much more so than you
are-to pay his own expenses. What excuse
can be given for this robbery-for it amounts
to thls-by the peoples servants; this. be-
trayal Of the trust reposed in them? None
at ALL There is none; nor can there be.
The mo,ioes actuating the passage of tn
resolution can be summed up in very few
words. 1t is well known that Mr.. Fnnck il
penurious to degree amounting almost t
misery boarding. The City Council, awar
of this trait in his character, fearful that b
would give up the contest rather than bea
the expense of suit, bore it for him soone
than be deprived of his oaluable services, au'
have an Abolitonist at the head of affairs
1t is in this way, and this only, that the mil
can be accounted for in this rotten cocoanu'
Remember, this, taxpayers.

in consequence of our inability TO supply the
demand we're unable 10 obtain the Butkeye,
and were forced 10 purchase an inferior
machine. The continued scarcity of laborers
and the new calls from the government for
troops, will take many more laborers from

How sl'Clellan took Manassas.

NOW oA'ClcIl00 .tOOk M0008o0Ss
Br OLD NAroLxss, Lfoss. Iowa. MsHcn, 1869.
Heard yc how the bold Mcclellan,
He, the wether with the bell on
He, the head of all the asses
Heard ye how he took Manassas?
When the Anaconda plucky
Flopped its tail in old Kentucky;
When up stream the gunboats padded,
And the thieving Floyd sksaaddled,
Then, the chief who all surpasses
Hears the wOrd-"Go, take Manassas"
Forty brigades wal. around him,
Forty blatant trumpets sound him
As tho pink of all the heroes
Since tho time of fddling Neros:
SHOWS the time," cry out the masses,
"Show your pluck, and take Manassas +
Contrabands came focking to him:
'Lo, flies the enemy-pursue himT
"No," says George, "don't start trigger
On the word Of aEy Niger;
Let no more such rascals pass us,
~ know al about Manassas"
When at last rrowling Yankee
NJ doubt long, and lean, and lanky-
Looking out for new devices,
Spisd the wooden guns as prizes,
Says he, 81 sweow, ere daylight passes
I'll take peep at famed Manassas"
Then up to the trenches boldly
Marched ho-they received him eoldly;
nary Reb was there 10 stop him,
Nary Minnie ball to drop him,
Gathering courage, in he passes:
HJerusalem! I've got Manassas"
Bold Mcclellan hears the story:
"OHWard men, to fields of glory;
Let us show the Rebel foemen,
When we're READY, we're not slow men
Wait no more for springing grasses
Onward onward to Manassas !"
Baggage trains were left behind him
Id his eagerBess to find them;
Upwards the balloons aseeHded
70 see which way the Rebels tended;
Thirty miles away his glasses
Swept tn horizon round Manassas.
Out of sight, the foe, retrcating,
Answered back no hostile greeting;
Mono could tell, as off he padded,
Eitherward he had skedaddled.
Then the chief Of all the asses
Cried, "Hurrah. I've got Manassas"
Future days will tell with wonder
How the mighty Apaccnda
Lay supine along the border,
With the mighty Mao to lord her
Tell, on shaft and storicd brasses,
How HE '.took" the famed Manassas!
