MAYORS COURT NoRFoLK.--Mayor Tabb,
with the regularity of clock work, resumes
his off cial duties in this court every morning
in the week, except Sunday. Yesterday was
but a repe ition of every other day, ADD was
devoted to the examination of charges for
violated ordinances. e sN
Mr.J G. Exner was fined FIVE. dollars, for
violating the ordinance prohibiting garbage
or slops being thrown in the streets, and Mrs.
Davidson and Mr. Checker were contributors
TO the city exctequor to the same amount
for the same offense.
Day after day our citizens are fined Tor
violating the above named ordinance; and
",he cry is still they come" It is q matter OF
establishment, that the people do not learn
from experience, and take the necessary pres
caution to prevent their servants getting them
in trouble. Nine cases out of ten, the RESPONSE"
BILE party is not cognizant Of the matter, but is
brought into trouble by their employees. Our
citizens as general thing, are as law abiding
as any people in the country; and would not
violate the laws or neglect its requirements
sooner than any other people; but they are
too much given to trust to servants, and thus
get into trouble with The authorities.
At this season of the year. when Sirius pers
forms his additions with the sun, and seeks
his coach by the light Of the fading solar rays,
the street Inspector, very rightly, feels it his
duty to see that the city is kept clear Of all
debris that is likely to engender disease; to do
so he, rises before either Sol or Sirius and con-
sinnes his yigils until long after those celesti'
al worthless are asleep. To other words Mr..
Lee rises before day that Che citizens may
slumber in security from pestilesce; and BY
so doing, and keeping hisargls eyes wide ope
be is enabled to see who observes the law and
who does not. p
The numerous cases Of this kind, lately re
ported, not only show that the Inspector il
doing his duty, but proves thai the people are
not as fully convinced of the Importance Q
clean streets during the dog-days, as the,
should be; or if they are so convinced, they
are eriminaly neglectful ola duty they oV'
themselves and the community. This, of al
seasons Of the year, is the season when all GU
people should endeavor to keep the streets
) danes and lots as clear of decomposing an
obnoxious matter as possible. Let b
no mofe violations of this ordinances but lie
the people determine to assist Mr.. Lee in hi
efforts to ward off disease Sai9i q
WATEs.-If the Councils are possessed 0
the small est possible amount OF philanthro
ply, they will take action on the pump AM
well question this afternoon. The peopl
are suffering for water and it is the first dut..
of the Councils TO give IT to them. If tn
Councils regard the safety AID protection Q
ahe property Of this city, as one of the obj ct
OF municipal legislation, they will give tn
6rsmen supply of pump water If the
belong to any association, or the ameiora
q ton Of the condition of dumb beasts, the.
will giye the few horses, and numerous COW
now in this city, a supply of water !! IS
On the other hand, if they Disregard tn
wants ofthe majority, they will let the sub
ject alone, and by thus negleotins to take sc
on, force the people into the belief that
they are Indifferent to the most pressing
wants of the city. Our Coutcils are compo
sed of gentlemen of experience and observa
ton, and must see the great necessity of 81
increase in the supply of water 1t wer,
unnecessary 10 tell them that the population
etof this CITY is nearly double what it was fou
years ago. 1t is unnecessary to remin,
them, that the supply Of water, at that time
was in; efficient, and is doubly so now An,
equally unnecessary is it, to remind them 0
the many advantages to arise from an in
crease in the supply Of water. Gentlemen o
the Council, We, and the people contidentl.
await your action.
