russsav. Inc amended charter OF tho city h TO b.
submitted to the qualified voters o. the city for
ratincation7
The amendments 10 the charter are nj once raai'
cal and conservative. Radical In this that the
ohan0es proposed TO be made are OF thorough
oh recter going to the root Of many OF the evils OF
our eity government; and conservative, because
,ba amendments, II adopted, will secure 70 us :
,nors independent and efficient administrator Oh
citv affairs than we have enjoyed Tor long time.
rha t,onneil are 10 be elected annually. the
MAYOR and Aldermen are TO be elected Tor four
years. as the justices In the counties are now

The Court Of Hastings, held by the Mayor Al
dermen, and Recorder, il to have the appointment
of the Clerk, Sergeant, and Commonwealth Auor-
new of said court, and also Of the high Constable
Of the city. The Council is TO have the appoint
ment Of all other city officers not elected by the
people.
The expense, annoy ance, and trouble OF annual
elections by the people Of gaugers, superintend-
snts and grain measurers is to be done away with.
The magistrates are to be elected for four years,
and thus raised above the atmosphere Of the annual
charter elections in which their claims and fitness
have been involved and compromised with those
Of the numberless petty officers who annually
besiege the citizens Of Richmond.
BY consolidating power in the Court or Council
we will invite to seats in these bodies the best
men among us; we will create amore direct and
immediate responsibility on the part Of the various
Office holders to the appointing power, itself q

The New City Charter.

The people of Richmond are called upon 10
vote on tomorrow upon the amended charter
passed by the Legislature. 1t is offered to
them for acceptance or rejection, as they may
deem proper.
The voters cannot do better than to accept
this new charter. 1t will relieve them OF
great deal Of annoyance and save the city con-
siderable expense In elections. 1t dispenses
with the vast number Of elections for minor
Offices, which were such o source Of yexation to
the voter and of corruption at elections, and
returns them to the Council and the Hastings
Court, by whom they were appointed in former
years.
The Mayor and Council will, under this new
charter, be elected annually, and the Aldermen
for four years, as in the counties. The Judge
of the Hastings Court will be elected, rs here
tofore, by the people.
BY extending the term Of the office Of Alder
man to four years, that office will be elevated
in dignity, and those who hold IL win % I'M
proved in capacity for its duties. They whi
have time to acquire some knowledge OF the
end and object Of their election before they
are turned out of Office; and they Will De
made somewhat independent in their position,
and saved from the necessity Of entering the
arena OF party electioneering, with all its
degrading influences, once year.
These amendments are such as will confer
great benefits upon the city. The dignity and
power Of the officers will be SO much i'm
proved that the more intelligent and re-
sponsible men will be invited TO I'LL them. We
shall then avoid the annual excitement and
slectioneering for the smaller offices. We
shall be saved from the awful apprehensions
excited annually by the advent Of five hundred
able.bodied men, anxious - serve their
country, each threatening that his single de-
feat would bring ruin upon the land! In the
annual melee, 1t u known 70 everybody that
officers were elected to important positions
who were notoriously unfit for the trusts sub
mitted TO them.
The efficiency and responsibility of the
administration Of public affairs will be pro-
NOTED, and q faithful accountability in all
fiduciary Offices more completely insured.
We need hardly add that order and security,
rs matter Of course, will be all the better
enforced.
We hope the citizens will approve the
charter by large majority.
