worthy of your attention, are OF minor
importance compared with the necessity
of action to guard against the ravages
of that dreadful disease, Cholera, which
is even now on our coasts. All expert
ence in epidemics teaches the proprlety
of prompt and efficient steps TO secure
cleanliness, not only on the pubhc
streets, alleys and wharyes, but on pri'
waite property. There must be no hesl,
tation to ordain whatever in your Judg-
ment may best attain that end,
For some years l have noticed
the working of our Sanitary Com,
mittee or Board of Health; and
while it may be continued and used for
ordinary purposes, think another = anu
different Board, and an additional ofncer
should, for this year at least, be created.
I propose that the resident physicians OF
this city, OF a number of them, be con-
stituted an advisory Board, with certain
powers, fixed by ordinance, to be here.
after reported, with which Board shall
be associated an officer whose duty 1t
shall be thoroughly and frequently to
examine all places of whatsoever, KIND
where anything deleterious to health
might exist, whether they be on public
or private property; and whose power
shall be such as to compel obedience to
any orders of sanitary nature which
he, under advice of the Board
of Physicians, may find necessary
to issue. 1t is not expected that
these services viii be performed without
compensation; on the contrary the re-
muneration should be ample, and ne
money could be so we'll expended if the
result should be any mitigation of the
suffering and distress consequent on
the visitation Of the disease. / also
recommend that sufficient quantity OF
lime, copperas and other disintectants be
purchased by the city to be sold at cost
so chat persons ordered to use these ar
ticles can have no excuse of inability to
procure them. The executive officer ap
pointed, if the above suggestions are
adopted, should be a man who will dis
charge the duties entrusted to him with
out fear or favor presume it is I'M
necessary to further urge upon you the
adoption of this or some other effective
plan, at once, and without delay.

Mayor svrceuey's Message.

The message Of Mayor SWEENEY Il
the city council is plain, practical and
business-like document. 1t is well writ
ten, and contains nothing not applicable
to municipal affairs, and all tue recon-
mendations it contains are timely and
judicious In short there is an air of
strong, common sense and energy per
vading the whole message which must
commend it TO the favorable coDsdera-
ton of the Council aud the city AT large,
as well as reflect no small degree of credit
upon the Mayor himself,
Among those Recommendation which
We particularly endorse is that relating
to the codifcation Of the city ordinances,
and that in reference 10 sanitary at

ignorance of the ordinances enacted By
the council during the past eleven
years lie very seriously felt There are
ordinances Of material importance 20

is an immense mass "t Legislation which

The plan suggested by the Mayor for
improving the sanitary condition of the
city seems TO lis as good Us any that can
be proposed TO convince any person
that some such measure is needed 1t will
only be necessary for him to keep his
eyes and uUstrils open while walking

Each of the various recommendations

refer our readers to the message itself

The spirit of Radieulism,


Our local columns this morning con-
tain record offacts which should bring
ablush Of shame to the cheek of every
man whe cares for the honor and digni-
ty of the State.
A private citizen of the State, former
" holding the rank Of Lieutenant Col
ouel in-the Confederate army, comes to
this city for the purpose of communica-
ting, TO tho Legislature information
which, he has concerning the character
and conduct OF a high judicial officer
He prepares statement OF grave charg'
es against the officer in question. arrays
with his charges complete hstof speci'
fcations setting forth the time, place
and manner of the Judges guilt, puts
them ia the hands of member OF the
House Of Delegates, and offers to furnish
evidence to establish the truth OF MS
statement. The charges and speclhca'
tions are read before the House of Dele
gates and an angry debate ensues In
suit and opprobrium are heaped upon
the man who has attempted to invest,
gate the character of the Judge. The
charges and specifications are contempt
uously thrown aside and tine House ad
journs While yet i'll the hall, several
members of the House of Delegates as
sault and beat and bruise and thrust
out of the building the citizen who de
sired to expose the conduct oftLe Judge
To say thstit was shameful outrage
and disgraceful to the dignity of the
State, is not condemnation strong
enough by half. 1t mattered not wha,
was the character of the person present
ing the charges, their gravity and the
offered evidence tor their support de-
manded that they be grayely considered
and there can be no excuse for or pallia
ton of the outrage committed by the
assault of four or five persons upon a
single unarmed man. The fact that the
assault was committed in the Hall of
the House OF Delegates, aud by members
of that House, ouly invests the trans
action with deeper infamy, and tends to
reflect discredit and dishonor upon the
whole State.

WHEELING Gas COMPANY

HE time is approaching when, by the
charter ofthe Gas company, the city can
acquire the ownership OF the works. 1t
is The belief of very many citizens that
the stockholders of that company, having
a good investment, will strongly oppose
any effort on the part of the city to take
possession 1t it also we'll founded
opinion that no stock ever held in this
city has paid so well, and that having a
monopoly By their charter, the company
has charged, and does now charge an
excessive price for their product, and
that under the control of the city it
could he furnished at greatly reduced
rate 1t would be we'll that this council
should pay some attention to the matter,
and that the Finance or some committee
be instructed to inquire and report upon
the expedieucy of creating a sinking
fund for the purpose of making a pur-
chase OF the property, fixtures and stock
Of the Weeeling Gas company at the
time first fixed by their charter.

bred, by Alamode; Aiamode by imported

show his abundance Of Messenger blood. con-
sidered by all to be the best ever disseminated.
Kossuth was by New York Black Hawk,
out Of the celebrated trotting mare, Lady Of
the Lake. her dam was out Of Messenger
mare. New York Black Hawk was by An

BILE jackson, Henry Clay, Young Andrew

Andrew jackson was by Why mot, and he by
old imported Messenger; the grand dam OF
Andrew Jackson was also by imported Mes

New York Black Hawks dam was the dis
tinguished trotting mare, Sally Miller, who
| trotted her mile in I'm. 30 Sec, and she was
not excelled by any horse of her day. Sally
Miller was by Tippo Saib, he by imported

ZIFIL RIGHTS PnL," AoAu.--0n Monday
last, an African citizen of American descent,
alias a freedman, alias a negro man, living
with Mr.. JoHs I. DEsELbUM, was brought be-
fore Squire MONDAY, on the complaint of a
woman Of the same race and qualifications,
who charged him with doing her a great
wrong, by breaking one Of the ten command
ments, and wished the Squire to hold him to
bail for the expense arising from his act, or,
in plain words, to make him give security for
the support of her child. The Squire had the
man brought before him on warrant, when
GEo. PETER, Esq, on the part Of the man,
showed from the code that this law Of bastar-
dy was not at all applicable TO negroes; but
the Squire soon pulled out a hand-bill and
read from it the 'sziil RIGHTS Pill" which
proves that there is no difference between
whites and blacks. The negro man, Of course,
did not like this view of the law and, in fact,
it is er post Jacto, being passed after the
fault was committed. II the man is held to
bail, the case will be certified to the Circuit
Court Of the county for its decision.
