Friend Democrat considerable fun
has been poked at the new Council on ac-
countof the appointment Of a lady, whose
name appeared in the Directory as the
head Of a Arm instead Of her husbands. s.
Her name has been Withdrawn, however,
and his put in the place Of it. A queer
story is told of another Of them, Notary
Public Of this city, who has been chosen |
believe to preside over the branch to which
he belongs. He has been notary for
twelve or fifteen years, and during the war
had the largest share Of that business, was
United States Marshall at one time, and
has been all along prominent in the Union,
and lately in the Radical party. When be
applied to be registered, he stated that be
was Of foreign birth and was asked for his,
naturalization papers, which he could not
produce, but claimed that the fact Of his
father having been naturalized, made him q
citizen. The Registers, decided differently,
and refused to register him, as he was q
foreigner. Yet he still fills the office Of
Notary and has now been appointed to q
place in the Common Council. 1t is prob
able that all Of our civil machinery will be
g readjusted" by the ousting Of all elected
officers and the appointment Of those who
will not retard the reconstruction or radi-
obligation Of the State. Joseph Herman
DEE, the Treasurer, has been removed, and
stoddard Howell appointed to that Office.
Before the war Mr.. Howell was member
of the old firm Of McCutcheon, Howell 4
Co., Hardware Dealers, and held the Office
of Controller under Banks.
A very severe epidemic fthe shakers"
has broken out amongst the book keepers,
clerks and gentlemanly understrappers "
connected with the City Hall, which will
probably prove fatal 10 most Of the cases.
Polly Ticks is an uncertain jade 10 these
days "around abeaut here" and wont do
TO do tie to for living. A mass meeting
was held on, Tuesday evening, in lafayette
Square to approve the vigorous action Of
General Sheridan as commander OF this
district. There was alarge crowd ofcol-
ored citizens, with sprinkling ofthe plain
folks, and everything was jolly. Speaking
Of the plain citizens who participate in
these gal-o.rious scenes, puts me.in mind
