rienee and observations IN Troy,
New York showed what would have
been the results had che Straight-Lin
Railroad been built We are certain
he mentioned the Straight-Line road,
and showed that it was not his fault
that it was not built. He also favored
| the Henderson & Nashville Railroad,
and thought they Should elect Coun-
cilmen who would subscribe il the
name of the city $700, 900 to help. 1t
would only cost the city $40, 600 a year
to pay the interest on that sum, and
that would be but trife, as itwould
bring return of SO for one He was
not altogether pleased with the pres
ent organ cation of the City Council.
Thought there were some members
on the Board who should be hustled
out as quick as they would hustle a
cat out of meal tub, the aforesaid
which was, we presume, classical
. aloosion," the *orthor" of which
has not been definitely ascer-
tanned. He had pickle for
John Miller, and as he was pres
ent he proposed to have him partake
of it at once. He held him RESPONSE
bic for the granting of the charter for
the street railroads, which was never
to be built and would prevent others,
from building. Miller bore the ex-
coriation with heroic fortitude. 80
Me-. Carpenter also Lit down " on
the merchants of First Street, which
he denominated Wall Street." and
said they were not proverbial for
their public spirit and disposition to
push forward public improvements.
He thought they preferred to hold
bonds that were not taxable, and to
discount notes at II per cent. for 60
days; showed how the people of
Chicago had,waded through mud to
build their railroads, and wound up
at the end of three quarters of
an hour, by admonishing them
to. elect good men to Office
men who were in favor of improving
Evansville, buildiBg railroads, &C.,
&c. After the close of his speech,
there was much miscellaneous talk in
German, and as the only Dutch we
understand is Lager Beer" we had
to trust to Menifee, who drank it all
in-the' talk, we mean-for a trans
lat;on, which has, not yet been fur
nished. It was finally concluded, in
English, to have two meetings
on Saturday night-one for the
Sixth. Ward at John He'd
derich's, and one for the Fifth
at the grocery Of John H. Bremen &
Co., corner of First and Vine Streets.
Mr.. Sprouler editor of the Courier,
asked permission to say word, and
he was permitted. He said the call
for the Democratic meeting for
Thursday had not been Withdrawn.
It had been left out of the Courier
yesterday morning accidentally. 1t

ocrats, who believed they knew how
to manage their own business without
any dietation from one or two men
who desired to- dictate for them. Mr.
Fandrich said that was entirely salts
factory, and then the meeting ad-
journed.

RECORDERS CoURT.-There was a
fair business done in the Recorders
Court yesterday, and some addition
was made to the City Treasury, as well
as to the income of the officers of the
law. ~ ''.i'a ply
Isaac Loomis, who halls from
Massachusetts, and disciple of st.
Crispin, was found to have been
drunk and disorderly, notwithstand-
ing he came from the land of steady
habits. His sport cost him 81 95, in
Guiding nights lodging at Castle
Darling. He gave security for the
amount and let it soak.
A hummer, who hailed from old
Kaintuck, and who, after having i'm
bibed an unusual quantity of boone
rang whisky, felt bound to kill mig
ger, made demonstration on negro
shanty, but was repulsed. He was in
back alley, where he was found set
ting on snow bank with female wo-
man of the Irish persuasion, who was
also drunk. The two lodged all night
with the inmates of Castle Darling,
and yesterday the man paid 81 95 for
his fine, and the woman, who had no
money, was turned loose with an aa-
monition to do better.
A man named Henry Butts was
drunk and disorderly at the corner of
Fourth and Locust Streets, flourish

was the spiciest affair of all. The
two wards were represented by about
thirty five persons in all, including a
few old stageTs who had been manipu-
lating matters in other wards. The
meeting was not organized until after
8o'clock, and it was doubtful for a
time where it would be held. The
store room was finally selected, and
the meeting was called to order, some
taking seats on the counter, some on
boxes, and some on chairs. Herman
Fendrich was called to the chair. A
motion was made that Willard Car
penter be requested to make few re-
marks in English, and that, the pro-
ceedings be held in German. Mr..
Carpenter set out by depricating the
habit of mixing politics with City
elections. Thought it was no advan-
tage except to few individuals. for
whose benefit the good of the masses
was sacrificed. He was in favor of
progress and Improvement. Did not
think it was the. policy to bowIder
streets or spend money on the City,

stomach with Sehenck's Mandrake Pills, the
Tonic soon restores the appetite, and food that
could not be eaten before using it will be easily
digested.
