The Board of Aldermen.

Two months have passed away since our
citizens in accordance with the provisions OF
the City Charter elected the City Councils,
and expected they would INN ediately organize
and proceed TO enact those laws which are so
much needed TO further the interests OF the
city and Of good government but up to this
hour there 10 no organization OF the Board OF
Aldermen.
by this failure to organize and to proceed
to and effect the necessary legislation, all the
business interests OF the city arc paralyzcd,
and the mischief and loss to every interest in
consequence Is almost inoalculablc. There Is
no excuse for men to behave In this manner,
aRd those seven Democrats In the Board will
and must be held to a strict aceo untsbility for
their conduct.
The reason assigned for their eourse, that
Mr., Richards was not properly chosen presI.
dent OF the Board, has lost Its force, even
among their friends, and they may continue to
urge 1t AS an excuse for their course, but II
will not shield them from the eensure OF the
community.
The Mayor has made all necessary arrange.
ments, and IL fully prepared TO carry forward
those improvements which the public exigen.
cies and welfare OF the city demand, but he
and the lower Board are banked, and all their
efforts made Of no avail, by the conduct OF a
few men,
How loug shall this stAte Of things continue,
We tell them plainly that they arc not only
sacrificing the great interests Of the city, but
they arc injuTing themselves The property
holders Of the city, aud all good citizens gen.
orally, of all paTtiePr ore tired of this, and
demand OF these men that they proceed to the
legitimate work they were elected to perform,
or resign their places.

On the Defensive.

Many Democratic journals and orators are
struggling hard to take the aggressive. They
insist upon 1t that they will not stand upon
the dcfensivci still, there they are, and they
cannot bulge an inch.
Their platform, their policy, Blair's letter,
Seymour's war record, all are so vulnerable,
and need explaining 80 much and so often that
really there IL no time or opportunity for OF.
fensivo war.
A writer in the New York Erpres, gives the
following capital advice, II 1t could be fol.
lowed. He says;
81 am quite sure the Democrats cannot ViR

The rebels, when the war was going on, used
| to swear that they would abandon the defen
siye and assume the aggressive. Lee woult
"water his horses first in the Delaware, ther
| In the Hudson and afterwards In the Kenne
bec;" and he several times asssycHlt, but was
| obliged to retire and speedily take the de

The growth Of life insurance In this country,
surprisingly rapid as It Is, Ia not false nor an
unnatural growth. 1t rests upon a solid foun.
| dation of truth and reason. II results from a
conviction, which is every day gaining strength,
Of the incalculable benefits Of the system. No
other plan has been devised by which duty and
affection can so adequately, so securely, and
SO Instantly provide against the uncertainty
and the irreparsble loss OF q productive human
life. It only needs that the merits Of benilcent
working OF the system should be more fully
understood and appreciated, In order that life,
the most valuable of the gifts OF the Creator
to man and his dependents, should be secured
against the hazards Of untimely death, as uni
versally as the prudent insure their material
possessions against the peril OF destruction by
the elements. The mature and enlightened
conviction OF the public will surely require
that any man with whose life Providence and
the order OF nature have wrapped up the lives
and well-being of others, should be deemed
guilty Of incXcusable selhshneSs and criminal
improvldencc IL he falls 20 invoke for their pro.
lection the security which this System offers.
Tho prevalence of life insurance may justly
be regarded as the measure OF advancing re-
