We have very good market buildings, and
the system on which they are conducted is far
removed from great censure, but stll! there
are points in which large improvements can
be made.
I would suggest to che Commissioners
change in the internal nrrangement OF the
Lower Notwithstanding that would do away
with that gauntlet Of butchers through which
all visiting it in the morning arc obliged to run
through. Stalls would obvlate this. Then the
vegetable pens should be changed to stalls.
And system of cleanliness should be adopted
that would secure better and moe inviting
showing Of meats and vegetables.
room, would do away with all the confusion
| and disorder observable every morning and
Saturday nights.
I Iremark, passingly, that am in favor of the
| t'free market system" Let any one sell meats
or vegetables, the same as other merchandise,
at any fixed location they may select.
POLICE.
This department of the city government
requires an entire change in its organization
| to render it as effective, efficient and econom-
cal, as it should be. The expense of this force
was was last wear 100000. That this was enor-
nous and unnecessary, will cite but two
illustrations although every city North OF this
preseats one. Louisville, KY, with 23o, ,OU0
inhabitants, and 24O miles OF streets, paid last
year but $50, 900 for it's police force. New BED
| ford, Mass, about the same size with this city,
| similarly located, being seaport, paid less
and than S25, 900. Our present system was adopt
ed under the "old regime" which having,
with it's necessities, passed away, II is my ad-
vice, that on grounds OF economy, II Tor no
other, we should adapt to ourselves On organ
zation more in keeping with QUIZ means and
the times.
STREETS AND SIDEWALKS.
During the past five months large amount
OF repairs have been, 1T a comparatively small
expense, put upon the streets, and now both
they and the sidewalks of the city are in
quite good and passable condition. The I'M
provements in this respect is very apparent
and marked.
wish to speak at this time of the Temporal
| ry manner IN which all repairs and works on
the streets have been for L know not how
long back conducted.
It would be ultimately less expensive for
this city to build brick trunks or drains, in
place Of wooden ones, to place brick or stone
| curbing to its sidewalks instead Of wooden
ones; the Immediate expense would be greater,
but "once done always done, is the cheapest
policy.
| STREET RAILROADS.
While recognizing all the many advantages
| to the public oaderved from this comfortable
and pleasant means of transportation, can
not forbear expressing regret that so few
! restrictions and requirements were imposed
| upon this company previous to the granting
Of it's charter and the laying down Of Its rails

TIE GOEHAM AND WALLACE Discussion
IN MARYsvILLE.-The Marysville Appeal Of
the Sd inst. says The Copperheads in at
tendance at the discussion on Thursday even
ing appeared to be well organized for cheer
ing. They are good yolperS any way. Ten
tnHpCrheadS will make more noise at a
political gathering than fifty Union men. The
Republicans, on this occasion, were sensi-
bic enough to understand that they were
bound by the armistica between Wallace
and Gorham, and were determined to keep
good order. They probably thought that
loud cheering would lead to other dcnonstra-
tons, aud perhaps 70 4 general disturbance.
But the Cuppcrheads would yell. At first,
rot understanding what was the Inatrer, we
concluded the CopperheadS had nearly half
81 the meeting. We found ourself II i,tal.en
when Gorham made his reply. The Eepub-
licans had heard the Cops cheer Wallace,
and whea Gorham rose the second time his
friends found their tongues. We should
Iadge that the relative proportion of the meet
in;, When Wallace was speaking, was not far
from five Republicans to four Democrats.
At the close the Republicans had five to
one on the ground. 1t was large meeting
the largest during the last five years-and
passed off very orderly. Its effects upon
either party, for good or evil, are question |
able. Men Of both parties assembled to
stand by their champion, and went away |
perhaps little more enthusiastic for them
and their principles
