THE PRESIDENTS BROTHERs-IN-LAW.

On the strength of the intelligence that the
Administration had determined not to aid Mr..
Dent, brother-in-law to the President, in the
Mississippi election, the Statesman goes off at
high pressure thus:
Hail to the Soldier Of the Wilderness, who is our
Captain This act forms another alliance between
him and the hard working tax-paying millions of the
American people. 1t is another assurance that
cay and thievng in high well how places shall
be abated 1t is declaration of against bribery
and corruption which now boldly stalk abroad at
MONDAY. 1t is proclamation to all the world that
he Is not so much Republican parti an that he will
not assist in putting down all who prey pon the treas
ury or upon popular rights through corrupt channels.
This is all hippancy and bosh. AS we never
heard Dents name coupled with any rascal
ty or thieving, or with bribery and corrup-
tion," we hardly know what to think of the
Statesman's delightful agony of joy. There is
a brother-in-law of the Soldier of the Wilder.

How about this, Reynolds is this another
case of Hail !" And did not the Soldier OF

in the line of rc,cardiRg rascality and corrup.
ton when he violated his pledged vows and
transgressed plain law, law I4ssed too by a
Republican Congress, by the appointment oi

aud aduterer! Then, think Of appointing Ash
ley, of infamous character as Governor OF
Montana. II these aud similar appointments
are the evidences you boast OF, We fear that
rascality and thieying, and bribery and corrup-
ton have such sway, through the aid and coun-
tcnance of the Soldier of the Wilderness, that
before their raid on the Treasury is completed
there will not be left dollar to steal, and that
the working, tax paying millions, will have TO
severely sweat from overwsrk aud sorely groan
from burdens imposed by harsh rulers, to pay
off the heavy debt incurred to feed the rapa-
ciOus horde who fattcn on the body polite.

tle-feld of Gettysburg. In his letter
declining to attend the meeting of Off
GERS of both armies for the purpose Of

he says:

it engendered.

had not yet returned. This courtesy
was due him, and he believed in ac-
cording every member his fullest
rights.
Mr.. Cowell said it would rejoice his
heart to have the tower; it was needed
badly, but if these property owners
ascertain that we are pressed to pur-
chase the land now they will be apt to
put up their price, and the city will
necessarily be the loser. He would go
as far as any member in favoring the
erection of the fire alarm, but he did
not wish to make it a,detriment to the
city, whose interests he would guard to
the best of his ability.
Mr.. Price stated that the fire. alarms
have been badly regulated. He thought
that we were not far behind Newark
in this matter, for only the other night
both departments ran several miles to
meet each other The fire happened
to be midway between the two cities,
and yet the Newark department, with
its tower, telegraph, &C., had been
misled. He did not see the great need
of a tower.
Mr.. Gray said that there are several
lots in the Third ward, which are ad
mirably. situated, and can be made
available for a tower and station
house He favored making the con-
tract before the land increased in price,
but the same could not be paid for I'M
til the next years appropriations had
been made.
Mr.. Ropes did not see any necessity
for a fire tower. What we do want lis
telegraph, which will answer all the
purposes of an alarm. If we have a
tower, we shall need three men to AZ
tend it. Let us have a telegraph, If
anything at all. The gentleman from
the Seventh ward had some tine since
said that we did not need any new
steamers, because there was no water
to supply them. How does he expect
to get water from an alarm tower ?
Mr.. Lyon thought there were too
many false alarms and they were gen
orally created by No. Us bell. He
said that he had some time ago offered
resolution directing the Fire Commit
tee to take charge of that bell. He
had offered the resolution at the re-
quest of Mr.. Price, the chairman of the
Fire Committee, and had shown that
gentleman the said resolution before
presenting it to the Council. Subse
quently the Fire Committee had re.
ported that no blame could be attached
to that companyIfor the state of affairs
which had existed. He knew one good
effect from his resolution-false alarms
had been few and far between since
that period.
Mr.. Wiley said he was decidedly
in favor of the bell tower, but he
could not vote for the resolution I'M
less the chairman had an opportunity
to explain. After some further debate
Judge Tenney's resolution was LOST

Mr.. Ropes moved to adjourn. Lost

Secret Organizations.

The politics of Massachusetts, are smartly
perplexed by secret societies. The Salem
Observer SAYS there is a " secret powerful,
fresh, and insidious element y at work there
which claims 10 be based upon the strength
of $4,000 votes. It refers to the " Crispin
Lodges " and other labor organizations.
1t is quite plain that much confusion has
been introduced into parties and national
politics. There is wanting little more
Roadway and o somewhat fr,ncr hand upon
the helm of the ship Of State. Things have
gotten in o slackcncd condition. The ship
rolls with the waves left by the storm, while
there is neither steam nor wind enough to
take her ahead. The sails flap lazily, and
the yokcs about the mast creak from the
rolling Of the ship.
If tho commander would but seize hold
upon the helm, order all hands to duty.
put on steam, and steer himself, in sixty
days complete revolution would be brought
about. without something dccisive-with-
out prompt and determined action, based
upon the most liberal and patriotic princi-
pies, such MS General GRANT has time and

must continue; and whittier the ungovcrncd
and undirectcd impulses Of sectional par
