last night, Messrs. Pollard, Dur.
fee, Hutchinson, Clarke and Pierce,
retired from the City Council, and
were succeeded by Messrs. Daggett,
Harlan, Cummings, Porter and Bal
lingall, who appeared and were
duly sworn into Office, (cxceptJ Judge
Porter, sick). His Honor. W.B. Lit
Teton, Mayor elect; Major John s.
Wood, Marshal; Eugene Fawcett, Esq,
Solicitor; D. w. Tower, Esq, Treas
urer ;all presented thoir bonds, which
were duly approved and they were
properly installed into the Off
ces to which they have been elected
by the people.
Mayor Littleton has had expert
ence in municipal affairs, ano is withal
fair mar, ofquite respectable ability,
and will unquestionably make the
city q creditable chief magistrate
His announcement of the Commit
tees for the ensuing year seemed to
give entire satisfaction, tho two
most important of which is that on
Streets and that on Claims, of which
G. F. Blake is chairman Of the for
mer, and Robt. N. Harlan Of tho lat
tsr.
The Council as it now stands is G.
F. Blake, Pat. Brady, Col. J. s. Por
ter, WIN. Daggett, r. N. Harlan, P.
G. Ballingall, Tim Riordan and J. 3.
Cummings, anditis no flattery to say
that Ottumwa never had better a.
dermanic government.
In this connection we desire to say
that whilo in some matters we have
felt it to be our duty to dissent from
the line OF policy pursued by the late
City Council, especially in the mat
tor OF the streets, we have to say that
in the main they have met with the
general appreciation of the people,
especially after the people have be-
como familiar with the policy pur.
suod, and the fact that they have
brought the city out Of debt and city
orders up to par.
With a. large amount Of taxes
levied, aud directly coming into the
Treasury, and with an able and hon.
est city government. let US hope that
the improvements the coming year
may be substantial and creditablc tc
our growing city.

every passenger steamer is required to be
supplied with hoGt for each deck pas

benefit to deck passengers in case Of &C.
