The speaker referred TO the TACT that the
President OF the Board OF Common Couneil
who had usufped the chair At the hIat reform
meeting, had been employed In foundry ia
virginia during the hrst year OF the war, In
casting cannon Tor the rebel Armyj also thai
the commissioner OF the First ward, one Of
Bowen's employees, man notorioualy bad,
had been soldier OF the rebel army for two
years. He had heard that there were Other
rebel soldiers In full identlnoation with the
corporation government He was willing 10
believe that there were good men among tho
soldiers OF the rebel army, but the specimens
ho had heard OF as being employed BY the cor.
pofAtion were not much in their favor A.
friends OF law and order. Certainly those who
try to break up public meetings are not enti
tied to respect. Why should Irresponsible men
be placed In charge Of our city government
