had directed the removal OF the pump at the
corner Of Duke and St. Asaph streets.
The Chair inquired BY what authority the
committee had directed the removal OF the
pump.
Mr.. Harrison said that Council had referred
the matter to the committee with lover to
act.
The Chair thought Mr.. Harrison Was mis-
taken
The record Was examined and it appeared
that memorial Tor the removal of the pump
was referred 20 the Com mittee on Streets, but
without more
MIR. Harrison said that ut a subs, quent meet
ing the committee had reported and the matter
had been again referred 10 them with power
to act.
The Chair directed an examination Of the
minutes. but such action was not found thereon.
MIR. Harrisonl can't help it sir, don t
keep your records.
The Chair then requested Mr. Harrison to
endorse the recommendation OF the committee
upon the petition. and Mr.. Il. did 50.
MIR. Shnn was thea called to the chair.
MIR. Smoot had been member OF the Coun
ell a long time, but had never known work to
be undertaken by committee unless by the
direction of Council. For himself he waI op
posed to removing the pump mentioned. tie
passed that pump four times day anil he
sometimes saw as many as four drays there
tho draymcn using the pump to water their
horses There were no public hydrants and
these pumps were necessary Tor the roor who
had no hydrants.
Mr. Harrison was surprised at the remarks
of MIR. Smoot, in regard to watering horses at
that pump Horses would cot drink that water.
Although the gentleman has passed there
four times day, it was long time ago, when
he was boy.
Mr.. Smoot-I said no such thing, | said
passed there now.
Mr.. Harrison-Excuso Me sir, I thought
you meant when you were small boy.
In the course of further discussion Mr.. Har
rison insisted that tho high character Of Mr..
Mahaffey, Mrs. Stabier and others who signed
the memorial. and the energy OF the Nlessrs.
Covling entitled them to have the pump re-
moved.
Mr.. Smoot responded that many of the
etitioners did not live near the pump. tie
was SURPRISED at this action OF the committee,
for he understood some OF its members had not
been consulted, and that three oil them were
opposed to it.
Mr.. Harrison knew where that came from.
He had seen COL Suite talking to MIR. Smoot.
Now, Col. Suite had the govt, and the COM
mittce could not get him out TO act with them.
The Chair-That is out OF order.
The discussion was continued at some length,
and finally Council disagreed to the recommen
dation Of the committee, and adopted motion
OF Mr. SmoOt to repair and continue the
pump Adjourned.

If the harsh and severe criticisms on Gen.
Grant which now find daily utterance in
some of the leading Republican papers had
originally appeared in Democratic journals,
they would be attributed to purely vindic-
tive party spirit. But coming as they do
from his own political household, they pos
sess peculiar significance, and show that the
prominent Radical editors of the country do
not entertain even a decent respect for the
present incumbent of the White House. An
drew johnson was never made the target of
so many poisoned darts as have been lately
leveled at Grant by his own partisans. The
following plain talk from the Chicago Re
publican is but one of many cases in point:
at has been no uncommon thing for party
organs in the United States to accuse Pres;-
dents of their own party of party offences, un-
truth to the party principles, or unfaithfulness
TO their actual or implied pledges in respect to
individuals or policy. 1t is the common fate
of accsding Vice Presidents to suffer under ac-
cnsations of party per6dy in general accom-
panied, for the sake OF emphasis with sugges-
lions OF official malfeasance. But the official
career of General Grant presents a case that is
peculiar. He stands charged not so much with
unfaithfulness to his party as official mscon-
duct and personal meanness and these charges
are so wei established, so universally believed
and so freely enlarged upon, that the organs of
his own party even which speak in his favor or
attempt his vindicatOn are the exception. No
American President, taking for it the testimo.
ny OF the Republican press, was ever more
thoroughly despised OF deserved it better than
the one who now dishonors the highest place in
the gift of the people by his tenancy
