Letters from the People.

Ldoorsng Aen Of the Corpordtion-Prior to tn
last Mayoralty election you were promised
many good things by the present incumbents Of
municipal ONCE and by their adherents. Labor
was to be plenty, and of course the wages of
labor promptly paid. There was to be an un-
ekampied season OF prosperity, and your hearts
were made happy in view of the improved con-
dftion OF your wives and little ones Visions of
happy and comfortable homes, with plenty of
wholesome food, adequate aud Comfortable
clothing, and snug sum of money laid away
for rainy day or invested in a homestead filled
your minds and hearts with cheerful content
ment- With unsuspectlng confidence you relied
upon their fair and f1attering promises and
gave your votes with cheerful alacrity.
Two years have now nearly elapsed, and 1
would ask you, how have their promises been
kept? Have your reasonable expectations been
realized? has labor been plenty ? have YOU
been paid Tor labor reformed in legal money of
the l nlted states or in Corporation scrip or in
orders for groceries and other necessaries of life
which you could not use without subjecting
yourselves to heavy shave. Are your homes
more e e,n3nd your wives and children
means 10 sustain you in case of sickness or other
disasters which are ever liable to occur {? Are
you better of now than then? 1 want you to
put these questions to yourselves, and ponder
them well, for the same party, with the same
fair promises, are again proffering you the right
hand Of fellowship and asking your votes to con-
We have passed through two winters of un-
exampled mildness and yet want and poverty
have been extreme. Strong arms and willing
hearts have been p0werless TO supply the neces,
sary wants of dependent families, for the hopes
OF promised and anticipated prosperity vanished
with the going down of the sun Of election day
and well nigh crushed the growing prosperity
or the city, and extreme legislation filled the
bosoms Of our solid men with fear and appre-
henslon. Are you satisfied with this state of
affairs Are you ready and willing to perpet-
nate them, selling your birthright for few days'
labor doled out by penurious hands, and to be
paid for in deprecated Corporation scrip? Let
your answer come through the ballot-box on
the first Monday in June next. CITIZEN .

The action OF the Senate on the G.or,,, NJ,

The action OF the Senate on the Georgia bin
last night was altogether unexpected by most
OF those who have interested themselves in the
reconstruction Of that State. The amendment
OF Mr.. Pomeroy, which was finally adopted AZ
substitute for the whole bin, declares the ex-
listing government In the State Of Georgia to be
provisional, and provides that it shall continue
subject to the provisions of the reconstruction
acts until the admission Of the State by law to
representation In Congress; and for this purpose
the State Of Georgia shall constitute the third
military district In accordance with the pro-
visions OF, and under the powers and limitations
provided In the reconstruction acts, an election
shall be held on Tuesday, the 18th day Of No
vemoer, 1870, for all the members of the Gen
eral Assembly provided for In the constitution
OF said State, adopted by It's convention on the
18th day OF March, 1865, at which election All
persons who, by said constitution, are electors
shall be entitled to vote. The General Assem-
bly, 20 elected shall assemble at the capital of
the State on the 18th day Of December, 1870.
and organize preparatory to the admission of
the State to representation in Congress. The
powers and functions Of the members of the ex-
isting General Assembly shall cease and de-
termine on the said 18th day Of December, 1870.
After the adoption of the substitute bin Il
was amended by the addition of q section au-
thoriLlhs the Ffesiueht 10 suppress domestic
violence In any State that cannot be suppressed
BY the local authorities, by employing the mill
tsry force or the United States, or the militia
OF any State, anu authorizing the President to
exercise the same towers as I'm case of invasion.
Mr.. Edmunds moved to amend by providing
that this should not be construed to give the
power Of suspe nding the writ Of habeas corpus:
but this motion Was rejected-ayes -, nays %.
Another Amendment repeating certain laws, 50
as to permit tn organization and calling into
service Of she militia Of the State of Georgia.
was agreed To by party vote-yeas 4s, NAYS 0,
and the bill n thus amended was then passed
by vote OF 2 TO .. The Democrats, it seems,
voted Tor the adoption of Mr.. Pomeroy's amend
ment as substitute for the pending bill, for
which they were congratulated by Mr.. Nye on
having "voted sOldly to put Georgia back un-
der military rule" AIR. Thurman said thew de-
eiined to be led into discussion on that subject
at the present t'Tue- We judge that this hasty
disposition OF the matter viii hardly be accept.

we are glad 10 announce that the Council
of the city of Plymouth, o., have purchased
one of the United States Chemical Fire En-
gines, manufactured at Chicago by the U. s.
Chemical Fire Engine Company. The test to
which one of these machines was subjected on
Tuesday morning last, has eminently satisfied
every one in this community that they have
not been over-rated and that by skillful man.
agement they are capable of performing won
ders almost beyond belief. The most skeptical
are now loud in their praise. Notwithstand-
ing the disadvantages under which il
worked, being frozen up when brought from
the depot, and having valve broken
before it was fairly placed IN action,
besides no one knowing how TO work
it successfully and enly having a limited
supply of chemicals on hand, vet il is univcr.
sally acknowledged that the quenehing #
the flames was in great measure owing to
the chemical fire engine. Had it not been
for this fire annihilator there is no doubt that
the entire row of buildings on the southeast
eide of the square would now be in ashes
To view the buildings in juxtaposition to the
ruins, it seems as if either miracle had been
performed or a number of steam engines had
been playing upon the ruined mass. 1t has
been incentestably demonstrated that small
quantity of water saturated with this chemi-
cal compound has much moro effect in sub.
ordinary water, and the result Will be that
great revolu ion viii be wrought in the
mode of subduing fire, by the general intro
duction and use of these chemical fire en-
