Sc,yDAL-It was the saying of an
old acquaintance of ours, when his at
tention was called to anything that had
q smacking of scandal in it, Il have so
much to do, thatI cannot hear it. One
half my time is taken M with my own
business, the other half with letting
alone that of my neighbors. How
many excellent opportunities of letting
alone other peoples business ore slight
ed and the world is troubled with the
interference of people with what does
not concern them. Neighborhoods are
driven crazy by reports Of idle and mis-
chievous people, .who watch for occa-
sions of scandal, and lose no opportuni-
ty of making it public, regardless Of It's
truth, or of the injury it inficts upon
the feelings of others. Gossip passes
for fact. and surmise for history, and the
nimble lie runs many a league while the
truth is putting on its boots

dents from those States. The committee say
that they have not had time to investigate the

Organisation Of the City Gevernnent. 0 ="
The newly elected city government was or
~ ganized yesterday, and In convention Of both
brancheg of the city council, the Mayor elect,
Eon. Joseph J. Eveleth, took and subscribed
the necessary oaths of Office and delivered
the following address
Gentlemen Of TIE City Coane.l.1 -
The management OF the Municipal affairs Of
the City for the ensuing year has been com
United to us, and We have assumed the re-
sponsibilities attached to it. We have each
come under solemn obligation to discharge
our several trusts with fidelity in the spheres
of duty assigned to us respectively.
Deeply grateful to my fellow citizens for
the honor they have conferred on me by the
recent election, it is my purpose, as doubt
not it's yours, to fulfil that obligation faith
fully and impartially to the best of my ability
am gratified to find among my associates
In authority, gentlemen well known and re-
spected throughout the City for their intelli-
gence, capacity and integrity on whom can
rely with confidence for counsel and for CO.
operation on all suitable measures that may
be proposed for the public good.
FINANCES.
The first and most important question for
BY the report of the Auditor the liabilities
OF the city are estimated as follows;

due but not called for. sllO22
Notes payable demand, SOL
Loans negotiated in former years
due in 1871 ii 26l

He further estimates that the taxes yet to be
collected will be sufficient to pay the outstand-
ing claims.
Its not possible for me to state the liabilities
and resources of the city with entire accuracy,
from the fact that settlements and payments
Of accounts are continued to the close of the
municipal year, and have been obliged like
my predecessors to rely on estimates. This
difficulty may be obviated hereafter by re-
curing all claims to be presented on or be-
fore the last day Of February of each year,
and referring those presented afterward to the
succeeding administration. In this way the
accounts may be audited and printed in season
for examination at the beginning Of each mu-
nicipal year.
The Auditors report, when completed, will
doubtless furnish all the additional informa-
ton you may require in regard to our fnances.
HIGHwAYs, &c.
The condition of the roads, streets and side
walks affects the daily convenience of our
citizens. more than that of any other depart
ment Hence they cheerfully submit to large
annual appropriations to keep the roads and
sidewalks in good repair, only requiring in
return that the expenditures be made with
sound judgment and economy.
