STATE AND CITY AFFAIRS.
STATE HOUSE,
{ From the Y. q. P;caunc. J

From tie Y. o. Picaunc.
There is growing impression prev
aient that the Governor means shortly
to make some important changes in
the Municipal Council. The reasons
which induce this change are net pre-
tended to be given, but conjecture is
multiplied and various. With some it
has political aspect, and is meant to
subserve interests not in any way con-
nected with the city government.
The present Council was organized
in April, 1870, under Executive ap-
pointment. The amended charter pro-
vided for it. Since then we have had
an election, and the Mayor and one
Administrator have been indicted into
Office by the popular vote. Vacancies
in both the departments of Commerce
and Improvements have been supplied
by the Governor under that provision
OF the amended charter which says:
All vacancies occurring by resigna-
ton, death, or any disability, at any
other time than the general election,
shall be filed by appointment of the
Governor, by and with the consent of
the Senate, when in session, or SUBJ
mitted for such advice and consent at
at its next session: PROVIDED, That
should the number of vacancies, or 9TH
er cause or reason, Justify the expense
of holding an election fer that purpose.
Vacancies may be temporarily filed,
until action Of the Governor, by the
Administrator of Finance acting as
Mayor pro fenspore; and the Mayor may
assign any Administrators to another
department., 0d Interim: and the same
course may be observed in case of tenn
porsry absence or sickness, And all
officers herein provided for shall hold
their offices until their successors are
duly elected Or appointed and quail.
fed.
1t will be perceived from this that in
the absence of certain contingencies,
the Governor has no right to create a
or make an appointment Pos
sibly, for som, gross violation of duty,
the Executive might remove an Admin
istrator. It would have to be, howev-
er, such q inauguration in Office rs
would appeal directly for redress and |.

-LEET, on ENVY ANDJEALOUSY.

l..
But the milk of the cocoanut Is to
come. and we ask Pinchback's thought
full attention to it. We suggested the
possibility of union of the colored
men to overthrow Gus carpet baggers. ~
He Conway laughed at our simple
minded fear. We noted and re-
member that he said, word for
word: "7Ae colored men, especially
the leaders, are so enrious in their
nature and jealous Of one another, a
't'ion among item for any purpose is
impossible" He furthermore stated
that If such a programme was at
tempted, he would so play upon their
jealousies as to set them fighting
among themselves like pack of Kill
kenny cats.
As soon as this conversation was
finished We noted down, among others,
the points above, for the express pur-
pose Of using them in this ''iIrepres-
sible conflict" between reform and
corruption which we clearly foresaw.
When We. soon after saw Pinchback' 3
Illuminated biography in Conway's
paper, We understood the play" upon
vanity and jealousy. When we heard
he was Park Commissioner VIC knew
an appeal had also been made to his
cupidity. When we heard his attack
upon Dunn at Turner'S Hall we were
first convinced that these appeals had
not been made in vain!
We do like Pinchback as man.
That does not prevent us from think
ing that if he was ten times blacker
than he is, people would not take him
for a white man, and ne would be
truer to the race to which he is erro-
neously supposed to belong.
The foregoing is from our kind
friend, the "talkative blonde" and
we thank him for calling our atten-
ton to it. The part in italics is toe
true to make joke of, for it is well
known that Mr.. Pinchback was the
choice of nine tenths of the colored
people OF Louisiana in the late Sen
atorial contest and in three several
caucuses of the colored members
of the Legislature lie received three
fourths of their votes. There was
one whose enry and 1alouxy were SC
great that he could not unite with
the others in supporting Mr.. Pinch
back, therefore we are forced to adj
NIT that this spirit does exist in
some. But we are CAD to be able
to say that the Course persued by
Mr.. Pinchback e:er since he has
been in public life does not warr.,n:
the conclusions the a" talkativc
blonde seems to haze arrived ut
when he says eve were first con
vinced that these appeals had not
been made in vain! Mr.. Pinch
back has on too many occasions
made personal sacrifice for the adj
vancement of his people to be open
to the charge of envy and jealousy
at this late day, and we deny en-
phatically that Mr.. Pinchback at
tackled 1t. Gov. Dunn in the Turn
ers Hall or elsewhere. What he
did there, and ,cM do everywhere,
was to defend himself from unjust
accusation, and if in this defence he
had to refer to Lt.-Gov. Dunn in n
manner not pleasing to his assosi-
ciates, we are sorry; but if we are
not mistaken in our man, what he
did say at the Turner's Hall was
but mere whispering of the breeze
that proceeds the storm compared
to what he will say should occasion
demand it.
1t is pity Mr.. Leet can't succeed
in making MIR. Pinckback a white
man

THE CHICAGO CALAMITY.

The dreadful fire, which has laid
a large portion of this beautiful
city in ruins, and reduced to beg
gary SO many thousands of people,
has been extinguished /; and with
out stopping for an instant modify
brooding over their misfortunes,
we find her people bounding to
their feet with a ,a-e elasticity and
firmmess, determined to retrieve
themselves and rebuild their be-
loved Chicago. The merchants
and bankers have held meetings
and are bringing to bear "the cool
calm judgment, the unconquerable
energy, the industry and brains of
Chicago" in the adoption of such
measures of accommodation as are
best calculated to promote the in
terests of all.
Some Of the newspapers have re-
sumed publication, the Tri5me's
Editor who has lost the result of a
life time of labor, makes his new
start with these words of courage :
"Cheer up-In the midst of a
calamity without parallel in the
worlds history, and looking upon
the ashes of thirty years accumula-
tons, the people of this once beauti-
full city have resolved that Chicago
shall rise again. With death in
many strange places, with two or
three hundred millions of our hard
earned prosperity swept away in a
few hours, the hearts of our men
and women are still brave, and
they look into the future with un-
daunted hearts. As there has never
been such calamity, so has there
never been such cheerful fortitude
in the face of desolation and ruin.
Already contracts have been made
for the rebuildidg of some of the
burned blocks, and the clearing
away of the debris will begin to-
day, if the heat is found to be so
far subsidized that the clarred mate
rial can be handled.
The Railroads are at work and
the Companies are determined to
help the people out of their Attic
ton. The Insurance Companies,
who must be heavy losers, are strain
ing every nerve to meet their obi
cations.
While this is going on in Chicago
the whole world outside is mani
testing the intensest concern to
alleviate the miseries of the home
less and the hungry.
Immense sums of money are be-
ing raised all over the country, in
British America and Europe, for
the relief of the sufferers, and we
are glad to find that very respect
able installments have already been
RENTED.
Immense quantities of clothing
have also been shipped.
New Orleans is doing her best,
and will contribute as rapidly and
extensively as it is possible for her
warm hearted people to do.

Whether there be Oh be not truth in the
charge that one of the motives for assailing
the funding bill is to degrade the value of
Virginia bonds in order that they may be
bought ut low price to be paid to the State
ut par for some of her securities, certainly the
refusal OF the Legislature to deny all purpose
Of Reputation Is calculated to strengthen the
force Of the charge. The suspension of the
funding act has had its injurious effect on
Virginia credit. The indignant denial OF
all idea Of reputation would have bro
ken the force of the blow upon State stockaud
have prevented the great decline which the
failure to do SO will certainly cause. If there
are persons or rings bearing the State stock
and operating through the Legislature, they

Gaows SMALLER.-Mr. TAYLoE's last estl-
mated deficit in the treasury on the lst 81
July, supposing we go on paying the lnterest
ON the public debt is s2Gl, 1s5 .e6-an estl'
mate which puts the amount of interest nj
the highest possible figure and that cautiously
lowers that of revenue. The deficiency Is
small one that might be smartly reduced BY
eeonomy-and one that may be wiped out by
the certain lessening Of the aggregate OF inter
est on the funded debt, as compared with
MIR. TAYLoR's estimate, and the Increase OF
the revenue, which is equally certain. With
this new view we see no reason for postpon-
ing the payment Of interest. Some way
will be devised for meeting the deficit, ii
there should not be, we may at least
paw Us far as we can, and thus give an earn-
est Of our intention. But to suspend the
payment OF interest with Il full treasury vii!
he an act so strange that the world will srls-
pect that some undevelopcd purpose is con-
trolling the Legislature, and that purpose will
not be considered good one. 1t will unset
tie confidence in Virginia, once regarded the
first Of States for probity and honr.
