The Res0iutions Of Monddy-Mr. Isadcs
Determined to See the Bottom m-Lookout. for
Squalls. s.-From the proceedings of the City
Council, meeting Of which was held on
yesterday, and which we publish below, it
will be gratifying to the Taxpayers of Rich
mond to know that they have elected to
that body several gentlemen whose con-
duet give evidence of intelligence and mteg-
rity. M issH
They feel such regard for their reputa-
-tions as public officials, entrusted ithpub-
lie monies, as to seek an investigation into
the conduct of their predecessors, and to
ascertain exactly what responsibility rests
upon themselves at the beginning Of their
official career. In short, they are deter
mined not to accept the mantle just fallen
from other shoulders without first ascertain
ing its freedom from yermin and pollution.
Their action will be sustained and endorsed
by every citizen of Richmond, who regards
| the interests and welfare of his community;
but, whether sustained or not, Mr.. lsaacs
is after the cat in the meal tub.
From the proceedings, it will be seen
that Mr.. Isaacs, in his yentilating resolu-
members, mem % and opposed by members of the
old Council. This looks a little queer to a
man up a tree. Mr.. Isaacs'. determination
to do or die in the direction of investigation,
is ample assurance to the people, that if
fraud has been committed and members of
the old Council made rich by them, the
means Of ascertaining the facts are in the
hands Of proper persons.
We cannot understand the justice of the
objection of Mr.. Wynne to the report being
made by Auditor Allderdice, because he is
a Republican, since he was elected to the
position he holds by the people, and is, in
our opinion, and that of leading, intelligent
and influential members of the Council, the
proper one to make the reports. We shall
see the end Of these corruptions yet, and
our readers may expect some interesting
Developments in short time. We have
much to hope from the present Council, if
we are permitted to judge by the beginning
of its proceedings. ff
