last meeting some two weeks ago a resolu-
ton was submitted as the unanimous opin.
ion of the committee on retrenchment and
reform. recommending that proper steps
be taken to remove from Office the present
gas inspector and his assistants, based upon
the report made by The Mayor and read at
that meeting, was adopted. Whether the
subject will be brought up or not remains
to b. seen, but we are Of opinion that it

The HORSE DIsEAsE.--I seems quite
certain that the dreadful ma!ady which has
been prevailing among the equine popula-
ton north Of US, has broken out in this
city. The first animal reported sick with
it belongs to John A. Mccall, which was
attacked on Saturday. Oninquiry to-day,
we learn that Charles Hill has two horses
sick. Robert Christian has several, Will
lam Samson three, and there are three or
four sick at the Exchange stables. We
were shown eleven horses at a hack stand
near Franklin and Fourteenth street, all of
which are affected with some disease, one
of them apparently suffering very severely.

COME INTo THE PAHTY.-Now is a
most fitting time for the young men of
Virginia to come into the Republican party.
And for the old men, too, for that matter.
AS the Norfolk Day Book well says:
1t is the party Of material development
and practical progress, and every man Of
common sense can make a speaker for such
a party. 1t is the party for the aspiring
Southern young men to join.
1t is young and robust, fully imbued
with the spirit of nationality and adj
vancement, and its great cardinal princi-
pie is the building up and advancement
of the great American people, and the
development of the of the eli.
{ re country.
