Our City Affairs.

Since the election of the present
Board of Aldermen in November
last, our city affairs have moved Oh
smoothly, quietly, and SATISFACTORY
ly. We are certain that we never
heard SO little complaint, in the same
length of time, in reference to the
general administration of the affairs
of the city, as there has been for the
last five months.
1t is true, the first and initiative
measures of the Board, to reform
abuses and retrench expenses, met
with a note of disapproval, a squeak
of pain, from the quarter whence it
was expected. The "organ" Of GER
tain officers. whose salaries were re-
duced, uttered a gfOan of disquiet
and diSgruntlement, and then-a1l
was still. The measures gave suci,
complete, such universal satistac-
ton, that the /" organ" ventured
not another whisper of dissent or
murmur of disapprOval' Since then
all has moved on smoothly, and the
action OF our new Board has given
general satisfaction. Their works
of improvement have been ,judiciOus,
and have been prosecuted alone
with an eye to utility aud economy.
The streets have been worked better
than they were ever before. and, un
der the supervision of those two
practical men, Messrs. j. S. Murphy
and B. e. Cough, the work was done
much cheaper thar previously
Other improvements have bern made
at economical rates, and the affairs
of our city government have been
admirably conducted.
Another election has been order
ed, as required by the CityCharter, to
take place next Tuesday. We have
reason to believe hat all the members
of the present Board are willing to
serve again, if elected; at least, we
have not heard that any one of them
has declined. The question arises,
Will not the taxpayers OF Canton

the corpOratiOn-men having large

fully and exert themselves to re-elect |
the present Board
1t is we'll known that there are in |
this community IL set of carpet-bag
adventurers-wiihO ut property, with
reput atien, without character-hav-
ing no pecuniary interest here what
ever, who are always looking out |
for the " MAN chance endeavOring !
to put money in their purses by any |
means, whether fair or fOui.-we |
have this class among us, we say,
and they will no doubt do their best |
10 defeat the election of the good !
and true men who were elected last /
fall against their wishes. Shall this
class Of men be allowed to put into

"THE OUTGOING BOARD."-Thl

"THE OUTGOING BOARD.'-Thls
is the term applied to our present
Board of Aldermen. The OMtgo-
ing Board" indeed! 1t is fore
gone conclusion, then, we suppose,
that they are, to go out. "The
wish is farther to the thought
probably. And why sol What has
any one of them done, or left un-
done, that he should go QUIT We
challenge any one to point to a sin
gle act of any man on the Board for
which he deserves to be voted
against in the next election. No
it cannot be done; and, to use a
slang phrase, "that 3 what's the
matter" The present Board have
retrenched and reformed abuses !;
they keep close eyes on the finances
of the city; "jobblng" has been
stopped, and it is not so easy now
to get a big warrant for little job
the result of favoritism-as it
used to be. We understand it fully,
and all good citizens understand it.
The present Board are good and
true men-men of intelligence and
character-andt they cannot be man
ipulated by anybody. They have
reduced the exorbitant salaries here
tOfore paid; they dismissed worth
less police; and they have inaugu-
rated a new order Of things. Faith
full work must nov be done for
money paid out a man must render
the city some tangible and palpable
service before he pockets Ter funds;
corrupt procuring and specializing
in'warrants has been stopped, in n
great measure: in short, there is
but little chance POW to rob the
tax burdened people.
There is a class of men here-a
"riDg" of unprincipled mercena-
ries,-we came near saying scoun-
dreis-whO only want to feather
their own nests-to put money i'm
their pockets, at the expense of hon
est, hard-working taxpayers. These
are the men who speak of the pres
sent Board as the "Omtgoiag Board"
They are renegades, carpet baggers,
scalawags. They are birds OF pass
age, and birds of prey; adventures
and mendicants, without visible
means of support. IRead the Va
grant Act.
Let them be sent to the work
house, or to the-Legislature; but
do not let them be elected Alder
men of the City of Canton. Spare
rs that infection, for Gods sake!
And 20 mote it be. Amen!'

THE SOUTHERN MAGAZINE, for
April, published at Baltimore, by
Murdoch, Browne & Hill, is just to
hand. This number is unusually in
teiesting, and the magazine is al
ways IA valuable one. In subscrib-

our people should certainly give
preference to those edited and pub.
lished Ill the South, and the pages
of which are contributed to almost
exclusively by Southern writer's.
" Support your own" is IA good
maxim. Price - per annum. 1t is
better worth that. than any other
