MAYOR LANsDES has been in the habit
of making long speeches fran the chair at
the meetings Of the council, regardless of
the immodesty Of such u proceeding; but
ut the meeting Monday night he modestly
retired from the chair when he desired to
deliver his homies to the counclmen. In
one of his speeches he took occasion to say
that while there was clamor against the
police he knew nothing but good
OF either OF tbem-thut there were
on charges against any OF them, and
only uncertain intimations OF uhfaithful-
ness in regard to either Of them. The May.
or is disingenuous. lilo knows that hi,
statement was not strictly correct. lie is
blind il he does not know anything agains,
the police. lie knows, il he knows any,
thing that not one ordinance of the city
in relation to cleanliness and the condi
ton Of its streets is enforced. Let him toll
US il the hog ordinance has been enforced
thing about the manner in which the
policemen perform their duty, No
charges We have heard Mayor Lansdcn
say that Officer Robertson was incompc.
tent and not proper man to be on the
police force and Officer Robertson is now
saying abont the town thu, the mayor did
not nominate him to the council because
the mayor knew no would not DO con.
drmed and was resolved to keep
him in spite Of the wishes of tho council.
And appearances prove that Robertson is
right. OF all the apppointed officers of
the city Mr.. Robertson is the only one
who was not nominated to tho council.
He WAS retained on the force by an act OF
usurpation on the part Of the mayor
while tho assertion WAS fresh upon his
lips that the man thus retained was inef'
acisnt and unfit fol tho place. Well

be determined by the good Liberals Of
Cairo. A call for such meeting would
receive vt this time hearty response.
Everybody would turn out to it young and

Mr.. Linegar would accept all invitation to
address the meeting, and promptly place
himself on the platform of Liberalism.
He could do no less. He is opposed to
Grant ard Granti.m, and is in favor of
the Liberal cause and in sympathy with
the Liberal people who lately met Mt Gin

and nobody ha, ever yet questioned Mr..

ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE GAZETTE
The Attempted Assassination of the
King and Queen of Spain.

MADRID, July GA large sum of money
was found on the person of one of the prison
ers who was engaged in the attempt to take
the life Of King Amadeus. This, together
with the antecedents of the other prisoners, it
is believed, conclusively establishes the fact that
the men had no political feeling which would
have prompted the assassination of His Males
ty, but were merely hired instruments of po-
litical conspiracy. Previous to the attempt at
assassination the King had received an anony-
nous communication warning him that his life
