From the foregoing 1t will be perceived that while
the population since 1858 has increased forty per
cent The expense OF street Illuminating has in
creased about 500 per cent.
In regard TO the expense OF street lighting during
the three years. 1t may be stated that In the year
1867 the appropriation was 1925 900, which was
about the average proportion during several pre-
ceding years, taxing into account the gradual
growth Of the city.
Taking into account also the increase OF popula-
tiOn the aggregate expense OF lighting streets
In 1869, 1870 aud 1871 should not have exceeded
81, $50 600. Whereas from official Information, the ex.
pense has been 81 y44 405 during that tme showing
an excess Of $594,405 more than should nave been
expended mad the money been economically used.
This 1894 405, added to the expense OF setting and
resetting lampp0sts, as before eXpressed-say

The spirit Of the Presidential canvas,
Is no, yet fully developed. There Is 4
want of organization aud unity Of ac-
iion-morc than Of purpo'c-on the
part Of the opponents Of the admins
tratlon. The following, from the Mobile
Register, has the ring Of the true metal
IN It, and we commend II TO the thought.
FIJI consideration OF the readers of this
paper
We have too often dwcll upon the ab-
solulc necessity for close and compact
organization. 10 repeat here the need OF
il. Each man among us recognizes the
fact that this canvass will be no child's
play. We have n stubborn, n viru.
lent and perfectly drllA organization
against Us, aud we can none Of Us be
weak enough to cherish the druson that
is split aud shattered condition war
rants IN u' the least approrch TO NupInc-
ness, or the very least want Of prcpar.
alton AMI of unity,
Revolutions are not made of rose
water, and victories are not won with
wind. We mean to win this fight, and
every man among Us is earnest and will
ling TO do his part IN IT, But this he
cannot not do as AN individual; he must
do it rs one of n solid and well directed
organization. Whatever his will and
whatever his activity it will be in some
sort wasted and FILTERED away unless he
can direct it TO cooperate with the
work of others. TO do Til, efficiently
he must be fully appriNcd OF how others
especially, those immediate around
him, who work in the same sphere rs
Sclf-mcan to direct their every ct.
fort, that he may bend his to the same
precise results and yet not 90 over the
same ground.

From the New York Herald.

OF The Louisville Convention to Mr.,

the presidency, the reply Of that Gentle.
man, and the final action Of the Com.
millcc in making him n candidate,
though he still persisted in form allyre-
'USlng the nomination Of the Louisville
Convention. The whole proceeding
Is very singular, aud adds n curious
chapter TO the varied political history
OF the country. We will not say that
Mr.. OConor has been Coquctting with

vile, though that might be inferred
from the course hc has taken all through

last response TO the committee. We
take it for granted that he did not desire

ccpt one, both at frs, ard at last, was
honestly given. But n he puts this in
his reply, which we publish to-day,
on the ground Of rcpLgnancc TO polit-
zeal conventions, aud rs he declares in
favor of tlr spontaneous action of the
people in choosing thc President, it IS to
be inferred that he would no, refuse to
serve should he be elected TO that high
office. That evidently is the conclusion
the committee Of the Louisville Con-
vcntion came tC when they declared
that he should be their candidate. in
spite Of his formal dcclination of that
honor. We may consider Mr.. O'Conor.
therefore. to be fairly IN the field AS the
candidate Of the straight. out democrats
and for all the fragmcniarr political clc-
mcnt' opposed to Grant on one hand
and TO Greeley on the other. 1t is prob
able. too. that Mr.. Adams nav accent
the second place on the ticket under this
new phase of the political situation.
