Before preceding 70 the election of
officers, however, Mr., Carey stated, that he had
been advised that the So called Mayors bill
had become u law with the emergency clause,
and II such WAS the case, the elections about
to be made would amount to nothing, as that
law vested the appointment Of the officers in
the Mayor. The council, however, decided
that they had no official notice of the passage
of the law, and proceeded to make its

The pretence Ct the government that it,
officers did not know that the arms which It
sold during til" FrancoPrussian war were
purchased by French agents, becomes mpu
IDENTITY false IN the light of the evidence before

The Mile Track Question.

There seems to be Il good deal of feeling,
particularly among the horse men, in regard
to the action at the last meeting Of our county
agricultural board and IN order to give them
another hearlng,a special meeting OF the
board will be held week from to-day Tie
state board, IT is well known, have not re.
4ulre6 of our county the preparation of u mile
rack, and as it would involve a heavy ex.
pcnse, "ur county society, IN its serious want
of means, have not felt justified in mourning
the expense. But now compromise is suc.
g'>ted, something like this That an assocl
alton O! horse men be formed, who shall con.
trioutc the means and make the mile track,
and in consideration shall have the use of It
for week or two each year, for say five
years, for horse shows IN June or such other
time in the year they may prefer outside of
the regular time for the state or county far.
1t is believed that. on some such basis as this,
the vexed mile track question may be settled
satisfactorily to all.

prevailed throughout the North, which, in
many instances, exhibited i;scif IN mobs
and brutal violence. Il vas then con-
sidered q loyal virtue to personally NAL.
treat every Individual who did not yield
UNQUALIFIED assent 10 the policy Of the Ma
tIonal Administration. Ange7 and revenge
took The place of al gen;ler emotions of
the human heart, and the man who thirsted
nost for blood was deemed the best pa
t-ot. AZ this juncturs Horace Greeley
s,epped forth and used all bis exerdons to
ouell the storm and prevent the destruction
of life and property by the senseless and
sanguinary mob, as the following manly
letter viii testify:

is no more, and think we shall gradually
