THE CITY COUNCIL. Dropping into the
City Clerks Office on Monday evening,
we found the city fathers in council over
the affairs of he municipality, and ac-
ceptcd courteous invitation to stay and
take notes Of the deliberations. If ore
were disposed to be captious or critical
he might find in the manner Of the DELHI
erations Of our city Solons much mater
ial for his purpose. We are compelled to
say that, parliamentary speaking, our
Council is not a model, nor does it go
heavy on dignity; (how lucky for us that
it has no summary process for contempt)
but we were impressed with the belief
that every one of its members has the in
terests, the prosperity and growth Of the
city and the comfort and convenience of
its citizens at lreart and is conscientious
" trying to promote these objects Ii
not formal and dignified our city fathers
arc earnest and practical. While not H.
liberal on the score of public improve
mcnts, they guard the treasury well and
julliciously. There are no Jobs on hand,
neither partiality to favored localities
In the selection of officers under the
Council, it has been singularly fortunate
or else remarkably wise. In word, we
are well governed as city; results prove
it and an occasional attendance upon the
deliberative meetings Of our rulers will
furnish material to confirm It.
Among the subjects Of special impor-
lance discussed ut the last meeting was u
resolution intrMuced by Mr.. Hodges,
providing for lamps Tor the new bridge
across the river, to be rcplcnishcd and
attended At the expense Of the city. This
ia u sensible suggestion and undoubtedly
will me with The approval of the large
portion Of our population who have oc.
casion 10 use the bridge. II was referred
to the appropriate committee and will be
acted upon ut the next meeting.
! Mr.. Durham introduced an ordinance
providing for the increase Of the pay OF
the City Marshal from 5000 to 5000 per
year. The former figure il 80 ridiculous
" small Tor an officer who pretcntls to do
his duty anyway efficiently, that probably
few will dissent from the policy Of doub
ling the present salary. Singalarly
enough, according to the Interpretation
Of the statutes. Marshal Randy is debar.
red from any benefit resulting from the
increase Of salary unless he shall be de-
posed BY the Council and reinstated; so
if our readers should hear that Marshal
Handy IL ousted. let them not imputc it
to dircliction or inef1aiency.
The opinion Of the city attorney upon
the right Of the Council to abate stair.

Accident.

Mr.. r. NJ. GOODMAN, Senior Edi-
tor of the journal, on driving into
the city, Tuesday morning, met with
an accident. His carriage horse
became frightened, BY a part of the
harness becoming detached, and be-
gan rapid run, and on nearing the
Office, the horse gave a sudden turn,
throwing Mr.. G. out, bruising his
right leg and spraining his ankle,
which proved very painful that
night, but which is now considerably
alleviated, and, we are gratitied to
state, he will soon be at his post
again.

In the Woods.

Notwithstanding the Louisville
Convention proved a failure, cloud
without water, men beating the air
with sticks, quite number of our
friends still groan in travail unable
to bring forth candidate to serve
them in this hour of national de8ti-
ny. They still refuse to accept the
the Baltimore National Democratic
Nominees, allowing pre- conceived
opinions, born of prejudice, 70 die
tate a course that may, probably,
give Grant and his minions the
''balauce Of power" for the next four
years, a result, we :hink, they can
derive very little consolation from.
It seems hard for them to catch the
idea, that Greeley, the only avowed
Constitutional standard bearer in the
field, ia supported by Democrats as
4 means to an cnd, to>wit: the resto-
ration of civil liberty and to murder
military despotism, that n Consti~
tutional Republic may be preserved
in its pristine purity and beauty.
The fratricidai war. that arrayed
brother against brother, must be
numbered with the blunders Of the
past, and not made cause Of section
al bitterness and animosi:y, but across
The "b!oody chasm," let there be
friendly grasp Of hands, indicative
Of mutual trust and respect, Let
the Democracy unite on this princi-
pie Of action, and there will be in the
Radical camp, such shaking OF dry
bones, as will astonish the natives,
and consign Grant to the keeping Of
defeated RadicaIism.
The doctrine that there is no diff
ference between Greeley and Grant,
is an assertion not in accordance
with an enlightened public senti>
ment. 1t is only uttered as pre-
tex, to Justify the mad prejudice8 of
few political "rear guards" 1t
is like the old colored divine, at a
camp meeting, who in his hot zeal
for his cause, gave expression to the
following unscriptural quotation:
"Bredderin, broad am de road dat
leads to def, and narrow am de road
dat leads to damanation." 1t had
the effect Of producing on one of his
hearers the following ntterance Of
his course of action: "Golly, if dat
is de case, dis niger takes to de
woods. . lrritated Politicians say
there is no difference between the
two Presidential nominees, conse-
GnentIy. many Of our democratic
friends have taken to the woods as
the last resort. Friends, come out

County Convention.

The proceedings of the County
Nominating Convention will be found
in another column, accurately and
impartially given, and which must
suffice as editorial mention of the
same, in view of the fact that the
Local acted as Secretary on that oc-
casion. We are gratitied to state,
however, that the Convention was
conducted tremendously, with a just
consideration of the merits Of respec-
tive candidates, and with due re-
gard for the best interests Of the
county. The meeting was organ
lied with full delegation from all
the districts, and was about as intel,
ligent a body as ever assembled in
Marietta for like purpose. Gen.
EIansell, of Roswell, presided with
marked dignity and ability, and with
that genuine courtesy which SO sptly
characterizes him in his associations
with his fellow citizeus in the busy
transactions of life.
