1t is with a heavy heart and q regret
almost beyond utterance that we direct
the public attention to the proceedings
OF the general council yesterday. We
had hoped, and so did the public, that
sfter the repeated and continued urg-
ings Of the press, something would have
been done in the way Of immediate re-
lief Of the people Of that part Of
our city assaIled by the yellow-feyer.
But We search in vain through the long
report. There is not one word that
points to anything like the relief need
ed. We have only a resolution appoint
ing joiEt-committee TO confer with
the physicians Of the city. That is all.
That viii consume at least one day, and
there viii be another lost by a second
meeting ofthe board. Meanwhile the pes
thence is making terrible strides. Surely
our people are gifted with patience to en-
dure This indifference to their most vital
interests at the hands Of their
public servants. We said days ago
there was no time to lose, and
Alderman Busby urged the coun-
Gil yesterday to the same effect,
but except this joint-committee, nothing
has come Of it. How much longer are
We to wait? How much longer are we
to stand, with folded hands, begging for
relief that should have been given tlCo
weeks sgo. Unfortunate "Happy
Hollow" remains in the same filthy
condition as then, and the causes of the
existing disease are hourly multi
plying, and yet the city authorities,
guardians Of the public health, as Of all
its Interests, have refused to move hand
in the work Of disinfeetion. We ask
the people to remember this. In the
hour OF direst necessity those in power
have proven utterly incompetent to ap-
preciRte the situation, or rise to a proper
consideration of ourexigencies. Can We
hope, judging by the past, that anything
viii be done, even in the next two days?
We shall see. Meantime, one hours
work to-day would be worth ten
days work two days hence. 1t is un-
necessary to comment upon such fatal
indifference to the very existence Of orr
oit,-

THE UTICA CONVENTION.

The resolutions adopted at the Demo-
cratic convention at Utica yesterday,
the full proceedings OF which are given
elsewhere, have the ring Of the true met
a.. Denunciations Of the usurpations OF
the general government, and the enun-
citation Of the true principles Of our gov
erument as understood by its
founders, come 10 US at this
day Of political triekery, with
the fresh and vigorous spirit Of the bet
ter days Of the republic, and bid US hope
for a return 10 those first principles upon
which our government, State and ma
tiOnal, properly rests. The Teiteration
Of the rights Of the State governments,
the condemnation of the congressional
aud Presidential saleTy bill, and Of all
who voted for il, and the demand
for the repeal Of the same, will
be heartily indorsed by our people. But
especially will the people hail as a good
sign the recognition Of the patriotism Of
the Liberal Republicans as worthy CO.
adjutors in the great work Of purifying
cur country Of the hordes Of political
ringsi who are running the government
as a money-msking machine, and daily
wandering farther from republicanism
and nearer 10 Csesausm and centraliza-
tion.

same. We are gratifed, also, TO note
that a resolution was adopted asking for
an increase Of the appropriation for the
improvement Of the Cumberland river.
Congress was also requested to
order surveys with 8 view to ex-
tend slack-wster to within three miles
Of the forks Of the Kentucky
river, and also for the very important
purpose Of determining the practical
bility of supplying the Ohio river dur
ing very low stages Of water, from reser-
voirs located near the sources Of the
Allegheny and Monongahela rivers.
There was another resolution adopted,
prohibiting the control by any corpora
ton Of any canal hereafter to be con-
strncted, connecting the Ohio and
Tennessee rivers with the ocean, whose
construction has been due to govern
ment aid. We hope the resolutions Of
the commission will have weight with
congress. The relief asked is more Of
a national than local character, and
will, Il granted, rebound 10 the benefit
OF the great Mississippi valley.

that the government Of Kansas was in
sympathy with the people in their ef-
forts to retain possession of their homes,
and pledging its support to the settler in
their endeavOrs TO protect their claims,
and asserting that no railroad legally
owned foot OF land in Kansas, for the
reason that they had not complied with

absence Of about an hour, rendered a

as if to assault the attorney, but he was
restrained by the marshal Of the court,
