MIR. Schnfder's Explanation.

Soon after the meeting of the Council
sthis morning, Mr.. Schneider arose and
stated that he desired to make an explain.
alton. He spoke as follows:
Mr.. Mayor rise to a question of priv
lege In the Times newspaper of this morn.
ing there is an editorial article under the
caption of The Administrator of Finance
in which l am personally attacked in man
ner go indecent, so scurrilous end so vii
famous, that it becomes my duty to call it
to your notice. OF any ordinary criticism
should make no complaint, for public off
GERS always profit by the advice of honor
able and intelligent journalists.
But this article is tissue of falsehOOd
from the first line to the last, defamatory to
my character as an Administrator and re
nectiug seriously on you and the members
of this Council. The slanderer has intro
duced only fact enough to make his lies
plausible. He has thrown SO much Of his
own character into his rascally language
that recognise him thereby.
If not deceived, know the person who
wrote the articles, and the mean and
wicked motive of his attempt to do me in
jury, and if / am right in my conjecture,
shall in due time make him known to The
public, and tae cause he has for hating me,
or any other hsnest man. To his malig
nsnt falsehood, l shall make no other
answer here.
Mayor Witt then rose. He was I'M
willing for Mr.. Schneider to take his de-
tense on himself. The Council felt it their
duty to defend him; they felt bound to re-
fuse Mr.. Schneider the right to defend him
self.
The Council itself will, il a few days, ex
plain all, over their signatures. the reason
of the attack, ETC., and have their explaua-
ton published in all the papers.-Neg Or
