Mr. EDITOR IL notice at meeting Of our
City Council the licenses for hotels were tixe /
at fifty and forty-hye dollars, and for saloons,
for persons that were Gas some will say not
capable OF doing anything elese for support,
at thirty-live dollars, and the license for the
man that fills an important position, at
twenty-five dollars. Last year the same
saloon was licensed at five dollars less than
the other saloons in the city, but, per-
sume, owing to the position the proprietor
holds at the present time, the majority of our
worthy Council mot forgetting the one that
always votes first) made it ten dollars less,
$50 much for our side) while our friend from
the Second Ward mot doing SO much business)
has to pay ten dollars more. | presume the
Hon. Councilman that says he stops in once
in willie when in the neighborhood and takes
a drink himself, thought they both had the
same price (which he knows is not customary
in all places in his Ward. Is this justice
If SO, we cannot see it in that light. But as

SERIOUS AceIpEN4y7 e nsA Monday afternoon
of CHS week, as Number Of workmen were
engaged in raising the frame of barn for
Bray s. Wilson, on the lot in this city between
Clinton street and the Canal Feeder, above
Huff s. Burroughs Grain Store, and while they
were putting up the fourth ''bent, y from some
cause it was drawn beyond the PERPENDICULAR
and fell over against the others, crushing
them all to the ground. Some eight or nine
men stood under these, but all of them but
two got out of the way Mr.. Aaron Lake, of
this city, formerly of the vincinity of New
Market,) was struck across the back and
breast by the falling timbers and thrown on
his face, almost the entire weight of one of
the bents resting up him. Frank Hammer
of this city, boy of II, Was also struck and
sAperely bruised. Both were carried to their
homes and medical aid rendered to the first
by DR.. Lilly and Dr. Studdiford, and to the
latter by DR.. Rice. Lakes injuries were be-
lived to be fatal, at first, but we learn that he
is improving, and there is a prospect of his
recoyery-s The boy is also doing well. Mr.
Levi Mettler escaped injury by jumping in
to the canal.

sNx = tANft For THE RECORD
G ESTL EMEN FTHE COMMON COUNCIL.

With commendable zeal you have at once
settled down TO business, and by excluding all
other matters, have succeeded in granting
license to various parties and places for the
stle of liquors.. This is as 1t should be--gov-
eminent was Instituted anong men for this
express purpose and your promptness must
give great satisfaction to your constituents,
at least to all those who have any right to
mingle in government matters.
No man should be permitted to sell without
the consent of Council, and l hope you will
take measures to stop all Illegal traffic in the
article--the places already licensed can sell
as much as will "conduce to the public good. y
am, however, of the opinion that the power
to grant, also implies power to sell, so that
any member Of Council desiring to sell would
clearly have the right to do SO, either on sun
day, or during the week, particularly in the
Third Ward See Purtle's Digest, Page ii,
Vol. 81.
But this brings up another subject AS
there is No rose without thorn, ? SO even
the sale of liquor has some disadvantages.
Complaints have been quite numerous Of late
in regard to auarrels and street fights. A
Traveller stopping at ones OF our hotels, last
Saturday night was under the impression that
the Battle OF Gettysburg had been enacted
over again during the night under his win
dow. He says the blows kept him awake,
while the oaths and curses shook the windows
evdn in the third story, and that it continued
during the most of the night. I, myself, Oh
served dozens of drunken men on the streets
during the early part of the evening" and have
.9espltold TINT about midmghts the fight he
came general all along the line. This, | be-
lieve, is not an unusual occurrence.
Our police force does not appear to be as
perfectly organized, or to act as promptly as
the other departments Of our city government
and fears are now freely expressed that the
roughs may gobble up the policemen and
deprive us entirely Of their valuable services.
To prevent this, would respectfully suggest
to your honorable body that a police force be
Immediately appointed, consisting of all those
who are now waiting and willing to serve
that the money received from the licenses gran
ted be used as far as it will go towards arm
ing the entire force with ,popygpps, and that
they be Instructed 10 protect each other
and then it would be well to request the citi-
zens to assemble in mass meeting to devise
means tostay the ravages of rum in our midst,
to keep order on the streets, to arrest men
who, while crazy with drink, travel around
at all hours of the day and night, cursing aud
fighting, disturbing the slumbers of order
loving, hw-abiding and tax-paying citizens.

MIR. EDIToR II visited our City Council
at its stated meeting on Monday evening of
last week. did not expect to find very
large representation of the intellect of our
city assembled there, but must confess that
it far exceeded my most sanguine expectations
in the quality of Observation-Disclosures. In
observing its proceedings during the time of
its business, | could not prevent myself from
coming to the conclusion, that the President
of the Council must have been chosen to that
position because he lacks entirely the qualiil-
cations to fill that important office. To my
surprise, he is not capable of stating ques-
ton in proper form when he wishes the men,
stand the effect of a vote when had he
cannot answer the simplest question of Or
der; and In fact, islnot always sure on which,
side he ought to vote and in violation of all
rule, he persists in voting first on all questions
in which he is interested, for what purpose /
cannot tell, unless it is that his adherents,
(who seem to be very yweH drilled,) do not
know which way toSoteaintilthey sccsome ndi-
cation from their head OF how he wishes them
to vote. The president is not the only weak
place in this body, by any means, else winks
and mods from the chair would not always
be so efficient in controlling the action of a
majority of it, members, Is il not,a burning
shame that The interests Of our city, varied and
diversified as they are, should be placed in the
hands and under the control of such Coun-
Gil as we have at this time? Last year it was
infinitely better than it is at present. We then
had president that knew how to conduct
business, and was qualified to direct the de-
alterations of the body He, with the men,
bers from the Second Ward and one or two
others formed perhaps as nearby a representa-
ton of our citizens as we shall ever have
But on what grounds were the majority of the
present Council chosen? Can you tell? Was
it intelligence? Was it business capacity?
Was it that they held so much property that
it was necessary that they should be chosen
to protect their rights from the entertainments
of the common or poorer class, who might by
voting away their money on schools, or.
streets, or municipal improvements, impoyer-
ISL, them !? Ieannot solve these questions
sowill leave them for the consideration of
wiser heads then mine.. i LIS w
