with me on the subject Of the charter. Ihave also
conversed with Ex-Governor Morgan, Governor
DIX and Mayor Havemeyer on the subject. In
view ofal the modes OF appointments proposed
and discussed in and out Of the Legislature, came
to the conclusion that capable and honest heads
of departments who are now discharging their
duties faithfully should be allowed to serve
out their terms, and that the general
power OF appointment should be given to
the Mayor. subject to the approval Of
the Board OF Aldermen. Such is my
present opinion-an opinion which, though ex-
pressed when appealed to, has been obtruded uI on

ton OF the manly art" took place
ct the Court House on Saturday
last, at which time two of Toledo's
young and gallant youths Of about
twenty summers each made desper
ate effort to get away with each
other. The names of the boys en-
gagged in the fight are suppressed
tor the reason, that the publication
of their names might serve as an in
centive for them to afford a local OF
this kind each week. A number of
invited guests were present, and as
the hour for the combat arrived, the
pugilsts made fearful !ungs at each
other, but no fatal result followed
A second attempt was attended
with = like esult, and then a third
AS the fighting weight off the two
boys appeared about equal, they r.

When it was thought the boys had
exercised sufficiently Shey were sep

their knees, as they probably have
done, we doubt not it would have
good effect.
