II seems to be settled that exAlderman
Cunningham of Brooklyn is to be the sue
cessor of City Treasurer Sprague. The hope
that the Mayor would go outside of politics
and give the city confidence by the appoint
ment of a man remote from political lniiu-
ence appears TO have been vain.

The account is correct, so far as the balance
is concerned but what should we think of a
tradesman who persisted in keeping his books
in this way and advertised himself in the
newspapers as having hundred dollars in his
till, when in reality there were only seventy !
The rest of the ghOstly ten million dollars
will be found, we think, to have been paid
out for bonds included in the fifty million
call of March I, of which it is asserted that
eleven millions, or more than one-ffth, were
still outstanding and unpaid on August 81.
Our correspondent at Washington having been
instructed by us to ascertain the actual
amount redeemed under this call, was refused
all information.

| SINS OF OMISSION AND COMMISSION.
The session has been long and expensive
one, yet 1t is doubtful if more business
or general Importance has been transacted
than that accomplished by the majority of it.
predecessors. Indeed, the percentage of pub
nc measures passed during the fourteen week.
the Legislature has been in session, is shame
fully low, whilst the number of good bin,
slaughtered is correspondingly high. Bill,
modifying the usury laws have uniformly been
voted down. Lewis Thompson excellent ex

THE MONEY REPRESENTED IN THE CORPORATION
ACTS.
The amount of money represented in the
corporation acts passed, mot including the
Maryland and Delaware Ship Canal Bill will
reach about four millions of dollars Add to
this amount the money that will be used if the
canal Is constructed, and you have total of at
least ten millions of dollars. This makes a
good showing and argues well for the prosperity
OF the State in the future. A great deal of
this large sum will be applied before the year
is out to the development OF the enterprises

DOVER Has A STORMY TOwN MEETING
Monday night town meeting was held in the
Court House, to decide upon site for the
new post office, authorized at the last session
OF Congress. The meeting was a boisterous
affair." and during the evening was presided
over by not less than three gentlemen, who
eacn IN tnrn became disgusted and vacated the
char: The downtown people want the new
building erected on the square the uptown
people don't. They were about equally divid-
ed last night, and when the up towners made
a motion the down tOwners felt il jnc1mheut
upon themselves to vote it down. and did II
hen motion came from the other side the
up-towners would retaiate and in this man
ner the meeting was continued until a late
hour. Speeches were made and received with
mlngling of misses and applause, and one of
the speakers gave it out from the platform
that he would not consume time BY addressing
a set OF ID jackasses. 1t being impossible
to adjourn the meeting in any other way, the
lights were turned out, and in few minutes
the crowd consented to disperse.

The MIDDLETowN SwEDEs.-The Swedish
servants about Mlddletown are not proving
all that fancy painted them. DissentiOns are
arising between them and their employees
and they are manltesting about as much human
nature as the rest OF mankind. The EUery
ECcdtng OF Saturday says: Our latest advices
are TO the effect that fourteen of the Swedes
employed in and around Middletown, have lett
their places and that many more are greatly
dissatisfied. Ii seems that many of them have
correspOnded with MIR. Rose, Swedish gentle
man, agent for Mr.. John Ericsson in New York
aud that he has informed them that they are
under no obligations morally or legally to re-
main in the employ of those who paid their
passage, for a whole year. In a letter to Que
OF them MIR. Rose says Il would advise you to
remain at least five months but not day over
six months" 1t seems that according to the
contract, the girls are to work for the em
plOyer one year at 81 per month, S. of which
each month is to be retained to compensate him
for the 500 advanced to bring them over Now
the claim made by those who declare the
Swedes imposed upon in this matter, is two.
fold. First. That as it only cost about $40 to
bring each Swede over, and any steamship
agent would have gladly done for them just
what Mr.. Malmsten has done that the twenty
dollars over the actual expense charged by him
is extorllonate. Second. That the rate of
wages agreed upon is too low, and that the i'm
migrants are therefore imposed upon. d"
