THE DUTY OF C0UNCILMEN.

THE question is. Who received a
majority of the votes for City Treas
urer at the late election? That's
the question, and the only question
before the City Council, and we
have not the slightest doubt about
how il will answer it.-HeTald.
Yes that is precisely the question.
The judges and clerks of election
sworn to deal impartially with all
candidates have returned a majority
for John Banner.
In accordance with these returns
John Banner was. declared duly
elected by the board of canvassers,
and although the City Council
sought to evade their duty, a judicial
tribunal decreed that the City Clerk
must issue a certificate of election
to him. And now the question is
who received a majority of the
votes? The prima facia evidence
says that John Banner. The bur
den of the proof to dislodgs Banner
devolves upon Johnson.
It is not only necessary for John
ston to prove that a majority of the
ballots found in the ballot boxes at
the time of the recount were in his
favor, but he must prove beyond a
reasonable doubt that these ballots
were identical with those counted
by the. judges of election. Every
doubt about this identity must nee
essarily go in favor of Banner.
In order to arrive at q just and
honest conclusion, the City Council
must consider first, whether there
was any possibility of tampering
with the ballots between the time
that they left the hands of the
judges, and the time they were re-
counted.
Second. Whether the contestant
Johnson was disposed to use Dr.
rupt or dishonorable means, i'm order
to secure a verdict in his own favor.
II the evidence in this ase shows
conclusively, that there was any
possibility of tampering with the
ballots, the doubt must go i'm favor
If Banner.
If it should furthermore transpire
IN evidence that johnson had
sought to employ corrupt means for
the purpose of counting himself i'm,
there could be no possible excuse
for reversing the verdict of the can
vassers. Now, we do not propose
to handy personal epithets, but
we intend to appeal to reason, hon
or and conscience.
The Herald claims to know just
what the Council or rather the Dem
ocratic majority will do i'm this case.

mony and defy common decency,

A Policy Dealers Ideas of Gam
bling.

The following Interesting extract
is taken from the report of a CONVEX
sation between a notorious policy
man of Brooklyn and a reporter of
the Union of that city:
"Have you seen the order issued
by Police Commissioner Gardner of
New York;" inquired the policy
dealer.
The reporter replied that he had
not, but inferring as a matter of
course that it related to policy, in
auired what effect it had.
"Well," said the policy dealer,
laughing, ats like all other orders.
We have to keep a little close, you
know. But then we have to run
chances in our business"
"See here now" asked the re-
porter, 'does it really pay you to run
such risks? Could you not invest
the same time, energy and money
in a more honest business and reap
larger profits
The policy man shrugged his
shoulders. "Well 1 might, and
again l. mlgutuI
"But," queried the reporter, "set-
ting aside gain, do you never feel
any compunctions in obtaining
money in this way?"
"No," was the frank reply. at
is just this way; men will squander
their money anyhow; and they
might do 1t just as well n way as
another. Why, policy dealing is no
worse than liquor selling. 1 hold
that it isn't so bad, for a man that
drinks will often do dreadful acts
while drunk"
"But that Is no excuse for your
doing wrong"
"That's true; but then policy is
q regular business, and we've got to
make money to get along in this
world. Now, Pm 6 temperance
man ; I never drink. So you see
policy men are not quite as bad as
some people think"
off it Is true as is charged" in
quired the reporter, "that policy
depends for support solely upon the
poorest classes, can you call it hon
Orable or respectable
"As to that" was the reply, "if
we depended on the poor, policy
would not last long no, sir, it is
not the poor who p~atronize policy.
You would be surprised if l should
give YOU the names of some men
right here in Williamsburgh who
play policy. Why there r men
who invest a thousand dollars at a
time, and think nothing at all of
it.n
"Such men must be infatuated"
dryiy observed the reporter.
"Not all of them. Many of them
play because they know that they
can win," remarked the policy deal
er.
"Oh, that's all very well for you
to saw added the reporter, laugh
ing, "but 1 know from personal OBJ
that many poor people
deal i'm policy, some of them spend
ing the last ten cents they have. l
can recall a dozen just such persons
being arrested at the same time with
policy dealers. You know it too"
"Well, of course poor people play
rs well as rich people," replied the
man. "Ican say for myself that l
never took the last cent from a poor
person, and I've often sent just such
persons away because l did not wish
them to run any risks. But then,
I've helped many q poor man
to money"
"Then you consider the invest
.ent a very uncertain one?"
"No, l don't either" he replied.
'sAn investments are risky. Why,
could have made lots of money if
[ chose but l swore off playing"
BY this time the boat had touched
he bridge, and the busy rafting of
the wheels drowned the conyersa-
ion.

claimed:
"Why, this laurel hedge is alive! l"
In a moment he had sprung through it and
returned, dragging in his mighty grasp Lygdus

through the town, from the town it reached
the camp the same evening; the next day the
surrounding country knew it. Carrier pigeons
had borne to Rome a hint of the gayeties, the
interest, the splendor, which the simultaneous
occurrence of the emperor's visit, and the COL
lection of an army for real fighting purposes,
lin fact to repel the German invasion,) were
likely'to call forth in the old LATHAM town; and
now the same aertel messengers appraised many

pretty novelty indeed would be added to the
contests of gladiators and the battles of wild
beasts.
The concourse pouring into and con verging
from all parts toward Formie, which had al
ready been 30 extensive, increased, therefore,
into an enormous concentric movement. Moth
| ing can better show what q prodigious multi
tude was thus accidentally collected, than the
fact that, even at Rome, (Which then contained
four millions of inhsbitants,) diminution of
pressure was perceptible, for the time to those
who remained. This change resembled what

August. 1874. It's chief features are
Iceland is to have it's own legislature and
administration Of all local affairs. 1t will
not be required to contribute to the gen.
eral State expenditure. The Secretary
Of State for Iceland, resident at Copenha-
gen, will be responsible for the mainten-
ance of the Constitution. The King ap-
points a Governor of the Island, whose du.
ties His Majesty will define. and who is to
carry on the government on the response
bility Of the Secretary of State in Copen-
hagen. The AIthing National Assembly,
will consist Of thirty members elected by
the people, and six appointed by the King.
1t is to be divided into two Houses, Upper
House and Lower House, the former be-
ing constituted of the six members appoint
ed by the King and six elected from those
members voted into the general body of
the Althing by the constituencies. Should
the Althing have cause of complaint
against the Governor the matter is to be re-
ferred to the King, who will investigate
the complaint and determine what course
is to be pursued.
The first meeting OF the Althing, to as
sembIe at Reykjavik, will take place next
year, and, subsequently, every alternate
year. After the King had made o short
speech, o~rations were delivered to the
Icelandic nation by the respective deputa-
tons from the Universities of Christiania,
Upsala. and Copenhagen, and Mr.. Bayard
Taylor presented an address from America.
The Americans were the bearers of q large
number of valuable books-about two
thousand-as o present to the public libra
ry of Reykjavik. There were several
patriotic songs composed for the festival
by the Icelandic poets Thorsteinson and
Jochumsson, OPPORTUNITY introduced
into the proceedings between the speech
es. The effect of these patriotic songs,
sung with patriotic fervour on the ancient
plain of ThingveIlir, with its majestic
mountain pass Almannegja on the one side,
and on the other the Lojberggia, was grand.
AT eleven a d@ea@er took place in the
large tent, about $50 being present. In
reply to the toast enthusiastically drunk
to His Majesty and the Royal Family Of
Denmark" the King, with no small pow
ers Of oratory, expressed his love for Ice
land, his deep appreciation OF the warm
reception accorded him, and how this ISL
and dependency Of Denmark lay near his
heart, and ever would it be his wish to
hear of their happiness and prosperity.
The King took occasion also to remark
that the Crown Prince had the intention
to learn their langua g, and also that tho
Princess Alexandra and Princess Dagmar
felt q deep interest in their country and in
their sagas. In the afternoon tho King re-
turned to Reykjayik.
