SECOND WARD COUNCILMAN. 1t will be
seen by reference to the proceedings OF the
meetiug 10 the ID Ward last night that Mr..
Lewis Mckenzie has been nominated for
seat 10 the Common Council. MIR. Mckenzie 5

experience 10 business and in the conduct of
municipal affairs, and his knowledge of the
priucip les governing finance aud revenue, will
make his ripe judgment an acquisition to the
deliberations of the Council; besides, his uoml-
nation is an indication Of that libcraliy of pub
lie sentiment which aims to secure the public

on the lett, aud the second ward 10 front with
the third 10 the rear Of it. In one corner Is a
handsome water stand. The window shades
are of delicate pearl color, and handsome

stand, light up the room. The name of each
member handsomely executed by Mr. II. ;.
Lcadbeater, is affixed to his desk. The office
of the Superintendent and Clerk, just below,
is, also, very pretty room. Oak paper with
base OF walnut is used the ceiling being pa
pered IN tresco. On one side are the cases con,
tanning the archives, while on the other Is the
long, walnut table formerly used by the Board,
but now appropriated to the use of the Clerk

covered the floor of the old Board room, but
was found too small for the new one, has been
used 10 this office, and the curtains are green,
giving an air of neatness and comfort to the
whole which We think few Offices can excel.

pleaded guilty lin order to prevent Jury

the Judge to sentence him, and it was gen

| The Republican managers at Washing:
ton resorted to desperate and dispicable
trick during the last days of the late ses-
sion of Congress- by enacting law to pun
ish editors for exposing their frauds and
stealings. Under what is called the Pc.
land law, Boss Shepherd has appeared
before the Grand Jury Of the District and
procured an indictment for libel against
| Charles A. Dana, of the NY. Sun, for ex.
posing the Boss's frauds and stealings and
we expect an effort will be made to drag
him to Washington for trial. The object
is to deter the press all oyer the country
from speaking out in regard to bad gov
eminent at Washington. The n. Y. Tri-
bune says:
The case is similar to that of Mr.. Buell.,
correspondent of the Detroit Free Press.
charged with libeling Senator Chandler.
If either of these persons has been guilty
of libel he ought to be punished. The
press of the country demands nothing for
them but fair trial under circumstances
in which they shall suffer no injustice or
unnecessary hardship. That there is
manifest injustice in the law and that it is
intended to be made the instrument for
muzzling the press is stoutly maintained
1t now appears that the Poland bill was
drawn by District Attorney Harrington, as
sisted by Mr.. Shepherd himself. Its pur-
pose under the circumstances can hardly
be matter of doubt Judge Poland has
already attempted an explanation of his
connection with the measure. 1t remains
for him to make one more statement to
settle the question whether he was guilty
accomplish or an ignorant tool Of the per-
sons who drew the BILL
