MIR. Todd hoped that the Board would
not adopt the substitute sent from the Coun-
Gil. but would adopt the report as IT came
originally from the Committee on Streets.
MIR. Todd said that it bad always been the
custom to make such grades as in the opin-
ion of the City Engineer would best subserve
the interest of the city. He knew that the
committee was fully borne out by the actions
of previous committees and engineers, and
it would, in his opinion, be a most unfortu-
nate affair to adopt the Councils substitute;
that if General Johnson's resolution IS con.
Cured in, it will be simply to save the shade
trees which have heretofore adoi ned Inc
street in that vicinity; the night, then' IS
being made alone for the trees.
at this point Mr.. Todd presented q resoiu-
ton providing for the appointment OF a con-
ference committee Of ten-tiye from eacn
body-to whom shall be referred the ques-
tion at issue, and to decide the question Oh
grades, &c. a.
Mr. Smith opposed the reference OF the
subject to any committee.
The question being taken on agreeing 10
the substitute proposed by the Common
Council, the resolution was relecteo-ayes'

NEW CoLLECToR.-We were no less
sarprised than gratifed at the telegraph
ic announcement of the appointment Of
Henry A. Webster, Esq, as Collector of
Customs for the Puget Sound District.
This appointment is as creditable to the
Administration sas it is honorable to
Mr., Webster. A few months since he
was driven from his home by Federal
officials. his property coEfscated for
Government use. and his character as
sailed as if he were an outlaw or vaga.
bond, outside the pale Of decent social
intercourse. Knowing the honorable
character Of the man, and the dishonest
and malevolent character of the perse-
cutioa Of which he was the object, we
boldly espoused his cause, and hence
our delight that he has been SO fully
and honorably vindicated. He left here
six months ago. believed by his perse-
cutors to be 4 ruined and disgraced
man. BE is now ready to return with
over $40. 900 awarded hin, by Congress
for the spoliation practised upon him
by the Indian ring, with mail contract,

RoBBERY.-The premises of Mr.A.W.
Piper, mex. door to the Telegraph office,
were entered by burglars Thursday
night. They entered through the door
at the back Of the house, and went
through to the front part of the store,
whence they took the till and also q
wine cake, which Mr.. Piper said he had
poisoned for rats. The till was taken
to the kitchen and examined, but they
got nothing but some small change.
They then went up stairs to the sleeping
room of Mr.. R. N. Rylatt and took his
coat, vest and shirt and his revolver,
which was hanging on a nail over his
head. They carried his clothing to the
head of the stairs and went through his
pockets, getting plug of tobacco and
a watch. The whole loss is about $65.
This is the fourth burglary in six weeks.

dress the convention.
! Tho committee withdrsw, and in a few
minutes returned, accom- panied by Gen.
Anderson, who took the stand and made
a talk OF h4lf an hours duration.
He thanked the convention for the
nomination. In the pas. ho had had oc-
casion tn thank his friends and neighbors
for honors conferred upon him by them,
but never before in his lie did lie feel 80
proud as on this occasion. This was the
fret convention Of honest farmers and
lsborers that ever assembled in this part
oi ,ha State, and he, NJ their standard
bearer, would fight lard to lead the van
on to victory, He denounced the moniced
monopolis Of the country, monopols that
were enrichIns themselves At the expense
of the farmer and laboring man. lie saw
before him many men, who
had in past years acted with
the Democratic party and just MS many
who had scted with the Repub-
lican party, but party ties no longer
bound them--they had broken the chains
and determined to let parties take care Of
themselves. The honest farmer would no
longer bs bound by party, but hence on
ward act for himself independent Of poll
tiGians and political rings. lie appealed
to the farmers to be firm and not to let
/ Sam. Marshall and John Logan drive
them back INTO tho ranks OF the old
parties, etc, etc.
Gen. Anderson continued his speech
for half all hour IN about this strain, and
nt the conclusion was loudly cheered by
the delegates and his friends. At the
conclusion Of hls remarks the convention
adjourned.

for several years after its close, was ON
the corner Of Baltimore and North
streets. A few survivors yet remain,
who are still we'll dressed, but with
none of the assurance that character
lied them during the war. They gain
their living by precarious means live
on the ragged end of anxiety and re-
morse, aud day by day their pumber
lessons os they fall into the
grave, the victims of consumption,
Of violence or accident. Under
them is still lower stratum, who fig
ure daily in tho police reports. These
resort to the classic purlicus of Joseph
inc street, New Church street and sew
eral side streets in the eastern section
of the city. OF the fancy, the prize.
| fighter is the aristocrat. At the close
OF the war, Sam Collyer was the presid-
ing genius Of the fancy of Baltimore.
For him to be habitual visitor to the
saloon was to make the temporary
fortune Of its proprietor. When he
walked the streetsshe was pointed out
as great celebrity, and when he drove
out in the afternoon to take his Gus
tomary airing his presence created II
sensation on the road, and wherever he
stopped he was surrounded at once by
a crowd of followers and Hatterers all
anxious to do him honor and reverence.
TO have shaken Sam Collyer by the
hand was at once a passport to the
higher walks Of the fancy.
The champion, Collyer, was not al
unprepossessing looking man. lie ia
about five feet five inches high OF
compact built, generally fighting at ! 2s
pounds, and is courteous IN demeanor
and ahabe in daily life. Generosity
and kindness we're attributed TO him
and he was noted for the fact that he
would allow no one to be i'm
posed upon by his camp fol
lowers without interference on hii
part. He retained the position Of EN-
peror Of the Baltimore fancy for sev
eral years, until as one by one his fol
lowers left him and the flush tim,
passed away like tale that is told, h'
with that shrewd Scotch sense whicl
has never left him, looked around fo
other fields in which to achieve ney
laurels. He tried rowing, but, though
he proved first-class scullcr, Their
was not enough business in it. Ii
then started clog dancing as his pdr
suit, and many will remember hi
beautiful melodies and graceful per
formances upon the stage Of the Holi
day street theatre. Since then he LA
travelled through the land from theate
to theater each season, making an hon
orable living and conducting himsel
as he had always done here, with sobr
= ETY. and discretion. During his travel
he crossed the plains, walking thre
hundred miles Of the way. How ma
ters are changed in Baltimore
evinced by the fact Of the little intel
) est manifested in the result Of the con
ing fight with Edwards.

A FEW WORDS.
From the Mound City Journal

From the Mound City Journal
THE editor Of tho Cairo Bulletin as.
sumes to think this paper takes exceptions
to bim on personal grounds. This is not
so. Personally We have nothing against
Mr.. Oberly; on the contrary, We fiud him
II very companionsble gentleman, a man
Of good moral principles and in many re.
specu worthy Of imitation. AS n polit-
iesl editor and leader, however, we have
exceptions to take to him. AZ such his
course is so tortuous and inconsistent, that
il can be accounted for only on the ground
that inordinate ambition overrides politi-
cal principle. Sometimes IL locks much
much As though he WAS suffering himself
to be used by others, TO carry out plans
not in accord with his own convictions /;
but we will be charitable, and presume
the indifcretions are prompted by too
much ambition. A man seized with .
mania for the glory OF public positions
is Always doing indi,creet things, and his
socsntric course always tends TO defeat
the end he has in view. We would as
soon sss MT. .oberly elected to reongress
as any man in the district, provi.
dsd his principles suited, and his
record warranted the belief that he would
prove s,esdfsst in their support.
The Journal charges; That as O
political editor and leader, our course
has been inconsistent and tortuous, be-
cause We are being used by others tc
carry out plans not in accord with oul
own convictions, or because We are q
victim Of the mania for the glory OF
public position.
We deny that We have pursued q
tortuous or inconsistent path as q poll
tician, that we have ever been used by
anybody for any purpose, or that We
have any ambition to occupy any public
Office.
~ any man can point to any instance
when we have not acted with the
greatest Independence, even at the sac.
rihcs of friendship and patronage, we
will admit that we are unworthy the
confidence and respect Of Mr.. Potter OF
any other reputable citizen.
If Mr.. Potter will point to one item
Of evidence that we have ever ia our
life been a seeker after Office, We will
admit that We have been mistaken in
our desires and have been solicitous Of
