We have had many a "bout" with
James Elder, the whilom editor of the
Jefersonian, and in that capacity he
had grabbed license to garble and
misrepresent his opponents without
stint, because that seemed to be his
natural bent. No one expected any
thing better from him, and hence were
never disappointed
From disuse. we had thought cure
had been effected; but, in consequence
of the recent very foolish vote this
same James Elder gave as Mayor, on
the motion to reduce his salary to
1000 dollars. aud the line Of defence
be sets up in order to justify that vote.
the same natural disposition crops out
that he displayed as editor Of the JEFF
fersonian so VIGOROUSLY For the
credit Of the city and dignity of the
Office. we would it we're otherwise.
We did not assert or make pre-
tense that any portion of the salary

salary was raised for Mayor We
did not say that Mayor B. had acted
in BOTH capacities, as the present
Mayor intimates we did. It was thu
understanding by the Council Of thai
day, that the benefit to the Treasur,
by abolishing the attorneys Office
would be effected in the way of assess
