WITH respect to the Southern Agri-
cultural Colleges, it is to be observed
that these institutions in the Northern
States have been costly failures. To
this the United Suites Economist says,
there is absolutely no execution, and
the inference is that they would also
fail In the South.

Nd and thus destroyed my hopes of boating and
fishing near my dwelling Now | am afraid that If
call your attention to another favor you have
extended to us Of the Second-avc., you may with
like perverseness cause our enjoyment to cease. l
cannot. however. resist the grateful impulse to
speak in behalf of many happy families, and tell
you what JOY it causes to our households to see your
tracksweeper pass before our doors. Juggernaut is
nothing to it. We sweep our sidewalks very clean
in preparation for its coming and then station our
selves on them to receive the monsters favors
Impartally and with overflowing hberality does he
treat us, scattering his gifts over all. III some
unsympahetc soul endeayOrs to escape, II is vain
the moist, brown blessings cover every one alike.
While thanking you gentlemen, for these gratuitous
benefits permit me to ask two improvements upon
this generous system. First increase the power OF
YOUR machine Just n trihe, that our parlor WIN
dOws NAV receive some Of the holy ooze and sec
ondly request the police not to order us to remove
the sacred plaster from our sidewalks. Add these
TO your kindnesses, and my wife and will present
to your Company, as tol:ens of gratitude, all our
garments that have been ornamented through your
care. Very respectfully, yours,

men at work on the pavement. They were supplied
with fre-pots similar to those used by timers, only
much larger, in which they heated large fiat pieces
of iron, and with these soderng1rOns they went
over the broken places, melting the asphalt and
working in new material to fill up the holes. The
pavement was then covered with sand of dark
color so that in the morning the work sone at
night would not be noticed by casual observer. L

The Fire Commissioners expressed themselves

admitted that they had not read the bill very aten-

removals by the Mayor alone, 1t was their impression
that the chief magistrate Of any locality should nave

conduct OF affairs within his jurisdiction he should GER

officers There possibly weight In the argument
that the Mayor should be responsible TO higher oncer
and none fitted by his own position TO exercise
that responsibility the Governor but as the Governor
himself by customary usage and the law OF the ah
it seems reasonable that the Mayor should nave TO
account for his to power higher than hlmse
Except for these plausible objections the bill was per
fecty acceptable 1t seemed certain that good govern

Mayor, and the Commissioners, notwithstanding the
rumors that flying about unowned and unauthor-
lzed regarding their depravity and corruption, were
willing to submit their case To Mr. Wickhams decision

Another Republican official expressed his
dssatisfaction at the present law. There were two
ways in which the local government could be admins

power OF removal without assigning reason therefore

should be tried before judicial tribunal At one time
there was such o clause in our Charter; the
accused official was tried before the Court OF Common
Pleas This was proper The accused was certain OF re-
