Changes in the Water Board,

The Mayor has appointed S. 3. Stodd-
ard, Esq, member of the water board,
in place Of Mr. Mitchell, resigned; and
Aldermen Yates, DAILY and Mosenfelder in
place of Aldermen Butler, Carse and Davis
removed. The board is full and ready for
business.
And we hear that the Mayor intends to
produce harmony of action, as far as his
administration is concerned, if the law has
force enough to do it. In other words, he
does not intend to sanction or retain in
Office men who are doing all they can to
disorganize the government and produce
confusion. He is DESTROYS Of carrying out
the trust to which he was called by the
people, to the best interests of the people,
and he will not be deferred from doing
what he conceives to be his duty by the
threats of men who were practically re-
pudiated by the people at the last election.
