A Clear Point.

The point made by Mayor Davenport in
his communication, that any ordinance or
part of an ordinance in conflict with our
city charter. or with law Of this state, is
SO clear and plain that everybody can I'M
derstand it. The ordinance establishing
water board comes in direct conflict with
the charter in relation to the time at which
the term Of these officers shall expire, and
therefore they are out of Office the moment
the Mayor appoints their successors. Hi
communication will be read with attention
by all our people.

and concluded to have a good time. To

cred the gait of the steeds altogether toe
fast to be sanctioned by our citizens and
attempted to arrest him. To this proce
dure Otto objected and hit the marsha
with his whip. The captain did not relish
this treatment and reciprocated with few

Congress assemblies next Monday. For
the first time in sixteen years the demo.
Gratis have a majority in the House, hay
ing been elected mostly last year all
the other departments are republican.
The republican majority in the Senate is
IL, the democratic majority in the House
is GA, standing ITS democrats to 10S re-
publicans and six independents. 1t is
notable that majority of the democrats
are Southerners, and that the South thus
resumes its old control of the democrat
ic party in Congress.
The contest for Speaker is now going
on among the democrats, and is appar-
antly between the friends of Randall OF
Pa. and Kerr of Indiana The latter
favors genuine money and his election
would be received with the most favor
by the country. Randall has been mixed
up with initiation and rag money though
the recent elections have had their effect
on him and he is trying to make it APP
pear that he is not..an infationist. The
southern wing of the party are generally
for initiation. The democrats in Con-
gress it is understood will manage al.
most entirely with reference to the pres.
idential election for next year, and find
no small amount of difficulty in recon
Cling their differences on rag money.
The republicans will probably support
Hon james G. Blaine for Speaker, and
the hard money democrats could not dc
better for the country than to turn in and
elect him, but of course they will not
the "spoils " being a temptation to which
