oURl PHILADELPHIA BUDGET.


VISIT OF DISTINGUISHED WESTERN MEN.
General Hayes, Governor elect of Ohio,
together with many prominent editors Of
Of the West and Northwest, we're the
guests of the city yesterday, and after they
had been taken over the Centennial
Grounds were given "good square meal
at the Belmont mansion.
' COMMON COUNCILS.
A resolution passed, despite the discour-
teous opposition Of ''Ned Quan" OF the
Third Ward, extending to visitors the
hospitality of the city. .a
The strong opposition manifested by
certain members, to the laying of steam
tracks on Thompson street, by the North
Pennsylvania Railroad, would seem to be
death-knell of steam engines in this city.
SOMETHING THAT sAvoRs OF BLOOD

OF course, everybody in Wilmington
knows Col. Frank Etting, for one to. say
he does not know Etting, the man who
has devoted the last three years of his
life to the collection of odds and ends, of
Revolutionary relics, would be to argue
himself unknown. II ..-5 u ,lGI'
This same gentleman constructed an ordi-
nance sometime ago, embodying provi-
sion for the appropriation by Councils, Of
one thousand dollars, to the beautifying OF
some Of his recently discovered fossils, and
to- the repairing Of the State House steeple,
SO that it would be fitting recepticle for
the bell which Henry seybcrt promises to
put there. The ordinance passed Com
mon Councils, but was defeated in the Sc
lect Branch, because the gentlemen Ct the
latter body thought that if Seybcrt was so
very anxious to present. the city with a
Centennial bell,he might just as we'll make
his gift acceptable by repairing the steep!o
himself. ',..''' ~ .''-
Now, when Col. Etting hearl of the de-
feat of his carefully prepared ordinance,
yesterday, he rushed into the Select Coun-
Gil Chamber and Squared himself for
war.
"What Go you fellers mean?' said he to
Charles Thompson Jones, one of the m:m-
bers, "by defeating my bill" .....-..'
"Who do you call you fellers? % re-
sronded Nr. Jones. ., ,-.-.,.- ,,.....,.,..
"Why, lunk heads like you!"' sisrieked
the infuriated military man. .,,r..
"Get out you old pork butcher" hissed
Mr.. Jones between his new false teeth. -
'I'm no pork butcher" remarked Col.
Etting. ,. - .'t,,
"You lie, you are" yelled Mr.. Jones,
"And," continued the latter, you're no
Colonel either, you never were in the war,
unless it was in the Revolution, and my
opinion of you is that you are nothing but
an old duAer." -.-.
"Fiend~ cried Col. Etting, "I will
make you swallow that speechv' and he
made an effort to seize Mr.. Jones by the
shirt collar. ..... .............. t..
Several members interfered, and succee-
ded in staying the murderous assault Of
Col. Fitting. But Jones was not to be
held, he danced around the chamber like
wild man, swinging his arms about with
such rapid rotary motion, that for a while
he resembled an illuminated pin-wheel.
"Let me at him Let me at him p he
shrieked with the fury of an aroused Paw
nee. "T'll cut out the Williams hearth |
The effect of this catastrophe caused
hasty adjournment, during the porcess of
which the belligerent rivals were hustled
out Of the building by opposite doors
Shortly after the above fasco, Common
Councils also adjourned, the Republican
having determined that to parti-
cipate in the great Ohio jubilee was of
more Importance than the transaction of
The city's business. ,... ...-..... .r
THE REPUBLICAN RATIFICATION. i
Twenty, thousand men, the majority Of
ice holders, and the remainder expect
ants" paraded in the Grand Republican
Procession last night; following the lead
arship Of Governor Hayes, Of Ohio, whe
ode on white horse, with black tail
attached to his (the horse's) person.
Innumerable transparencies appropri- :

he lively manner in which the ma, chers ,
