The Peoples Movement.

A respectable sized and harmonious
gathering of citizens favorable to the Peo-
pies Movement was held at lower Turner
last Monday evening, the proceedings of
which we publish elsewhere. The best
of feeling prevailed, and q determination
was evinced in favor of the selection of
the best men, irrespective Of party, to fill
the various city Offices at the ensuing
charter election. To make this move
ment successful, however, there is much
to be done and the people must go to
work earnestly if they would achieve
victory. There is great danger that if
the proper efforts are not put forth, the
city will be handed over to tie same gang
of inbeciles and knaves who were hurled
from power one year ago. But we con-
slider there is too much good sense and
discernment among the people of this
city to allow such a disaster to befall u.s.

Carl SchurZ's Bereav

Mrs. SchurZ, the wife of ex-senator Carl
ScEurz, died last Wednesday afternoon, at
her husbands residence in New York. of
puerperal fever. She gave birth on the eve
ming of Sunday, the 5th inst, to boy
her fifth child. Great anxiety has been felt
ever since by the physicians as to her con-
dition For some days she seemed easier,
but on Tuesday morning the fever appeared
to reach its crisis, and since that time she
has been gradually sinking.
Mrs. Schurz was the daughter Of a we'll
known and wealthy Hamburg family. Her
marriage to the ex-senator was essentially
love match. She met him when he was
young, poor, defeated revolutionist, an ex-
lie from Prussia, and with price set upon
since the most devoted of wives and mothers
Senator ScLurz is douby afflicted by
this loss, as it is only few weeks since his
venerable father died in Illinois. Mr.
Schurz had visited him short time before,
but was compelled 10 return to New York
by his anxiety concerning the health of his
wife. When dispatches came announcing
his fathers rapid decline, he was unable to
start west again because of his wife's con-
dition, AMI was thus deprived of the mourn
full pleasure of soothing his fathers last
hours upon earth. He is now called sud-
denly to bear a second and even greater be-
reavement. Mrs. Schurz leaves two grown
daughters, son or 4 years old, and the
infant boy born ten days ago.

FINANCIAL REPORT,
I submit herewith in behalf of the fin
ance committee Of the board of street com.
missioners, a tabular statement giving the
information called for by resolution passed
at your last meeting, relative to the condi
ton of the city finances In the manner
there presented, these figures form a mass
of dry and perhaps uninteresting details to
casual observer, who will not take time to
carefully scrutinize them, and | have
thought best to call attention to some of
the Sallent points more particularly, that
they may be better understood than they
otherwise would be.
The deplorable state in which the finances
of the city were one year ago, when the
present board came into power, cannot
have been forgotten, but have embodied a
statement of the same in the exhibit spok-
en- Of for the purpose OF comparison. 1t
will be rememberel that the election one
year ago was carried upon an issue of re-
trenchment and reform, and that the can
didates then presented to yol for your suf-
frages, were pledged to faithful, economi-
cal and honest government. How well
these pledges have been kept, Will be shown
by The statements which are to follow. and
it then will be seen whether or not the
claim made at your last meeting is valid,
that there has never been amore creditable.

'REPUBLICAN THEFT AND ExTRAyA.
CANOE"

II is stated that the net ordinary eX-
fscsl year 1875, were eishiy-six millions of
doll ,rs, against eighty -one millions of dol
lars for the same class of expenses in 1860.
THESE tigures are arrived at by excluding
all the expenses consequent upon the war,
which, of course, is the only way in which
comparison between the expenses of the
two periods can be made-thst IL, the rela-
tive cost of the government under demo-
cratic and republican administrations.
Taking into the account the population at
these dates, 1t appears that, under demo-
cratic rule, the expenses were two dollars
and sixty Lone cents per capita and under
republican rule, two dollars and five cents
per capita.
Commenting on these figures, assuming
their correctness, and admitting the fair
ness of the comparison, democratic ex-
change asks why it should cost five mil
lions Of olars more In 1875 than 10 1850
ana says that there sis no sort of reason
for it except republican theft and extray-
agance." 1t may be, and probably is,
