THE COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR.

If there was ever time in the history
of the city when there should be harmony
between the mayor and city council that
time is the present; but it is q regretable
fact, that there is very little good feeling
between Mr.. Winter and his aldermen
He seems to be possessed OF the belief
that they are perversely determined to
thwa.. him in all his designs. Last year
when he entered into conflict with his
police force and dismissed Marshal Will
liams and several policemen, he was loud
in his complaints against the action of
the council; and now, because the coun-
Gil will not agree with him III removing
Health Officer Brown, he is making The
city vocal with appeals for public SYM
pathv. lie is going about saying in eff
tcct, like blubbering school boy "Thcy
are abusing me, so they are"
We have given to the difficulty" be-
tween the mayor and the aldermen some
attention, and do not believe the COM
plants of His Honor well founded. The
charter says the mayor shall appoint GER
tain officers by and with the
advice and consent OF the coun-
Gil This provision makes the
council part of the appointing power.
The mayor should never lose sight of
this fact. Last year the council con.
iirmed all OF Mayor Winters
nomnations-that is to say, all
the nominations he wished to have con-
firned, and acccdcd to his wishes in al
most every particular. 1t is true the
council refused to confirm Harry O Brien,
the colorcd man, for Jailer; but Mayor
Winter did net wish colored man con-
frmed for that or any other position. He
had promised Harry, and got out Of his
promise by the kindness OF the council.
He then nominated Mr.. John Clancy for
jailer. The council confirmed the nom.
nation; and during the whole year per-
mitted Mr.. Clancy, in the face of the law,
to run the jail by proxy. This year
the council confirmed the Mayor
nominees, and approved all his removals
except that of Brown. This gentleman
the aldermen have concluded to retain
in compliance with what they understand
to be a popular desire growing out OF the
general belief that health officer is at
| this time a necessity. We are inclined
to belieye with the mayor that the health
officer might be dispensed with but we
have no doubt the people of the city are
Of the other opinion. Why then does
the mayor insist so stubbornly upon his
determination to remove Brown: Anger
may be the melting cause; but Mayor
Winter should get above such considera
tons in the discharge of his duties
Why can he not therefore yield Brown
to the council and the people: We pause
for reply.

 young men who immediately vacated

 by casting alternate glances at the fair one and the vacant spaces. She took
 the nearest seat with a nod to all and

WASHINGTON, November 3-Treas- ury officials state that there has been, for nearly three months past, an active demand for money at HongkOng, which has been met by shipments of silver from San Francisco, both on home and European account. The price of silver at San Francisco, dur ing this time, has ranged about the London rate Formerly silver was shipped to China by way of London. Should the Chinese demand for silver continue, importations of that metal to New York will probably be made from Europe.

A MAN in Montana short time ago squatted on another persons land and built small frame shanty. When re- quested to remove he positively refused to do so; so one night a squad of men came around, after the squat,er and his wife were asleep, and, lifting the whole concern, shanty and all, with deliberate care, carried It to the river and set it on a small raft. Then they pushed the raft out into the stream and let her go. When the squatter got up in the morning to go out he was sur prised to find himself about sixty miles down stream, and making good time in a ninc-knOt current. This is all we shall say about the man. It would be extremely improper to re- port his remarks i1 full in this paper Philadelphia Bulletin.

AN inhabitant of Fontenav sur BOiS, one of the most charming little suburbs ! of Paris has recently departed this life under circumstances which merit the attention of everybody, but more par ticularly of the scientific and medical
 world The man in question had long been a confirmed drunkard. and i'm bibed on an average, quart and a half brandy per diem. Conscious of the degradation of his beSetting vice, he kept aloof from his family, and at times, Sbut himself up in his room for days together, in order to pursue his devotion to BachuS unmolested by the reproach or remonstrance of the inf del.
 He had frequently been forced to abandon the brandy bottle by the ap- proach of dtlirIum tremens, but he was no sooner cured by the doctors than he returned tO his favorite love. Al length he was seized with an ire Sistible desire to destroy himself, which the medical sages call the " nostalgia" " of alcohols. On Easter Sunday he shut himself up again, but remaining secluded longer than usual, the neighbors broke open his door. An overpowering smell of spirits struck them on entering the room, and looking on the bed, there ray the body of a man reduced to cinders The doctors say that spontaneous combus- ton must have taken place shortly af- ter the drunkard lay down to die.

ANOTHER PAPER IN PREsCoTT.- The Wallapai Enterprise for want of mail facilities, has found itimpracu- cable to publish at Mineral Park, and has concluded to come to Prescott. The material has already arrived and is being set up in the building on Cor tez street formerly occupied by Arm strong, as paint-shop. We, of course, doubt the necessity of two papers in Prescott just at present, but the popu- lation is so rapidly increasing that they will have to come sooner or later, and perhaps it is just as well to start in now. Mitch is a good Printer and clever gentleman, and since we must have opposition, perhaps it is better for Us and the country that the ground be occupied by good man, who will make a good paper, than to wait until some one less worthy slips in. While we expect To retain our share of the work, we hope the presence of anoth- Ter paper may encourage the people to have more done, in order that we may both, at least, make a living, and, as business improves, perhaps in the not far off future, lay up something for a rainy day-Miner, November 3.

IN memorial of "The International Association for obtaining a uniform decimal system of Measures, Weights and CoinS," presented 10 Hon. Benia- min DiSrael. Chancellor of Her Ma ieSty's EXchequer, in March, 1859, it is estimated that the adoption of the Metric System would save in the man. aCcment of the London & Northwest ern railroad e10O00 ($50,OOO) a year and in the various departments of Her MaieSty:S Government not less than t5O0,0OO (S2,500000) every year. When we consider that this computation was made by competent authorities, and remember that the amount named would be saved every year by a single railroad, it is evident that the total say ing made by the adoption of the Metric weights and measures would be almost incredibly large. The same proportionate saving would be effected in every market, store, factory, count ing-room, in short everywhere, for in business life nearly every sentence spoken or written contains some ex- prcssiOn or quantity.
