Though the attempts to disguise or conceal
it were never so great, the fact still remalus
pateut that the Cincinnati nominations don
fill the measure Of radical hopes and cxpecta-
lions; aud Notwithstanding tbereiterated asser
tions that the ticket is safe one, and that It
reconciIes all the elements Of radicalsm, the
lack of enthusiasm everywhere apparent among
both leaders and followers 10 the radical ranks
is the best possible evidence that could be at
forded that these declarations are made TOR the
sole purpose of inspiring hope 10 cause that
was doomed in 1874, and that has been siokl0g
ever since; and the slight symptoms OF revival
that are occasionally manifested upon the wav
ipg of the bloody shirt AID the barking of the
hyenas only show that the complete dissolution
of the party is postponed until next November.
Another evidence of the rapid decadence Of
corrupt radicalism is the attraction it possesses

CITY COUNCIL.

The last Semi III ju!hly meeting of the City
Councl! was held last night.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
Most of the business 10 this Board was trans
acted without debate.
Dr. JohusoD called attention to the lupor.
lance OF the section Of the Revenue bill taxing
dogs. II said that the people were comp lain
ing of the increase Of the tax, and were moving
their dogs out vf town for time. Ii the object
of tie section was 70 get revenue the tax must
be put back to the old amour.
MIR. Mckenzie said the Auditor had already
been issuing licens and if he law We're changed
people would complain. Ii people took their
dogs out Of town for time, they WI d have
to pay when they brought them back. He
thought that the revenue would be increased
at any rate, 1t was worth trying Tor year. He
noticed also that according TO the Auditor ;
books there we're 20 female dogs 10 the city.
Dr.. Johnsoo thought that the revenue would
be deceased, but still was willing to try the
experiment.
The matter was then dropped and the Board
took recess.
The Salary bill being returned from the Com
mon Council, they having substituted the Salary
bill Of last year,
Dr.. Juhnsnn said that the other Board we're
determined to fix the salaries as ln the old bill,
aud We might as well CONCUR; as, if this bill was
not passed, the old bill would be 10 force any
how.
Mr. Mckenzie said that the whole difficulty
originally had been about the salary OF the
Health Officer, ADD DOW the other Board had
been manipulated by officers 10 have their salar
les increased, which same thng bad been duue
several years, and was outrageous. Officers had
20 business to interfere 10 this matter. He
moved to lay the bill on the table.
Dr. Jyhos1n reiterated that the old bill would
remain 10 force anyhow.
Mr. Mckenzie compared the salaries of off
GERS 10 the oideD timc with those of the pres.
eut. He did not care so much about the sala-
ries, but he objected to officers interfering in
The matter of salaries as had been done, al
though he did not know whether tie clerk of
this Board had done So.
Dr.. Johuson said the clerks of these Boards
had 40 interest certainly 10 working against
these salaries, as they had been defeated be-
fore the people:
