COUNTRY CHILDREN ATTENDING CRY SCHOOLS.
"A memorial was presented in the first branch
of the city council of Baltimore on Wednesday
afternoon, from John Merryman, of Hay6elds,
Baltimore county, asking for the modification
of the ordinance prohibiting children from the
country attending the public schools of the city
without the payment Of additional tuition fees.
Mr.. Merryman represents that he is a large
tax payer in Baltimore city, having paid the
city collector for 1875 S750.52 and the water
register $57. In consideration of this fact, and
believing there are many other nonresident
taxpayers who are similarly situated, he asks
that the ordinance in question be modified so
as to place nonresident taxpayers upon the
same footing as those residing in the city. The
memorial was referred.

Municipal MUSES..

In Peoria Mayor Robinson, (Republican)
is attempting to enforce the mayors law
and Democratic council is obstructing
him in the effort. He is in row with the
appointed city officers, and a telegram says
he has removed the city clerk and there is
great excitement there The Democrat
charges the mayor with gross partiality
and tyranny in presiding over the meetings.
In Springfield, ILL.,, Mayor Hay, Demo
crat, has addressed message to the city
council announcing that in future the only
policy the city can pursue, in view of the
injunction which Is in force, is to pay as
you CO." No debt can be incurred, and he
urges the most rigid economy in every de-
partment, and simply such expenditures
as will protect the city property from
deterioration. The debt now existing is
so large that it will be years before any
further improvements can be made.
We call upon our new city council to
take measures to ascertain what is the
amount of our debt. Give us list of our
creditors and the amount due to each. 1t
is the right of the people to know their
own affairs.
A new system of book keeping is also
wanted, by which all money raised for a
specified purpose will be credited to that
account as received on taxes, and all money
expended be charged to the proper account
system to show how each department Of
the city stands. Money raised for one
purpose can not legally be diverted from
that purpose and used for any othel
purpose-yet this has been constantly
done, for years. Each year the council
levies the full amount of taxes allowed b!
law, under the various specified heads, ant
then uses the money as it pleases. Some
times the taxes are little higher ant
sometimes little lower, In the aggregate
depending on the assessment of property
i Under DIR. Galt's administration. 500
were raised for the commencement of
city hall fund, but the money has bee
used by the present council for othe
purposes. This was illegal and wrong
and it is only one instance among man
similar ones.
The people want new set of books an
competent man to keep them,-a set 9
books which will at any moment show th
appropriations and expenditures for eac
department, and no expenditure should
made without an appropriation for that pu
pose; mo money appropriated for one purpos
should be used for any other purpose, an
. no debt of any sort created while our del
exceeds the lawful limit.

A Supervisors idea of Lowering Him
self

On Monday the board of supervisors
met, and the chairman, Supervisor Gren-
ell, being absent, Supervisor E. P. Feas-
ter, of Canoe Creek, was appointed chair
man pro tenn. Supervisor Dart made a
verbal report in regard to the swindle per-
petrated on the county by his employing
his political friends, the Flemings, to put
in the sewer from the Jail to the river.
Supervisor Dart remarked that The ARGUS
had said good deal about the matter and
a good deal that was true-that the ras-
cally contractors, as he termed them, had
deceived him. &c, &C.. in fact Supervisor
Dart practically admitted that he himself
wasunft for the position he held, but he said
he thought he wouldn't take any notice Of
the statements of The ARGUS, but would
report the facts to the hoard, etc., etc
Thereupon Supervisor E. Pomposity
Feaster, in the chair, said: 20. you done
perfectly right, Sir-it was not necessary
for you to loaoer yourself by taking any
notice of what newspaper saysP
Now, the question is this: When pub
