The President replied that he remember
ed that the Inspector had been told to DO
present at 2 o'clock but when he came,
the Committees Members had been there
already. AS regards the assertion Of the
amounts for building repairs being always
expended 20 a cent, he did think there
would be found some less expenses also
there but be would cause the matter to
be investigated.-The Committee had
again this year proposed that the amount
for covering excuses of expenditure and
casual repairs should be voted with 5000,
instead OF $500 as submitted by the Pre-
sidency. That proposal led to q very
animated discussion. It was shown by
the President and the Chairman, that it
was requisite to have the higher sum, as
past experience had proved that the
actual expense every year reaches even
more than that amount, and as it is neCes-
sary to have an item to meet uDfore-
seen repairs, without the Admins
tration being under the necessity
TO wait for a grant whenever any
Urgent repairs are to be made to public
buildings. The COMMITTEE was willing to
withdraw its proposal for 5000, and to
recommend the $500, on condition that
this amount be not exceeded to this
condition the President would not accede
and the Committee took up its proposal
again for the $500. In the course of the
ensuing discussions, the President spoke
of the eventual necessity Of recurring
to the 62nd : of the Colonial Law, provid.
ing the measure to be used Ia case the
Council refuses necessary expenses for
public use this called forth an emphatic
protest on the part Of the Chairman he
urged that the paragraph could not
be applied to this case, and on
the whole, it was o measure which the
Administration ought only to use in
very extreme cases; it was no play
thing 10 be- lightly used. The President
said be had not thought Of making use Of
the s in this instance, but merely alluded
to the existence thereof, in the event Of
the Administration being refused the sums
it considered necessary.-Tho Chairman
urged that the application fthat : should
not even be used 0s an empty threat. The
President withdrew his objection to the
condition, whereupon the Committee
withdrew its proposal /; the $500 were
then granted. The Committees amend
ments were not withdrawn, but adop-
ted almost unanimously, and the total
Bill also adopted. The other Money-Bils
were put 8ovorally to the vote, and all
adopted.
The necessary RectiGcotions were then
made in accordance with the adopted Bills
and with the proposals from the Presi-
dency and the Budget for 1876-77 as
rectifed, showed q Total Revenue Of
$l47,410, and on Expenditure of $175,1 09,

willard Davis.

No nomination made by the
late Republican State convention
gives us such genuine pleasure as
the nomination for Attorney Gen
eral of this State of the gentle
man whose name heads this arti-
Gle. + bout the first vote we ever
cast was for Willard Davis.
He was candidate for a promi-
nent judicial position. The color
ed people had recently been cloth
ed with suffrage, and the Repub-
lican majority was clear. The
vote was viUe Voce. And the only
way his opponents could hope to
defeat him was by retarding the
voting in Republican precincts,
till by the law the polls would
close and leave hundreds of votes
uncast. It was done.
All! how wildly dc we remem-
Der those vigilant Democratic po-
licemen! With what consummate
skill they lifted their own partl-
zans into the side window, while
half acre of Republicans were
thropging the main entrance all
day long patiently waiting adj
mittance, but gained it n OF.
How distinctly we recollect the
silly questions put to the voters,
that time might be consumed and
voting prevented, in Republican
precincts, while good Democrats
were voting early and often in
other parts of the city and county.
Willard Davis was defeated.
1t is time for congratulations.
We congratulate Mr.. Davis that
in this canvass all legal voters
who desire to vote for him will be
permitted to do SO.
We congratulate Kansas, Re
publican Kansas, glorious Kan
sas, that no such farce, misnam-
ed election, will disgrace her an
nails next November, as was enac-
ted in Kentucky ct the time of
which we speak.
We congratulate Mr.. Davis op-
poncnt, whoever he may be, that
he cannot attribute his defeat,
when that certainty IS accomplish
ed, to the fact that his friends
were not permitted to vote for him.
And we congratulate Mr.. Davis,
again, that we shall not be COM
PEELED to write of him a second
time-"Willard Davis was defeat

Mr.. Davis is at present County
Attorney Of Labette. We pre-
dict for him distinguished success
