The people are just now discussing
two things, the removal Of the post
Office to more central location, and
the propriety of n system OF fixed
municipal salaries for officers, In lieu
OF the present system OF part salary
and considerable fees. Under the new
charter the Council can have II either
way, The only question to be consid-
cred Is adequate compensation for ser
vices rendered, and beyond that strict
economy.
The County Convention should be
called to meet at such an hour as VIII
be not only convenient TO the laboring
men of the city, but the delegates from
the country, who are equally inter
ested. There must not be the slightest
disposition on the part OF the city to

on exact Justice in this matter.

Gated Rev. G. Y. Wilburn, it now be-
