THE REpIsTalcr1Na or THE CITY.

Tho ordinance which was passed at tho last
Meeting Of the Common Council, redistrics-
ing the city by consolidating the Nineteenth
and Twentieth Wards and tho First aud Soc
ond Wards, thus making two wards less, md
giving the West Sido IN equal number Of
representatives with the North and South
Sides, is undoubtedly tho best solution of
this voxod problem that oan bo mado for the
present. 1t is only forr ycars to the next
national Census, and until that timc the ar-
rangement tB as practical aa any that can DO
male, It does not disturb tho Legislative or
Congressional distsists, nor dislocato the PROF.
ent voting precincts 1t Ia pretty fair d.
vision Of tho population rs represented In the
Common Council by voters, the goters in tho
| North mud South Dlvisio2a being fully as
many as in tho West Division, while tho ta1-
able property Of the former Ia mitch larger.
| In 1850, the Fedora! census will be taken,
and then tho city cau bo redlstrjotoa on the
basis OF numbers, including children a1ld

co51MENpABLE RETRENCHMENT.


mopdation for tho manner in which 1t Inns |
cut down tho estimates Of Departments, cs-
nccially the School, Fire, and Police. As will |
bu soon by the report of proceedings printed
yesterday, tho Department estimates that
heyo been revised for the ne1t nine months,
of Sa,457,s79 reduced by tho Comptroller to
81, ,9f8, 200, have been still further cut down
by tho Council to S1,7i5, $50, being 500, ,GG9
less than tho Comptroller recommended, and
S71o,34S less than tho Departments rather
irnpudeutly demanded. Tho demands OF tho
Departments were simply outrageous, antl
represented tho maximum Of tax-enting.
iupudence, and rapacity. They wero
mudo without regard to tho ability
| Of tho taxpayers to pay this amount
without my caro- for tho financial condition
| OF tho city, md without any expectation that
| the city would furnish tho money asked for.
The demand, therefore, WINS gratuitously i'm
pudont, aud tho Council Inns not applied tho
knife any too vigorously, deeply, or severely.
| 1t has only reduced tho estimates to ho8tand-
ard that Chicago can furnish at present
There may possibly bo some s1uirming over
tic rofusal of the Council to give the Fire
Marshal oil tho money he wantod to waste or
st,uanarr, ard 1t may be commented upon ny
inyidious critics sabroad, but tho usefulness
or efficiency Of the Firo Department has not
bccn intorferel with in any respect, The
Council Inns not taken anything away
that it has had, hut has simply declined to
furnish it with multitude Of new appliances
and things which arc not essential, for tho
present at least. Tho Fire Marshal was rs
importnnate aB OLIVER TWIST. Ho wanted
moro engines, moro horses, moro men, moro

'.f IAURENs,---It seems that Hnmpy
Henderson, Jury Commissioner, has
in "ashes and 'umility," confessed to
tho Judge of tho 7th judicial District
that he was ''fooled" by Lark and
Robertson, and that they ''put up the
job
The tumble Uriah puts tho blame
on Lark and Robertson. We would
have had little less contempt for
the fellow if he had dono it himself.
This Lark is alsp dn .appointee of
Governor Chamberlain. We do not
like to nsk too many favors at one
time: but we are strained to intercede
in boaalf OF Lark; and pray the Gov>
ernor not to decline to accept his ros
signation. We also beseech tho Gov
ernor TO relieve The gentle Henderso n
before the next term of the Court
Greenvillo News.
We can say amen with hoarty
good will to this sentiment. But we
differ with our cotemporary in asking
tho removal of lark and Henderson
on tho ground of nero favor. Thoir
removal is necessity for Laurens,
and duty dovolving upon an Execu>
tive, who is pledgod to do so by his
reform promises. And wo have no
doubt that the Governor will look af
ter and search into tho merits of both
these worthios.

another question; in fact, IL appears
from the action of tho House to day
in passing tho appropriation bill to
third reading without any material
reduction, that his suggestions have
fallen upon deaf ears.
The Cavondor case has caused a
little stir amongst "the boys" Ho is

undcr the provisions Of tho "Big Bo-
uanza Bill" The "Litte Bonanza"
requires that all claims coming undor
its provisions shall DO audited by tho
Comptroller General, and for this
work Mr.. Cavender was employed by
that officer. Mr.. Berry and Mr. Sym,
mcrs, OF this place both held claims
coming under its provisions, and in
having them audited, they Charge that
Cavcndcr endeavored to black-mail
them, by charging twenty per cent of
thoir claims Tor his services in lobbying
them through the Legislature. Upon
this information reaching the Govern
or, he made an investigation of the
charges, and finding them substanti-
atcd, he has removed Mr.. Cavender
from both Of the aforesaid positions.
Mr.. Q. stoutly asserts his innocence,
but fails to make it clear He is a
pet amongst "thc boys" and they fell
somewhat disconnected at his sudden
fall.
The question CT adjournment seems
to be exercising tho minds Of tho Re,
publican members at this time. The
resolution of the would-be Judge
Whippcr, that the General Assembly
take n recess on tho 10th of February
next, subject to tho call OF the pre-
siding officers of the two Houses,
when one third of tho members have
signifcd their desire to be called to-

but is liable to be takon up at any
time and passed.. Mr.. Crittendon has
introduced q concurrent resolution to
