The cid country shows in the exhibition

In the council proceedings of Mon
evening we find the fnllowipo.


In the council proceedings of Monday
evening we find the following:
'On motion Of Alderman Woods the mayor was
repair"
That's good joke on the idiotic idea of
covering the broken rock on that road with
saw dust. Anybody with the sense of an owl
ought to have known that it is utterly i'm
possible to make broken rock pack when
mixed with saw dust When the road is
dry the pieces of rock are brought to the
top and rounded off by horses feet and
wheels of vehicles; and when it is wet
the whole becomes an almost impossible
mass OF mud and rock, with bad ruts.
The whole work on that piece of road was
worse thon thrown away, because a good
road can never be made there without cart
ing the saw dust and rock all away and Gov
ering the road with new coat of pounded
rock. IF the rock had been broken fine
and nothing at all placed on it there would
have been good hard smooth road there
long ago. If good coarse gravel cannot
be procured, break the rock fine and leave
the travel to packlt solid. The shameful
incompetence of some of the men who
waste the peoples money 10 such stupid
experiments as that saw dust covered road
ought to warn the people against eyer
trusting them with another public posi-
ton. Nobody can be found willing to ad-
NIT having recommended or ordered the
stupid work to be done.

the former having been two or three
times carried by the Democrats, bat as a

to have the best prospects for success in
the approaching election, while Connecti-
cut more often wavered from the Repub-
lican line and is at present so pr onounced

Republican success in April. Rhode
Island is 10 assuredly Republican that the
nomination Of Democratic ticket is a
mere matter of form, and even that is
sometimes dispensed with. Time has been
from 1854 till 1s72-when the results
of the March and April elections in New
Hampshire and Connecticut had great sig
ni6cance attached to them as furnishing
the earliest indications Of popular senti-
ment, and showing what changes, if any
were taking place in public opinion the
canvass then was animated and vigorous
the strength of each party was brough
out, and the returnss were waited for will
anxious interest throughout the country
This was especially the case in the sprinI
of186O when the Democrats made thei
last grand effort to break the line of Re
publican States, and the issue Of disunio1
was understood to be contingent on tn
result. In both States the struggle tina
year was desperate and the canvas
more exciting than any before or since
This year the case is entirely different I
neither State does the campaign premi'
to be exciting or lively.

serve to give Hayes more prominence as

especially at the East, where, hitherto, the
press has almost entirely ignored him.
We may, without being accused of favorit-
ism, say that what Senator Sherman says

be true by people who are acquainted with
him. He is a pure man, popular, and we'll
