The New Charter.

By reference to the proceedings of the
the council can be seen the action taken
in regard to re-incorporating the village.
We should judge from the expressions OF
the committee, not having examined the
charter, that the new charter is just what
the village needs, and We hope the bill
sent to the Legislature will be speedily
passed. Wednesday was the last day on
which bills could be introduced, and the
rule requiring one days notice before the
introduction of a bill gave rise to some fear
that perhaps the bill drawn might reach
Lansing too late, but in order to avoid
this, w. s. Humphrey telegraphed Rep
representative Macarthur, Tuesday, to give
notice of such bill, and we are pleased
to announced that on that day he gave
the requisite notice, as we see from the
Legislative Journal, which insures the
introduction of the bill, and we have no
doubt but that it will be passed.
The bill provides for the first election
of village officers under the new charter
on the second Tuesday in April, and also
provides that the present incumbents
shall continue in office until their sue
cessors are elected. After this first
election, under the charter the village
election will be held early in March.
The change of charter, should one be
made, will necessitate the election of new
officers throughout on the second Tues
day of April.

Sunday School Concert.

The concert given by the Sunday
school of the Congregational church last
Thursday evening, at the church, ex-
ceeded the most sanguine expectations
of the many friends of the school. The
church was filled to its utmost capacity.
and the members of the school entered
heartily into the performance, and all
was rendered in an excellent manner.
The little ones were the main feature
in the entertainme Mt. and surprised all
by the manner in which they rendered
the narts assigned them. and showed
that they had been carefully instructed
and trained. Too much cannot be said
in praise Of their efforts. The general
expression, so far as we have heard from
all present, was that it was the most sue
cessful concert yet given by the school,
There was 10 price of admission charged
at the door, the school depending upon
the liberality of those present, feeling
confident OF liberal response, and in
this they were not disappointed. y col
lection was taken up ut the close. and
the handsome sum of $40 10 was realized.
1t is proposed, we believe, by the school
to give another concert in about four or
five weeks. The school is greatly in
need of additional library books, the
present library not being sufficiently
large to supply all Of the scholars who
now attend, and the school is constantly
increasing, which makes the demand
more imperative, and the money raised
at these concerts it is designed to use for
this purpose. New siging books have
been ordered for the school, and the
money raised Thursday evening will be
devoted to the paying for them. 1t is eX-
pected they will be received next week.

as to avoid the objections raised by tn,
Supreme Court.
Mr.. Brown said that after thorough
examination Of the charter as provided
by the general law of 1875, he was salts
fed that it was much preferable to the
present charter, being very full and com
plete in every particular, and covering
many points in which the present char
ter was defective, and that the law had
been especially drafted with view to
cover all objections raised by the Su-
preme Court.
| Mr.. Sammons stated that under the
proposed charter the Instructions in re-
gard to the collection OF taxes were much
palmer than in the present charter.
Mr. Bell stated that if any of the MEM
bers of council wished TO ask any ques-
tions in regard to the proposed charter
the committee would be pleased to an
swer them.
Upon motion Of Trustee KeZar, the
council resolved to accept and adopt the
report of the committee, and forward
the same to Representative Macarthur
with the request that he present the bill
for re-incorporation and secure its pas
sage, il possible.
Mr.. Humphrey suggested that the Re-
corder should make a certified copy Of
the proceedings of council i'm regard to
the change of charter, commencing with
the resolution authorizing the President
to appoint committee, than giving The
names of the committee as appointed,
and concluding with the proceedings at
this meeting. the same 10 be forwarded
to Mr.. Macarthur, ut Lansing. In ac-
cordance with the suggestion, the Re
cOrder was instructed To draw up such Il
paper.
Trustee Stevenson, from the committee
Oh finance, which was instructed To in
vestigate as to the sufficiency of the bond
of Mr.. McCartee as liquor dealer, report
file with the County Clerk, and found
that it was in regular form, and was
signed by Henry Leonard and y. 3. Nc
Arthur, as sureties, and that the bond
had been approved by council and sign
ed by the Village Recorder. Upon mo-
ton the report was accepted.
A bill from Mr.. Marquette for dam
ages done to his sidewalk, on Division
street, by throwing the clay upon ir
when excavating tor the sewer, and al
lowing the same to remain on the walk
during the winter, the weight OF which
had broken the plank and otherwise
damaged the walk. Trustee McGinn
said he thought Mr.. Marquette should
claim his damages from the contractor,
as the village had nothing to do with
placing the dirt upon the walk, and he
moved that the bill be laid on the table,
which motion was adopted.
Upon motion council adjourned.

The Electoral Vote of Oregon, the last
Hope of the Democracy, the Com
mission Decide must be
counted for Hayes.

A telegram received this morning from
Mr.. Chandler, publisher of the TRIBUNE,
announces that the Electoral Commission
decided that the electoral vote of Oregon
should be counted for Hayes and Wheeler,
thus settling the question rs to who was
elected President. The decision of the
Commission was unanimous. 1t Will be re-
membered that the TRIBUNE, in obiecting
to the establishing the Commission. on
the ground that it was an demonstrations
al proceeding, and wrongin principle, eX-
pressed the opinion that it would not eff
feet the result, and that Hayes and
Wheeler would be declared elected, and
the fact that the Commission has de-
cided the disputed points in favor of the
Republican candidates does not alter our
opinion in regard to the Commission.
Our cotemporary, the Free Press, said,
''of course the NORTHERN TRIBUNE does
not like the Commission" and they were
loud in the praise of 1t until it decided
for the Republican candidates, then it
changed its tone. 1t says "Joe Bradley
makes Rutherford President" and the
editor decides that the commission have
not decided in accordance with the
law and the evidence. Of course
the editor of the Free Press,
having run for Circuit Court Judge, and
been badly defeated, knows more about
the ld1v than Chief Justice Church, of
New York, Democrat, who, over his
own signature, said: 81 have also cX-
pressed the opinion that the authentica-

final and conclusive, and that there enists
