The ABANDONMENT by the Corporation Coun-
sci of the case of the Fire Commissioners against
iircmcn who had sold their pay claims to brokers
will have the effect of rcinstating u number of
men who have been discharged for this nominal
offence and will also convince the Commits

meddle with the private affairs of others.

In ANSWER TO A NUMBER of correspondents
who complain of the manner in which the City
Hall flags are mismanaged would say that
heretofore no one person has had the city's bunt-

The voice OF the zephyr Is lost In the blast.
Everything beautiful, darling, must die,
And that which increases will surely decrease
The sturdy old oak a, a dustheap will lie,

ADMIRAL RAPHAEL SEMMES.

In our last issue we noticed
briefly the. death of him whose
name heads this article, and we
feel that we would not be true
to ourself and the rememb brace
we have of the times that brought
out into strong relief the noble
qualities Of such men as the
brave Admiral-who, when liv-
ign, knew no fear-did we not
give him more than a passing
notice, and every true man Of
the South will cherish his mem
DRY for his efforts to secure the
independence of the little Con-
federacy that struggled so long
against such fearful odds. Per
haps no single man in our eff
forts to free ourselves from what
we considered an unequal part
nership, inflicted as much dam
age on the Federal cause, as Ad-
miral Semmes. The brave lead
ers of our land forces done all
that men could do with the
means at their command, but
when our mind goes back to the
early days of our struggle, and
contemplate the damage inflict
ed on the Federal commerce by
the brave Admiral, with his lit
tie navy, we can scarcely realize
that it was possible for one man
to do SO much injury to the enc
my, with the limited means at
MS command.
1t is not our purpose to partic-
ularize any of his achievements
that would have done credit to
any of the great naval heroes
whose names have passed into
history-but simply to pay our
small tribute to the memory of a
brave and chivalrous man and
Jealous patriot, and we feel sat
isfed that when an impartial
history shall be written of our
recent struggle, his name will be
found side by side, with the
bravest of the brave. He has a
monument in the hearts of his
countrymen, but his memory
should be perpetuated in marble.

Mr.. Key seems to relish humble
pie Boston Post.
Political place has sunk low
enough In this country without
the additional disgrace that fol
lows the elevation a hypocrite
and traitor to position. No man
raised south of Mason and Dix
on's line, and who fought honest
ly for the lost cause, can say he
believes he was wrong, that his
cause was not just, or that the
men with whom he stood shout
der to shoulder in the hour of
danger and death were traitors.
The very fact that he can make
such an admission will stamp
him as utterly unworthy Of trust
and confidence. Like men we
fought and suffered for the
Southern cause; like men we
bore whatever it brought, and
when the end, the bitter end
came, we laid down our arms,
ONLY REGRETTING that we could
no longer maintain the unequal
contest; but when we laid aside
our weapons we promised to
abide by the result.
Oppressed and domineered
over by our former slaves; rob-
bed by thieves and adventurers,
with no power to help ourselves,
the Southerners can point proud
ly to the past and challenge the
world to exhibit another such
example of fidelity to a pledge.
Better never have a represen-
tative in the National Govern
ment, than take position on
such terms as those adopted by
Mr.. Key.
In his recantations before
Northern audiences, Mr.. Key
