from a Bonapartist deputy, who asked

Inb lACcuhe AhbEORhO'
The Second Branch Of Council having
chosen to put itself in the position Of an
ob,truClioniBt to the taking out OF license
by the saloon keepers Of the city at the
regular time, should bO prepared to as.
ume whatever responsibility attaches to
their gratuitous position. Those Of the
saloon men who are impatiently waiting
10 receive permission to go on as hereto
fore with their business should distinctly
understand that it is the Second Branch
that stands in their way, That body has
chosen to assume an unsolicited cham.
pionship oil their interests. No petition
hll been sent into Council for reduction
Of the license paid for the last three years.
The First Branch have been ready to
grant license on the same basia as
heretofore, but the Second Branch, in
spite Of the pressing necessities Of
the city for revenue, have chosen
to step in aud try to beat down
the old price. Itappears also that some
Of the members are putting on an air OF
injured innocence in the matter, on the
ground that they are being dictated to by
the First Branch. Dr. Logan placed the
boot on the other leg last night by re.
marking very properly that if any body
was assuming the role Of dictator it was
the Second Branch, inasmuch M nobody
hld asked it to do what it wa. attempt.
Ing to do. The First Branch was simply
continuing ON in the line oil precedent'
standing ready to vote for license on the
bl.is heretofore granted. In addition to
this pointby DR.. Logan, Mortimer Pol.
lock made telling point to the effect that
despite all the talk in the Second Branch
about the inability OF the saloon men to
pay the license heretofore charged, the
number Of saloons had steadily increased
and was now decidedly larger than when
the present rate was fixed three years ago
We refer to the proceedings last might
in order that those who are anxious tC
reopen their places Of business may SEE
who it is that is standing in their way
They should saddle the responsibility OF
tue Second Branch where it belongs. The
First Branch have been ready all along
to grant license on the usual terms
Those Of the saloon men who have beer
arrested for selling on Monday
without license, and who will be
forced to litigate their cases al
considerable expense, can appreciate
the fact that between what they will lose
in that way, and what they will lose in
addition by having their places OF bust
nest closed for nobody knows how long
will much more than overbaIauce any
possible reduction in the rate OF license
Every day during which they are thus
shut up is just 20 much loss to be charged
to the position assumed by the Second
Branch.

We observe by the Pittsburgh papers Of
Yesterday that Sewing Machines are now
being pressed on the market, as it were,
in that city at one.hSli the old price.
We presume the price is correSpondingly
reduced at the various agencies in this
city Ii not II soon will be. At all
events, no one who wants a machine
need now pay the former exhorbitant
price, In short time they will be as
cheap and available to every family in
the land as cooking stoves. The time
VAS, twenty-five years ago, when cooking
stoves were luXurieS, to be indulged in
only by the well to do. Now there is no
IamiIy so poor as to do without one OF
these necessities. So it will be with sew.
ing machines. They will soon be made
ny numerous manufacturers and sold at
$40 $50 and $50 piece, according to fin.
''h' This will be great boon to the
poor, Poor families need these time
saving and labor saving articles even
more 'hanthe rich. The common sewing
OF the poor is great tax upon The fe.
males, and keeps them, when il i, done
by hand, from earning money to procure
other necessities.
