THE CITY COUNCIL REoRGANIzED last
night, under very favorable auspices.
Mr.. John p Almond was sworn in as
Mayor, and subsequently compfimented
by President Lichtenstein in an address
remarkable for its beauty and brevity'
Such Republicans who have doubted
what the GAZETTE said of Mr.. Almond
while candidate, will please read what
is said of him by the intelligent gentle
man whom they selected and honored
with their votes two years ago for Presi-
dent of the Council. We hope and be
lieve that Mr.. Almond will conduct the
affairs of his responslb bic office in such
manner as TO make President Lichten-
stein at the end OF the term, feel that he
had not been too liberal in the use of
his compliments, and the readers of
the GAZETTE, conclude that it did not err
in referring to him as "higE-to toned
christian gentleman" if he was not a
lawyer.
In the selection of L. b. Frazer, Esq,
for clerk, we think the Council has made

the ability and the experience to make a
very superior officer, while the knowl-
edge of our laws he acquired as Justice

members. Altogether the new Counci
starts out under very favorable auspices
and the members have been frequently
congratulated upon what they hav,
done The new members are all good
honest, well-intention gentlemen, and W,
shall take great pleasure IN cheering
.hem on in the good work of fretrenchin,

all unite .and that harmony and goo,

DEATH OF THE HEIR TO A LARGE ENG
LIsH PRoPERTY-AMERICA CLAIM
ANTS ENTITLED TO THIRrY-sEVEN
MILLION DOLLARS.
PHILADELPHIA Sept. 4, 1878.
The heir to an estate of $37, 800, 900 died
in this city on Sunday last, and was buried
to-day. In the year 1863 Sir Andrew
Chadwick, an English baronet, died in
London, leavinga very rich estate entailed
upon his son. After this son died the
property fell into the hands of the heir
at-law, who enjoyed it until it finally be-
came asubject of litigation and was thrown
into the Chancery courts, where possession
was contested for many years. The true
heirs became scattered and lost, and in
1874 the English courts advertised for
Thomas Chadwick, the direct descendant
of Sir Thomas Chadwick, the seventh
generation renewed. The man in ques-
ton was living in suburb of Philadel-
phia. He was then sixty seven years old
and had been in business as a miller, but
had retired on account Of his age and
feeble health. Proceedings were taken to
recover his share in the estate, aud New
Y ork lawyer was sent over in the interest
Of Mr.. Chadwick, Samuel Booth, of
Providence, K. L., and the two sons of
Samuel Chadwick, Thomas Chadwick's
brother, These were the only heirs and
all were living in this country. On Sun
day last Thomas Chadwick died suddenly
of heart disease and his two SONS Corne-
lius and Ferdinand, now succeed to his
interest in the English estate.
The property is valued at the enormous
sum Of $3I,5OO,00O, not including inter
est on some items now held in trust by
the Bank of England, The property con-
sists Of real and personal estate, mostly in
London, the most valuable being 1908
houses in the British Metropolis. Both
the New York lawyer, who is looking
after the legal interests of the heirs, and
the firm of English solicitors unite in pro-
nouncing the claims of the American
claimants as indisputable.
1t is thought by some of our citizens that
the late Radclif' Chadwick, of this city,
who was native Of England, was one Of
the heirs to this estate. His family We
believe still resides in Wilmington.

THURMAN,s GREAT SpEECH-In to-
morrow sGAZErTE we shall commence
TIE publication Of SenatorThurman's great
speech, made At Hamilton, ONO, on the
18th of August. We have never been an
admirer of Mr.. Thurman; nor do we now
publish his speech to laud ors extol him
as candidate for the Presidency. We
publish it for the information it convevs
in the most concise, plain aud single
way. BY reading it man will learn in
an hour more than he can learn in a
month from reading many of the ramb-
ling, windy, wordy, speeches that emanate
from more common minds. 1t will be
seen that what are generally termed
''Greenbackers" in this latitude know
very little of the real purpose of the
Western men whom the bankers and
Corporationists are every day laboring to
misrepresent and bring to discredit, by a
system of lies to which their papers have
been addicted since 1869. 1t was by this
same system that the great city newspa-
pers owned or paid by the bankers and
foreign British and other European
agents secured the passage of the act de.
molIetzing silver and making the U. S
bonds payable in gold only.
We hope this speech will be read b,
No., -, Z. l.,
before for the information in contains.
