Mayor HARRISON in reported as having
said, after le learned TINT tho Council lad

This was equivalent to IN admission TINT ho
ind thoroughly felt Of the public sentiment
mud canvassed tho diloront Aldermen, and
that he Ind reachcd The conclusion ho could
not bo supported in tho position ho had
taken. Mr. HARRISON, as Mayor Of Chicago,
ia not au a11tocraL nor Gar, but nnorcly
representative Of tho people in an executive
position, aud subjected by law, uudor certain
conditions, to tho restraint of tho Common
Council. a proper Interpretation Of tho
principles of popular government will re-
quiro Ut tho Mayor hearty acquicscenco In
the yortliot, which inns boen rendered in ro-
sponso to public opinion and according to
the forms Of law; acting In this spirit, he
should retain Mr.. BrsnEn at ths bond Of tho
Fire Department until tho Inter shall fur
nish sufficient cause for dismissal.
Tho spirit Of tho Council waa fnir md
conservative. No disposition was manifested
to foment dissonsion. A majority of that
body, in fact, are hfr. HAnn1soN's partisan
friends and RsBociatoa. Tho Council nj.
jo1,rned ono mooting in tho hopo that tic
Mayor would not forco tito issue, but restore
Mr.. DEsaH1t, and thua ayert tho nocessi.y Of
disappearing his action. As llo refuHod to
accodo to tho popular demand, tho case was
carefully reviewed, and more than two.thirds
Of MI the Aldermen, mud twenty.eight out OF
tho tllirty-four members present, voted that
tho Mayor lsel been wrong. Under the law

The Mayor cannot remove him agaiu
for tho same alleged cnuse, which
tho Council bus presumed to bo

The following paragraph originaiiy "P'
peared in the Brandon Record:
II isn't to be called log-rolling, you know,
Init then the Clarion editor Is to go to the
II, g Senate, and HE COMET is to get the
public printing Nothing like unity OF
purpose; no, nothing
We should have probably not felt called
upon to notice the insinuations contained
in this paragraph if it's publication hao
been confined to the paper originating IT,
But, observing Its reproduction in some
other Journals silence on our part migh'
encourage the inference that 1t had so'he
foundation TO rest on. We have not the
SLIGHTEST conception as to the source lfoLn
which the astute Editor of the Record drew
his inspiration--it must be pure lnspira-
ton of his-for we have never intlmatea 10
a living soul that The COMET expected OF
wished to contest for the State printing
CERTAINLY its hopes of success ware not
based on any such doubtful contingency
and its establishment was not influenced III
the slightest degree BY any expectation OF
| design of this sort. 1t has striven for sue
cess in field open to all, and thus far 1t
has cause for congratulation. Its reception
nv the public has been more favorable than
was anticipated.
In the contest for United States Senator,
The COMET has not presumed to advise the
people, or to champion The cause OF any
particular individual. 1t recognizes all
the prominent candidates as valued person
al and political friends, and will be satisfied
with the success Of either. There are
MANY reasons why we should be active sup
porters OF either Singleton, Walthail, OF
| Barksdale There are no reasons why We
should oppose either ono OF them oui
feelings and our judgment sanction neu'
trail course,
As for anything like such collision as
the Record very wisely hints at it is an alb
surdity, and has absolutely no basis what
ever. If such collision has any existence
it must be in the imaginations of sharp
scented editors. Not a word, not a suggee
ton, has ever proceeded from either sid
of the parties concerned or any Of thei
friends, and we are quite positive that tn
propoaition would not be entertained oil
this side of the house, and almost equall'
| certain that the other side would reject 1t
There is-there can be-no COLLISION here.

oUADRIENNIAL ASSESSMENT OF
REALTY.

Under the statute the lands In the state OF
mississippi arc assessed every four years.
This year there Is general assessment OF
realty. The work has been completed but
all tho reports from assessors are not yet
received at the office OF the Auditor OF
Public Accounts. Enough, however, has
been received to warrant the supposi>
ton that the valuation will fall ton
Ger cent. below the valuation of 1875,
and consequently the State levy will piob>
ably be four mills on the dollar instead OF
Of three and o half mills as provided by
the last Legislature in the event the vaiua-
ton come within ten per cent OF the valua-
ton Of 1878. This valuation may be alter>
ed BY the Boards Of Supervisors in some OF
tho counties, aud the rate of taxation cans
not be fixed until the Boards pass upon the
Assessors reports,
