At the citizens meeting, held at
the Court House on Wednesday
evening last, the lawyers seemed
to be held at a discount by a por-
ton of the meeting. One moved
that O committee of three lawyers
be appointed by the chair to draw
up an ordinance to present to the
Council making certain Offices,
which are now appointed by our
City Dads, to be in the future elect
ed by the people. Another moved
to amend by appointing three citi-
zens and taxpayers instead of law
wears. A wag who was present
said: "What are these lawyers,
anyhow? Are they human or dc
they belong to some other species
of animals. | wish l had hall
dozen of them before me so as to
have square look at them. Per-
haps the mover OF the motion be-
fore the house will show the differ
ence between the lawyers and the
citizens ana taxpayers.
