DIR. d. i. Porter.

EDITOR LEDGER. = As a citizen
identified in common with what CON
Germs the interests of all others in our
midst, | am sorry to read Of the resig-
nation of President Porter, and trust
that, upon reflection, he will yet with
draw it. Our citizens, l think, very
generally appreciate the value of his
services in the board of commission
ers, and will regret exceedingly if he
shall adhere to his present action. If,
however, he will reflect a moment, he
must know that from the very first
mention of the vault" question, a
substantially unanimous opposition
was enthusiastically aroused against
filling them; at least until the sewer
pipes were laid. No zone person, so far
as l know, even objected to cleaning
and emptying them, but there was and
is a determined spirit of opposition
only to just now filling them. This
being the case, plainly stated, l think
there is a widespread feeling that DR..
Porter has not duly considered the
effect of his resignation. He ought
not to feel either angry or wounded if
his fellow citizens do not see every
question through his ~spectacles. This
is not natural. and the Doctor has had
experience enough to know that; ex-
c%ellent as his judgment usually is, he
is nevertheless like other good men
liable to the errors that belong to us
all. Inasmuch, therefore, as the ques-
tiOn which caused his resignation is
the only question upon which
he and the people are much
at variance and inasmuch, moreover,
as the sewers are promised within four
months, and the vaults will then be
emptied, filled and connected with
the pipes, we hope the Doctor will
see that the scheme he has so much at
heart, is not defeated, but only a little
delayed, and will consent to continue
the services which his fellow-citizens
so highly appreciate, and which have
given him so good a hold upon their
esteem. Very respectfully,
WM. r. MOORE.

The most interesting topics to-day
are the resignation of DR.. Porter, the
heavy r~ainfalls, the advance in cotton,
the grand jury repOrt,the cash on hand
in the city Golfers, the county officers
chosen by the quarterly court yester-
terday, and the muddy condition Of
the public highways.
"A futter prevails among the Off
cials about the courthouse, regarding
their bonds, which the grand jury are
of the opinion need strengthening in
almost every instance. 1t is under
stood that several officials will not be
able to give bonds to the amount asked,
and there is talk Of some resisting the
matter by law.

The unexpected and positive resig-
nation of DR.. d. Z. Porter was the
topic of conversation on every corner

juncture. 1t was determined to hold
a meeting this afternoon at 3 o'clock

situation, and we presume to endeavOr
to induce DR.. Porter to withdraw his

H LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
Its Excited Meeting Yesterday
Revocation Of the Earth Closet System
and Proposed Resignation Of
President Porter.

The position of the LEDGER,
regarding the proposed earth
closet system, was endorsed
by the legislative council at its
meeting yesterday afternoon by a large
majority. From the start great crowds
of intelligent people, including house
holders, house owners, renters and all
sorts and shades, have believed the
proposed abolition of the privy vault
system and the introduction of untried
earth closets unwise, unwarranted and
unreasonable. So the legislative coun-
Gil, when it re~considered its former
action yesterday, and practically re-
voked the ordinance in view of the
early introduction of sewers, it did a
proper thing, The measure was bare
ly carried at a former meeting. Since
then further light upon the matter
caused a decided change Of sentiment
among the officials, it having become
evident to a majority of them that the
innovation could be executed only in
part. The consideration of this sub
ject is the most important that came
up for consideration yesterday, and its
revocation caused DR.. Porter to i'm
mediately tender his resignation as
President of the legislative council.
The Doctor left for Nashville by last
nights train to present the resignation
to Governor Marks in person, and to
urge its acceptance. The action Of
the council and the proposed resigna-
ton Of DR.. Porter was the talk of the
town last night, and to-day earnest
protests have been forwarded to the
governor begging him to delay its
acceptance. At the cotton exchange,
where a meeting will be held at three
o'clock this afternoon to consider the
subject and protest against the doctors
withdrawal from public life at this
important juncture, leading merchants
earnestly discussed the matter, and it
was a more exciting topic than
the upward movement in cotton. The
vote of the council was ) to 3, those
voting aye being Messrs. 0verton,
Burke, Galloway, Gum and Brown
Those voting no were Messrs. Porter,
Goodman, and Goyer. The act %recites
that the clause requiring the owner or
occupant Of premises shall fill up with
earth or clay all privy vaults, is here
by repealed. Upon its passage DR..
Porter made a brief speech, saying he
stood pledged to carry out the meas
ure, which had been recommended by
the National Board of Health and
other scientists, and that this would
be the last time he would pre-
side ever the council. lie claims
that their action would stop santa
ton. and he could not be responsible
to the people; hence he would at once
tender his resignation, the same to be
forwarded to Governor Marks last
night. 1t would relieve him of great
responsibility and labor. The course
pursued by DR.. Porter surprised each
and every n of his coadjutors. All
appeared not to have expected such
action, though 1t was known to many
Of the Doctors friends in various parts
Of the city that in the event of the
repeal of the measure he would resign
