THE GAZETTE says we are hard to
please;that the Democratic city council
has given us a new basin and plenty
of ofwater, new city officers, city hall
yard sodded and flowers planted; alarm
telegraph erected, and still we are not
satisfied. We suppose we are about as
nearly satisfied and probably great
deal more so than the Gazette is with
the REPUBLICAN Council of Philadel-
phia which it denounces as corrupt to
the very core and yet that Council has
raised taxes, and all the improve
ments that have been made in the last
twenty years were made by the Repub-
lican party. However We will not be sc
severe with the Democratic party as
the Gazette has been with the Republi.
can Council of Philadelphia.

IT Is CREDITABLE to Doctors Ogle

test to the disagreeable duty imposed
upon them by the Coroner's inquest in
the case of finding out the causes Of
Clara Smiths death. 1t is no very agree,
able job to exhume a corpse supposed
to have died of smallpox, but these
gentlemen hesitated not to perform
their duty, and for doing so the public
will the more appreciate them as public

After recess the counsel for the defense

further defense to urge, and they replied
In the negative. The court retired iol

Twenty.four questions, formulated for de-
termination concerning the prisoners
were then read. The court again retired
to consider the verdict. After three hours

The frat portion Of the Land bill, he
said, was full OF doubtful points and pit

duty OF the Irish members to improve the
bill as far as possible on It's passage

The second portion OF the bill was by
