CORPORATION MATTERS.

Two weeks ago wepublished card
of Rev. j. A. Hoffheins on corpora
ton matters, to which we have not
since had time to refer. In justice
to Mr.. Hoffheins it is proper to state
that his card should have appeared
Immediately under, and as an expla-
nation of his signature to our card of
justification. Also in our editorial
notice we said ''any knowledge"
when we should have said any per-
sondI knowledge; in the same arti-
Gle we quoted the word "rottenness"
as having appeared in Mr.. Hoffheins'
card, which we afterwards learned
did not so appear.
This much in explanation of any
| intentional misrepresentation of that
gentleman.
Mr.. Hoffheins is not at all salts
fed with the management of corpo-
ration affairs indeed, he is much
annoyed by what he is pleased to
term its Encouragement, His great
est cause of complaint seems to be
"that hogs and cattle do run at large;
that drunkenness and corner loafing
in freely INDUCED in, and that be-
cause of it he has been annoyed by
profane and indecent language that
both by day and by night, while in
his bed, he has been annoyed and
disturbed by the carousals and brawls
of drunken men; that because of
bad pavements he has suffered hurt
TO MS BODY ana Qamage 10 ms cioUh-
ing; that certain merchants have
blocked the pavements with boxes
and other distractions to his very
serious inconvenience, &C., &C."
We are truly sorry that Mr.. Hoff-
helms has been so much annoyed,
subjected to many inconvenience,
and suffered injury to his body and
hi, clothing. We think he ought to
have made complaint at the Mayors
office, or to an officer of the corpora
ton, and had the parties arrested
whom he says used indecent and
profane language in his presence; he
ought to have complained and re-
| ported the drunken men who dis
turbed his sleep; he ought to have
reported the merchants who obstruct-
ed his way with boxes, &C.; he ought
to have reported to the Council, or
through the Mayor or police to the
Council, those persons whose pave
ments are in such bad condition that
in passing over them he suffered
hurt to his body and damage to his
clothing. But he did not do this.
He chose rather to make his COM
plants through the newspapers, and
fasten, if possible, the responsibility
for his annoyances and hurts on the
Mayor or some officer of the corpo-
ration. Does Mr.. Hoffheins suppose
that it is any more the Mayors duty
than own his to sit up of nights and
watch for the drunken men who dis
turb his slumbers ? Does he imag-
inc that it is any more the duty of
the Mayor than his own, to hunt up
COWS and drive them into the pound?
1t is the duty of the police officer to
look up and take cognizance of such
violations of the ordinances but as
we have population of 1000, and
the limits of the corporation extend
over a mile, one officer is hardly ex-
pected to see all the things complain
ed of by Mr.. Hoffheins. If Mr.. Hoff-
helms sees them, and is annoyed by
them, and anxious to have them
abated, it is his duty to make COM
plant at the Mayors office, as other
persons do. This he has not done. If
| he would make his complaints in the

While with rage the wild surf springs
Athwart the harbor bar,
The safe ships fold their snowy wings
Beneath the evening star.
In this calm haven rocked to sleep,
All night they swing and sway.
Till mantles DER the morning deep
The golden blush of day.
Here, safe from all the storms Of fate,
From worldly rage aud scorn,
Thus let me fold my hand and wait
The coming Of the morn.
While all night long DER moon-lit turf
The wind brings in from far
The moaning Of the bafiied surf
