City Council met, last evening, to further
consider the Eleventh ward contest, and as
the Democrats, owing to the prevailing rain
storm that kept some of the Republican
members at home, found themselves in an
accidental majority, they took advantage of
the opportunity and settled the contest by
vote of indefinite postponement.
This abrupt termination of tedious and
profitless contest will be accepted with salts
faction, and cordially acquiesced in by
people generally, without regard to party.
The contest was conceived for a partisan
purpose, and after being carried on
several weeks, at an expense of two or three
hundred dollars to the city, developed no
real eyi leLce in support of the allegations
set forth in the petitions ofthe plaintiffs. At
the rate of progress II was making it bid
fair to last until next winter, and although
this might have been satisfactory enough to
the members of Council, who would be
credited with adollar apiece for each meet
ing held, 1t would not be a nice subject of
contemplation for the taxpayers, who would
thereby be deprived of some needed improve
ment to meet the enormous cost of this
trivial investigation, thus senselessly pro
longed.
1t is said the Republican members Of
Council will refuse to acquiesce in the
decision made at last nights meeting and
endeavOr 10 reopen the case by reconsider
alton at the regular meeting this evening,
they having suffered the motion to indef-
nitely postpone to prevail by an apparently
unanimous vote. To say nothing in regard
to the legality of such proceeding at Il
regular meeting-last nights session being
simply the adjournment Of a special meeting
held for the purpose of considering this con
test--the propriety of such a course is ex
ceedingly doubtful. Had the contest de
veloped any real merit during its progres
there might be some reason for such a pro
cedure, but as the contestants on their chic
count have not even intimated, niue
less proved, the intimidation of a half doze
voters, to offset a majority of over eighty
the foolishness of prolongation of the col
test, is apparent to all. And again, the RI
publicans had ample opportunity, la
evening, by the adoption of the most ord
nary parliamentary tactics, to prevent Il
Democratic members from taking any pract
cal advantage of their temporary majorit
Having been beaten by their own ignoran
and inefiiciency, with sufficient membe
present to hold the Democratic strength
check until the absentees could be sent f
they lost the last reasonable ground fl
a continuation of the ridiculous farce, al
in all decency should gracefully submit
the situation and acknowledge their defeat
Finally, the present majority in Coun
should recognize the fact that the peoI
generally will be satisfied to drop this &C
test just where it now is. There is t
much real public work TO be done with t
peoples money to warrant any further c
pense in the Eleventh ward foolishness, d
no member who sincerely desires to act
the public good can find any just reason
reopening the investigation. Let it drop.

Our annual spell of cold, damp weather IN
May commenced here on last Thursday night,
and we have been enveloped in fog and mist
ever since, until this morning there is some
clear sky visible.
Wheat and grass are making rapid growth,
but the ground is 50 wet that the planting OF
corn will be very much delayed
Dezscation P0stponed.-Owing to the ex-
tremely unfavorable weather, and the flush in
the waters which prevented many persons
from travelling, it was thought best to post
pone the dedication of our handsome new
Methodist church until Sunday, the 2Sth day
81 May, by which time the members of the
General Conference will have returned and in
addition tG the able divines heretofore en-
gagged, others will be in attendance to take
part in the interesting ceremonies of dedica-
ton.

Crops. 6c.-The prospect for wheat in this
section was never more fattering The recent
ffosts injured some fields, but not to any ex-
tent The pieces which have been fertilized
w;3h the cheap fertilizer sold by our neigh
bors, Larew & Lewis seems to stand the test
alongside of the highest priced formulas and brands
The planting is not quite finished. The pres
ent rain has called halt. Business seems to be
commencing this spring with courage and VIM
Labor is in demand, but many of farmers
have had hard time this spring Owing to the def
cheney Of last year they have been compelled to buy
and hay for their stock, and at such exhorbi-
prices to be nearly Of their reach. Many
thousand bushels Of western corn have been consum
within the county, which is rather disastrous for
this summer all will be right. Considerable prep ar
alton is being made for the German Reformed
Chassis which meets here the 18th inst. A new
street is being graded and opened from the main
street above the store of McCorkle Bros. to the
church, and which also opens the recently purchas-
ed new lots to public highway. W. NV.

them are but slightly affected, but the remain
