The heirregularity Of the ash men, in
the western part of the city, which has
been noticed from time TO time, is
caused by The increase in tue amount
OF ashes during the winte season.
Last week it took two or three days to
empty the barrels on the east side of
Market street and on Friday every
body went TO the circus, consequently
the ashes in the Western part were not
taken away until Saturday. AS warm
weather approaches, the quantity Of
ashes dimiHlshes, and the contractor
desires Us to say that hereafter the
barrels east of Market street must be
set out early on Monday morning, and
those GU The Western side on Tuesday
morning. Ifthe people will only COM
ply with these directions, it is prom
ised that 20 more trouble will arise.

As subscriber Of your paper and

can conscientionsly say that 1t hal
been clearly demonstrated beyond tn,
shadow ofa doubt, that neither one OF
the other OF the existing parties ha,
been found qualified to suocessfully
conduct our city business, because the
directors of the ring rule everything
Both of the parties In order 10 retain
influence and control, have TO resort To
tie selection Of candidates from that
class whose avocations in general do
not qualify them for performing or
conducting our city affairs. Indeed
l feel safe in saying that there Is not a
business firm in this city who would be
likely to repose confidence in the fnan.
ciering abilities of such persons az the
majority Of Council has been com posed
of for many years and yet the tax pay.
Srs seem to be surprised that debt is
created from year to year, thus creating
q bonded debt of nearly two million
dollars against our city, in fact
placing under mortgage every piece of
property within the city limi Is until
1t has become so bothersome that even
the interest which has to be met annu.
ally amounts to ! believe more money
than was! required to meet the running
expenses OF the city fifteen or eighteen
years ago. This is a most deplorable
fact and one much to be regretted.
But aside from this there are equally
strong reasons that should impel tax.
payers to make demand on of the mar.
ties for placing more competent men a.
candidates on their tickets as for
the last eighteen years the amount OF
tax levied on each piece of property is
two thirds more than it was then: in
fact from that time to the present the
taxes have advanced just as much from
year to year as could reasonably be col
lected without creating q general resis.
tance. AS to the question of q salary
grab have only to say that our great
city saloons through whose devotlons
and untiring zeal IN the performance
OF their arduous duties for years in
bringing our city to such a crisis
should receive 1T least some mark of
recognition at the hands of a grateful
and generous people, and l believe I
would sound the keynote Of public SEN
timen.when say that Instead of set
tling a stipulated salary on ca III one it
should be more in the shape OF a public
contribution, and to be settled on Coun.
cilmen and their henchmen, generous
pension not for public services to be
rendered in their official positions after
their preseut term expires, but by their
giving bonds to retire to the shades of
private lite. The fact of the matter is
In municipal affairs party politics

would esteem it an honor to perform all

THE UNYINISHED IRONCLADS.
Indications That the APrOpf'a.

WAsHtSGroN, April 20.-Some time
ago the House Committee on Naval
Affairs reported resolution recon-
mending an appropriation OF u, 5oo, 900
for the completion of the lronClads
which we're begun under Secretary
Robeson's direction, and work upon
which was suspended i'll March, 1871.
The resolution was referri d TO the Com
mittee on Appropriations, or which MT.
Robpson is member.
The contractors, i'll whose shipyards
the hulls of the ironclaas have occu
pied valuable space during the last five
Years. are very anxious that something
Shall be done, and hoped that it
would be at this session.
There is pretty good reason to believe
however, that majority OF the Appro'
Drialions Committee will not see their
way clear to recommending az appro'
r!ation for that purpose this session.
1t is understood that in case a recon-
mendatiOn is made the Democratic

and will rake up all the old allegations
of fraud and jobbery In connection
