SrErBESYILLE, April l4.-More knowing
individuals who have been predicting the
ruinariou of the city of Steubenyille in the
event of James McConyille's elevation TO
the Asyoralty can now have time TO renect
over their foolish assertions, and good
many of them are having the msnhooi al
ready to acknowledge their mistake IN the
man. The new Mayor commenced his al
ninistrstion in the right way-by appoint
ing first class police force, with instruc'
tions 10 keep order at all hazards.
The force vas not picked altogether from
the ranks OF the Democratic party, several
Republicans being among the chosen ones,
which goes TO prove that Mr.. McConyille

holds TO. day. Mr.. T. K. Winning the day

community for his many sterling qualities.

what we can learn of Hughs reputation
as a good citizen, the good people OF that
Ward can rest assured that they have an
officer that will do his duty.
The appointment OF Henry Kelley, one
Of Ex-AayOr Twins old force, was little

for dislurbprs of the peace.
One of the best appointments OF the
bunch was that Of Philip Digusn. who
will have charge of the Fifth Ward. The
Fifth needs a good man, and they have
one in the person of DIguan. lie is q gen.
tleman, and wilt do his duty.
Carson Carstcstein is the Sixth Ward

Among the gentlemen, J. W. Cookson,
who played Farmer Howard, made as good
an odd man" as We have seen on the stage
in many day, and would put some OF the
''profesh" 10 shame By his excellent rendt-
ton of his character.
Gel. Coulter was cut out Tor heavy
business, and wasn't quite the csper for a
Rebel Brgadier. As tAe boys would say,
be has q little too much bay window for
a military man, and il wouldn't be healthy
for him in the field. He is better suited
for Sir John Falstatf However, the Colonel
did we'll sS Gen. Cheatham aud scored
success.
Pete Brady, George Whitaker aud En-.
net Erskine were cut out for actors and
missed their calling when called to other
pursuits. Brady. however. will tackle

ting comedians, and "Donno' Miller as
Bill smith was daisy.
Gen. Harry Cree covered himself all
over with glory as Gen. Albert Sidney
Johnson What pity it was that the
General WASH old enough To shoot during
the late unpleasantness. BUTT was a lucky
thing for the men on the opposite side. ~
course the General would have been on The
side of the Union. and what beats US is the
fact of him imperSenstiug Rrigadier. But
so did Coulter, but it was only In the play

But the boys all did we'll In fact every

an artistic success, but 4 financial one, too.
