-IN the long string of resolutions
offered by Councilman Baynard at the
meeting of the Board of Alderman on
Saturday last, we find one which, con
trary to any law on the subject, pro-
hibits the commissioners of election
from counting or tallying votes in the
several wards for any councilman 9th
er than resident of the ward in which
the ballot is deposited, the reason
urged for such action being that resi-
dents of the I'd or Sd wards had no
right to name who should represent
the voters of the LIST, 4th or 9Th wards.
We will not right here take issue with
the gentleman on that point. We
might have been led to believe the
reason was good one were it not for
the insincerity of the argument, which
insincerity is borne out by those same
resolutions. If voters in the 5th ward
have no right to name man to repre-
sent the Sd ward, what unblnshing
cheek it was on the part of the men,
Der from the latter ward to himself
name the commissioners of election for
the five wards of the town, and when
the gentlemen from the 1st and 5,h
wards, Offering no particular objection
to the commissioners named, contend
ed for the same privilege accorded the
other members of the Board, why did
Mr.. Baynard so discoarteously persist
in carrying through his scheme "Con-
sistency thou art a jewel !"
Go to RosenthaPs, he'll treat you
nice. If YOU are not satisfactorily
soa cant be pleased in Town.

MASON Brown, colored, was killed
on Monday night at the outer edge Of
Town on the Armstead place, by John
Lamothe, colored, with au axe, with
which he struck Brown in the head,
killing him instantly. The trouble
was brought about by Browns having
stolen some geese from Lamothe's
mother, and with whom Brown was
quarreling at the time of the killing,
and Brown made an effort as if to
draw a weapon, wherenpon Lamothe,
who was. close by, struck Brown with
the axe. Brown has been nuisance
and a notorious character in these parts
for years, and the public in general
are halfway pleased that he has been
gotten rid of.
