-Oa Monday last. at the meeting Of the
council for the borough OF Ebeus5urg, the
appointments for the ensuing year should
have been made, cs the terms OF the present
officials expire on the first Monday in April
in accordance with 4 resolution passed by
the council last spring. Heretofore the
borough appointments have always been
made by the Republicans, as the Democrats
have never been able to elect more than
three counciimeu. and the Burgess as pre-
siding officer has always cast the decisive
vote when making appointments. The
Democrats at the last meeting raised the
question of the right of the Burgess to vote
in making appointments. and by voting
for two candidates prevented a tie vote.
steps have already been taken to test the
matter in cur courts and until then the
present officials will have a rest. 1t will be
terrible calamity to this town when the

seuting this Congressional District, ard
asking him 20 appoint another. Congress-

who, in the opinion of the aforesaid wise
acres, VIII knock the persimmons az either
West Point CT Annapolis, and leave in the
shade anything that has ever been hereto
fore known in the shape OF cadet. But
for some reason Congressman SculI's cadets
