THE QUESTION OF STREET IMPROVEMENT.
The likelihood of any comprehensive system
Of internal Improvement here is now at an
end Mayor Strauss proposed to the city coun-
Gil recently that an amendment of the charter
should be procured ITO authorize the city
council to issue bonds for the improvement Of
the streets, the bonds to bear interest at
8 per cent and the maximum issue to be fixed
at 500, Co.," This proposal was referred to
the committee On finance. and, as the proposal
was made on the 23d Of February, and the
session SEES Of the ies,siature closed in
necessarily killed the proposal, as the report Of
the committee would not he made to council
until after the adjournment OF the legislature.
Considerable opposition to the plan has been
manifested and the proposal now il
to make no more street improvements
than can be paid for out Of the
current revenue Of the city. That more than
5000 can now be spared annually for this
purpose. Even the proposal to authorize the
council TO abolish and consolidate Offices and
to create new ones, which would have given an
opportunity to make the superintendent Of
police a city engineer, came too late for action.

tative exposition Of his idea Of the quorum

HISTORY OF THE CORPS.

ing On the morning of the 9th the corps
pushed rapidly forward, and on the morning
Of the 2Sth brought up against the line of
Mine Run. The Second Corps (Gen. War
REM was strengthened by division of the
Sixth Corps.
On the Doth, after making careful recon-
noissances, Warren concluded that the po-
sition of the Confederates was favorable for
an attack on Its right, and Sedgwick,
after carefully examining the Confederate
left, believed that 1t possessed weak and
assailable point. 1t was accordingly deter
mined to attack both wings. Warren, with
force of about $4,000 men, was to operate
on the left, and Sedgwick with the Sixth,
supported by the Fifth Corps, was to oper-
ate on the right. On Sunday, the 29th, it was
agreed upon that at o'clock on the follow
ing morning Warren should open the attack,
and that at o'clock Sedgwick should begin
an assault upon the right
When morning came, however, Warren
discovered that the Confederate right had
been greatly strengthened during the night,
and that an attack was hopeless. He there
fore suspended the attack. Meanwhile,
however, the boom of Sedgwick's artillery
roared along the line, and the artillery Of
the right and center opened upon the enemy.
When the cause of Warren's silence became
known through an Aid de Camp sent by him
to explain the changed condition of affairs,
the hopelessness of further action became
apparent, and during the following night the
army was withdrawn across the Rapidan
and went into Winter quarters.

BILE occurrences. 1t was always first subjected
to the attacks of a foreign foe. Cesar with his
conquering legions first broke the sway OF the
ancient Britons. But the later conquest OF
William the Conqueror bears greater interest,
because the record is fuller and more authentic.
He first landed on the coast of Sussex, and the
battle of Hastings was fought, which won for
him the country.
The country abounds in Notifications erected

earthworks to the extensive walled cities still

property. The amount conferred in the old
cathedral cities was truly enormous. 1t is not
much wonder that some of the old Kings were
jealous of the growing power Of the Abbots and
Bishops. A great part of these endowments

Some small parish churches have very large
endowment, while many important churches
possess very small revenue. These "livings"
as they are called, are not in the possession of
the people, but are generally in the gift of the
mobiles or gentry owning the different estates
from which tithes are drawn.
The union OF Church and State still leaves the
