THE MAY0R,S OFEIGE.

An examination of the records of the city and the developments of the past week disclose startling irreg- ularities in the administration ofcity affairs. The Mayor is ruling this town with a high hand He is yio- lating the laws of this State with an utter abandon to the conse- quences thereof He running this town as if it was his personal prop erty. Hehas set the laws of the State at defiance. He is furnishing the city with supplies in the face of the direct prohibition of the statutes of the State. He has no contract with the city and is not authorized to enter into one, and without a con tract, which the law says should be furnished by contract, he is furnish ing the city, in defiance Of the law. For this act few years ago County Judge of this county was indicted by the Grand Jury, and by his acts Mayor Goldsmith is subject to in dictment and impeachment.
 By his own confession Mayor Gold smith is also riding OH free rail road pass, which is prohibited bS law, the penalty for which is fin( of not less than $20 nor more thar $20O, and removal from office.
 The GRAPHIC speaks by the record and the law, and is responsible fol neither.

THE LORD MAYOR.

The GRAPHIC is compelled to per form a very unpleasant duty this morning. It would prefer in all cases to scatter roses instead of thorns, but this work, of an unde
 sirable sort, is not of our own choos- ing. The Lord High Mayor Of this
 town threw down the gauntlet to
 the GRAPHIC for it's charge of 'ir-
 regularities in the administration Of city affairs and the GRAPHIC ac- cepts the challenge. If the result is unsatisfactory to His Grace, the Lord Mayor, the responsibility must rest upon his head. The investi- gations we have made have resulted in finding glaring Irregularities. The Mayor is furnishing feed and supplies to the Fire Department in express violation of the laws@of the State, and it will be seen by the figures adduced that it costs more per head to feed the horses in the fire department than during the previous administration, notwith- standing the fact that city scrip is worth nearly double as much now as it was a year ago. Another fact has also been developed, and that is that the Mayor is making more money out of his office than any of his pred ecessors. Notwithstanding the salary of the Mayor was raised just before the present incumbent was inducted into office, and that the salary is greater now than ever be- fore, the present Mayor finds it quite easy to make a public office contribute to his private business. He evidently believes that a public office is a private snap to be worked 1 for all it is worth. He draws a | salary from the city as Mayor; rents the back end of his store to the city | for Mayors office; sells feedstnffs to the Fire Department without contract and at whatever price he dictates, in defiance of law. sells goods and merchandise to the police force, subordinates and employees of the city, and altogether finds his official position of material value to his private business.
 This is rather bad showing for a reform administration. The Mayor is the biggest man in town. All others must bow to the law, but the Mayor knows no law higher than his own sweet will, And then this Lord High Mayor has set himself upon such lofty perch that even the most moderate criticism of his course results in an iniction of the direst wrath upon the head of his offender.
 But this is :. country where free dom of speech is allowed and the liberty of the press guaranteed, and this would-be dictator who would run everything in the city to his own personal liking is subject to like all other mortals here below.
 The GRAPHIC recognizes no little gods or wooden idols on this terres- rial sphere, and it has the courage 0 speak out and expose the irregu- arities in the city government even where the present Lord High Mayor 5 concerned.
