A writer in the Ftoiutfan, contem
plating strsits to which citka have
been brought through their govern
mental organizations goes extensively
into their history, tin 1 mp-cii!! that
of New York, and propo-ea to apply a
remedy for the evils of tv.atiun aod
indebtedness by raising thr r.Mndardsof
fity comcils. All ritatci, and with
Texas it is peculiarly so, have a jangle
of laws regarding municipal govern
ment, the result more of local
rincr pressure than of WmlM'tve
consideration, and liTim in nirtft rf
our cities fraud and corrnplion have
tun riot, while the toV, lor i:iieuie,
the municipal olicerp, are uppronruitelr
elinsen upon 'i he rniuisites of either
iiubecilit; or ignorance, and too often
of venality. The writer above referred
to, taking a aimilur view to the Statks
man upon the general subject of city
government, traces the cause of nmuit-
. ipal failures in alt instances to the
"rottenness and corruption" control
ing rity councils. A city's financial
downfall always originates in its
board ol aldermen, aud the reason
given is that "ulde-rmauic reprtsenta
tion is no representation at all."
We have given this question much
consideration, hoping to sea clear
ly through it for the b;iitlit f
our tax-burdened communities, and
have 'Vged upon bungling oiitti-tution-makers
the necessity e.f so
aiueuning the code ua to pluce power
alone in the hands as those who main
tain civil communities. Tho root ol
the evil ran only bo reached through
such means, but while wailing for
this, which will lie attained in the
course of time, we might add to it
other safeguards, such as ure Hiugcslcd
by the wiitr nferrcd to. llo de
clares that aldeimaiiic representation is
founded neither upon population, di
verse interests, size of territory, taxa
ble value of property, nor any other
tangible or sppreriahle thing ur rea
son, ft is simply a survival, and hav
ing survived its usefulness, like all or
ganic growths, it has become a parasite,
lie would remove this rubbish, and
establish in its eteud a local legis
lature, a real representative body of
the city, which bhouM bo Urg?, re
gardless of constituency. Athens wss
wisely governed, and history tells us
every citi.en was a component part
of its Icfcishitivo assembly; and to
meet the objection to largo assein
blies it is only necessary to call
atteutiou to the If h of. Commons
nuii our national Home of rtiipromita
tive., both largo bodies transacting
business with case, aud generally to
the satisfaction of a constituency. Our
theorist gives a uuiubsr of requisite
for creating such a legislative body,
substantially as follows: Tuat a city's
vaned interests, though it covers but
it sipiaro mile or so of land, demands
variety of tniud aud infoinialion to
she its legislation, the principle of
representation requiring that the larger
the extent of country and the more
numerous the ronttiine-nrv, tin; pmaller
may be, in proportion, the representa
tive body. For iintioiin! purposes,
rvery comer and petty intercut docs
jut need watching and representation ;
but for local purposes they are the
very elements or th. representative
cmistituercies. I'y 'are rrpreser.ta

proverbially hard to bribe or

would destroy the supremacy of the

The plan proposed, besides authorizing
a large representation, would take iu
representation from stock and produce

Mr Kl iir Wtight, probably the best

Tbe Jews of tbe United States late
ly held their fourth'aanual council at
Philadelphia. This union has already
done such in CDCouragicg educational
and benevolent institutions, and its
late action evinces the fact that it is to
become an important adjunct in the
material development ot the conntry.es ;
well as in improving tbe condition of the j
Jewish i ace in America. It has estab
lished a male college in Cincinnati and
tbe prospect now is that one will also
be established for females in the same
city. A novel project, too, is contem
plated in the establishment of an agn
cultural colony somewhere in the
United States, to which are to be

doubt such a community would row
into importance, for the energy of
this people, directed towards
any undertaking, would re
sult in tuccss. The union
invites donations for tbe purpose of
carrying out this scheme, and why
should not the Jews of Texas take an

Tnit annual appropriations of the

Both the Indians in the United State
and those in Canada possess the same
natural characteriAtics.the difference in
the conduct 6f the two being traceable
to the conduct of the agents of the
respective governments. The Can

The New York Tribune has resumed
that kind of bitterness which charac
terized it twenty years ago. Then it
wanted the Njrth to wage war against
the S.iuth for the extermination of
slavery. Now the same bitternesj pos
sesses itin regard to liberty of thought,
and it makes the following prediction;
Avainst the solid South there is soon
o be a solid North ; cot so perfectly
united as the South, perhaps; 'that is
oot necessary ; but solid enough and
firm enough to possess the government,
tt will be stronger thaa in 1801;
stronger for the prestige of past sue
cess, the enlarged experience of added
years, increased confidence in its own
resources, and tbe consciousness of
having earned piwer honestly and ug-d
it worthily. The small margin by which
the Democrats carried two or three
Northern States in 187(1 will crumble
away tbe instant sgph a actional issue
is presented as that which tho SjuUi
seems anxious to invite.
Even the founder of the Tribune be
came at one time a cipher in its man
agement, and its course at this juncture
may soon produce a similar effect as to
its own opinions and predilections.
No scheme of the nineteenth century
hss brought more distress to the pub
lic than the wrecking of life insurance
companies. Policy-holders have been
robbed of millions. Tbe business cf
wrecking life insurance companies has
made a few mea riob, while ft has hurt
hundreds of thousands. These wreck
ers are greater criminals than those
who rob bank vaults after gagging the
night watchman. This wrecking bus
iness should be made such an c flense,
with such penalties, that it will never
again be attempted. Laws can be
passed to reach every person engaged
in this sort of robbery, and it will be
the dnty of our next Legislature to
pass them.

Some of our planters bave as much a
