Ikmtha One City Ctaaall tUati. In our local ootamas aa exhibitM made of the first steps made by onr now Coun cil for retrenchment and reform. We are in (nil sympathy with every action that the Oeunoil may take for rttrenoil man t, which we may consider fair and legitimate. Tax Scs supported the election of the entire Democralie t-cket, because confident that it would prove iaithfnl to its promises for retrenchment and reform. Bat there is a certain con sistency which ahould be observed in all things and tbe Connell in its desire to serve the city should not be deterred from fairness and justice to any party or parties. The extreme position it lias taken ajplnrt the Police Department is, to onr mind, both unfair aud nnjuat A few days since we commented on tbe actios of th* Council, reducing thePolioe fore* from forty-five to thirty, and approving that measure, but opposing the propoal- tion which wa understood wu pending, to reduce the pay of policemen. Sinoe the pnblication of that article we have tak en pains to examine tbe police register of peat years, and looking at the same time into the 1 nor ease which baa yearly been making in the population and extent of the eity, have come decidedly to the eonclnsion that the redaction even in the number of the foroe wu too great. But not only (if wo are oorrectly informed) has the rednoFon ia number, from forty- fire to thirty, been made, but the pay of even tho thirty has been reduced, while tLe duty of lighting the atreot lamps hu been added. We beg to call the attention of onr Fathers to the following facta: No eity in the State of helf ‘be popu lation of Atlanta, hu so small a police foroe u la now proposed for Atlanta. No city pay* its polico less than 42 CO per day. No eity in tho State hu so cold a cli mat* or such ragged and miserable street* daring the winter season. No city hu enlarged so rapidly in pop ulation and extent, daring the several years that haye succeeded the war, aud hence there is No eity which requires more arduous service or harder endurance on the port of the polioe than Atlanta. Now, if it is expected that the mem bers of tbe police foroe do their duty, we insist that the email pay of 42 60 per day is compensation none too great. Whilo onr respected city Fathers, and the rest of our citizens are snoozing com (ortobly, free from feu of harm these bitter nights, the police have to endure tbsinelemeney of the weather outdoors, in guarding their property and their rest! Is this redaction of the pay for their hard servioe fair, we ask f Iaitanaotof hnmsnity ? A Vole* From Jt*oanajrlT«ai». [The following complimentary notice of Mr. Stephens wo dip from the Weat- chostor (Pa.) Jefferionian, one of the ablest Demoeratio journals ot tho “Key stone Statu.” It appeared in that paper on tho 2Ui instant: HON. ALEX.VNDF.lt U. STETIIEKS. This distinguished Sun^ru statesman is a prominent candid ire for United States Senator lrom Ucorgia. Wo hope tho people of Ilia native State may do themselves the honor ol electing him.— It would he a just tribute to an able man, who has served them long and well. Mr. Stephens is truly a representative man of his aeotion, and if eleoted would faith fully represent the Sontb, which for years pas; Jios been so sadly and wickedly misrepresented in the Federal legislative halls. Ha would, besides, be an orna ment to the Sonate, where there is now tnoh an array of medium talent, and hie ability and thorough knowledge ot the principles and working ol our govern ment wcnld enable him to oommand the attention and reepeot of both that body and the whole oountry. Hi* physioal infirmities fer years put have been snob u to prevent bis leaving home, hut he has so fsr recovered aa U. bo sole to visit Atlanta a few seeks since, and hu promised cro long to oddrosa tho citizens of tuat pltco upon the politiool •ituaticn ■ i the day and our future proa liects. Lis political disabilities having he-, n removed and hia health improved, he should by ell means be sent to the Unitod States Senate. 49* It la the dnty in the future of the police to light the street lamps. It is likewise his duty to arrest and take to tho station house, offenders agalost the city laws. We will suppose a policeman engaged in lighting the lamps away ont in Frank Bice’s neighborhood, when some drunken rowdies rowing demand hia escort to the calabocso. Which shall policeman do — continue lighting the lamps or arrest the law-breakers T If the Utter, who will light tho lamps ? If the former, who will volunteer to aot as guard over th* arrested ? Will Frank rise and ezplaio ? !•“ We are down upon the employ ment of bad men upon tho police; we favor tbe employment ot good men only, and of terminating the aerviee* ol those who do not properly perform their du ties. But good men shonld receive fair pay, and for lees than good pay good men cannot be retained. The Eighth Congrcialonal Dlttrlcf. Mr. Editob: The death of General Wright rendors necessary another elec tion in this (the Eighth) Congressional District, to fill his place. We wants man of conrago, intellect and integrity. No man in the district hu these quali ties combined in a higher degree than Oapt John O. Reid, of Lezington, Go. He served with honor and distinction u »n officer in the Eighth Georgia Regi meat daring the entire war. Since Its clone he hu risen rapidly in his profes sion—tbe law—until he ia the peer of almost any lawyer m either ot tho three circuit* in which he preetices — the Northern, Western and Oemulgoe. Po litically tfp hu been the bold, onoom- pro eusing enemy of Radicalism when ever he fonnd it. Let the poopie nomi nate ard elect him. They ean’t find a better man.
