We therefore note, svitli real pleasure, the icsult of a meeting held on Inst even iog hy the colored people of Macon. The meeting was called to make notni nations for the eouilng municipal election, and arrange for the division of puily posi sition and hopes. To our surprise, party was Ignored, and one spirit pet vailed the Assembly.

To some, this action upon the part of our colored population may he a sulllcirnt ground or reason for opposing Mr. Hull, lull to us. and we think, t" most persons, it is an evidence of n latter Umlersliimliiig.be tween the races, ami an intimation at least, that a belter day is about to dawn Wc want unity in our home all airs The dis traction of jHillticnl parlies should he frowned down in all municipal contests, and (lie host men lor the places of honor and trust should lie chosen Irrespective of parly or opinion in matters foreign to our immediate interests.

CITY ADMINISTRATION To the Editor of the Enterprise — Dear j Hitt I ntn pleased lo see the handsome manner in which you have opened your columns to the discussion of municipal affairs, and now avail myself of the privi lege hy presenting a few more ideas lor the consideration of your readers. Hcforc doing so, however, it would perhaps be well to disabuse your own mind of the idea which, in common with Mr. Huff you seem to entertain, that all who cannot en dorse the action of Ihe City Government in ail its phases must necessarily be inimi cal to him personally ; he enemies in fact, of the kind without whom, he says lie cannot live. Now I do not occupy any | such position, for 1 have always been one ! of his personal admirers, though 1 have j never been able to approve of all his offi cial course and have not hesitated to speak to his face my full opinion. 1 may ns well stale also that I am no candidate or aspirant foi office and have no “defeated j ambition'’ to uiouni over, other than that j common to most of us, the honorable sin l bitlou of independence to which we im agined ourselves entitled Well let us entiit ly Ignore ihe person ality of Mr Huff, mid home calmly to the considerations ot lilt* causes that lor llie last eight yeuis have added seventy seven thousand dollars annually to the city's oh ligations and see it some letnetly Call nut Ije discovered, that can wi h certainly, put a check upon the head long career that every one must set- is hurrying u. to de slruetiou by precipitating the citizens into a vortex of debt. In Ibis connection I hope you will excuse me for nientionlug once more the "one-man power," a phrase in troduced 1 believe with happy effect hy His Honor the Mayor, when he wished lo convey Ihe idea that Ilia advice of even eight Aldermen wu too much interference with a Mayor's prerogatives which ought to ho somewhat after tho kindly sort, and who should be surrounded with but two committees to record his edicts When men in office undertake to do what they ! havc'no legal authority fordoing, they as sume a power superior to the law, and act up their individual judgment against the ' written statute, and so far as they do so j and uvt upon it they exert in their iudi- I vidua] capacity, the one man-power to ' which kind the many evils that afflict our city to day are mainly attributable. ( )f course due allowance should he made for the extra expenses incident to the an omalous position iu which we have been placed since the war. but that was no ex cuse, fur instance, for Mr, Collins’ admin- I i-lration adding fifty thousand to the Au gusta Railroad subscription or to Mr. Obcars’ for giving over the treasury of the city to tho Mercer University not for Mr. Huff's using the corporation funds in fix ing for and runing a fair, the doing of which has (listened a bonded debt upon her of two hundred thousand dollars in gold. Now ii those had been ligilimnteobjects that any stretch of the imagination could have deemed consonant with Ihe objects for which the corporation was created we might have borne the burdens imposed without a murmur, hut they were not,and 1 don’t believe if the questions were tested that the properly of Ihe cillzens could ho sold for laxos imposed for any such pur poses. He that however as it may, if Ihe laws Imd been carried out without in fraction, it would have been impossible to have been so extravagant, for those administrations would have been compelled to keep their expenditures w ithin their means and when Mr. Collins began to printKnd issue mo- ney, he set an example that day which if ' followed will swamp any city corporation in the world. Mr <’ left thousands of prom ises to pay Mr O. improved upon it and left Jsil.ooi) to be provided for, und Mr. II not to he behind hand added $173,000 to that, converted the public properly into cash of over SIOO,OOO spent that, added a third more to the taxes, and instead of having his mirrency make interest he pays iutcrest ror it to keep it out ! I and will have to fund in gold bearing bonds having perhaps twenty years to run ol un expense of $30,000 more for interest and possibly double that for discount, besides liaviMg still $90,000 of the Mayor’s prom ises to pay, limiting about or paying five and u half per cent to some other corpora tion for being put away !! And all this because they persist iu making the city do an act so contrary to law that would consign any man of them for doitig the same to the penitentiary. Hence, 1 say It behooves the citizens to i see to it that those plates be destroyed at 1 all hazards, aud there is no better time to do it than right now. when it is announced , that many more thousands will be needed to run the nest Fair, and doable the sala | ries of the city officers. Speaking about Fairs, however, it j strikes me that this is a bran uew business i for city corporations to engage in. St. Louis has been mentioned as also Louis ville ns furnishing examples for our imita tion in this department, but 1 venture the assertion that neither of them, no, nor any oilier corporation iu the United States or the world, except Macbn. lias ever eui barked as a corporation in the show busi j ness, ano no other treasurer of a corpora | lion holds Weston the walkists voucher I for money received or any similar receipt, and it is something in this wild age to be i able to say that, for assuredly in Ibis par ticQlar. Mayor Ilutr has shown himself tiro "most progressive man iu the world" tor here he treats the palm. I don't pretend to say thorp have been ! any lies* Tweed's about Macon, but a ! printing press oilers too many temptations ■ to poor human nature, and parties who ; scout at honors iu connection with a •Mayor's office in these degenerate days, should not be too greatly exposed. For this reason also I urge the destruction of I those plates, for with corporations os with men who sign their names too often, tticrc can be no real economy wltcu money can ; be had on such easy terms Ido not charge Mr. Huffs administration with recklessness in the use' of the people's money, though a heap of it Ims goue since they came in power, besides what will have to go after they retire, but 1 do arraigu their judgment iu not paving the floating debt with the cash assets of the city instead of launching forth into still greater extravagance. In the one case the 110,000 realized fof sales of public property, including sales or street outfit which Mr. iluffomilted. would have paid up within lI.tKJO of the floating debt left by Mr Obcar that added to the currency theu out ot StiOOO would never have been fell and could have been paid just as easily as the ikblHM) that is still out while the proposed 200,000 gold Kinds and their 30.000 interest would have been raved to the city or never been heard of. Hut theu we should not have had the fair buildings that is true, . but 1 suppose wo j could have survived that calamity much 1 better thau we shall the substitute com pared to which the burning of several squares would be of small magnitude.
