Dealers who propose to engage In it-and which of them does not ? sttoold therefore announce their attractions with? out delay, IX they w?h to reap an early harvest.

Printed Eiips had -been furnished Council, con? taining the names of the commissioners, as de? cided upon in a caucus meeting. Some of these 1 Xl tl V Il/YlVijJUiO X V?, had been scratched ott* and the name or George W. Clark substituted Tor that or H. B. Olney, in the Commissioners or the Orphanhouse. The latter received six votes, and considerable dls satlsractlon was expressed by Alderman Voigt, Cunningham and others, at the erasure ot his name, as the matter had been decided upon in caucus. In the Commissioners or Markets, thc name ot David Barrow was substituted Tor that or R. S. Bruns, the latter receiving 2 votes; Coogan, 1; Addison, l, and T. J. Mackey, L The Commissioners or the Almshouse were elect? ed In accordance with the printed slip, the board being thc same a3 last year, with the exception or J. F. Greene and Richard Holloway, who took the place or E. W. M. and T. J. Mackey. Alderman Voigt said that in the list or supervi? sors or the High School, Alderman Collins1 name was substituted ror that or T. J. Mackey, but that or Alderman L. F. Wall was not on the list agreed upon in caucus, and he thought, Dom the action or Couicll, that caucus meetings were a farce, and that the inconsistency or Council surprised him. Alderman E. P. Wall said that that was not the offence; it was because a colored man was on the board. The gentlemen would sit m Council with colored men; ir they decline to sit as supervisors, let them resign. Alderman Orcene thanked Council ror electing him a member or the Board or Supervisors or the High School, but begged leave to resign and sub? stitute the name or Hon. George S. Bryan. Alderman Voigt said that ho was accused or what was not true, and those who knew him were aware that he had no prejudices in regard to color. He sat with colored men to the right and left in Council, and wonld sit at the same boards with them elsewhere. Alderman Cunningham said that he was dis? pleased because the solemn pledges given in cau? cus were violated; that Mr. Olney's name had been erased and Mr. Clark's substituted. The one was a Democrat the other a Republican, but that should have cansed no change. He was will? ing to vote for any one, white or colored, whose name was agreed upon at a caacus meeting. Alderman E. P. Wall said the tickets were all laid on the desks, and the Aldermen mnst have seen thc name or R. P. Wall, and could have erased it and substituted that or G. S. Bryan, if so disposed, and tons avoided the discussion. Alderman Greene said that at the caucus meet? ing he had expressed his unwillingness to accept the nomination, and he again tendered his resig? nation. He resented the Insinuations ot Alder? man Wall as unjust, particularly as regarding himself. He had sat with colored men at the same board, and would do BO again. The resignation being accepted, the election was held, and Judge Bryan received twelve votes and L. F. Wall one. A communication from the county auditor ask? ing for the appointment of a board of equaliza? tion was read and referred to the Mayor for ac? tion. Tlie Mayor appointed Aldermen Geddings, Pot? ter and Cunningham the special committee to consider the report or Alderman Barrow, on the west end or Broad street. On motion Council then adjourned. ACADEMY OF MCSIC- Tho disagreeable weather last evening prevented the appearance or the usual proportion or ladies in the audience at the Academy; but those who were present were amply repaid for having ventured out on so raw and damp a night. "Checkmate," the open? ing piece, written by Andrew Halliday, well known xs a contributor to thc London Punch, has a lively and well-defined plot, and abounds in keen dialogue and droll situations. Miss Blanche Chapman, in the leading part, achieved a decided triumph. Whatever her success In burlesque, her strongest point, we think, ls in comedy. The per? fect naturalness and qnict lady-like manner In which she conducts the dialogue or the play, was rcrrcshlng to ears accustomed to the usual exag? gerated tone and boisterous demeanor or the stage. Cinderella passed off as gally and as smoothly as when first performed, Miss Ella sus? taining the part ol the rollicking Dandini in spirit? ed and graceful style. For to-night wc are to have "Black Eyed Sus? an, " with the three-act comedy of "Everybody's Friend,"' written by Sterling Coyne, ot London. It has had the run or a year in London, with Mr. S. Clarke (brother-in-law to Edwin Booth) as Major Wellington de Boots, a swaggering mili? tary bully, with thc aspect or a lion and thc pluck or a monse. Felix Feather!)- is "Everybody's Friend,"constantly, in his honest desire to serve others, Involving hlmscir in trouble, like Gold? smith's "Good-natured Man." Thc comedy ls foll or very laughable incidents, and has recently been revived in New York, with much success. Mr. Bishop appears as the doughty Major on this occasion.
