Dr. Alexander IL Barnitz, of 'York, succeeds Mr. T. May lie proia us popular as his predecessor.. "Proceedings of. Council." There is always more or less clamor against public servants, and any man who has occupied an office in the gift of the peo ple can testily to having served an exacting master. (Exacting - in some respects, but ea sily, and, alas! too frequently, hoodn inked and bamboozled.) This is especially the ease where the service is gratuitous, and most eminently applicable, above all other eases, to the officers of a small town or be rough. Our Councilmen have always re ceived a fair proportion cf abuse, deserved or undeserved, and the members of the pres ent body are not exceptions. That vigilant party "A. Tax Payer," has been alive to the dead weight of an onerous tax, "Citizen" himself has protested against little irregu larities, and that very Cerberus of popular right, "Pro Bono Poblico," has had an eye to public abuses. Let us hear what short comings and overreachings ate laid at the door of the Council Chamber, and then de cide, if we can, whether the members must father the foundlings or throw them back un Madam Itu:nor, the trofortunate mother. First, it is charged that contrary to Act of Assembly, and in violation of their oaths of office, certain members of Council have been interested in furnishing the borough with supplies for which they have received pay. As the act in question prohibiting all pecuniary relations between corporations and officers in their service or employ ie in sufficiently known, and will best explain the nature of this charge, we annex such per lion of it as applies to the case in question. It is entitled "An Act Relating to Corpora dons and to Estates held fur Corporate Reli gious and Charitable uses." By &mos; 1, it is euacteth "That it shall not be lawful for any nun ciltinin, burgess, trustee, manager or dim,. j tor of any corporation. municipality or pub lic institution to he at the same time a trea surer, secretary or other officer, subordinate to the Presideot and Directors, who shall receive :t salary therefrom, or be the surety of suell'officer, nor shall any member of any corporation or public institution, or any of ficer or agent thereof, be in anywise inter ested in the contract fur the sale or furnish ing of any supplies or materials to be fur nished to or for the use of any corporation, municipality or public institution of which he stint! be 31 member or officer, or for which he shall be an agent, nor directly nor indi rectly interested therein, nor receive any re , ward or gratuity from any person interested in such contract or sale; and any person vie " these provisions, or either of them, shall forfeit his membership in such corpor ation, municipality or institution, and his office or app ,intment thereunder, and shall he held guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof, shall forfeit any sum not less than three times any advantage he may hate derived from such offense, if :my, and if no sm.), advantage have been received, then any suns in the discretion of the Court of Quarter Sest,imis of the proper county, not exceeding five hundred dollars for each offense." The sec and count of the indictment sets forth that by gross neglect of Council the Act of A'eemhly of 1828, supplementary to the act of incorporation of the borough which provides "That the street supenisor, treasurer, high constable, clerk of the market, and col lector, as well as other officers which may be appointed by the corporation or commit, who arc directed by the tenth section cf the aforesaid act to render their accounts at n quarterly meeting of the said council, in the month of April, yearly, .11;111 hereafter at a quarterly meeting of the council, in the month of January, render their accounts to the said council fur settlement, any law to the contrary notwithstanding," has been for at least ithree years ;nopera tive—no rendering of the accounts of tax collectors fur that period hating been coin- Thirdly it is asserted that in contempt of an "An Act to increase the Revenue of the 11wough of Columbia, Lancaster County," passed in IKtl. as follows: "That the Chief Burgess and Town Coun cil of the borough of Columbia, in the county of Lancaster, he and they are hereby em powered to assess upon all real property lying within the limits of said borough, and upon all other property now by law taxable for borough purposes, such amount as may I be necessary to meet the expenses of said borough. and pay off existing debts: Pro : tided, That the said assessment shall not in any one year exceed the sum of forty cents in each hundred dollars of the valuation for county rates and levies: &c., &e. "SccrioN 2.—That the whole amount of the excess over and above the present rate of taxes which may be hereafter %ball he specialty appropriated to pay the debt 110 W existing r_minst the said borough. until the same shall be paid rain full; and that after the said debts shall be so paid in full, then the assessment shall not in any one year exceed the sum of thirty rents in each hundred dollars as aforesaid;"&c..&c.. no attention has been paid to the mode of appropriating the eseess over the old rates of talcation prescribed in the second section above recited. Lastly, it is charged that so little atten tion has recently been given to the financial affairs of the borough, that no man knows the amount of municipal indebtedness, and that such knowledge is nut attainable by the public. The first charge needs no argument: it is proven i►y :he minutes of Council. It ap pears that bills have repeatedly passed that body presented , by. and in the names of, members, in direct violation of a law of the Commonwealth and fine v.atiss of members to support such law. The only excuse is that of ignorance of the law, a poor one at best, and even this palliation is impossible in a late case where the bill of a member was passed over the objection of another mem ber, and in face of a Rill knowledge of the.provisions of the above quoted act, its pains and penalties. We do not charge that these bills were unjust ones, nor that the borough suffered by their payment, but the law is a wholesome and positive one, and it behooves' citizer 46 called to a public trust 4 acrunt &et - iiselites with their dutik3; thentgerr neitiqr wilfully nor ignorantli:•ti A rAwm in tgiS particlar is imperative ' The seOeig cha t +is basifd upon 'asser tion,-and If',3ots Incorrect we•ihnli:*-be ead - 446ford evtiteilify to the proper parties for setting the public right upon this matter: We have been given to understand that . the assessment of taxes for the last three years amounted to nearly $lO,OOO, while the amount collected wds barely $5,00. If this be the case heavy censure must fall on the negligent parties. The restive tax-payers of the bo rough who bear the burthen, may well kick under the imposition of 'the whole support of a corporation whose servants apparently give neither attention nor thought to their duties. We grant that on every tax dupli cate are taxes which are necessarily non collectable, but that the enormous propor tion of one-half in this category is incredi ble. To the third charge we give credence.— In the face of urgent 'remonstrance the net of 185 G, cited above, was procured to be passed, and an enormous increa e of taxa tion followed, the only qualifying aecom• paniment being the provision in tiro act, prescribing the appropriation of the ex cess overthe old rate, to the liquidation of the then debt, and the reduction, after such liquidation, of the rata ,to thir ty cents on the hundred dollars valua tion. That proper appropriation of this named excess, for it is excessive, has been criminally neglected we cannot doubt; fur the borough now rejoices in an empty treat• sury, and, as fur as we can inform ourself, an undiminished indebtedness. We, with every heavily taxed citizen, have a right to insist that this wrong be righted, and if the proper appropriation has, as we believe, been neglected, that a corresponding sum be set aside, of outstanding taxes, and re ligiously applied to reducing the old debt and for no other purpose. When that debt shall be extinguished let the grateful reduc tion in the rate of 25 per cent, be irnme dhite:y made, and our town rid of a burthen more intolerable than Slinbad's Old Man of the sea. In conclusion we feel that the want of proper informatiUn on the part of the cith: setts as to the hidebteduess of the bOrough may be pr .perly charged upon the negli gence of the Council. It is positively as serted that no member of that body is aware of the financial condition of the town. If this prove correct would it not be well enough fur some one or more to become properly qualified to give a remote guess at the nature and extent of our municipal in volvement? The annual account of the Bo rough Treasurer shows entisfactorily, the amounts received and paid out by him, and nothing more could be looked for in that gentleman's accounts. • But how are the numerous orders, bills sze., issued and passed by Council, and paid in to the tax collector as money, to be acoounted fur?— The treasurer cannot receipt to the collec tor fur them as cash, while the collector re ceives them as equivalent to cash. To what amount has this borough scrip been circula ted? In short, where do we stand? By a statement published in tne Spy of March Gth, 1858, the indebtedness of the borough on Feb. Ist 1858, $4,074 48, while the atonable resources amounted to $2,761. 00— mainly in outstanding taxes. As the en tire recepts of the borough for the past year together with $1,300 00 borrowed by coun cil have been insufficient to meet interest and current expenses we may infer that our financial condition is not materially im proved; therefore we ask of council, where do we stand? In our remarks we have been actuated by no desire to find a hole in the coat of the Town Council. We believe the members to be negligent and no more, and desire to we them take proper interest in the affairs they fI6BLIIIIC to manage. Let them thank. God that they are neither a State Leigisla ture or a national Congress, and that their shortcomings are errors and not crimes.— There must be reform, however, and speed ily. The tendency of all public servants to corruption is becoming an unbearable evil. Public speculation is looked upon as venial in a national light, and even states and the large municipalities are Nth] to be tainted with the same laxity of belief. For heaven's sake let not our trilling borough loaves and fishes prove a deception and n snare. If our councils cannot be depended on where shall we look for virtue!

The high Constable,receivedihe pledged honor of the recusant_ witnesses that they null not fail him on the morrow, and in proof of his confidence in their word locked them up' in the cellar over night. They- were - prodpt in their' appearance at the Blue Front on the Ist inst. The prosecution opened, but was inwnedi ately requested to dry up'hy'the trefendttnt, who mixed up denunciaticini of prosecutrir; her husband, baby and remotest kin with• appeals - to the 'Squire for justice and to the witnesses for truth. She expressed a be-' nor that ho' putty-faced wench could get ahead of her, and a determination to compel her enemies to "take to de woods" before she was done with them. She concluded with "Bring on do \Tarlton's; day know what to say, dey do!" There was a smile of security on the prisoners face, betokening either conscious innocence or unbounded trust in the sound ness of her witnesses. This triumphant grimace taken in connection with informa tion obtained from a reliable source, of a little conspiracy among the witnesses to de feat the ends ofJostice and bring off Aunt Martha in a coach, caused a twinkle in the 'Squires eye, and a motion to Richard to call over the names of the friends of the derense. John Edmonds, Jim Stout, Roland Patterson, Rank Turner, Nathan Smith, Aleck Stall, trero called and ordered to separate themselves front the crowd and locate themselves iu - the corner of the court room most remote front the door. - The parties ins severally appealed to in Richard's sternest voice, ranged themselves against the wall, their former disinterested spectator air git•in'g place to one of dread suspense— they evidently began to•suspect that neither their common - tient nor themselves wealil leave the presence iu the vehicle' above named. • The magistrate put on his three-month-at hard-labor, limit-of-the-111W expression and proceeded to address the now completely frightened darkies. "This Court has been credibly informed that it is the intention of you infernal niggers to shield the pris oner, your aunt Martha Loney, from the consequences of her violation Of the consti tution. Niggers, by the Dred Scott decision it has been established that you have no rights—not a right, and by a decision of this Court it has become an unalterable law that this Court cannot be wrong, ergo, if you don't tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing else, I'll send every nigger of you to Thagh fill for five years!• Now mind what I say, and keep your eyes skinned; this Court will not be trifled with! The crier will call John Edmonds." "0 yes! 0 yes! 0 yes! John Edmonds, John Edmonds, John Edmonds! Answer to your name and tell the truth, you black rascal; and hereof fail not, under the penalty that may ensue!" The terrified' woollys came up to the mark like lambs to the sacrifice, nail truth and perspiration were poured out profusely: Aunt Martha folded her hands and hung out a pearly ling of distress on her sable cheek, ns sho heard witness after witness soletnnly swear that she, the prisoner, had sold whiskey on every-dny of the week to all sorts of people of every age. One dark was in such a funk that he made a clean breast of his own sins, admitting that he had procured the ardent at Aunt Martha's in exchange for chickens stolen by him in the country. For defense Daniel Loney, son of Aunt Martha, swore nut his mother never sold whiskey, but sometimes treated in return for presents of fowls. He charged one .TamesStont with having Concluded a bargain of this kind about two weeks 'since. On this side issue James made battle and de clared his innocence. Could prove an alibi and requested the 'Squire to refer to his docket and state where that official record locnted him, Stout, at the time of the alleged fowl transaction. The 'Squire, after a brief examination declared Stout innocent; his last sentence to the County Prison not having expired at the time indicated. The proof of Aunt Martha's offence be- Mg positive she was held to bail for her ap pearance at the April term to answer the charge of selling liquor to minors on Sun day without a license. The witnesses not producing bail were committed to testify, or for trial as may hereafter appear. Lorne, as. Retxx.—On the afternoon of I the 21st inst., Queen Louisa of Sawnoytown, appeared and made complaint before Es quire Welsh against certain of her sub jects for rebellion. She duly set forth how her faithful prime minister, Mr. Cloud, had, overcome by the arduous duties of his office, retired temporarily from public life, (he was sent down for 'GO days,) and how she had called in as premier, pro tem. Charles Butler, sue athletic mulatto. On Mr. Cloud's return to court, after his briof sojourn at his country seat, he demanded the seals and his old position, which Charles, with the habitual self denial of nll office holders, resolutely refused to yield. 'Her Majesty sided with Cloud and called "upon Butler to resign, bufthe latter,' backed up by the "Virgirmy /interest" declined `to capitulate.

For the Columbia Spy It would seem, Mr. Editor, that if a per son - designed to bo devilish and cruel, it would be most readily accomplished by ha proper severity to an unoffending and help less servant. 'There are people in this world, who from necessity become sub ject to the control at others, but instead of that giving an au thority fur cruelty, it should be a chant for . mercy and-benevolence; 'tumor-says, but it is hoped to be a mis take, that there arc a few, and happily but a few, who seem to think that they greatly magnify themselves by umeasured abuse, of their hired and apprenticed domestics.— They have, no sympathy for the Unfortunate creature's entrasted to their care, but Batter themselves that by severe flogging, unne cessary exposure to cold, and requiring more than proper and ordinary se•rice, they are elevating themselves in public estitna- tinn and showing off to great advantage; when in truth they aro only exposing them selves as unmitigated tyrants, unworthy to have a servant. Some of them, as ignorant and illiterate as bats, fancy that if they carry a whole fortune on their backs, they are "superior to all others, and souse= qucntly pride 'themselves upon their supe rior vulgarity of conduct to their hirelings. Altho' they belong to churches, take sacra ment, and would like to be considered saints, they are 'no betterthan theirlesit pre tending neighbors, and if they 'only knew what their better fellow citizens and Citizen esse.s think - and say Of thorn . , they would probably mend their Manners, and act as best becomes them. Altho' they haver. tine far gained an unenviable notoriety, they are not perhaps aviare that if they do not cease ther cruelty it is in contemplation to arraign them first before thO Vestry or Trustees of the church,-and next before the QuartorSes sions of the county, where they will have an opportunity of showing how much better they can swear than pray, and what sweet blessed saints they arc.
