D dlerk at Mayor's Office—Russell Errett. The selections of persons to fill the dif• Xerent city offices with the gift of the Ctauncils, has given satisfaction to some itml dissatisfaction to others. One Demo etat4vas elected by about a feet over a roaring, romping votary of coonism. This ploasee'as vastly; but as to the others we ~ ..oat t a t y but little. Upon the whole, the nu m elected are as "honest and capable" ea the nature of the case will allow. Poor Joe Barker wasn't elected Street - Ciitarnissioner ! This is too bad. Advantages of advertising in the Polt.' Sometime since a persin advertised some stray cattle that had been taken up, in one of our morning'cotemporaries, which boasts largely of its circulation.
