The ayor’s Bill not so Great a Thing After All Frends Shown by a Comparison Votes, The Citizens’ Association Will Contest. It will be seen from the complete returns of the election on Fridsy that the msjority for re- crzapization onder the act of 1872 was very seaall, notwithstending the wholesale frauds that were perpetrated. This amounte to a demonstration that the tax-payers and business men of the city aro as a body opposed to & meas- ura whick it requires little porspicecity to dis- cern is very detrimental to their interesis, and whose adoption will throw our corporate affairs into a confusion that may produce great injury. Ls view of this fact, citizens of any public epirit wheisoever, who failed to vots, b was unususlly guict yesterday. Jamieson was present but for & short timo in the mornirg, sod Judge Dickey was too busy about other matters to intercst himself in any way sbout the pew charter. i not opposed to, but io favor of, the act is false, aad he who firat aceerted it koowsit, Judge cations for Bridewell paxdons, few, if any, of ‘which were grantod. The Aldermen dropped in one by one thronghout the day to congratu- late His Honor on their dearly-bought successes, but never a ope of them thought of reading up the law, and consequently no opinions were ex- prossed on the new charter, The whole conspir- acy was formed, maintained, and votod for the sake of besting HESING AXD THE CITIZENS' A880CIATION. Of this there can be no doubt. Nine-tenths of the Aldermen and other city officials rather boastingly acsert that they have never read the act. And ret. there can be but littla reason to doubt that a m‘fix:hn did not hesitato to perpe- trate the batloi-box outrages of last Friday, and even of yesterdsy, will not hesitate to tnfle with tho public cash. Asitis, the Aldermen are exult- ant over what they proclasim their unbounded success, ' The trick of supporting tho actof 1873 w28 not thought of by a single mao nntal last Monday afterncon.

Tuesday evening s m3a- Jjority of the Aldermen, and a few o:hers taken 1nto tho sport confidentinlly, met in an oai-of- the-way place in the West Division, and here it was first decided upon to support tho measure. ‘Why, net one of them can tell, other than that thoy prefer the sot of i872 to that of 1875, and the present city charter to both.

On. this platform, tho members of the Police Board will takeir staud, and if » 8how i8 given them, thoy will fight as Mark Sheridan knows how. He avers thatif any B3tompt is made to thwart him, or to aboilsh tho Board, or to remove any member of it, he will show his teeth in anythiog but s friendly man- ner, and if besten he will cast himself and his prineiyles npon the vote of the people.

The Remaining Games to Be Played To-Morrow. Bage-Ball in Ohicago—Spring Trotting Meetings—The Western Cironit. BILLIARDS. 5 BURLEIGE—XOA. The twelfth day ‘of the tournsment opened Sesterdsy afternoon with game No. 64, which ‘as between Barloigh, of Michigan, and Hos, of Louisiana. 1t was rather indifferently played on both gides. Burleigh, who is capable of fine worlk, did not appear to exert himself, and the contest dragged along to & tiresome oxtont. It was not eventful in tha way of big runs until the last inning, when Barleigh, who had €8 to g0, apparently determined to quit hin fooling, and made srun of just that number. Hoa plaved a smail game, and at the ciose had secured but 111, notwithstanding the inferior play of his opponent. The following is tho score : 4 BURLPIOE—S, 2,1, 0,54,2321 A e S S 1, 4, G—200," ‘Aversge, + 151, Hoa—9,12,0,0,7,220,0,0, 1,1, 23,0,5, 1, 0, 1, 0,6,0,0,6,1, 6, 61,3,511,1,3,%%5, 6,1, 1,7,0,0, 111, A 2542 ¢ imo—0no hour ¥ud ten minutes, RONING—CARTER. The next game was botween Honing and Car- tar, two of the Ohio representatives. It was & surpriee to evorybody. Honing, who had lost nine games, vanqoished Carter, who stood on 2 par with Rhines and Burleigh for the second, third, und fourth prizes. The fact that both bailed from the same State meemed to inspiro both with a fierce determinstion to win. It is quito probable that each was actnated by reasons to make the fight a lively one. Honing consequently piayed by far the best game be has shown here. In the fonrth inning he scored S1 by very pretty nuraing, and fol- lowed in the next with s run of 40. This placed him 78 to Corter's 42. A liitle while afierwards he scored 18, and then 'in the next inning 34. This put him 133. Carter meanwhile made 62. I'be Iatter failed to put in much work until the tortecnth inving, when he Tapped ont 46, which filmed 109 buttons oo his stnug.

The nixt{-aixzig and Inst game of the tourna~ ment regular series was next plnyed by MoAfoe, of Tows, and Liverman, of Wiscousin, It was easily won by McAfee, thougk: the Wisconsin man occasionally showed some spurts of very five playing. But while his round-the-table plays are excallent hie cannot hold the balls, and h1sruns therefore are never large. Ao palled ahsad rapidly. In the oighth, niuth, snd elev- enth innings he kuocked oat 100 points.

The Camel Within the Reach of Every Man.-Corner.on Hippopotamuses, In thess times, when money is scarce, trade is depressed, and values are inflated, it is cheering to see that a few of the actual necessities of life can still be purchased at reusonable figures. The price-list of wild animals has just been issued and reocived in this city. It is very gratifying, at a time whon people feel obliged to oconomire, to learn thatmany of the most de- surablo and nseful beasts and reptiles are lowor. You can get B 5 A GOOD, SOUND LIOK o for from $1,5600 to $2,000. Lionsare down. A great many paoplo during the past hard winter have been compelled to deprive themselves of lions on account of their high price. Some fam- ilios, not accnstomed to habits of gelf-denial, it i8 true, paid the largest figures rather than ba without liops, but the majority have been obliged to wait until the lion market was easier, Dut the prices which now prevail leave no excuse for the men who would snitably provide forthe ecomfortof hisfamily. With lions as such cheap rates, scarcely a householder need be without one. Tho father who would deny his bome-circle the pleasares of a lioa now, would make his wife take in washing, and bis children strip tobacco, - Evary ons will be giad to know that ELEPHANTS ABS BASIER. _Thuy are quoted from $2,000 to $6,000, accord- ing $o sizo. A neat, reliable elephant, suitable dor & cottage-house snd & family, can be obtained for the inside figure. The largest ones, appropriate for the spacious draw- 1ng-rooms of Calumet avenue palaces, of conrse, are much higher. * But from the wide range of prices everybody wili be sble to select s very Bood style “of elephant at a cost within hus means. ~ As the public become awaze of the fact that they are'no longer hold at exorbitan$ figures, elephaots will be restored to their proper place in tho domestic circle. No ons who makes any pretensions to wealth or social distinction will hereafter incur the tounts and sneers of fashionable neighbors by being without one. A single elephant will do very well for & family of ordinary aize and means.

A snow storm haa prevailea over the cntire line from Evanston to the North Platto. In some places it foll to the depth of 5 inches. It will make the transfer more laberious and un-~ comfortable. Everything is being done to re- liove it. Al delayed Enst-bound passougers and mails passed the break thia afterncon. more. f A GOOD PARLOR CAMEL oan be obtained for & mere song. The best ones can be purchased for $600. 'This fact will make them ‘unpopular amoog the afluent- classes, who will not look with favor upon any- thing =~ cheap, whatever may be _its intrinsic merits. The camel has his good points, bat he is erratic about his meals, and is said to be aa jutractable pet, as he gets his back up with no apparect reason. But the cheapness of camels will always recommend them to the humbler circles. 'WE ARE DISATPOINTED IN GIRAFFES.

Everybody requires 2 hippopotamus, 5‘ usbmm ‘may go_bungry, and sleep ina hard wife and family the comfort of a hippopotamus. Tven the poorand lowly cannot be without ono. What is hume withous & hippopotamus ? There is o good reason in this advance in one of the necestities of life. No information has been re- ceived of ashort crop of hippopotamnses. It looks very much a8 if this rise in price was the result of a ring, a di- abolical combination formed to pat up the cost in the face of agreat demand. If this is o, the base, infamoas scheme should be at once exposed. If there is a hippopctamus cor- ner the peopls shonid know it, aod. the sooner the bettor ; and the fiendish manipulators who would ruthlessly deprive the poor man of his hippopotamus should be held up to public exe- craiion and contempt. It may be urged that it is the Goveroment duty on them which makes thia advance. If this is true, then it is one of the saddest efforts of a protective tariff, and no stronger argument can be sdvanced in favor of free-trade.than this unjust, extortionate increase in the cost of hippopotamuses. “JMOVING-DAY.” Danburyan Thoughts on This Mest . Important Event. Danbury News, One of the most disastrous elements in & mov- ing is a small boy with an aspiring disposition. 1f-he carries aoything, it must be & chair, which he takes on his bead with the back st the front, 80 to prevent him from seeing where he is going, and, with the erect lega in range ot the chandelier and upper door casings. Thug equipped, he strikes & military step, improvising his mouth into a trumpet, and starts cat. Inles- than a quarter of an hoor he has that chair safes Iy on the cart where i is not wanted, and is hur- rying back after another. Before the carman has returned for tha second load, the one boy has developed iato oight, each boy with o cbair, each boy under feet, and each boy making a8 much noise 24 a planing-mill on & damp day. If a boy cannot geta chair to carry he wanta two bed-posts. He wants two.so he can carry one ander each arm. Then he starts down stairs.” First the posts crosa each other at the front and nearly throw him down, then they croes at the back, and -the front ends fly off st a taogent, ome of them digging into the caletmined wall, and the other entangling in the baunisters. Bat he won't let one of them go, -but hangs on to both ‘with exaspertting obstiuacy.
