The Scramble of the Demo- ) cratic Bummers for Office. “The Board of Aldermen Seems fo Be in Donbt-- Charitable Work of the Cream- City Ladies. Base-Ball — Personals —Social and Other Events—Politicians Still at Work, THE CITY OFFICES.- Special Correspondence of The Tridune. Mruwavkee, April 21.—The unsophisticatea citizen, who s not familiar with the workings of 1the machine, fondly imagined, no doubt, that, when the cancoses and cooventions were over and the electiona held, thé pulling, and tugeing, and log-rolling would be at an end. Baotnoteo. If the rontest over the city offices that are elective was esceedingly bitter, unjust, and fntensely partl- £an, the strife for the places that are in the wift of the Mayor and Common Council has been carried ‘on with a vigor and pertinacity, on the part of can- didates, worthy of the highest ambition. Woat encourages both sides s the uncertain political comalexion of the Common Council, and the im- poembility of conjecturing its acts. Both parties claim a majority in that body, but its action thus far har been 10 the effect that ueither can depend on votes enongh to confirm a noInination of carry’a ‘measore. True, it elected Gen. Hobart, 8 Demo- + crat, President; but the next move it mude was to select a Republican ak City Clerk. Nobody can tell who_will Ec coufirmed as Chict of Police. City Engireer, Chief Engineer of the Fire De- pertment, or as Health-Ofiicer. Nelther has any fellow been able to find out whom the Mayor I\'lfl name for thoee important oflices, and it is romcwhat donbiful if Mr. Black knows himself. All the old officers—Beck, Lippert, Lane, and Stearns—have been very faithful and efficient, and woala no doubt be reappointed if the Mayor could be left to himeelf; but there are so many. friends of Black who are pushing some other favorite for one or the other of theee places, that 1t is fmpossi- ble to guees what will be the outcume of all this worry., Practically, esach one of them Is far more important to the people of the city than the oflice of Mayor, becanse eechone has more to dodirectly with the order, comfort, health. and protection of the citizens. Much of the praise that Milwankee ets for its orderly conduct—or, to put it i the fellclwns language of Mavor Black, **the peace of the Sabbath reigns at miduignt, and the village- like repose of Milwaukes"—is no doubt duc in a large deorce to Chief-of-Police Beck and his vigilant force of nsmstants. Bot Beck has his enemies as well as his com- petitors. Besides Deck has not run much Arith the Machine, and nas not doue for the bosses and ring-manipulators ax much a8 he might with the force at his command. The average politician believes heartily in the doctrine that in order to be #uccessful you must succeed: ana he cannot sce why the whole police-torce sbould not be made an eficient and aggressive instrumental to fix thngs for *‘*our side.” It is not probable that Beck will be distarbed, but there is no telling. Next to Beck, the Health-Oficer is the most lively topic of dirpute at the street-corners, in the ealoons, and wherever else the brood of fledzed and unfledged politicians most do congreeate. The candidates are numerous, and their cluiws und qualitications quite varied, if not important. Dr. Stearns, who bas held the ofice for the past two yeurs, has doue o well in it, and manifested eucn fine adapiation for'the position, that it is hard to find an excuze for superseding him, cxcept that he has been sumewhat active as & Greenbacker, which is not an offensc agaipet the moral code, nor con- trary to the Revised Statutes. If the office is 10 be bestowea ax a reward for party servic it will certainly ¢o to Stearns, for it wus mainiy through his efforts (nat the Greenback ticket was withdrawn, and, if Dr. Chase and hix _colleazucs bad remained in'the fierd, the whole Republican ticket would bave been clected. Dr. Stearns has driven the small-pox out of the city, and, for the first time in scven years, there is not a single cage Teported. The City Engincer is aiso_on the gridiron. He has not piayed into the nands of the contractors 28 they think be onght to have done. ard they are clamorous for his removal. Whether they will succeed in ousting him. remains 1o be scer. lis encmies do not bring any charges afninst him_of inefliciencr, lack of industry or ability; oniy they ohject to him on the same principle that the fellow forbade the Yand at the wedding: ** e wanted the *girl himsclf, ™ Dr. Korn, the South-Side Assistant Physictan connected with the Board of Health, has sent in an application_to the Mayor ana Common Coun- at for the appointment of lHeaith-Officer, and recites his eminent qualifications therefor with a modesty and rimplicity that arc really _charming. Among bis other accomplishments for the eradication of emall-pox from the infected wards, und the elimination of sewer-gas from onr .dwellinge. Dr. Komn recites the fact that be is fa- millar with the German, French, an¢ Norwegian languages. This philolozical argament has brought ontthe scholariy Dr. Wignt as 2 candidate, who usedto break his father's steers, when at home upon the farm, 8o that they could be driven in six different languages. THE CITY FINANCES. The City of Milwankee ias not only shown fewer Sailuree, bankruptcies, and compromises with cred- itors, since the panic of 1873, than any other city of its size in the Union, but it shows a lees rate of taxation than nine-tenths of the others. Thix may sowmd a little Jike braggine, but the facts will amply prove the'afiezation. There has not heen “recorded the failure of o éingle banking fustitn- tion of any kind in_this eity, nelther pri ings, nor national, during ‘the past five years nor has any ench concern been obliged to wind up its business. The failures in busicess have mot been bad onee, and most of them have been brought about by canses quite beyond human foresight or ~control. The valedictory address of Mayor Butler and the inangaral of Mayor Black contdin a sum- mary of the financlal condition of the city that amaet be assumed to be authentic. The total debt, Jesa the Sinking Fand of §125.000. is 32,157, 2» on which on_ interest of $204,958 was paid In year. If the population of the city 1 125.000, the public_indebiedness is 8 little over S17 por head; which is quite Jarze enough 10 euit “our conserva. tive notions. and yet nothing in compariron with thie ratio in other cities. The whole debt is about 315 per cont ona very low assessed valuation of the taxable property of the city. Except about $500,000 of old_indebtedness, which was incurred 1o uid impecunious railraad corporations, tne amount ontstanding represents the cost of the city water-works, which 18 a debt made necessary for the eccurity of the oty azainat tre, and the comforcand conse- ence of its inhabitants, 1twill not be long be- fore the ncome from the water-rents will vicld a Jargerevenue. By the Mayor's address it is shown that the_taxes levied for all_purposcs in 175 amounted to the sum of _$1,055,906. 883 in 1870, to the snm of S1.009,675.56: and in 1877. 10 the sum of $056, 557, K9, ' The percentage of taxes was Iess in AS70 than in 1675, and Jess in 1577 than fu 3876 Daring the last two_ years over eight miles of streets have been puved; twenty-five miles of wewers constructed; eleven miles of water-pipe laid; five new rchool-houses built,—two of them largs und expensive bmldinee,—and two larec buildings parchased for school purposes. Largze eums of money bave been expended 1w the con- struction of new buildings for the Fire and Police Departments; 1wo new iron bridges have been bunt. andanew engine-nouso and water-tower conetructed. _Altogether, the condition of the city i smown to be &0 excelient. financially and every other way, that every resident hasgood reason 10 conzratulite himself thereat. lte popn - 1ation mukt be increasing steadily, i the 110 chil- dren born laxt week arc to be considered as a healthy s1gn of the thmes. BASE-BALL. No sooner has the small-pux been ersdicated from the city than the buse-bull nuisance has broken out and' taken the form of an epidemic: and, from present appearances, it has already got guite beyond the control of the Board of Heslth. 1f people who have canght the infection would only die of it, as they do of other viralent diseascs, there wonld be some hopes of its final extince .Hon by use of tue usual ranftary means: but it [a one’of those cases where death seldom brings relfef,—more's the pity.

' Last, but mot leas was the establishment of the Industria School for Girls, which has received such ample a1d from the city and State that its success and efll- ciency are assured. In addition to all these public enterprises, there is the benevolent work Which cach religious eociety has on band, —making in the asgrezate an amount of truly practical charitable endeavor that js hizhly creditable to the ladies whose industry and Cbristian pnilanthropy have devised it and made success possible.

Mr. Greeley wastight atter 21l ** The way to resume is to resume.” Not long ago, Mr. Camp, of tne First National Bank, st a meeting of the *+ Honest ¥-Money League, sald that he believed resumution wosefble on the 1st of Junuary, 1870. People amiled incroautously, but resumption is “already a practical fuct in Milwaukeo,—thanks to the passge of the Silver bill, which made it pos- sible. The Mitchell Bank has been paying out gold forsome dayswithout makinzany blow abont it,und to-day the Senfanel advertises that it will pay its entire force in gold.

The friends of Edward Sanderson tendered him a complimentary banquet, at the Newhall House, on Tucsday evening. It was presided over by the Hon. H. L.

FINANCE AND TRADE. The New Popularity of Government Bonds---A Dull Discount Harket. The Pr;:dm-:e-mmt Rother Moro Active—Pro. visions Firmer--Breadstulls Stronger, but Glose Tame. Movement of Produce During Last Week. FINANCIAL. The demand for Government bonds is increasing. Since the passage of the Silver law, an unusnai amouut of Government bonds of all denominations hae been taken up. These sccarilies have acquired 8 uew popularity. The banks are taking them on account of the scarcity of good paper, and the con- sequent difliculty of earnicg interest on their funds. Coneervative capitalists are buying them in default of other safe secaritics, and persons who bave earnings they want to accumulate are s1ng Government bonds instead of savings-banke. As'we have previously remarked, itis a mistake _for the Government not tokeep on hand here a supply suflicient to 611 orders as they come in for tne new 4s. These bonds are very popular with those who are buying for savings purposes. The local gold market rales higher than that in New York. The supplyof gold in small. coin, which is the kind in most demand. is short.and, as the Sub-Treasury has discontinued cashing New York gold certificates, acalers charge i of 1 per cent 10 cover costof transportation from New York. Banks in the interior aro ordering small amounts for the redemption of such of their circulating notes as may happen to reach their counters—a pro- cees which is suppused to ropresent the resumption of enccie payments, The applications for discounts were not heavy. Bankers doing a well-distributed business report that an unusual proportion of the paper they get iy In small smounts, showing that borrowing is done cautiously. Few of the banks have succeeded in placing a satisfactory amount of their loanable funds. The surplue is large. and the banks com- pete for what business there Is.

Governments strong. Railroad securitics firm. State bonds steady. The Stock Exchange this morning was the scene of considerable excitement; and for a time there were some wide fluctuations. The prominent feature of the speculation was Northwestern com- mon, which opened at 53%, and declined 1apidly, with aboat !4 per cent difference between each sale, until 48 was tonched. From this point there was a rapld recovary to 52, followed by a reaction 10 514, and an advance to 52%, with the latest sales at 52%3. This movement was rather unex- pected by the strect, and naturally attracted much ettention. The decline was accel- erated by the large number of stop-loss orders in the market, and as the limit of these were reached the brokers vied with each otler to sell, and more haste than judgment was exhibited. There was an effort made to protect the gtock, and after the flurry was over the gen- erul impression prevaled that the whole thing was ascoop. ‘The balance of the market was weak for the time in gymputhy with Northwestern common, and the dechne, wlich ranged from ¢ to L3c, was subscquently recovered, partially in some cases and wholly in others. There was less activity in the market in the afternoon, although the dealings werc characterized by a firm tone. Towards the cloge Western Union fell off from 83%c to 82!4c, but the effect of this on the general list was slight, and in the final sales the market was firm. Sales to-day aggregated 180, 000 shares, of which 1,400 were New York Central, 12,000 Erie, 35,000 Lake Shore, 6.000 Wavash, 30,500 Northweatern common, §,000 preferred, 00 Tock Island, 26,000 St. Panl common, 3,700 preferred, 6,600 Luckawanna, 1.700 Delaware & Hudson, 1,600 Union Pacific, 4,700 Ohio: 500 Western Union, 1,300 Atluntic & Pacifie, and 1,700 Pacific Mail. ‘Money 527 per cent, closing eusy &t 5.

The leading produce markets were rather quiet Satwday, and more irregalar. The early feeling in wheat was strong, owing to the more warlike character of the news In the morning papers, but weakened later, and other grain was easierin sympathy, when a rumor was circulated to the effect that the English and Russisn forces had been ordered to withdraw from the immediate vicinity of Constantinople. Consols were quoted o poluts lower, and wheat firm in Eoglund, but these were only street quotations, the British commercial people obgerving Good Friday and the day succeeding as closc holidays. Hence there were really no mar- ket reports from the old world, and in their absence the New York quotations were tess important than usual. Our receipts were fair In volume, and the weather more clear, wbile the shipping movement wus retarded by the fuct that there were very few vessels ready to load immediatcly. Some partics who were ready to ship regular grainsuffered con- siderable loss by this fact, as another !4c per ba storage was duc on such grain it not loaded before Saturday night. Provisions were slow and irrogu- lar, but averaged firmer, though welghted down partially by the low prices of hogs, which are just about 2c per Ib below the prices current one year 8go, beinga decline of 374 per cent, The demand for domestic and foreign dry goods was noticeably less active than on the earlier days of the week. Buyers were numerous, and in nearly all departments of trade there was genuine activity. Pricce remained steady and firm. Gro- ceries were moving liberally, and were 2gain quot- cd steady. There was & continued large demand for sugars, and, owing to the small quantity in store, the market was firm. Coffces and teas were moving freely ac fully previous prices. Nothing new was noted in connection with the dried- fruit market. Fish were in fair demand and were steady. Prices of butter ana cheese ranged sbout the samo as on the two or three preceding days, though showing a somewhat lower average. No changes were apparent in the leather, bazzing, to- bacce, coal, and wood markets. Trading in oils, paints, and colors was on & generous scale, prices ranging the same as on the day before, Lumber continues to be in active demand for shipment to the newiy-ecttled districts of the States beyond the Mississippi, and the peneral market for dry stuff is firm, the stock being much reduced and uncquaily distributed, thus necessi- tating more or less trading between yards. The receipts of new Inmber continue emall, and sell rendily to the city dealers at the opening prices. The wool, broom-corn, hide, 2nd salt markets were unchanged. Clover and timothy sceds were ecarce and firmer, under a little better demand, while the late scede were dutl, thongh dealers are flling a good many small orders from store. Pota- toes were in oetter local request, and fine stock was firmer. Poultry was scarce and ready sale. Ezgu declined aguin under heavy offerings. * Lake freights were in good demand and firm at 3 @3c for corn to Duffalo, the outeide being paid for small vessels. Room wus engaged for 40,000 b wheat and 377,000 bu corn, in addition to the charter reported Friday afternoon. Through rates by lake and canal to New York were quoted at 10¢ on wheat and 9%c on corn; ard 12@12%;¢ and 11@11%c for do via lake and rail. To Boston, 14!4c and 13t5c.
