26 MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. PROGRESS OF aE ewan REVOLU- THE STREETS—THE LIQUID MUD—IT MUST BE REMOV- ED—REPORTS OF CITIZENS AND THE POLIGE—THE MAYOR AND THE SONS OF TEMPERANCE. The number of complaints on the Mayor's book and retu'ns has diminished considerably during the *ettwo or three days. The streets, as we have before marked, aré’ in a much better condition than they week ago, although Mr. Ebling has yet a great 41 to do before he can effect » thorough reform in his department. It appears that on such days as yesterday, when the mud is in a semi-liquid state, it is impossible te remove it from the streets in the carts employed by the street contractors, and that it is almost umpossible to find a cart tight enough for the purpose in the city. Now, as the mud while in this condition is as bad, if not worse, than in any other form, it is particularly desira- ble that it should be removed at once, and if there are really no carts fit for the work, then the sooner they ave provided the better. The idea of waiting for the mud to harden w a capita! way the contractors have devised of getting over the difficulty; but we trust the Commissioner will see that they provide the proper carts, and that the streets are kept clean, no matter what may be the consistency of the mud. ‘The following are the reports made at the Mayor's office, and the returns of the police: — REPORTS OF CITIZENS TO TRE MAYOR.

LOCAL POLITIC Adamantines Won't Fuse—Moeeting of the Hard Shell Committee—Speech of Ho “Face F. Clark on the Proposed Fusion. A meeting of the Hard Shell General Committee was held at Stuyvesant Institute, on Thursday evening, at eight o'clock, to elect officers for the coming year, and decide on an address and resolutions to be presented for their consideration. The attendance was very large, every ward being represented, with the exception of the Sixth, Thirteenth and Nineteenth. There were two dele- gations present from the Fourteenth ward. The large attendance’was no doubt due to the fact that the ques- tion of fusion with the administration party was about to come up for final settlement; but the adamantines determined not to fuse, and warmly applauded the senti- ments of Horace F. Clark, their chairman, in his denun- ciation of the softs. ‘The chair was taken by Buygamry 8. Harr, of the Fif- teenth ward. Pxrsr B. Swxemy, of the Twenticth, and Joun Y.
