We have uaged upon our citizens tho propriety
Of holding elections for the requisite officers under
the charter. and onco moro revising our corpora.
ton. The scenes, Of almost daily occurrence,
which are enacted in our town Of drunken, rioting,
brawling, and safeguarding. will be sufficient
to show our citizens the Prcpriety Of some imme.
diate action. LIE, those interested in the welfare
Of our city take the measure into hand, and dis.
pense with the salaries Of all officers except such
as may accrue as fees &c.--and apply the reven.
ue to the improvements 50 much needed, and it
will soon becons popular.


Our nsighboriug and sister city, Fort Smith,
now abors under the same Inconvenience, and
submits 10 the same wrongs, though not from the
same cause, a. hsr aiiissns have ordered elec.
,ions. aud have failed 1hrough the iisiag Of the
candidates for Mayor, thus leaving them with.
ou. the proper officers.


The former Mayor vas unpopular, and tho cit.
izens were much iuceased agans, him on accoun,
Of some Of his acts; such as passing ordinances,
and then acting as prosecutor, and claiming his
fee Of e5 90 from the transgressor. no matter
how light the offence. This porthy officer still
holds the reins Of government, and avows his inten
tion Of doing until his successor BE- elected, and
yet says bis successor cannot be legally qualified,
as the time has passed for holding elections. We
loox upon this as high.handed assumption Of
power for ono Of this gentleman's calibre; he is
not at all qualified, and We wonder that tho citi.
zens submi. to the dictum Of such creature
Le, them cleo. some respectable man, and renew
their powers regardless Of the fumings of TN.
