The following resolution Offered in the City Conncil last evening by Aid. Shaw was unanimously adopted Baolced. That the City Attoraev be and he is hereby instructed to commence suit gainst the Davenport t. 1'aul Kail road Company, for tbe purpose of repeal ina- an ordinance approved Mav 11th, 1870, as the conditions of said ordinance have not been eompuea vntn by the said railroad company. The ordinance in question was adopted in good faith even hurried through the Council under whip and spur, under the representation that the faturo welfare of the city depended upon it that the life of the I St.

P. depended upon it that the -work was to be commenced forth- ith and that tbe rights of the city were to be respected. Two years anda half bars been fritter ed away, and to this hour tt is not known that any particular line has been adopted by the company. It is certain that it does not intend to comply with the ordinance only so far as it find it profitable to do o. The manufacturing interests of tho Eastern jart of the city, the ordinance was framed to protect.

Lave betn thoroughly ignored, so far as anything has bseu done moreover, in the proposed location of it line It ha aimed such blows at the growth and welfare of cer tain portions of the city as to place tho people as a unit in a position of antagon ism to its acts. In view of these facts, and many other, the city authorities, for tbe protection of the interests of the city sought to. bo destroyed by tho company, have felt impell ed to tuke this step as th commencement of vigorous action in self defense. Not that it is in any sense inimical to the I). St.

P. Iiailroad, but pledged to its suc cess but when its managers, regardless of the public wel, and impelled by motives thoroughly selfish and mercenary, assume to override the will of the people throt tle some of the dearest interests of the city erect man-traps for the destruction of life and property, to the end that a few dollars may be paved io tbe construction company, it is time that firm and deci ded ground be taken on the defensive time that the question of paramount rights as between the company and the city fchould be determined. Davenport has no war to make on this road or this construction party, unless compelled in self-preservation to make war. Davenport greets the D. St.

P. road, yet is unwilling to lay down its life, or cut a main artery in order that the D. St. P. party may grow fat.

In this view and spirit has the above action been taken not that it has enmity to the road, but that it would have the road so built into and through the city as to do no unnecessary damage. Better far that there be amity and good faith established without serious conflict. Even as the company electa so it will be. GOOD, WOVE. Investigation is a good thing, and it was a sensible move on the part of the City Council to appoint a committee of competent gentlemen to proceed to Chicago to examine into tbe merits of the Babcock Self-Aoting Fire extinguisher.

Aids. Cock, Bunge, Laverenz, Scott, and McClelland aro men of practical good sense, and will perform the duty assigned to them thoroughly. We hear some objections to this movement the principal of which is that it is a humbug. This would besufllcieut.were it true. We can recollect of the time when tbe magnetic telegraph was voted a humbug; when the steamboating and steam cars, and railroad were declared humbugs when the oeean cablei was put in the same list, ana many other highly useful inventions were so named.

The declaration praved nothing but the ignorance and bigotry of men who denounced without knowing what they were talking about. This fire apparatus is neither an exper iment nor a humbug. It is a rather recent invention to be sure, but has been thor oughly tested. The email extinguishers are endorsed throughout the land. They ave saved millions of dollars in property.

The extinguisher on wheels is the same thing on a large scale. The invention is purely scientific, and we believe the day is coming when it will be as universally doptcd as the steam car and the tele raph. DAVEJiPOUT T. PAI COMMIS 8ION. There seems to be a hitch in the com mission business of this road.

Of thel umber selected some three or four were obnoxicfus to several of tho parties whose ands were to be appraised. In fact legal proceedings wore about to bo entered up on to obtain a charge. When the time came for the commission to get together some declined to appear and it is probable that the Sheriff will bring out an entirely new commission or one so changed as not to savor of nnsounding things in Denmark, ATr. French to the contrary notwithstanding. Dr.

Burtis was one of the blunt parties in interest, who spoke his mind. Mr. French saw that a compromise was invit-able, something worse, and an arbitration was agreed upon. Dr. B.

named C. S.I Watkin, and French, John R. Boyle they to select a third. This is much more like doing thugs properly. They have ten days to report in after which jeither party may appeal.

II. H. Smith has. decided to have his appraisal made ia the same way, and posribly others may go and do likewise. Consumers should use -from one-fourth to one-half less of Dooley's than of other Yeast or Baking Powders.
