But the demand that tenants who may be elected to sit at the Council, shall pay five hundred dollars perannnn, is unreasonably disproportionate. If it be acceeded to by the Legislature, men owning no property who pay rent willbeab- solutely excluded from the Council. And if this class of citizens—-and they are a very large class—are not to be represented at the Council Board at all, the qualifica- tion should, in order to secure the selection as the payment of

cjllors shall be elected by the vote of the whole city. We question whether the election of ‘‘ good men” will, if the propo- sition be adopted, be made any more cer- tain then wnder the present method

electing Councillors by wards. The only reason for having Councillors is that each particular ward shall be represented in the Corporation and be under the special super- vision and care of a responsible person. Ii this be unnecessary, we do net think we have necd for Councillors. The manage- not beyond the

and by one vote, elect one man to whom shall be entrusted the administration of the City during the year for which he is elected.

A Rensom Paid.

Colonel Synge and wife, who were re- cently captured by the Greek brigands have been released on the paymes nt of £75,000, sterling, by the Engiish Council at Saloniea. They arrived at Kairina on the 22ad ult. he story of the capture is as follows :—

Oa the evening of the 19th Feb., about nine o'clock, his house at Salonica was sur rounded by a band of thirty brigs led by the notorious chief, Niko. A few shots were fired at and Colone! Synge was ordered to surrender. This he refused to de, and attempted to barricade the dwelling. Then some of the brigands forced open a rear door, and collecting quantities of hay piled it inside, again summoning him to surrender, threat ening, in case of ‘a second refusal,to burn the house with its occupants. Resistance being out of the question, the Colonel surrendered, and was placed in the custody of fifteen brigands. After taking supper, the men explored the house, but did not carry away

any of the valuables, az they had been for- bidden to do so by the chief. Col. Synge, was ordered to follow his captors. A heavy snow was falling, and he was allowed to take with him his army beots and an over coat to protect him from the inclemency of the weather. Three horses were taken from his stables, on one of which - he was permitted to rides, two brigands mounting the other horses and riding on either side of himasa guard. Asan additional pre- caution to prevent his escape Colone! Synge’s hands were bound. Avoiding the village of Tricovista, the brigands cressed the river on a ferry, a short distance above the town. Several Albanian ferrymen at the place recognized Colonel Synge, and a fecling of gratitude for many acts of charity received from his hands caused them to re- fuse to ferry the party across. - Two of the ferrymen were simmarily shot dead and ‘the others were consirained to take the brigands to the other side. Mrs. Synge was taken charge of by the other squad of fifteen brigands, and followed the first party at a distance of a few miles,
