The People' Sspring Bed Bottom.
These springs are a most luxurious

used them. They consist or coiled
springs set in strong cross-bearers, aud
elaetic spiuce slats, (trom 5 to U, accord
ing to the width ot bedsteads) self fast
ening to to the spring uand restiug se
curely upon them ; and so has the dou

Steiff's iiANOs, The Pianos man
ufactured by Mr. Chas. M, Steiff, No.
9 N. Liberty Street, Baltimore, Md., are
so highly appreciated here, that it is
almost superfluous for us to speak a
word in their praise. They are superior
in every respect, manufactured ol the
most durable material, selected with
special reference to the influencs of the
southern climate.
Since the yrar fifteen hundred of these
pianos have .been sold to the South, and
upwards of two hundred and fifty
pianos have been supplied to southern
schools and academies, where they are
much used,and receive the best test of
their durability. Their new Grand
Square Scale, 7 octaves, have obtained
the perfection of this branch of manu
facture. They have the full
iron piate
with
patent agraffe, and
constructed Steiff
bar, exclusively
firm, which ma-
the ingeniously
patent agraffe
used bytrus
terially contributes tohe exquisitely
liquid and pure vocal treble, which is
eminently their characteristic and ad
vantage over all others. For the higher
qualities of 4eauty, fulness, roundness
continuity and richness of tone in bass,
tenor and treble range, that crisp and
yet elastic facility of touch and that sym
pathetic quality which is their crownS
ing grace, they confessedly stand unri
valled. -
Independent of their intrinsic merits,
there is a perfect neatness and solidity
of mechanical construction, contribu
ting one of these pianos an ornament to
any private or public apartment.
The large and extensive factories of
this firm, at Nos. 84 aDd 8G Camden
street, and Nos 45 and 47 Perry street,
attest the thrift, industry and enterprise
of the firm. They are prepared at all
times to till any orders with promptness
and dispatch. Their success is illustra
ed by the fact that they have carried
off, against all competitors, over fifty
first premiums, at 6tate and other exhU
bitions.
This house is agent also for the cele
brated Burdett cabinet, parlor and
church organ, a splendid instrument,
without any harshness or reedy tone,
and equal, if not superior, to the best
manufactured.
Meeting of the Disaffected Re
puulicans. Last evening there was a
metiing ot Republlct ns,disaffected with
the present administration of city
aflairs, at Metropolitan Hall. Mr.
lenry Keith called the meeting to order
by nominating Mr. James H. Enniss to
the Chair. Mr. E. took the Chair. He
aid the first question to be decided was
f.retorm was needed in the city gov
ernment, and in order to test the matter
would take the sense of the
house. He put 'the 'question, "is
reform needed.'' whereupon there
were two ayes. The contrary
oidc ol thu quaerian wq ntlt to a vntp
ind-tliree were about a dozen "noes.''
The Chairman 6eemed a little non
plused, but at last decided that the
'noes ' had it, but said that those who
thought that reform was needed had a
right to discuss the matter, and the
meeting would go.
Mr. W. J. Edwards was requested to
act as Secretary. Mr. E. arose aud said
he came merely as a spectator, and
declined to act.
Mr. Cornelius Edwards was next
requested to act, but he made no
response to the invitation. At last
Charles Hunter, colored, was induced
to take the position with the express
stipulation that he was not to be bound
by the action of the meeting.
The after proceedings of the meetiDg
were rich, but we have neither time
nor space to describe it.
Meeting of the Board of City

jouined meeting of t he Board ot City
