Merciful Dispensation.

The annual message of Mayor Haynes, of Newark, was given out for publication Thursday. In the course of it, after complaining that a suit ol the city against the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Road Company, had been settled on terms advantageous to the company, he says: “A few first class funerals, the subjects furnished from the officers and board of directors of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company would make room for a reasonable board, one that will not treat a city 0f185,000 inhabitants that payß them hundieds of thousands dollars yearly for freight and passengers, worse than they treat any country village from Hoboken to Buffalo. It becomes ns on all occasions to be reconciled to the will of the Lord. If in His wisdom He should see fit to remove some of the directors of this road, the city of Newark -would be perfectly reconciled to His merciful dispensation.”
