WHEN BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS ARE EVIDENCE.
SRrT. 23.-W'illiaw Passenger against Gcorg. w.
Hojsr and Gilbert Graham.-The plaintiff sues de-
PENDANTS for carpenters work in making several
signs for the defendants, who are sign painters for
balance alleged to be due, amounting to s55 so.
The plaintiff proved by witness that he
MADE and delivered the signs in question to de-
PENDANTS but VAS unable to prove the value of the
work IN order to prove such value the plaintiff pro-
duceda witness who proved that he had no clerk and
the book produced was his account book-he also
proved BY three witnesses that they had had deal
iDes with the plaintiff and had settled bills rendered
by him, and that they were generally correct with
few tIifing exceptions, but neither Of them had
settled from the mentioned book above.
The plaintiffs counsel then offered to read In EVIL
dence the charges In the book.
Mr.. Anthem, for the defendants, objected on the
ground that there was evidence to show that the
plaintiff kept On honest book OF accounts.
The Judge sustained the objection, and decided
that before the charges In the book could be read In
evidence, IL was necessary for the plaintiff TO prove
in addition to what he had already proved that the
witnesses had settled therefrom and have uniformly
found them to be correct whereupon the plaintiff
discontinued his suit.

! The above figures show the beauties Of gov
ornamental fnanciering. Under the direction
of the city authorities a capital of over ooe
million of dollars was SO used last year
as to cost the city upwards of thirty-two
thousand, and perhaps this year the cost
will be over fifty thousand dollars. If this
is to be taken as a specimen of municipal
management Of public property, how many
millions are we taxed more than me-
cessary in the aggregate expenses of
the city? Add to this admirable specp.
lation upon one million of money invested
in markets, the same kind of management in
our water privileges, in ferry leases, in street
cleaning &C., which might yield handsome
income, instead of producing heavy taxes, and
The public have something upon which to form
an opinion of the perfection and honesty Of our
city government.
In these very markets, which have cost the
city so many hundred thousand Of dollars to
support, private speculation has made fortune
after fortune. In Washington market alone, o
business Of twenty seven millions is done every
year. and yet the city, furnishing depot for
the use Of this great capital, receives only an
annual profit Of something under $4,000. All
the other markets are an annual cost.
From these facts we draw the conclusion
acquiescent with the Finance Committee, that
the city authorities had better give up specu
lating, and let the markets be sold. There is as
much reason that the Board of Aldermen
should establish great emporiums for the sale
Of -four, bread, good city made clothing, and
for all other trades as for the sale OF pork, beef
and potatoes Leave this to private specula-
ton and it will be managed much bet
ter Every dealer must then depend upon
himself for his customers. and self-interest
and competition will lead him to associate with
his occupation cleanliness and convenience OF
locality. As it is now they are all necessarily
huddled together, and private enterprise is not
disposed to render attractive, or in any way
ornament, a ricketty old shed belonging to the
Corporation. In filth the law forces these
dealers and in filth they are content to
remain, the chances Of all being equal,
so long as they are confined in the
same sink. Now, destroy these markets
or sell them, and the result will be
as we have suggested above. Through the
spirit of rivalry, butchers will establish
themselves throughout the city where they
are most convenient to their customers.
Fancy little markets will be opened all over
the city, and John Smith, bound to Guido John
Jones, will decorate his stall with all that is
pleasant to the eye and the other senses, and
John Jones will fight back with the same agree
able weapons. Say what you will about wash
ing your steaks &c., piece Of beef tastes
much better of bed of flowers than il does
taken from amid the stencil and puddles of
Washington market. Let the present novels of
the city, dignitied by the name Of markets, be
destroye leased or sold.

markets Of New York have NO only for many

THE Cry MARKETS TO De SoLD-THE CASE
SUMMED UP.--There is nov proposition be-
fore the Common Council to dispose of the pub
lie markets to the highest bidder A few weeks
ago, at the suggestion of the Alderman Of the
Nineteenth ward, the Board adopted rcsolu.
ton instiucting the Finance Committee to re-
port to them what reasons exist, If any, why
the city government should provide especial
places and convenences for the sale OF
meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, and country
produce, while all other branches of bust
ness are compelled to provide for them
selves, and seek locations for trade on pri-
vate property. Also, to report whether il is
not probable that our markets would be con-
ducled more to the satisfaction and conve-
nience of the people, if left entirely to private
enterprise and private capital, than they now
ore under the guardianship Of officers Of the
corporation. And, also, whether the best in
terests of the city do not require the imme-
date sale Of the market property"
This committee, at late meeting Of the
Board, submitted long report upon the sub
ject matter of the above resolution, and after
an elaborate argument upon all the points
arising in the case, closed with the following
recommendation -
Resolved That the Commi sioners Of the Sukny Fund
