Our City Government,

As the Know Nothings have carried their city ticket again, we suppose we shall have no change in our city policy. We had hoped that men protesting different views would have been chosen to the council, but we believe such has not been the case.
 There is one act of gross injustice done q DOT tion of our citizens by the last council, concern ing which we cannot remain silent any longer It is in the power of the present council to do those aggrieved full justice and we must call their attention to the matter.
 Last spring, an ordinance was passed author izing the issuing of the city bonds to the Mem phis railroad company for S1OO,oOO; also anoth- CT ordinance for the imposition of tax to meet the interest upon these bonds. From portion of citizens this tax, onerous as it is, has been collected, and yet the bonds have never been issued. The first installment of interest is not due until SIC months after the issuing of the bonds. Why this tax was collected, and such an so tar fn aduance, is mystery to us. We that have paid, have lost the use of our money. while the city has not been benefited by its payment into its coffers. The whole thino was a piece of injustice never before perpetrated upon an honest people. a
 The money is still useless to the city. The bonds, for the interest on which this tax was collected, have not yet been issued to the com pany, and, the strong probability is, never will be. Why then does the council hold on to the
