The city Government.

The late Board of Trustees closed up all the
business connected with their official duties
last Thursday evening. The Trustees elect
we're qualified the same evening, and entered
upon the discharge Of their Official trust. Mr..
H. h. Flagg was elected President Of the Board
and A. II. Hanson was elected Clerk. Tho
members of the present Board came into office.
in some respects, under favorable auspices
The bulk Of the city debt which was outstand-
iag enc year ago, has been paid of, which has
Of course increased the value Of the scrip, and
with careful management it Is believed that the
expenditures Of the city can be placed on cash
basis BY another year. By the amendment to
the city charter, the revenue for the payment
Of the current expenses will be reduced some
three thousand dollars, but as the Trustees are
authorized to levy separate read tax, there
will be no necessity of making appropriations
out Of the city funds for improving streets and
bridges; and taking the receipts and expendi-
tures Of the past year as standard the city
will be cleared Of debt at the end of the present
year, while the property tax will be reduced
sas half. The present Trustees as private cti-
gems have long enjoyed the confidence Of this
community; they are all practical business men,
and We may reasonably conclude that they will
manage the affairs of the city in prudent and
economical manner.
Fer full aud accurate statement Of the g.
Hancal condition Of the city, and Of the receipts
and expenditures for the past year, we refer to
the nual report Of the Trustees, which will be
found in another column.

INDIAN TRoUBLEs.-The Oroville Butte Record
says that some six weeks since, two men, John
Cook, better known as "Italan john" and
John Kennedy, miners, after providing them
selves with sufficient provisions to last them two
or three weeks, started out from Coneow Valley
near Spanishtown, to go to point on the north
fork of Feather river, above Big Bar, tbeut if-
teen miles from Spanishtown. Since these men
left Concow, they bavh never been seen by any
white men, and from the reports brought into
Spanishtown by the Coneow Indians. it is sup
posed they have been murdered by some of the
Kemshew tribe. These suspicious having been
excited, several persons have attempted to reach
the camp Of the murdered men, but owing to
the high stage of the north fork, these efforts
have been thus far unavaiing; it being situated
en- the south side, and the usual way of approach
leading on the north side. The impression
among the people of Spanishtown being that
these men were murdered by the Kimshew In.
dans parties have been formed to search for
them and should it be ascertaned that these sus.
pcons are we'll grounded, a war ofextermina-
ton will Immediately commence against that
tribe. The agent at Nome Lackee should take
the pains to have these troublesome Indians and
those of the ConcOw tribe removed to the Reser-
vation. The Kimshews have given much trou.
BILE heretofore, and their annihlation or re-
moval have become questions of much moment.
To save the former, the latter alternative should
be reserted to, if possible.

IATKR PROM SoNoRA.-A private letter from
ydeymas, Sonora, to a gentleman in this city
'dated April lst, states that tho revolution in
that country is still progressing, aud it is diff
cult to tell when it will come to determna-
tien. The State Government have thought fit
to tax all tho inhabitants for the purpose OF
carving on the war against the revolutiouists
which tax will continue for Eve months. The
foreigners in Guaymas and vicinity deny the
power OF the Government to collect taxes for
the object of fighting each other. but the au-
thorltles endeavor to get over this objection,
by saying that it is not raised to carry on the
revolution, but every one knows to the con-
trary. The correspondent above referred to.
says that the foreigners there are resolved not
to pay this tax, and the French Consul has so
signined to the French residents, France having Q
treaty with Mexico which covers this ground

CoLoRED PEOPLE AT VANCOUVER IsLAND.--It
will be remembered that delegation Of colered
people was sent few weeks ago, from San
vraucisco, to Vancouver Island, to obtain in
formation as to the advantages Of that section
Of country for the residence Of colored people
The delegation proceeded to the town Of Victo'
RE, and have sent back Q glowing description
Of the eeuntry, and are much pleased with the
Political rights to which they will be entitled

Obtained on the island, of the government, al

and the balance in feur years by installmsnts

kindly received by his Excellsnoy, Gsv. James
Douglas, and most cordially welcomed to that

Trustees Report.

In surrendsring the charge eon6ded to them
one year ago, BY the citizens of Nevada, the
Trustees deem u proper TO submit statement
Of the financial operations Of the city govern.
msnt while under their control.
On the first Of May 1857, the city debt, ex-
elusive Of intsrest which had accunulated on
outstanding scrip. amounted to abeut four
thousand two hundred dollars. The debt was
contracted by the previous Board Of Trustees,
and was occasiOned BY the heavy expense in
curred in rebuilding and repairing the bridges
which were destroyed and damaged BY fire and
food Fer this purpose aloAe, the late Board
expended near six thousand dollars On enter
ing upon eur oficial duties we had every reason
to believe, with the revenue accruing to the
citk, that the then outstanding debt would be
paid OF, during the year, so that the expenses
Of the city could be placed ON q cash basis.
This result would nearly have been accomplish
ed had not the courts decided that the city was
bound To pay legal interest On outstanding
Scrip from the date Of its register until paid,
which increased the expenses something over
Ave hundred dollars. The debt however, has
been materially reduced. and the revenue ac-
eruing under the amended charter for the COM
ing year, will be sufficient to liquidate the re-
nainder, besides paying the current expenses
Of the town government.
From the report Of the city Treasurer, given
below, 1t will be seen that the total amount Of
registered warrants is ,245 rs. There 10 now
in the hands Of the Treasurer, $l64 So; in the
hands Of the Marshal, which has net been paid
over, 1920 55 on account Of property tax, and
$l17 7e collected on account of licenses, max
ing in all, s502 7S which deducted from the
amount Of registered orders will leave the sum
Of $742 81. There is, however, $349 in out
standing scrip which has not been registered
which added to the above sum- amounts to
$l,o9l 81, the present debt Of the city. The
amount in the hands Of the Marshal was mostly
collected during the present week, and will be
paid over to the Treasurer elect, as soon as that
officer qualities.
When the property was put mp for sale to
satisfy the delinquent taxes, the Beard employ
ed an agent to bid ia all the property upon
which there were no other bidders. A conside-
rable amount was bid in for the city, but the
most Of il has since been redeemed, the owners
merely paying the taxes aud the extra costs.
The taxes on the property for which the city
still holds certificates, amounts to only $45 so.
We give below table showing the receipts
and expenditures Of the city government dur
ing the past year, as taken from the Clerks
books; the report of the Marshal on the cellee-
tion Of the property tax, which has been care
fully compared with the assessment roll to-

final report.

PERJuRY.-FrAnk s. Malone, we'll known
citizen Of Sacramento, was arrested last Thurs
day on charge Of "subornation Of perjury"
A man named Parsons was convicted Of perjury
before the Sacramento Court Of Sessions in
June 1856, and II is for alleged connection with
this matter that Malone has been arrested. He
gave bonds in the sum Of 1900 for his appear
ance. The next day warrant was sent to Sar
Francisco, for the arrest Of Phil. B. Smith, who
Is alleged to have been contested in some way
with the same affair. Malone has been consid.
cred one Of the most respectable citizens oi
Sacramento, and his arrest has caused no little

EXODUS FROM SALT LAKE.-The Saints accor-
ding to telegraphic account from Placerville
are leaving Sal! Lake for another Canaan. The
intelligence is given upon the authority Of Mr.
Keyer, Superintendent Of the Plaoervile and
Carson Valley Stage Company. He reports

Salt Lake City, and that Brigham Young had
issued proclamation to the Saints to evacuate
the city and take up their line Of march south

they would not leave until they had frst laid

leave the city carrying with them whatever
was movable, that enc half had already gone
before his arrival and that others we're moving
OF in great number and in great confusion.

the flight Of the Saints commenced, have turned
