at is a rule Of universal application
that no trustee shall be allowed to enter
into engagements in which he has, 81
a have, a personal interest conflicting
or which may possibly conflict. with the
interests Of those whom he is hound by
fduciary obligations to protect"
The above is taken from legal quota
tions, given in the N. Y. Tribune. against
directors, or trustees of a corporation
or other person giving to themselves
contracts, or the buying of any property
for which they may be acting as trustee.
Does this apply to the manner in which
our Ferry was let? Has any member
of our Council the right to vote to him
self a contract? If so, the above "ruIe
of universal application" amounts to
nothing this far west if this rule is sap
plicable TO our Council, the Ferry has
not been let, and, although it is being
run, the present contractor cannot bind
himself to a contract to himself. Where
Is the legal light of the Council.

Quite a rich scene occurred on our
leYee last Saturday afternoon, as the
steamer Colorado which had on board
the 18th Missouri. who are on their way
TO the plains-landed 20 put of some
freight. A Mrs. Brown, living en- the
Missouri side, hearing that the regiment
was on this boat, came over to see her
husband. who had been absent four years,
and now belongs to the 18th Mo. but.
on reaching this side The Colorado had
showed of. The gentIemanly command
er of the Colorado again landed in order
lo let this long separated couple meet,
when, after a brief space, the Colonel
ordered Brown back, stating hat he
had no power to grant him a furlough,
and, as the boat was about 10 shove of,
he caught hold of Brown to pull him on
board, but Mrs. Brown-determined on
having her forlough-suddenly jerked
her husband from the Colonel's grasp,
and the boat started minus one private.
Seldom has our levee re-echoed such
loud and prolonged cheering as went up,
from soldiers and citizens, as Mrs. Brown
bore Of in triumph her captured lord.
