Ca To THE MAYOR AND ALDERMEN OF
Sioux City :-Haying had occasion with.
in the las. week to pay our taxes, we were
rs much astonished as every one else ap
pears to be, who pays taxes on city prop.
eriy,at the am assessed under he name
OF current fu nds which is so per cent. Leay-
Ter than the Co. Tax We have no obiec.
ton to being taxed for legitimate and
proper purposes, nor do we know tina, in
this instance the proceeds of the taxation
IL not so app'ied-on'y we can't for the
life Of us see it, md that is just what we
want to do and wha. we desire to know
The only Improvement that has been
made in the city, that we are aware of, i.
the grade on Pearl street, but this was
paid for oat of the tax known as the road
fund, and BY the lot owners on the line of
the grade. Then once again we would
beg to inquire wha. disposition is made of
this enormous curren. fund? Certainly
it cauno: be entirely absorbed in tho pay
mens Of our city officials, for we have
made diIiseat efforts for some time pas,
to find out where such thing as meet.
ing Of the City Council would be likely to
transpre, and have as yet failed of any
SUCCESS in this direction at all common
snrate with our efforts and "a we would
not for q moment think Of +. flec,inp upon
the integrity Of that honorable body Ly
entertaining the thought that it would pay
itself for services not rendered, we are still
entirely at loss to understand for what
purpose this fund is levied and assessed.
and to what purpose it is applied, but
above all-and here comes in the great
mystery when, where and By whom is
this tax levied and assessed. Certainly
not BY the City Council, unless they hold
secret meetings, Of which no one knows
or can learn anything; and if this las:
conjecture is correct then we are unable to
understand why the proceedings Of our
city government should he shrouded with
all tie privacy Of star chamber or in.
QUESTION, aud why it would not be rs well
fer the city, as i, certainly would be more
satisfactory to Taxpayers to have them
exposed to tae scrutiny of the public and
published in one at least Of the Two papers
which are printed here, and either of
which would be happy to do the work gratis.

Even the "Old Reliable" which for so
many years has made its regular trips in
spite Of high water and every other i'll
that staging is heir to, has at length failed
to connect, and now We are forced to fall
back upon our domestic resources for
material with which to run our paper
But our mistortunes are principally of our
own creating, and in a great measure
avoidable. Were it rot for that character
of western enterprise which can see no
necessity for removing obstacles when
they can be temporarily bridged which is
80 happily illustrated in the anecdote Of

when it did, it was too unpleasant to do

Glen. to break down, something of more
substantial character were constructed,
even at the hazard Of a slightly increased
present expense-we should not be so
constantly subjected to the Inconvenience
OF having our communication limited to
the first creek which has been swollen
above low water mark, (he height 10
which our bridges are Usually raised) or
having entai.r1 upon US the expense aud
trouble u rebuilding them as often as
there is slight shower or Il heavy dew
The truth is. there is really but one bridge
which may properly be termed such, be-
tween here aud Council Bluffs, distance
Of over one hundred miles, and that is not
the bridge over the Floyd, bnt the one
over the Little Sioux; and but one safe
bridge between here aud Fort Dodge, a
distance Of one hundred and fifty miles,
and that is not the bridge over the Floyd
e't:ss', hu. the one over the Maple in LA
county. But no county within the distan.
ces We have mentioned is more censurablc
i" the matter Of providing bridges than
Woodbury.. Even on its mos. .requen,ed
highway and within the limits Of its Coun.
ty Seat, The only means Ct crossing a dan,
gerous river is over q bridge of hardly
sufficient strength to sustain the weight of
pointer dog after winter among the
Indians.

ally discussed before the Lyecum on Mon
day evening last, and was finally decided
in favor Of The esative-.hat side having
introduced some " lrishifll examples " in
support of their position. The produc.
ton Ct practical illustrations into the de.
late was hardly regarded as fair by the
alternative, and the disputan.s on that side
sought to do away with the effort by ad.
ducing some living examples Of the truth
Of their theory, but were unable to find any.
The absence Q! the article sought for is
pretty generally attributed to the fact of

FROM NORTH CAROLINA.


In default Of news, the Yankees have
all sorts Of rumors about Sherman. One
statement claims that he had entirely
destroyed Cheatham's corps. The style
Of their sensation stories may be judged
from the following extract from the
Washington Star:
There is a report prevalent in town
that Sherman, according to statements
from rebel sources, has achieved great
successes in late engagements with the
rebel forces.
According to this report, Longstreet
had confronted Sherman, Hardee was
threatening his flank, and Cheatham had
come up in his rear. Sherman turned
suddenly upon Cheatham, utterly ami
hilating him, and then bounced in turn
upon Hardee and Longstreet, scattering
them like chaff
We give this as the rumor ahoat,
without being able to say what credit
should be accorded to it. Richmond
papers make no mention of it; but as
they are under orders to say nothing in
regard to military affairs, of course their
silence goes for nothing.

An act to regulate the compensation
of Government officers, clerks and EN-
ployees in the city of Petersburg.
An act making appropriations for the
construction and repair Of railroads for
military purposes for the year 1865.
The Chair laid before the House a
co nmunication from the President,
stating that he had now under conside~
ration an act to diminish the number of
exemptions and details, and asking for
the amendment Of two features Of the
bill, namely: The cxemption.of skilled
artisans and mechanics in the employ
ment Of the Government from all mill
tary duty, and the revocation of the ex-
cmptions and details heretofore granted
by the President, and the prohibiting of
the granting Of all such exemptions
hereafter.
Mr.. Miles, Of South Carolina, pre-
scented bill "to amend the act to d.
minish the number of exemptions and
Details" which he said would obviate
the objections of the Presidents mes
sage. The bill was considered and
passed. TT authorizes the President to
detail such persons for employment in
the several departments as the heads of
such departments shall certify to be in
dispensably necessary: Provided, that
the total number in all the departments
shall not exceed one hundred persons fit
for active service in the field. 1t limits
the exemption of skilled artisans and
mechanics to service in the field, and
not for service in the local defence.
The Chair laid before the House
communication from the President, in
forming them that he had returned, with
his approval, an act TO regulate the
business of conscription," and recon-
mending that the eighth section, pro-
viding for the appointment of a board of

A DRUNKEN VICE-PREsIDENT.

Andy johnson, the drunken Yankee
Vice~President, gets the following from
the New York Tribune:
Mr.. Andrew Johnson, our new Vice
President, is said to have been demented
by liquor when sworn into office, and to
have made senseless and discreditable
harangue in consequence And it is re-
ported that he has fallen into habits
which disqualify him for the high posi-
ton to which he has been chosen. We
fervently hope that at least the latter
and worse half of this scandal will prove
untrue; for, if it should not, the coun-
try will be subjected u the pain and
scandal, anu Mr.. Johnson TO the NORTH
cation, inseparable from lis expulsion
FROM Office. If he has become drunk>
ard, and does not promptly aad tho
roughly reform, he certainly cannot re-
main Vice President of the United States:
and if he has an earnest and intimate
friend he will be so assured forthwith.
The people may pity as we'll as mourn
his fall; but they cannot abide drunk
ard in his present high position.
