O1TY CURnENcI.-In pursuance of the
call of the Mayor, published in our CO.
lumns, number of citizens met YESTERDAY
morning, to consider the propriety of $.
further issue of currency by the CITY
Council.
y memorial of the principal merchants
against such issue was read, when, after
some discussion, the Council was apthor-
lied to issue $4,000 new currency, 10 re-
deem that now in circulation; and tho
question of further issue, if necessary.
for the redemption of the present currency
be referred to q future meeting
The meeting was very slinlv attended.
and the above action can scarcely be con-
sldered as the action Of the people of CO.
lumbla. 1t is pretty certain that the above
amount vii! not redeem the present cur
rency, and there is little or no money in
the city treasury. The wants OF the COM
munity and of the creditors of the city de-
mand an issue of at least So, ,OO0 A full
and general meeting should be held. to
take future action on the subject.
