TnE CITY Dssr.-Our German co,en, pora-
~. Der Dsmok-rat. is opposed to the pres
eat movement in relation 70 the city debt.
Although holding the city morally respou-
sibls fos the payment Of its actual debts. il
claims that the citizens here have only par
tally acknowledged the eesrsstnsss Of this
debt. And since the bonds are now in the
hands Of few capitalists. who have bought
them up at from Is to 80 cents on the dol
lar, il thinks that before the matter 10 ar
ranged, . vote Of the people should be had
on the subject. w
All very we'll, 80 far ~ il goes. bit We
cannot possibly see it in that light. The
present step is taken in good faith. A heavy
city debt hangs over Us and Il busdensome.
II retards, in certain measure, our pros
perity as city, and it is desirable 70 wipe
it out. Caution 10 needed, Of course, to
prevent missteps; but we have full conf
dence in the ability Of those who have un
dutsksn the management Of the job, and
We do not believe that one cent will be paid
that il no. rightfuily due. or course ou,
taxes viii, for a few years, be increased, but
tax- payers viii be benefited in the end, and
the vcxed question will.bc settled-s de-
sideratum long wished for BY many Of our
citizens.
PoLicr CouRr.-John McCallister, = one
legged man from Illinois, came 10 orr city
ia an intoxicated condition yesterday, ard
made himself obnoxious by embracing oil
the ladies he met on the levee. He was
taken in charge by policeman MulhGier
and presented to the court this morning.
The Squire discharged him on his prom.
ice to leave the city immediately.
Henry Williams. q pugiiistic gentleman
of color, went for white man Ia Heenan,
and was presented to the Court. The
Sqsirs thought his peculiar exercise un-
! called for, and gave him choice between
thirty days. board free Of charge, or pay
$2l.2O. He came down with his stamps
and departed.
The case Of Frank Brady was under ex-
animation At our tune Of going to press
We trust this sristocsatie scamp will g,
enough Of his offences this time, and b.
made to feel the supremacy Of the law.

On the 16.h Of last month a ticket was sol,
