TnE Citizens CoMnirrrr.-The Citi-
gems Committee, whose report aud
recommendation to the Board Of Alder
men fell by the wayside Monday alter
noon, have published card relative to
their action. They disclaim any inten-
ton to reflect on the acting Mayor and
Board, and say:
We knew that they were but recently
elected, and were in no sense responsible
for anything that had been done. ln-
stead Of treating what we had recon-
mendad with courtesy, you have only to
look az the discussion which ensued to
form proper conclusion. Comment Is
unnecessary.
1t is true we proposed that they should
take an additional oath that they would
not violate the special injuuctions OF the
city charter. An oath looking alone to
the requirements Of duty should have no
terrors for honest men. IL the City
Council will force US to make public why
in our opinions an oath was required, it
will be seen in their disregard OF a solemn
injunction of the law.
Section 26 of the City Charter is as
follows:
"The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
shall have power. to levy and collect a
special tax, for the sole and special pur-
pose of paying the interest, as the same
may become due, on the bonds author
lied to be issued for the purpose Of fund
ing and paying of the due debt OF the
city. The said tax shall not be greater
than may be necessary for the purpose
a separate account thereof shall be kept,
and the money received under it shall
not be applied to any other purpose
whatever. And II is hereby made the
duty OF each and every Board OF Mayor
and Aldermen, Immediately after or
ganization as such, to adopt an ordinance
| imposing said special tax; and until
such ordinance shall be passed and
approved, no other ordinance or legis'
lative act which they may transact
shall be lawful, or binding, or have any
legal force or effect whatever.
There is a law requiring the specific
action of the Board at the commence
ment of the corporate year, which makes
null and void every subsequent act Il
they fail. Without stopping to inquire
of the legal effect of said act, from iti
rendering, made by the law making power
of the 'land-everything that the Board o
last year-everything that the present
Board may do, is null and void.
In conclusion
The committee believe that by pursu
ing the course recommended, we shal
avoid the reckless issuance of bonds ant
city scrip, that in FIVE years the presen
due debt will be paid o6-the bonded
debt of the city reduced from 50 900, OO'
to $l,25O,OO0, and that by moderate
sinking fund the time bonds OF the city
will be paid as they mature.
If the citizens are willing to trust t.
the reckless action of this or any future
Board-and ruin and disaster come upor
us-we will try with patience to bear GU
share of the burdens.

son Topp, M. Magevney, W. B. Green

On Union avenue, two miles beyond

they seized and threw her on the floor,
apd one held her while the other vio-
lateA her person. This accomplished, she
was released and left unconscious.
The next visit of the scoundrels was
to house near by, where they found
negro named Lot Lumpkin. After
frightening Lumpkin by firing pistol
shot at him, they robbed the house of
pistol and some other articles, and dis
appeared in the woods. Yesterday at

A MIDNIGHT BRAwL ON MAIN STREET.
Over the Basket saloon, low den on
Main, aboveAdams street, several women,
more noted for the breach than the OBJ
servances of the proprieties distinguish:
ing decent representatives of their sex,
have a local habitation. The door lead
ing to their apartments was visited about
twelve o'clock last night by party of
soldiers out on lark, who insisted on
admittance. Ingress being denied them,
they induced a young pandemonium, in
the way of unearthly yells, and COM
menced kicking vigorously at the stub
born door. The police came, and after
more hard sweating than was ever accom-
plished by -Four army in Flanders, the
rioters we're compelled to surrender to
Serg't Atlee and his men. This morning
the ringleader was fined $40, the others
being discharged for want Of proof. Here
.ofore the military authorities have re-
quired the police to surrender offenders
20 their company commanders for trial
out by a new arrangement this class will
in future be answerable to the police
commissioners, like others not wearing
