He don't own that road. And he even otfers
to bring any quantity Of coal over hrs own
road for any rival dealer, at less rates than
other roads charge. But they don't want
ane coal transported, at any price. What
they want is to have the people efFevery
town on the line put $4,000 each into
a road and then gobble the whole thing on
mortgage bonds or a trust deed, cheating
them out Of every dollar they put Unjust as
was done by the other Guyer scheme. The
people should keep their fingers ont of that
trap, and vote down all schemes to get them
into debt. There is deb and taxes enough

Cry CouNcIL.-The regular monthly
meeting of the city council was held last
evening. It was voted to open an alley
through Block Is, Lower Addition, if It can
be done without expense to theacits. A
committee was appointed tosassess damages
to the lot of Godfrey Plehn. The city mar
shall reported that the III citizens of the
frst ward who petitioned for the removal of
Alderman Shaw's slaughter house nuisance,
didn't know anything at all about the lmat-
ter; that it was not nuisance, and he didn't
want to be bothered with the matter any
more. A petition for the opening of Adams
street to the southern limits of the city was
received and, al, order passed to appoint
commissioners at the next meeting, to open
said street. Leave was granted the board
for the old school house while the new one
is building. Bills were allowed to the
amount of 81, 266, l0-among them a little
bill of s553,l5 for gas. How the radical
council does economize on gas! Another
little bill of sos was allowed Peetz for
boarding prisoners--drunk cases. The
marshal has q fashion Of keeping drunk ca
ses til after 2 O'Clock before he allows
them to be brought up and fined. This
gives Peetz two days board, and grabs more
money out OF the peoples treasury-though
it is notorious that they rarely ever get any
thing bat piece of bakers bread and tin
cup ofwater. But the people have, by this
management, to pay the sheriff for two days
board, besides turkeys fees, &C.. &c. The
police magistrate plays into the same ring
by sending every poor fellow to jail be can,
instead of giving him chance to go to
work somewhere and earn money to psy his
fine. IF he would do that, the city would
save all these big fees, and if the man didn I
pay he could be arrested and committed
If he left town and couldn't be found, SO
much the better, for we would then be rid OF
him and save the jail and board bill. But
that isn't the game of Highly, Mclaughlin
and Peetz-tneir game is to get all they
can out of the people. The council voted
to pay the marshal one-fourth of all the mo
ney he collects on dog tax. The considera
ton of the report of the committee TO open
Elm street was indefinitely postponed, and
the council adjourned.
