for services rendered him not many
weeks since, as is contained IN the petu-
lent words that opposition TO "a pet

his position, or however seemingly safe
ia bis own esteem from public account
ability, esn long escape a press deter
mined upon d .scoyeTing his weaknesses,
his follies or his faults. The press Of the
city in opposing this sale OF the city's
railroad bonds but consulted the public
determination and it was by their su-
thority that the secret meetings Of the
Board Of Aldermen, for that purpose,
were fttingly and properly denounced
as star chamber proceedings.

NICHcEsoN PAVEMENT.

Toe question Of the legal liability o.
lots ard Loo owners for the payment 0.
the assessment, msde by the city TO pay
or the Nicholson pavement, came be,
fOre his honor, WM. N. SMITH, Judge Of
the Chsncsry Court recently, upon 3 de-
murrer flied il the cause by the defend
ant. The ChsucellCr decided adverse TO
the lot owners and in favor Of the con-
tractors; il other words, he oveTTuled the
demurrer.
This decision is Of great interest to the
people OF Memphis, establishing Sc il
does the authority Of the city,
under the law, 60 contract for
the Improvement Of the streets, and
assess the lot owners per front foot for
the same.
Il will now be a question OF interest 70
the people how to meet this assessment.
The work is done and, according to the
decision the lot or lot owners will have
20 pay for it. The cheapest way, to our
mind, to getTid OF this burden for burden
ii isl, viii be TO nay the assessment by
instsllments per month or quarter.
The property liable for the tax is,
il a great many eases all
that the owner possesses it will,
therefore, be hard for such TO meet the
pressing obligation, cave by the adoption,
with the permission OF the contractors,
Of the plaza above suggested. We think,
il the interest Of property-hOlders and
contractors, that this, the least expen-
sive, is the best wsy 10 adjust this mat-
Ter, snd We hope it will be adopted
promptly.

WHAT ARE GO0D AND s]UFFECIEsT
REESUESg

kEESJES!
The Mayor in his Message, presented
to the Board last evening, after announc-
ing Inc sale Of the eity's stock in the
Little R-ck Railroad, 80 far as he, the
City Attorney and Chairman Of the FL
nance COMMITTEES could make i'l, stated
| that this was done for two COED and suf-
fei6nt TeasODs:
FiTgf. Because the none It will bring
is needed TO pay debts that cannot from
any other known source be provided for.
Second. Because tie sale i1sures the
completion Of the road in one year, g.
desideratum not Othe. wise to be obtained.
First. With all cur respect for His
Honor we must say hat these
amount to Just 70 TesOns at all.
For if he and the Board will ex-
ereise the authority vested in them By
the charter and ordinances, IS well as
| State laws, and collect the delinquent
taxes amounting to $3.50. COO now past
due by the parties TO whom he alludes as
" largely indebted to the city" our press
ing debts csn more than be provided for.
SecOnd-As to the completion Of the
Little Rock Railroad, we fail TO r~eaiiza,
and the public will fail to realize, why
it is that so desirable 81 end
can be most speedily socom-
piished by Memphis selling her stock in
that enterprise. The arguments that
we're used to procure e subscription o.
stock from ;les in the inception Of the
undertaking are as pressing to-day 50
they were then. Again, this sale Is not
necessary, for the second reason assigned
by the Mayor, iassmueh as Zee speedy
completion Of the road has already been
guaranteed By the subscription Of the
State If Arkansas, amounting to
81, 100000 which, together with
$50, 600 acres OF land, $4,000 doe
this road by the United States. and
$4,000 offTst mortgage bonds, is what,
after all, is " In sight" for the contract
ors. we repeat, there is no necessity for
the sale Of this stock and the people OF
Memphis will hold 10 * strict accounts-
1llity ~(naTToWLy scanning the req
soma for such action all who vote
for il. The interests. The trae
