Indebtedness of Cities.

There are few cities in the Union so bad
ly embarrassed with debt that they find it
impossible to pay the interest, while one or
two are SO hopelessly insolyent that the pay
ment of principal is considered thing TO be
hoped for rather than expected. The cities
in this unfortunate condition are western
cities, and their misfortune in this regard is
attributable to those wonderful changes and
fluctuations in populations and values for
which that region OF country is somewhat re-
m arkable. Western cities for the most part
grow with astonishing rapidity, and some
times, but not often, decline as fast. The city
of Galena, ILL.,, is a case in point. Its debt
amounts to 100000 only, but it confesses its
inability to raise money to pay the interest
thereon, and permits the "mourners" who
hold its bonds to ego about the streets" The
cause of this failure TO meet its obligations is
the decline in its taxable property, the extent
of which will be appreciated when it is stated
that the city assessments amounting in 1857
to $685., 49S declined in 1868 to $44S, 911.-
One or two other Western cities in response
to inquiries concerning their financial condi-
ton, report themselves utterly insolvent, but
these instances are wholly exceptional, only
three out of sixty cities of note being in what
may be called an absolutely bad financial con-
dition, while the greater part surprise us by
the favorable condition of their finances and
ability to carry their Indebtedness without af-
fecting their credit. The Financial Chronicle
has statement of the debt and assets of the
principal cities in the country, by which it
appears that their finances are in healthy
condition, and such as to justify the growing
disposition to make investments in municipal
bonds.

AMONG the important questions which the
Supreme Court has now before it, and on
which decisions are TO be given, is one involv-

once been closed in State Court to United

from New York city, the founding child who
left himself ON the doorstep of Tammany
Hall, was taken up by Sweeny, the swarthy
bachelor, and brought up by hand at the
Pewter Mug" 1t is impossible not to ad-
mlre the freshness, glibness, ard, withal, real
force OF Cox, one of the happiest Parliament
tarlans who ever sat in the lower House. l

fict of jaw bones between Cox and Butler.

The Senate judiciary Committee made
modest demand of the President to submit
lor its inspection the letter and recommend
atoms relating to his nominees for the circuit
judgeships, but to the infinite qualification
OF the country the President "didn't see it,
and respectfully declined, whereupon the
committee submitted the matter to the Sem
ate for its judgment, but finding it to be over
whelmngiy adverse, withdrew its reference
OF the matter and contented itself with a
resolution respectfully requesting the Presi-
dent to give the Senate all the information
and recommendations he may have in the
cases of persons nominated for said offices.
The country regarded this demand as a piece
OF impertinence and evidences abound that
the efiectual snubbing of the committee is
contemplated with almost universal satisfac-
ton. ........---

swallowed up in the cavity so quickly that
TWO families living in the houses had not time

She fell on top of the houses and was rescu-

block had just escaped when the whole block
went down. There were ten persons swal-

BLOODY TRAGEDY IN CALIFORNIA. An
other shocking crime is described in the fol-
lowing dispatch from Stockton, California, da-
ted the 10th inst:
Five men were murdered in cold blood last
night on the Mokelumne old road, leading to
McDermott's Bridge, and about twenty miles
distant from this city. The murdered mems
names were Frank Medina, an Italian, and
his clerk; also an Italian, known by the name
of Frank: two Mexicans named Rosa rio and
Lorietto, and an old negro called Old Boss.
Medina has a country grocery at that place,
and was doing thriving business. He was a
man universally esteemed for his integrity OF
character Some parties living in the neigh
borhood heard shots fired last night, but mag
ined it was caused by drunken men. This
morning the store being found closed, and no
reply having been given to the repeated calls
of the neighbors, search was made in a gulch
adjacent, and the bodies were discovered about
three quarters of mile from the building, the
two Italians being found in one pile and the
three others in another close by. The hands Of
the murdered men were found bound with
cords

THE HOWARD BANK AFFAIR,--A careful ex-
animation of the affairs OF this Boston bank
shows discrepancy in the books and actual
cash of S66037.3 80. There is no doubt that the
bank has lost this amount of funds. but how,
when and where is great mystery. Mr.. Nc
Intosh, the book-keeper, at whose hands the
blame now is, solemnly AYERS that he does not
know where, when or how the deficit occurrea'
that he never took a cent of the money OF aiu-
ed any one else to, and that he iiau no acco!-
plice in the bank In the regular course OF MS
duties he had nothing to do with handling the
funds of the banks. He has known of the
dscrenoncv between the books and the actual
cash in the bank for about six years and his
wife has known it for about five years. He
has covered it up day after day and year after
wear in the individual depostors' accounts, hop
ing to discover where the trouble was One or
two small errors were found by Mr.. Ransom s
examination, showing rather defective book
keeping. The Directors of the bank have ex-
perts at work upon the accounts of the bank,
and are determined to find where and how the
error occurred. The unfortunate book keeper
has been connected with the bank about fifteen
years, and the examination will have to go
over the accounts of that long period. The
bank capital is all right, and there is still a
surplus of over $50, 900.
