Pope Plus the Ninth and William Penn.
The Emperor of France, the King of Italy
and the King of Bavaria have hesitated for so
long q time in coming to a decision as to
whether they will commission special repre-
sentatives to the forthcoming Council in Rome,
as the Catholic governments did in the olden
time, that they appear to have lost the chance
of doing 80 even if inclined. The Papal archi-
tect has been along to st. Peters and exc
cuted professional coup d'etat on those
monarchs. The seats indicated in the first
plan as to be placed around the Pontifical
throne in the great church for the use Of those
foreign royalist deputies have been omitted.
The Pope has evidently been reading up the dis
ciplinary system in use among the members
of that excelently honest and moral people,
the Quakers, who, when they determine to
eject member for any cause from their COM
munity, just quietly place his chair outside the
door of the meeting house. No more fuss
about it, He was chad case" and Is ertr0
cothedr0. Plus the Ninth is evidently revert
ing to the system Of Solomon. He is likely to
discard the use of bulls of accommodation in
the future and return to the use of the plummet
and the square. Napoleon and Victor Emanuel
will please make note and come to the
'square," fright up" if they want to be in the
Council.

The Inyestigatisg committees Be-
mort.

We give this morning the last in
stalment of the Report of the Inves-
tigating Committee. It contains the
final summing up Of the whole mat
ter, and is worthy the serious atten-
ton Of every tax payer. 1t Will be
seen that the Indebtedness OF the
CITY has been increased over $50 600
exclusive of the S15O.00O issued to
the Henderson and Nashville Rail
road Company. This is a sufficiently
alarming fact to startle every man in
the city, and only confirms what has
heretofore been pretty generally sus-
picioned. The people have been
under the apprehension, for months
past, that Mayor Walker was ineom-
petent for the position he was
attempting to fill. The Report of the
Committee demonstrates his inca
pacity beyond peradventure. We
do not desire to comment at greater
length now. It is hardly necessary.
The report furnishes Its own com
mentary.
The citizens of Evansville are in
debted to Messrs. HOLLGNaswoRTH,
LEMoKE and DECKER, for the care
and fidelity with which they have in
vestigated the complicated and con-
fused city accounts. They brought
some degree of order out of the con-
fusion, and give US some idea of the
indebtedness of the city. For this
the people owe their thanks. We
believe the business men of the city
appreciate their labors and thank
them for their Investigations.

IF it should be argued that the
nresept Council paid out S42 300 on
account of the Evansville, Hender
son 4 Nashville Railroad the answer
is that during the year 1868, S43,301 70
taxes were collected over and above
the amount collected in 1867, aud II
that amount-$42 500--is deducted 1t
will still leave the debt Of the city
largely increased during the last year,
which will be still further increased
at the end of the year, as these caiea
lations are only made to extend to
| March 1st. 1869, being eleven months:
and during the last month OF the fiscal
wear the allowances are always large.
We reject Mayor Walker claim Of
credit OF some $40, 900 as assets, beng
charges for street, alley and sidewa K
/ improvements, aud think that the
/ proper time to estimate their value
| will be when they are collected.
The sum ct so, ,000, or there1bouts,
collected from old Evansville, and
misapplied, is debt against the city
and must be paid out of the. general
levy, either of the present or next
year.
The above is the result of eur ex-
animation, made under great Difficult
ties. and with but few facilities af-
forded US, and with the refusal Of the
Mayor to permit u. to see the book
ia which the bonds of the city are
registered, which book is presumed tC
contain schedule o. the greater par
of the indebtedness of the city.
Our conclusion. with the light at
forded US, is that the debt Of the cit!
| has been increased over $50,O00, dur
ing the last year, exclusive OF tn
bonds issued to the E., IL. & n. Rail
road Company.
All of which is respectfully sub
: mitted.

other item of expenditure appears in
the Mayors Report for that purpose)
then your Committee must infer that
the city is now under protest for non-
payment of part of its interest upon
railroad debt-the amount of inter
est due and pay able from April 8th,
'68, to March 1st. SO, being $20, 800 90.
Il. That if item 9, as set forth
above, is fair specimen and test OF
the correctness or incorrectness of
that part of the Mayors Report pur-
porting to give the disbursement Is for
the past year, to-wit.: Having dis
bursed or expended for railroad in
terest $20. $50 00-(that such sum
exclusive Of other expenditures, has
been expended, is presumable, as 1t Is
not known that the city is in arrears
on this head)-and having reported
only 81 800 90, then how much faith
and reliance can be had in the cor
rectness of that report. or any part
thereof? And what credit is there to
be given TO the much-reiterated claim
of saving, retrenchment aud Conse-
quent reduction of city debt?
All this only tends to show why
your committee has persisted so tena-
ciously to call upon the Mayor for an
exhibit of THAT BOND REGIsTER."
Ap analysis OF the Mayors Report, as
far as made, has shown such glaring
errors, omissions and inaccuracies,
that no faith is due to that portion of
the Report giving the am 7at1st Of the
CITY'S DEBT until the figures can
be proven by

We we're Informed by Mr.. ROCHE,
City Treasurer, on Thursday, that the
$1,000 city orders reported by Mr..
WALKER IS in his (the Treasurer }
possess ion, have all been cancelled
he seems to think that our apprehen-
sions with regard to the possible dan
cel of the city suffering loss by the
Treasurer holding orders and cash
largely in excess of his bond are with
out foundation. We cannot agree
with him. Should a fire at some
time destroy large amount of uuean-
celed orders in the hands of the Trea-
surcr, the confusion in the accounts o.
the city orders would become almost
inextricabIe. There would be no wa!
Of ascertaiuiug what orders had beer
destroyed, and the Register of Ordert
ace beiieUe that IS still jp existence
would be almost valueless. The tru'
way Is to keep the orders Cancelled VI
closely, AMI never permit very large
