Tho following veto message was then

To the Hon, the, city Council Of the cty Of
GIrrLrNxs aF'4lI,i ii1f
Herewith return for your further con-
sideration series Of resolutions marked .,
appointinRb special committee for certain
A. H. all II
defined and set forth In such resolutions.
l object 70 that portion OF the resolutions
which authorizes the committee to take
books of the city, not only for the pur-
ton they may choose 10 make. Such pow
or Is entirely unwarrantcd, dangerous and
subversive to the interests of the city. AZ
ter the committee has performed the du-
ties for which they wero appointed, they
should b. compelled not only to report but
to return oil books and papers belonging
to the city, 70 the city clerks ONCE, where
every one interested may 20 and SEQ them.
Tho present resolutions would authorize
the committee TO take and retain all the
books Of tho city, now or hereafter In the
custody Of the city clerk, and thus retard,
delay, or put an entire stop 10 the ordinary
business Of the city, ~ well a. withhold
thernffom thc nee Of any other committee
the council or the people who are interest.
cd, and who may want to consult them. I
cannot believe thst these were your inten.
tions In passing tho resolutions.
THOS. WILSON, Mayor.

The Mayor thon read the following
communication:
Also seturned for the reason that tho
| repatriation does not apply 70 sums Of
more than IS. Granting that the registrs-
l tion Of city orders Is necessary, the reasons
must apply with equal force to large ~ to
| small orders. There Is but an Insignificant
portion Of our city Indebtedness In sums Of
Ioss than III. and fail TO zee the necessity
Of embracing only such orders In the regis
trstion. II the city Is suffering from
fraudulent and counterfeit scrip, the
danger must certainly DO rs great in the
large as in the small denominations.
THOS. WILSON, Mayor.
The ayes and nays were called upon the
passage Of the resolutions, the veto Of the
mayor TO the contrary notwithstanding,
with the following result, viz;

Meyer, Taylor, Brankle, Carroll, Kleb,

munication:
Returned, for the reason that I under
stand that petition was circulated and
extensively endorsed by the citizens Of
Cairo, praying for the re.estab lishment u
the market house, presented TO the Clay
Council and by them referred 10 the Com
mittec:on Markets. That committee M
not Ms yet reported, and rs ! believe that
large majority Of the community are In
favor Of is re-establishmsnt, Il seems
proper that We should await hsal action
giving the people . fair and impartial
hearing before resorting to hssty and ar.
bitrary measures, to defeat their wishes.
THOMAS WILSON, Mayor.
Councilman Tsylor-Moss than five
days having elapsed since he adoption Of
the resolution and the filing by the Mayor
of his veto, the resolution became . law
without his signature, and I therefore
move tAss said veto message lay upon the
tsbls.
Tho ayes and nays being called upon the
notion with the following result;
Ayes - After, Barclay, Jorgensen,
Meyer, Taylor, Brsnkle, Carroll, kleb,
Lohr, Lonergan, Mckee, Mcndel, Theo-
bald, Wsldor-l4.
Nays--Fitzgerald-l.
Tho Mayor thsn read tho following
message.
Returned for further consideration for
the reason that the resolutions y unaccom-
panied by any report from the Treasurer
or Finance Committee allowing thatwe have
any means 10 spare In the general interest
fund that can be applied to the Fox
Howard & Co. fund With safety II We are
TO fall short in the payment Of interest ss
We probably viii the interests Of the
city would suffer Lees frO. tho neglect OF
the former City Couneil to provide sde-
quately for Ma Pos, Howard & Cos. in
terest fund, than 10 sllow other bonds Ia
