The Star, which still tlaunts the Tammany
flag, thus comments on the last proceedings
before Judge Ingraham in the case of lnger-
soll the $5,OO00OO carpet-man, who is one of
Mayor Halls commissioners to construct and
furnish the new Court House:
"Practically the decision OF Judge Ingraham has not
affected the result Had he decided that Ingcrso must
be examined without delay, The O6piOus course for the
defendant 10 pursue p0ud hare been 10 decline TO dsper
Imprisonment for contempt OF Court would follow OF

unfortunate and amazing that by no con-
ceivable process can the men who. have taken

to take the witness stand and explain the
transactions by which our Public Debt has
been so frightfully augmented Mr.. lngersoll
holds most responsible City office, to which
he was appointed by Mayor Hall less than a
year ago. He appears to have drawn over
Five Millions of Dollars from lthe Treasury
for goods furnished to the City, whereof not
even One Millions worth can now be found,
though they were all supplied within the
last three years. Mr.. Tweed says he
declines newspaper controversy, but courts
a judicial or legislative scrutiny OF his official
doings Mayor Hall invites the Chamber of
Commerce to aid in making such scrutiny, and
complains that that body decline. The Com
mon Council selects number of respectable
private citizens to aid Committee OF it's own
members to investigate the alleged frauds. and
when those citizens, having discovered that
the City has been enormously plundered, ask
that the Committee shall summon witnesses
TO explain the alleged cmbr2zlements, tho
Council refuses the demand. Another most

We publish this morning full details of the
effects OF the disastrous gales on the Nova
Scotia coast and ON Lakes Michigan and
Huron. Great suffering was caused by the
shipwrccks on the sea-coast, and the story of
the survivors is pitiful indeed. On the Lakes
there was less loss of property, perhaps, but
that of life was much larger.

Reports from SOnth Carolina indicate a more

expected that the Ku-Klux would long stand
out against martial law, and. now that that

reported to be giving up before the publica-

Court HOUSE PARK.-We are glad to
see the move made by Mr.. Travis in the
City Council, for the Improvement of the
vacant square just east of the Court
House. Our readers will doubtless un-
derstand that this ground has long been
reserved for public park. 1t has near
ly double the area of any other park in
the city, it is in the centre of large pop
ulation, near to the business portion of
the city, and likely to be in more demand
for all the purposes which park sub
serves than any other Of our public
grounds. Itshould have been fenced, graded
and planted long ago. The importance
of having trees and turf growing in it
will be obvious to all, and we hope now
that this effort is inaugurated that it will
not be let up until something handsome
is done.

ANOTHER CoNcERT-Thc Independence
Musical Association under the leadership
of Prof Bum have determined to give
another concert of vocal music on Thurs
day evening, March I'd, on which occa-
sion they will be reinforced by the Cedar
Falls Philharmonic Society. This latter
association have long enjoyed the benefit
of the training of Prof Bum, and are re-
puted to have attained high degree Of
excellence The combination of these
two societies in one concert, will be the
musical event of the season. 1t cannot
fail to furnish feast of harmony which
will be nothing less than superb; worthy
of our patronage even if it were not for
the benefit of one of the most meritorious
of our institutions The programme on
this occasion will be entirely new, and
selections from the best music
of the day.

Who are the Liars3

EDITOR Enthusiastically has said
that only towards will avail themselves of
the immunity from reply afforded by a
court Ofjustice to attack and traduce the
characters of their fellow citizens. IwOuld

made by attorneys under such circum-
stances, for I might not be able to dis
prove it to their satisfaction; but when
they make particular charges, they (the
charges, not the attorneys will bear in

somewhat facetious letter to the Dubuque
Times, the other day, concerning the con-
stitutional trial of the beer law, and some
body else was terribly put out about it.

lows in their way, even if they did call
me liar, and it was very foolish in them
to be put out about it; but they we're
Jamison while pleading, under the kindly
protection of the court, on Wednesday,
said that either LOOMS or Hartman
wrote the letter, and that the writer said
the jury in the other case brought in a
verdict for the defense on the ground that
the law was unconstitutional. He thought
the correspondent was tremendous liar
The respondent-whOever he was
in abiding to that particular case, actu
ally did say that the jury drought in a
verdict of not guilty on the ground that
the law was invalid"-which members Of
the jury themselves claimed to be the ac-
tual fact. Evidently there was liar some
where 1t wasn't the correspondent, and
it wasn't the jury.
Woodward, following Jamison, said
that Loomis wrote the article, and stated
in it that both the attorneys for the de-
tense uere drunk, and he proceeded to de-
nounce Loomis as liar on the strength
ofit. He'also added the agreeable infor-
nation that man who will lie about one
thing will lie abont anything. cheer

the correspondent-whoc he was-ac-

Mr. MILLS LECTURE.-Our limited
time and space will not permit of such
review of the lecture by Rev. Mr.. Mills,
on Thursday evening, as its excellence
or the suggestiveness of its subject de-
mands Suffice it to say that it was an
able, logical and thoughtful effort, deliv-
cred with the fire and energy which
characterizes the public utterances Of its
author. We cannot subscribe to every one
of it's positions, but we cannot doubt that
it will have good effect in guarding the
public mind and conscience against the
insiduous and dangerous heresies recent
ly put forth regarding marriage and di-
vorce, heresies however, which in our
opinion are suggestive of nothing but the
warped moral sense and judgment of
their promoters 1t is no small compli
ment to Mr.. Mills lecture that a crowded
audience sat with scarcely symptom of
impatience or WEAKNESS during the hour
and three quarters of its delivery. This is
a severe but pretty conclusive test Of the
public appreciation of speech on any
subject. a
