The suggestion was agreed to. and the

Public Printing.
Mr.. Shaw said he noticed in the proceed
ings of the Council, published this morning,
a slight error. The report said that on the
question of taking steps to raise the injunc-
ton of the Republican Printing Company,
he Endorsed the Mayor. The motion he did
make was, that the subject should be post
pOned, as he thought much more serious
and important subjects were before the
Council. He did not indorse the course of
the Mayor, although no doubt both the
Mayor and the Republican Printing Com
pany could get along very well without his
Endorsement; but he looked upon the whole
thing as tempest in teapot, and he now
moved that the whole subject be dropped,
litigation and everything else. The Attor
neys of the Republican Printing Company
had gone too far in saying that to pay these
few little printing bills, already incurred,
would he contempt of the injunction; ON
the other hand, he did not understand the
injunction to prevent the Council inserting
its advertisements in the newspapers. 1t
applied simply to the ordinary public print
ing of the Council. .....
Mr.. Lewis said good many blanks were
used in the Recorders offices, and On one
occasion during the SESSION. he applied to
the Republican and they could not do them.
Mr.. Shaw replied in that case the Admin
istrator could get the work done elsewhere.
and no action for damages would lie.
The motion to drop all proceedings in
relation to the Injunction was carried.

70 hundred thousand dollars, which bond
