that the party had only to be compact

We are glad to see that Gov. SCOTT is
confident that the Legislature, at tho
next session, will amend the election law
80 as to close the door against fraud; and
it Gov. Scott carries out, in good faith,
the promises which he made to the May
Convention, we shall be inclined to blot

port to the kn Klux Committee upon the

Another Phase or the Matter.

Thus far we have directed our inqui-
ries to the subject Of the legitimate cost
Of the new improvements proposed and
determined upon y.the City Council.
On that subject we have our opinion.
Wo believe. from what we can learn,
that the proper cost of the new City
Hall is not greater than $4,000, and
that Mr.. Allen. the contractor, receives
bonus Of 100000. This, however, is
to be proved or disproved. Upon the
City Council rests the onus of furnish
ing the test. We reserve, for the present,
an absolute and final Judgment in the
premises..,,. 4l,l8...
So.itoo. With regard to The now mar
ket. We regard it likely that- the proper
cost Of that building, is about $4,000.
If this be 80, the contractors, Aldermen
Smith and Simons, receive a bonus of
$4,000 This, however, is also to be
proved or disproved. and the rcsponsi-,
bility for the proof rests upon the City
Council. But there is, US we have re-
marked, new phase of this matter, and
we hope that the committee of the Board
OF Trade will ask for light in the pre-
misses. What about The ways and means

this city as to the right Of the City
Council to 'issuo bonds Of the city, and
that this question was submitted, be-
cause of the fact that the said capitalist
was contemplating the loan to the City
Council Of, $75. 900. upon the placing in

The rise Of golhis attributed by the
New York Sun to several causes. That
paper remarks that II is owing, in the
first place., to the fact that syndicate of
speculators are operating for rise.
Secondly, as shown by the advance Of
the rate Of interest by the Bank Of Eng
land, the stagnation Of tho European
money market which prevailed during
the summer has come to an end, and the
millions which were temporarily sent
over here and loaned OF two and three
per cent. per annum have been called
home. Thirdly, our imports are large,
