ESTABLISHED 1910.
MAYOB


From our local columns it viii be seen
that last evening charges Of the gravest
malfeasance in office were presented
against the mayor before the general
council. That body, however, either
did not desire a full investigation of the
facts. or were ignorant Of the necessary
mode of procedure in such cases. Now,
we will not, for the present, suppose
that there is any man representing the
interests of a ward in this city who would
wish to smother charges Of this charac-
ter against a city official charged with
the disbursement and control Of the
entire city funds. Both bodies of coun-
ell appointed a committee of citizens
to whom these charges were referred.
Never before, We suppose, in the history
of legislative bodies, was such a thing
done. These gentlemen Of the commit
tee are among our best citizens, and II
they possibly could ever get the matter
before them, would undoubtedly do
what they considered right. But the
least thought would have told the
council that in these matters it is their
dstty to decide the case, and they can
not shirk the responsibilities Of their pO-
sition by appointing 8 committee of citi-
zens to do that which they have sworn
and are paid to perform. Besides, this
is q case where witnesses will have to
be summoned-and, in all probability,
unwilling witnesses-who will refuse to
come before any committee of citizens,
while, by section sixty-nine Of the char
ter, the general council is empowered to
issue compulsory process in these cases
10 bring witnesses before themselves or
a committee Of their own body. We
wish in this matter to do the fullest
justice. If he is guiltless, a full
investigation can do him no harm. An
honest man always courts inquiry. This
is an open charge against MIR. johnson,
setting out the facts with full dates and
names. The people who elected this
council viii not see its members refuse
a fun trial Of this case, full and open,
and before their own body, to whom we
ask, in the name'of our citizens, it be at
once remanded.

Special to the Appeal
LITTLE Rock, April e.--The senate
refused to vote upon the house joint res
olution to adjourn on the fifteenth, and
referred it to the judiciary committee.
Sixteen don't care if they never ad-
journ, they hold the sword Of DamOcles
over the head of the governor, besides
their per diem, which is not to be
sneezed at. The house bill abolishing
the Office of commissioner on public
works was indefinitely postponed. A
budget Of bills was referred to the ap-
propriate committees. The election
committee reported fsvOrably on the
substitute to Mr.. Warwick's general
election bill; also in favor Of the regis
tratiOn bill, and against the constitu-
tiOnal convention act. Among the bills
introduced was one establishing probate
courts, and another allowing coroners
salary. Bills were passed creating
| Faulkner county from the counties OF
Pulaski and Conway; also requiring
trains to stop before crossing other
tracks or drawbridges, and the great
railroad release bill, by vote of Il to
y. The minority report of the finance
committee on this bill was rejected, and
the majority report received. Motions
to recommit and 70 print were voted
down. MI. Duke offered an amendment
that it should not become a law until
submitted to the people and approved.
The amendment was ruled out of order,
and the bill eventually passed, amended
so as to prevent any further issuance OF
bonds. 1t will now go back to the house
for concurrence in the senate amend
ment. There is some doubt as to the
house eoncurring. The governor will
doubtless veto it.
The house was unusually inert tod W.
1t passed the bill securing mechanics
and labOrers' liens. The substitute for
the bill reported by the committee of
twelve, authorizing the issuance of two
million dollars in bonds to supply
casual deficits in the treasury was or
dered for tomorrow. The ILL passed to
pay the levee engineers employed on
the work. FOrty-one Democrats and
thirteen Republicans talk about causing
an adjournment by resigning and leav-
ing no quorum. This viii not be re-
sorted to until after the fifteenth.
Mr.. Pindalps explanation of his vote
on the house measure asking that Ar
kansas be allowed the benefits of the
bankrupt act, fills two columns in the
ArkGHsian. Such explanations provoke
the smiles Of the public printer.
Mr.. Reavis, the monomGnise of St.
Louis, is endeavor;ng to lecture here,
but fails to convince the people of Little
Rock that st. Louis Is, or is to be, the
largest capital city of North America.

FROM san Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, April "A dispatch
from Portland, Oregon, tonight, says
that Joseph's band of Nesperces
Indians held a council with SHperinten-
dent Odeneneal and told him they would
not go to the reservation, but remain in
Willowa valley, and will allow no
whites to settle there. Yreka dispatches
of April 9th says that Boston Charley
visited the camp with message from
Jack, requesting Candy and Gillem to
meet him at Lavabed for another talk.
The offer was declined, together with
others of a similar character, the COM
missioners fearing treachery. Jack told
them to meet him on equal terms, or not
talk any more. Yesterday april 8th),
Colonel Mason moved his forces closer to
Captain Jack, and said that Jack must
meet him, with five men on each side,
ON the following day. The commission
ers agree to make one more effort for
peace, and state that the final PROPOSE
tion will be the surrender Of Lavabed.
On Monday several officers of Los An
gelos went In pursuit of Mexican des-
perado named Miguel Bal, and found
him concealed In the mountains. He
refused 10 surrender, when the officers
fired upon him. Bal returned the fire.

The Vienna Scandal.

Gen. Grant and his Cabinet so pleasuring about
the country, aud the national reputation suffers
from the corrupt and dishonorable men who are
appointed to office, whose claims TO such posi-
tiOns are not founded on merit and high standing,
but most probably upon sonle ObseQuIous Stten-
lion paIa 10 tue Oifcld pleasure seekers.
Tue result is The disgrace oil the country and
the necessity iVr such Criticisms as tue following
from The New YORK Tribune, of latc date, Ou
the Vienna Scandal:
Tine uIscuAIgc Of he United States Vienna
Exposition Commission conpcls US to see how
lmpO>siO Z II is 10 keep clean any department Ot
the Government. The thail OF corruption Is over
all
This is oiscoumging and most disgraceiul
piece OF business. Heretofore, with the eX-
ccption OF some unfortunate diplomatic appoint
ments, We have been able TO keep cur worst
scandals at home But iu this case, one OF the
most briuisnta conspicuous capitals OF Europe,
crowded just now with the Representatives OF
every nation, art, industry, and government in
The civilized world, has been selected as the place
for the exhibition of our official corruption and
cupdty. Ii is a national disgrace. SO far, the
share OF our Administration in the Vienna EX-
position is not creditable but it must he agreed
that it is characteristic. The chief pity OF the
thing is that 1t should have been carly and
splcuously made For one part OF this miserable
business We are thankful The State Department
did not hush up the scandal, but suspended the
entire Commission, as soou the truth was
iairy apparent. Very probably several Of these
gentlemen are guilucss OF amy MrOng-dOing We
do not believe that Gen. Van Buren, himself eau,
by any possibility, have been guilty Of worse than
CareleSsness. Easy. DING, popular aud fond Of
popularity, little given TO severe or critical judg-
Inent Of mems characters, he has doubtless been
the victim ofimpositions by less scrupulOus mer-
Is not credible that lie eau have stopped 10 per
sonal dishO1OT. OF Others OF the Commission as
much, We trust, may be fairly said and If SO, we
shall certainly hear OF il. But the great shame
has been discovered and bruited abroad The
story, a. far as it is told, is a shameful one it
only proves what has 50 often been asserted and
80 olten contradicted-that our governmental
system has become taiuted throughout with cor
ruption. When an honorary Commission TO an
Exposition OF the Worlds Industry Is made a
means OF low political chcane and vulgar job
berry, what must DC true of official trusts at
home?

1t is estimated by curious individual who has
given the sunlse' close attention, that IN large
cities like Phiadelpeia and New York every other
man has at one time or another had his pocket
picked, and that not one IN ten reeOvers that por-
tion Of the contents valueless to the thief, but
probably immensely valuable to tie owner 1t is
in view of this, we presume, that the Tribune ad-
vises all persons to wEte their names and address

some years Since. Six months after the robbery
