INcoRroRATIos.-The proposed bill for
incorporating the City of Phoebe, a syn
opsis OF which We published yesterday.
meets with much favor from the public,
though there are some whose opinions
are entitled to respect who are opposed
to any incorporation at all. The oppo-
sltion is based upon the hypothesis that
an incorporation will involve the city in
debt. With all due respect, We submit
that with the election of Board Of
Councilmen such as the people are sup
posed to be capable OF selecting from
among themselves, there is little danger,
particularly as the Council is restricted
to an aggregate of 5000 in the matter
OF city Indebtedness. We were first to
broach the subject of an incorporation.
and while favoring the project, we have
heretofore been willing and are so now,
to permit those who differ with us to ex-
press their views through the columns
OF the RECORD. AS incorporation is a
matter of interest to all, every variety of
opinion should be allowed free express
sion, and the matter should be calmly
discussed through the medium of the
press, to the end that the delegation
from this county be fully advised Of the
wishes Of their constituents. We found
no Objectionable feature in the bill to be
forwarded from here, and earnestly hope
it may become a law.
PRAIswoRTHY. - A subscription was
started yesterday in behalf of the young
man Mexican, who was so severely in
jured in the Peacock mine on Wednes-
day by an explosion. The handsome
amount of $342 so was raised for his
relief. This is praisworthy conduct on
the part of our citizens, and should ever
be remembered to their credit. Marion
Richardson and John Kilfoy were active
III soliciting contributions.
