Editors Of the IntellCeuces;
The following is copV of An official
report made to City Council nearly 90 TE tonr
months ago. 1t explains itself:
4b MS Honorable Mayor and City Council
Of Wheeling:
GEETLRMEN:-As required by section
90, relating 10 ordinaries and cofIee
houses, l would respectfully call your st-
tention 10 the following named persons,
keepers ol ordinaries and coffee houses,
as having been twice convicted under sec.
ton 20, relating to ordinaries and coffee
houses, for selling liquor on the Sabbath
day, viz: Here followed the names Of
three saloon keepers.
Yoars respectfully, EN-, DAVIS,
CITY Sergednt
RheeEIng, Dec 0. 1873.
The foregoing was referred TO the Com.
mittee on Police, who reported In favor
OF enforcing the ordinance against the par.
ties named In the report Of the City Ser
geant Tor ceiling liquor on the Sabbath
day, and offered the following resolution,
which wasadopted by Council:
"ResOIced, That the ordinance be en-
forced against the parties named In the
City Sergeant's report"
Section 29 OF tho ordinance requires
the City Sergeant to report TO the Coun-
Gil the names Of persons having been
twice convicted, &C., for tho plrpoS of
hGUtng such license Gnnuled. By section
83 1t Is made lawful for the Council at
any time 10 annull such license,
1t is easily seen that by the above sec
tton, what is the only action taken by
the Council in relation to the matter, the
licenses were not reU0ked, and It Is also
evident that st0orn dUtts have been ne
elected BY our Councilmen. Until Wheel.
ing can boast OF public sentiment that
will make such action oI Council odiop,
| fear We shall sec no improvement in
the city morals. TEMPERANCE.

The New City Charter.

Before this document is sent to Sac
ramento, it should be published, and
fully discussed by the people. 1t is of
too great a length for publication as a
matter of news, but we have offered to
give it to the public through the col
umns of the HERALE at a price that
will barely pay the composition and
extra press work. 1t is not at all
likely that any Office will be willing
10 dc the work any cheaper, and we
think the Council should either ac-
eept that offer or, if either of the
other dailies will do it for less, con-
tract with them for its publication. 1t
is certainly inadvisable to adopt new
charter without allowing the public to
know what it is, and the city ought to
bear a portion Of the expense, instead
Of throwing ii all upon the papers

Another Case OF Lost Confidence.

The New York Midland Railroad is
one of the new roads that have been
built during the past few years, on
the high-pressure style. Its bonds
were disposed of at ruinous discounts,
and the vast sums subscribed by mu-
inequalities and individuals along its
line were poured into the bottomless
pit Of its construction account, and
while officers and contractors grew
rich, the road is bankrupt 1t pays no
interest on its securities. The men
who managed it roll in wealth, but the
iaborers who did the work, and oper-
ate it, are literally starving. A month
or two ago, the wives of its employees
made raid on its well-filled wood
yards, and supplied themselves with
fuel. The telegraph brings us the news
that these laborers have struck for
their back pay, allowing no trains to
pass over the road, and that they have
even gone so far as 10 break open a
car and distribute its contents of
Hour among their starving COM
rades. The well-fed monopOlists
will doubtless term these unpaid, half
starved laborers, Communists, and will
wonder how they can be guilty of acts
that tend to destroy the confidence of
the financial world in the value of rail-
road bonds; but those who go below
the surface will be apt to conclude that
the spectators who have bankrupted
the company by their mismanagement
and maddened the laborers by with
holding their pay till they are on the
verge of starvation, are the real Com
munists and disorganizers.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-02-05
The Currency.

Numerous propositions are before
Congress, looking to change in the
banking system, but none of them go
TO- the root Of the matter. phe priv
ilege of issuing currency is a great
one, and has been so lucrative that
the policy of offering a bounty to
banks has been very strongly ques-
toned. The Government il the only
proper source from which our currency
should come. 1t should be uniform
currency too, every dollar of it just
like every other dollar, and should be
receivable for all dues, public and
private. The simplest plan would be
for the Government to issue legal ten
der notes to any one who will deposit
United States bonds in their stead.
The interest on the bonds so deposited
should cease, until the currency is re-
turned. Bonds bearing low rate of
interest and exchangeable for currency
should be issued to an extent equal to
the probable demands of the country
for currency. Then banking would be
rec to anybody who held one of these
bonds. There would be a check upon
over-issues, from the fact that the in
terest on the bonds deposited ceases
whenever currency is issued, and as
soon as there was more money in cir
culation, than the business of the
country could profitably employ, it
would be retired. On the other hand
as soon as scarcity of currency occur
red, the bonds would be deposited, and
legal tenders called out.

SEVERAL VINEYARDS in various
parts of the State have been rooted up,
and the ground occupied by them
planted in other products. The only
cases that have come to our knowledge
in this section, are where the land was
inside the city, and had become too
valuable for such use. still the value
of vineyard depends so much on the
character Of the soil, the variety of the
grape, and the manner in which it is
handled when made into wine, that
it is not strange that carelessness in
planting has resulted unproftably in
Some CAGES

for salaries, contingent or cngrent and
ordinary expenses exceed the amount
appropriated for the preceding year
they must be accompanied by eX-
planatory notes. All salaries must be
kept distinct, and amounts submitted
for additional employees must be stat
ed separately. The object of this is to
prevent the smuggling in of an in
crease of force without the knowledge
of the committee. The bill contains
other provisions calculated to insure
greater responsibility in the appro-
priation of money by Congress and its
disbursement by the departments.
There are still eleven sections of the
bill to be considered. The committee
will complete the bill early next week,
and will press it to a passage before
taking up the Legislature and the
Judicial bills.-fN. y. Herald.

Prospect of Genuine Reform in the
Making of Appropriations.

General Garfield, Chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations, has so
far progressed on the Legislative, Ex-
ecutive and Judicial Appropriation
bill that he expects to be able to lay it
before the committee this week, or
certainly next. The chairman, in con-
nection with this bill, has made
careful examination of the laws from
1776 up to the present time in refer
ence to the executive branch of the
government, and has carefully noted
how step by step these departments
have expanded in their functions. The
past few years, however, have witness
ed the building up of an establishment
of immense proportions and sufficient
to meet almost double the actual needs
of the government. The bill, there
fore, will be more intelligently COM
piled than has ever occurred before
and will embrace a complete overhaul
ing of the organization of the eXecu-
tive departments. The committee to-
day again considered the bill to revise,
consolidate and amend the statutes in
relation to estimates, appropriations
and public accounts, and FINISHED it
uON IL W Tic tNclpy -liltu ocSVlou. 4 bC
improvements contemplated by this
bill are numerous, and in many inn
portant respects are borrowed from
the English system. The stating and
classification of estimates, in anticipa-
ton of the bill, was suggested to the
Secretary of the Treasury year ago,
and this year are made UP in partial
accordance with the general plan pro-
vided in the bill. There are provis-
ions which will put a check upon the
appropriations frequently and ignor-
antly made, by requiring that esti-
mates for light houses, custom houses,
post offices, forts, rivers, harbors, or
other public works or improvements,
shall be accompanied by detailed
estimate of the whole cost of the work..
and all subsequent estimates for any
such works to show the originally es-
timated cost, the whole amount previ-
ously appropriated and the amount
expended, and also, where there is a
subsequent estimate above the origi-
nally estimated cost, the reason for
the excess, and the anticipated amount
must be fully stated. Where estimates

THE E1rosrRK OF PRIVATE THLHaRAns-

TIE EXPOSURE OF PRIVATE TBLKGRAMs-
As matter affecting the rights Of the public,
the Western Union Telegraph Company is being
pretty sharply criticised by the press for its
course during the impeachment trial, aud the
present safe burglsry trial, in exposing private
kilograms cOnfded to II for transmission. The
Grdphtc says Of the matter:
''In criminal trial which is still pending
snd which has attracted a great deal or atteT-
ton, large number of kilograms have been
put IN evidence These were obtained from the
records OF the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany. They were private telegrams and were
of course used against the will OF the persons by
whom they we're originally sent and received
Now, one OF the primary conditions of every
satisfactory telegrsphic service is that the teIe-
graph company and its subOrdinates should
bold absolutely sacred the messages connded TO
them. The Law Acknowledges the inyiOIability

and by clients TO lawyers. There must bs like

committed TO telegraph companies. And yet
