relation TO the election from the town OF

OUR CITY FINANCES.
who is Responsible for Their Mis-.
management

Immediately after the entire of the pres
ent municipal regime, a finance committee
was appointed, said committee being COM
posed of eIeUen members, more than Ole
third of the entire City Council. The COM
mittee, of course, could not operate until
some power had been delegated to il by the
City Council. The committee therefore
recommended the CITY Council to re-endct
law which had expired
with the last administration and
under which the committee had conducted
the finances of the city for the past four
years. The bill passed the Board of Alder
men unanimously, but when it reached the
Common Council it failed by close vote.
Consequently, matters have remained in a
deplOrably chaotic condition, without any
power being lodged with the Finance
Committee, and the City Council Cor,
rather, the Common Council, for with
that body must rest the responsible
ty,) with no fixed or definite fnan-
cial policy. When the climax of financial
embarrassment is at last reached, the Mayor
calls both branches of the City Council to-
gether in convention, to consider the ques-
ton. A regular field day ensues, but no con-
elusion is reached. And thus it is that the
wOuld-be repudiationists have jeopardized
the financial well being of the city, and al
though they constitute small minority Of
the Common Council, succeed in clogging
all financial legislation.
Let us see what our financial condition
really is: There will be due ON the first of
July next bonds and coupons amounting
in the aggregate to S92,440. This debt
holds first mortgage on all the city's prop
erty, and must be met. In addition We
have already past-due coupons amounting
to 10000, being the interest on the Nash
vile and Chattanooga Railroad and Matt.
Brown bonds, $4,000 of which have already
PISSED into judgments.
So, on July l, 1874, there will be due the
grand sum total ofS142, 400, which must be
provided for in some way.
In addition to the above, there are $50
900 past due Alden bonds, with interest TO
the amount of ST., 1856 on the same, now in
the form of judgments in the Federal
Court. This debt should have been funded
before falling due, and would have been,
but for the action of the Repudiationists in
the Common Council, as majority of the
City Council were in favor of this policy.

Those wicked Haekmen Again

Complaint is made that the special Off
Ger recently appointed by the Mayor drives
tie hacLmen from the west side Of Cherry
street and concentrates them in front of
ths business houses on the opposite side.
They tlfus become a greater nuisance than
ever, by seriously interfering with trade.
The officer doubtless has his instructions,
bu. the authorities should remember that
license TO drive a hack Goes not carry with
it the right to obstruct the streets. A
haek-stand in some convenient locality,
oul of the more crowded thorOugh-fares,
would seem to be the only practicable plan
OF obYidting the annoyance which every
body suffers under the present loose system.

Diseases OF the BlOOd.-sThe Bloc isd
the Life When this source is corrupted,
the painful and sonow-producing effects are
visible in many shapes. The multifariOus
forms in which it manifests itself, would
form subjects upon which / might write
volumes. But as all the varied forms of
disease which depend upon bad hood are
cured, or best treated, by such medicines as
take up from this fluid and execrete from
the system the nOXious elements, It is not
of practical Importance that l should de-
scribe each. For instance, medical authors
describe about fifty varieties of skin disease,
but as they all require for their cure very
similar treatment, il is of no practical util-
ity TO know just what name to apply to a
certain form of skin disease, so you know
how best to cure it. Then again, might

lOus sores, fever sores, white sWellings, en-
larged glands, and ulcers of varying appear
ance; might describe how virulent poison
may show itself in various forms of erup-
tiOns, ulcers, sore throat, bOny tumors, ETC.;
but as all these various appearing nantes
tations Of bad blood are cured by uniform
means, deem such course unnecessary.
Thoroughly cleanse the blood, which is the
great fountain of life, and good digestion, a
fair skin, buOyant spirits and vital strength
and soundness of constitution, will all re-
turn to US. For this purpose, DIR. Pierce's

How Cholera REPORTS arc Spread

As the train going to Chattanooga met
that bound for this city, at Bellbuckle, yes
terday morning, one Of the men on the en-
CINE Of the former cried out TO fireman, in
a iocular Way Ouid better keep out of
Nashville, if you don't want to die of chol-
era Several persons were standing on
the depot platform at the time and seemed
TO think the joker in dead earnest. This is
doubtless one Of the ways in which the re-
ports about cholera in Nashville get abroad,
for that such reports are very current
throughout Middle and West Tennessee
there can be no doubt, in spite of the fact
that the general health of the city has never
been better than at present.

Hts Bonds Not to be Endorsed by the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
Railroad COMPANY.

The proposition of DIR. Lea, President OF
the Tennessee Central Railroad, that the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Rail-
road Company endorse the bonds of the
former, has been declined by President
Cole, on the ground that this could be done
only by the stockholders. President Cole
submitted proposition, however, that his
Company would complete and equip the
road from Huntington to Trenton on the
following conditions:
First. Trenton should Issue the remain
der of the 1000 stock subscribed, Milan
issue an additional $4,000, and Hunting
don issue $4,000.
Second. The balance due on individual
subscriptions to be collected; this, together
with the various bonds, 10 be deposited
with the Treasurer of the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and st. Louis Railway Company,
and held as collateral security.
1t is not probable that the foregoing
conditions will be accepted by the projec-
tors of the Tennessee Central.
