The members of the Common Coun-
ell did one thing to their credit, yes
terday, which was not recorded in the

to which every Councilman except
one contributed, amounting nearly to
the sum required on the part of the
city. This shows the right spirit in
public officers, when they will con-
tribute from their own pockets rather
than be under the imputation of
squandering the peoples money.
The parties who We're arraigned be-
fore the United States Commissioner
on the charge of cutting timber from

over to await the action of the Grand
Jury. There is determination on
the part of the United States author
tiles to put stop to the lawlessness
which has been prevalent in this mat
ter of trespass for the past year or
more. Still, Mr. James, the Register,
informs that it is not designed to pros
ecute any more than what is abso-
lutely required to enforce the law in
this respect. While the authorities
do not wish to institute an undue
persecution upon settlers, still they
of their instructions, and they must
do their duty.
