TEE mAYOR,s MESSAGE.

Mayor League has broken the ice, and,
in a message published this morning as
part of the proceedings of the general
council, gives TO Memphis the first au-
thoritative statement of his policy and
purposes. 1t is but justice to him to say
that it is a clear, concise and logical doc
ument, presented in plain language
and with comprehensive ar
ray of tabular statements, show
iHg the actual condition of the
city, financially and otherwise. He
shows US that the debt, including the
100000 due city employees and the Mic
olson pavement claim of T. E. Brown
x Co., amounts to S5,625, ,OSI 53, and
that with that claim as allowed by the
city, it is 81, sos, ,0Sl So. OF this 50, ,9S2,-
600 is bonded debt, S6O3, ,0Sl So floating
debt, 100000 wages due the employees,
AID $4,000 for Nieolson pavement,
rs claimed by Brown & Co., or Sl20,00o,
as allowed that firm by the city. To
meet this, we have assets amounting TO
81, ,54S, ,S13 O9, consisting Of S312, $50 due
10y the purchasers of the city stock in
the Charleston railroad, and taxes past
due amounting to S977, ,1S9 Ol, Of which
fully one-third has been due
since 1870. These taxes the
mayor promises to makeit his first duty,
if supported by the board, to collect,
calling in, if need be, the power Of the
courts, and the proceeds are TO be
ugidly applied to the liquidation of the
debt, for which purpose, also, the six
hundred lots owned by the city
are to be sold and the rents to
be collected from such lots as are
now owned by the city. The mayor
prompt collection OF taxes, and the pro-
secUtion Of all pending suits to a success /
fUl solution, though farther on he warns
the council against litigation, when it
is possible in honor to avoid it. He will .
foreclose the mortgage on the Gayoso
house, and collect the sums due by the 4
purchasers of the Charleston stock. He /
also pays his respects to the sinking I
fund commissioners, and refers to I
two hundred thousand dollars of 4
bonds issued without the peoples |
sanction. He makes a tabulated 4
statement of the recorders report,
and those of the police board and tax
collector, that will challenge attention, I
and that needs no comment. The /
Water company receives attention, and
his honor suggests the repeal of the
merchants privilege tax, and insists in
strongest terms upon an improved sani-
tary condition and the repair Of the
pavement. The gas company and the
wharf and wharfage are Overhauled,
and a strong recommendation is made
for a reduction of the latter. Mr.. League
is unquestionabiy an economist, if he is
to be judged by this message, wherein we
find this sentence: "No more bonds, no
Of permanent Indebtedness,
stop and pay" We hail this message
as an earnest Of Mr.. Leagues intention
to restore the city's credit, and govern
less as partisan and more as an up.
right citizen where the great interests of
the city are involved; and as such we
recommend it for careful reading by all
Glasses of our people.

RECORDERS REPORT.
The annual report of P. NJ. Winters, city re-

To the Honorable General Council:
GENTLEMEE-I have the honor to submit
Tor your consideration my second annual re-
recorders office.

giving in detail sthe monthly arrests made
during the year, the disposition OF the arrests,
the amount Of fines assessed, the amount Of
mittimusSes issued, the amount OF cash coll
leeted in court, the amount of fines remitted,
and the total amount paid to the treasurer for
the year ending December 81, 1878.
The total number of arrests made during
the year year shows shows I'd decrease Of shout twenty
previous. This decrease of crime in our city
can but be attributed to the prompt and lust
manner in which all offenders Of the eity's
have endeavored, by int1icting the severest
Of penalties, TO stop the almost prevalent
dicted to, namely, that OF carrying concealed
weapons. am using every means within my
power to abale this great offense, not only
by 1nnicting the supreme penalty of the law,
but in all cases have bound over the accused
to answer the charge at the bar of the crimi-
nal court. This course has met with the aim
desired, for seldom is it now that citizen of
our city Is arrested for this crime. would
most respectfully, yet earnestly, call the at
tention OF your honorable body to the import

thorities, would if we had q Workhouse, be

The result, at the same time, would be the
