THE CITY's FINANCES.

The financial affairs of the City
of Dallas are in IL most embarrassed
condition. For months our City
Fathers have laborcd to develop
some plan whereby to cxtricate her,
but 80 far, with but Indifferent sue
cess. At u meeting Of the Council,
on Tuesday evening, the following
resolution was introduced and re-
ferred, jointly, to the Committee on
Ways and Means and Finance:
Resolved, That the committees on
finance and ways and means be jointly
requested to inquire into the
expediency of issuing, by the city gov
ernment, treasury warrants or bills re-
ceivable, not exceeding twenty-five
thousand dollars, of the denomination
of one, two, three and five dollars,
bearing eight per cent per annum in
terest, which shall be received for all
dues to the city, and If they should re-
port fav0rably, to report 10y ordinance.
The HERALD believes that this
plan, with IL few amendments, IS the
proper method of relief, and the
only feasible one 50 far presented.
Among the amendments THE HER.
AID would suggest are that the GER
titicates, bills or bonds be issued in
denominations Of fifty cents, one dol
lar and two dollars, and made re-
ceivablc for only certain proportion
of dues to the city, say two-thirds
of all classes of dpes, the remaining
amount to be collected in United
States currency. The amount col
lccted in currency to be divided so
as to, first, meet the interest on the
bonded debt Of the city; second, to
create IL sinking fund that will
absorb the face of the bonds in
twenty-five years; and lastly, to
create reserve fund that will ena-
bic the city to retire quarterly a
portion of tho Treasury War
rants"
Our merchants would, no doubt,
receive such a circulating medium, so
based, in exchange for goods, at but
II slight discount below its face
value. By this means a vast saving
could be made to the city, and the
present ruinous policy Of purchas-
ing on credit or paying two prices
in deprecated scrip could be dis
pensed with. The HERALD would
like to hear from the business men
and citizens upon this subject. 1t
is most important, and one in which
every citizen is vitality interested.
The present scheme, as before
stated, il the most feasible one yet
presented, and The HERALD will
urge its adoption unless a more
beneficial plan can be shown.

A correspondent u The Austin

connected with politics, with each
about fifty armed men, who arrest.

that the Sheriff and other civil Off.
GERS are either unable or unwilling

it is impossible to obtain iniorma'
ton in regard to either party.
"Hum is the word; they shake their
heads and say it is no fight OF

This condition of things in intol-
cradle, and It's the duty Of the Gov
ernor of the State to put stop to
il all hazards. We are not law
ycrs TO decide the exact measure
Of executive prerogative in such
cases, but if the Governor lacks the
power TO call out the militia, and to
declare martial law, even, If neces'
sary to put down such lawlessness,
there il u grave defect in the law
itself: and it he has the authority he
ought to exercise il nj once. 1t can
not be denied that in some of oul
frontier counties we have II very
lawless population. and it seem'
that that Of Coryell is fully entitled
to that designation. What few law
abiding people are there seem to be
completely cowed, and afraid to
make any attempt to maintain The

The Corscana Immigrant tells II
story which does not reflect much
credit upon the charity of that
town. 1t seems that Il iriendless
stranger, too sick to continue his
journey, was put of the train at
that place II few days ago, and not
being able to help himself, was al.
lowed by the people Of Corsicana to
lie in the sun all day, on the rail
road platform. Towards night,
when life was almost extinct, some
one bore him to the Mayors Office,
where he soon after died. We have
no doubt that there are some Chris

ing of this unfortunate strangers

Democratic to the backbone us
THE HERALD is, has been from its
earliest existence, and will continue
to be to the end, it is rather humil-
iating for it to have to admit, that,
so far as practical help for the South
is concerned, the Democrats Of the
North are showing themselves ut
terly selfish. They willingly fight
the Radicals any number Of hours
by Shrewsbury clock, and pour out
any quantity of indignant rhetoric
on carpet-baggers and "reconstruc-
tion," but when we say to them,
ave are ruined and impoverished.
You are rich and prosperous. You
have built thousands of miles of
railroad to connect New York and
Chicago with San Francisco, out OF
the public treasury. You have
given millions of dollars to improve
your rivers and harbors. Now do
something for us; we want q half
million Of dollars for the improve
ment of Galveston harbor, and we
want the loan of the credit of the
government, with ample security,
for the complexion of the Southern
Trans. Continental railroad to the
Pacific. In the one case your
members Of Congress gave us
the paltry sum of 100000, and,
in the other case, coldly turned
your backs and shrugged your
shoulders, and now tell us "itIs not
the policy of the Democratic par
ty to aid works ofinternal improve
ment."
As we said in q recent article on
this subject, we are tired of express
sions of Northern Democratic SYM
pathy for the South, which are be
lied at the next moment by denun-
Citations of every proposition for
practically lifting us out of the
slough Of despond, into which we
have fallen, through the losses ofthc |
war, and the cruel misgovernment
of which we have been the subject. |

nature is suggested for our benefit. |

wise in their generation, bat when
have they ever been in such cases ?
