Read 10 General Council in Joint session,
May 6, 1871
Honorable Board Of General Council:
GENTLEMEN - In submitting for
your consideration the financial con-
dition of the city, beg leave to inform
you that there are several cases pending
in the United States circuit court seek
ing judgment on account of pRst-due
BOMBS and coupons, At the last term of
the court judgment was asked for and
obtained on sixteen thousand dollars in
bonds, fer eighteen thousand five hun
dTed dollars, principal and interest. This
information has already been presented
to yOu in a communication by Mr.. Han
son, city attorney. 1t is full time we
shOuld commence to protect the city,
and with that object in view il is our
duty to defend these suits to the court Of
last resort, and thereby have determin-
ed the liability Of the city en- the bonds
which have been issued contrary to Law,
or for which the city has not obtained
sufficient consideration. When, for ex-
ample, we consider that in the issuance
OF bonds by the officers of the city,, be-
fore being eniOined by The supreme
court, for the last SCI, 600 Issued, the city
only received Sl7,7S9 II, being o loss OF
S49, 30 50, it is time to say to those who
are so eXacting that the city has rights
as well as individuals. The city of
Memphis has no authority to sell or to
part with its bonds for less than their
par value. 1t never had authority 10 do
so. But while this has been settled by
the supreme court Of Tennessee, the fact
is true that the city has sold in many
instances its bonds for less than their |
par value. Whenever it appears, beyond
doubt, that the city has realized less
than par value, it is manifestly the duty
OF the city government to the people to |
resist the payment Of them beyond the |
price or sum realized, or the price paid /.
for them by the holder, with correspond |
ing rate Of interest added. The supreme |
court of the United States on the Opin- |
ion delivered recently in the Nicolson |

Hon. John League, Mayor:
SIR-In view Of the magnitude of the
sums involved in the bond suits now
pending in the United States court, l
am constrained to suggest to yen and
the general council that it would be well
to employ counsel to assist me. There
is at least one million five hundred
thousand dollars involved No prudent
individual would trust so important a
matter to any one attorney, and I think
the city would not act wisely in accept
ing such q trust without expressing the
opinion that additional counsel should
be employed. The matter is already at
tracing attention from all sections of
the country, the questions involved be-
ing entirely new and of vast Importance
to all the large cities OF the country. The
city cases in the other courts occupy my
time SO constantly that l am doubtful Of
being able to give these cases as much
attention as their Importance demands.
l therefore submit 10 you and the gener-
al council that two able attorneys should
he employed, upon such terms as you
and they may think proper, Respect
fully, G. a, HANSON,
City Attorney.
The finance committee recommend
that the following resolution be adopted:
ResO1Ued, That the mayor and city at
tOrney be, and are hereby, authorized
to confer with attorneys in rels ton to
the suits now pending, and that may be J

ELK q.

Hearing so little of late about
our University town of Elko, and
accepting the CHASTITY jokes of its
press as solid truth, we had almost
come to believe that the people of
that section had sank down on
downy couches todream dull times
away. But we are glad to state
that our impressions were not cor
rect. Mr.. Doyey, one of the re-
turned University Regents, a notice
of whose visit we published on
Sunday, gives most favorable
account of the place, county and
people, and says the dozen valleys
of Elko county comprise the most
valuable and extensive agricultural
district in the State; that every
thing and everybody are wide
awake. The mines in the Cornu
copia district are attracting much
attention, and are turning out we'll
North of Cornucopia new field of
placer diggings was discovered last
winter, which is turning out splen-
did results. As high as SIS per
day to the man have been obtained
Some $50 miners left Elko recently
for the diggings, and more are soon
to follow These mines are on a
tributary of the Owyhee, north and
east from Cornucopia, and about
so miles from Elko.
Mr.. Dovey mentions as having
admired, among other vegetable
wonders of Elko farms, three cab
bages aggregating weight of 103
pounds. Another item of future
prosperity for that section, is the
discovery of a valuable mica Tor
isinglass) ledge. Sheets meas
uring 6x10 inches have already
been taken out, and the mine is not
yet fairly opened. He is evidently
much pleased with what he has
| seen.

Senator Jones, Santa Monica
and Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is becoming fearful
ly exercised on the subject of Santa
Monica and Senator Jones. The ed
itorials of the local papers in the vi
entity OF the city OF the Angels indi-
cate veritable panic. There seems
to be an impression that the wide
awake and enterprising Nevada Sen
ator proposes to move Los Angeles
to Santa Monica. The Senator has
bought controlling interest in the
Panama Railroad, and built long
wharf at Santa Monica. These
things he had perfect right to do,
and so far as the facts of the case are
before the public he has acted from
good motives and with view to
justifiable ends. He bought into
the Panama railway with a view to
compel the Mail Company to land at
the wharf at Santa Monica. There
new enterprise is not hostile to Los
Angeles. On the contrary, its sue
cess will have the effect of giving
that city fresh and cheap eommuni-
cation with the outside world. We
do not think that Los Angeles should
regard Santa Monica as rival or
Senator Jones as an enemy. II
Santa Monica should, in fact, become
the Long Branch of the Pacific
coast, it would not injure Los An
geles, but would, in fact, contribute
to its prosperity. Los Angeles is
bound to become a big city. In the
natural order of things it would
spread out all the way down to Sena-
tor Jones' long wharf, and Santa
Monica be its landing PLACES. +,

FATAL ACCIDENT.-On the l4th
inst. a sad accident occurred in Gov
eminent Gulcb, about eight miles
from this place. A man named
WEIGH and his son, w. G. WEIGH,
were getting out cord wood. At the
time of the accident the father was
below the hill splitting the logs
which were sawed and rolled down
by the son. Just before the fatal log
was started down the hillside the
son cried out to his father to get out
of the way, who answered, All
right; let it come But it would
seem that the old man was paralyzed
with fear, as from some reason he
did not get far enough out of the
way, and the log struck him on the
head, and then rolled over him,
crushing the left thigh, causing in
slant death. Deceased was native
of Missouri, aged 56, but was an old
pioneer, having come to California
in 1850. He has several children,
some living in Nevada and others
in Colorado. --Iddho Statesman.

THEATRICALs AT LAKE BIGLER.-
On last Monday night, as we are in
formed, the Mckinley sisters, who
performed here week ago, gave an
entertainment at the Glenbrook
House, Lake Bigler. 1t is seldom
that a performance of the kind takes
place so high up in the Sierra Ne
vada. Besides the guests at the
house there was a large attendance
of lumbermen and wood choppers
for miles around, some of whom
have not been in town for three
years. To them the play was nov
city of the greatest interest, and
they expressed their satisfaction by
bursts of uproarious applause.
Everything passed off pleasantly,
and the theatrical company were
well satisfied with the receipts of the
evening. This is the first dramatic
performance ever attempted upon
the shores of the lake.-Cdrson Ap-

News for the Ladies'.

Castoff silk dresses are to be converted
into velvet. We are informed as fol-
lows: For many centuries ladies' dress
es were cast away as completely useless,
but recent chemical and industrial
discoveries have furnished the means of
employing in useful manner scraps of
wooden, linen and silken materials.
Linen and cotton rags have long formed
the basis of the manufacture of paper.
Wooden rags are now unwOven, and the
wool, after having been cleansed by
chemical processes, is once more employed
in the manufacture ofstuffs of an inferior
quality; and finally, when it is too
much worn to be of any use, it serves as
powerful manure. But until lately
but little use could be found for silk
rags, or cuttings, the most precious of all.
A very small quantity served to make
the thin, fine paper known as silk paper,
and the rest was thrown away as worth.
less. A wealthy manufacturer of Man.
ningham, England, resolved to solve this
problem, and after many years of fruit
less efforts, in which he expended a large
amount of capital, he at last arrived at a
satisfactory result. He then established
an immense mandatory, in which abont
four thousand workmen are employed
daily, and here, by new process, all
the old silks are converted into rich,
glossy velvet, Of a texture as soft and
regular as any velvet woven out of new
silk. .rt.t.. str
