There is quite an improvement in the matter
OF payments, aud Complaints are no longer
heard. Some few, who are dependent On the
city for their money, arc Of course behind, but
:he community generally is in healthy, solvent
condition. 1u this respect prospects are believ-
cd to be frightening, consequent on the gradual
but marked increase in mercantile business. Tie
rates for money are unchanged, per cent being
the usual figures. Any deviation from this rate
is due to certain peculag1tics in the loan, which

its organizations over the whole of the
United States. The Turner's he said aim
at the harmonious culture of mind and
body; they are in favor of political and

opinions in the mayoralty case of ColviG

McAlister, Williams and Rogers, decide
that since the city council neglected to
call an election for mayor at the time when
Mr.. Colvin's term expired. and since such
a call is necessary to secure a valid elec-
ton, that the votes recently cast for Mr..
Hoyne are nugatory, and that Mr.. Colvin
holds his Office until an election is duly
called by the council.
Judges Farwell and Booth read dissent
ing opinions, to the effect that the failure OF
the council to perform its duty does not
invalidate the votes cast, because the law
is mandatory, and an election may legally
be held Notwithstanding such dereliction or

and began doing so. There was great
sensation in the hall and Blaine has sew

At the conclusion of the reading of the let
ters and of the memorandum made from
them by Mulligan. Blaine appealed to the
house to say whether any members pri-
vate correspondence would better bear
search.
He thea said, with reference to the
$64 900 bond transaction, that the testi-
mony OF Josiah Caldwell would make his
vindication complete and inquired of the
chairman of the judiciary committee
whether telegram had been sent to Cald-
well.
Mr.. Knott replied he had not yet ascer-
tanned Caldwell's address.
