BOARD OF TRADE.

Report of the Committee of T,venty- One
Measures for the Reduction of Taration
Discussed.
The meeting of the board of trade yester-
day was Of considerable public interest,
from the fact that the committee of twenty
one made their report to the board, and mat
tiers looking to reduction of taxation in the
city were quite fully and thoroughly dis
cussed.
The main facts have been laid before
readers of the GLOBE from day to day as thew
came from the hands of the sub committees.
The proposition which occasioned the most
discussion was the proposed extension of the
city limits. Capt. Whitney explained the
proposed extention which would add quite
large amount of territory, and several
thousand inhabitants to the city. The pro-
posed new boundaries would make the area
covered nearly square, and four and half
miles east and west by four miles north and
south.
lion. u. Morrison, E. A. Harmon and 9th
ers opposed the proposed extension, while
the chair, Zion. w. D. Washburn,) Capt.
Whitney and others, advocated the measure.
The subject was finally referred to Capt.
Whitney and E. S. Corser for amendment to
report at an adjourned meeting of the
board.
All the other recommendations as they
came from the hands of the various sub
committees were approved, with the excep-
ton of that which provided for board of
supervision. This was incontinently sat
down on by indefinitely postponing the fur
Their consideration of the proposed board
which was to boss the public works of the
city.
The board then adjourned until 1870
o'clock P. NJ, and the subject of public
schools was made the special order for the
evening session.
EVENING SESSION.
The board met at 1880 P. NJ, the special
order being the consideration of the question
of public schools and expenditures in their
maintenance. President Washburn occupied
the chair.
After some minor matters were disposed
of the board took up the special order.
Prof. Tousley, superintendent of schools,
was invited to lay before the board what
facts he might have bearing upon the man
aggement of the schools of the city.
The professor came forward armed with
q cargo of documents, facts and figures, and
announced that he was in frst-rate humor
to defend the present school system against
all its enemies. He SHE'D his educational
castor into the ring in excellent shape. It
was taken up by L. B. Walker, ESQ.,, upon
invitation of the board. The council cham
Der was crowded to suffocation, manifesting
the deep interest the people felt in relation
to the subject.

Not having seen anything
from this neighborhood in your
paper l ask you to make us
known. Our neighborhood is
noted for its good works as well
as for its bad ones. Some one
has been posting bills in this
section, of slanderous nature,
causing no little excitement.
We have i quiet little church
here where we have prayer once
a week and preaching every
Sunday. This thing of posting
bills and attempting to defraud
a Christian community is a
gross outrage and should be
stopped.
The farming portion Of our
community is progressing rap
idly. have just discovered
the cause of the decline in cot
ton. n man in the neighbour
hood made an overwhelming
crop; he raised 500 pounds Of
seed cotton and put it all on the
market at once; he also made
crop of s bushels of corn and
as soon as he puts it on the
market down goes the price Of

NOT CRAZY.

Chas. Hawkins, the murderer
of Tom Power, upon his arri-
val at the Huntsville penitentla-
ry was barbered and dressed in
the regulation style, but refused
to work saying he was a king,
and that kings didn't work. He
was put in the dungeon and kept
over night but still insisted that
he was a king and wouldn't
work. The penitentiary mana
gers being no respectors of roy
atty mex. proceeded to put king
Hawkins in the stocks and gave
him twenty-five with a wet strap.
His royalty did not yet desert
him and he insisted that he was
a kind. A second installment
of twenty-five lashes with the
wet strap was prescribed, but
had been only partially admin
istered when Hawkins said !:
Hold on gentlemen, hold on, |
am no king now. This id
foolishness has gone far enough.
I'll do anything you want me to
do" Hawkins, it will be re-
membered, tried to play crazy
before and during his trial at the
district court.
