CITY BOND TAX LEvY.-The Suprem
Court mas filed a decision in the city bon
cass of Meyer Va, Brown, which is q petition
for a writ Of mandate compelling the city to
levy tax Of one per cent. for the general
fuad, and place fifty five per cent. of the tax
into fund for the payment Of certain bonds,
as provided by an Act of the Legislature of
1858. Tae Court uses the following language :
i" When the bonds, for whose payment, with
interest, provision was thus made, were
issued and accepted by the creditors of the
old city government, q contract was made, ss
solemn aud binding and as much beyond sub
seOuent legislation as it would have been if
made between private persons.
II is well, occasionally, to recall the fact
that there 10 no more reason to permit mu-
nIcipal government to repudiate its solemn
obligations, entered into for value, than it is
to permit an individual 20 do So Good faith
and fair desling should be exscted of the one
equally with the other. Some minor ebjec-
items sIe made 90 the petition, which is for q
writ Of mandate compelling the city suthori-
ties to levy the tax referred to, none of which,
in our opinion, are well taken. Demurrer
overruled. and defendant allowed ten days
within which to answer"

The Dtiiosr not being salts ied he and officer
jackson, accompanied by Charley All Sing,
a Chinese interpreter, last evening made q
thorough search IN Chinatown. Tney visited
all the stores, lodging houses, restaurants and
opium joints, but inquiry failed to find the
