When the circuit court convened yesterday
Mr. Kilbourn resumed his testimony in his
suit against John G. Thompson for 100000
damages. He began his testimony from the
time that he appeared before the bar of the
house of represents tives, and detailed the
circumstances Of his confinement in tho dis
trct Jail aud his release. The governments
counsel put him through a rigid cross-exami-
nation, but his testimony was substantially
tho same as Mt the preceding trials. The
question as to how much Mr.. kilbourn's
health had been injured was argued at length,
and his testimony on that point was very full
and complete. Mr.. Kilbourn was on the
stand until after o'clock, when Dr. Buckley,
Mr.. Kilbourn's family physician, took the
stand.
DIR. Bulkley's testimony was in relation to
Dir. Kilbourn's health during his incaroers-
ton aud after his release. He said that tho
atmosphere around the Jail was unhealthy,
and that Mr. Kilbourn's health was seriously
impaired, and that he was compelled to seek
relief in California. The examination
of DIR. Buckley consumed the rest of tho days
session.

The Auditor and the Finances.


The Advertiser approves of the suggestion
Of the PRESS that 1t would be good thing
Be have q statement by the Auditor of
tke exact condition Of the city finances, and
Of each appropriation, made to the City
Council monthly, like that which Is made In
sls city Of Worcester. We are pleased to
Nave the support Of the Advertiser in this
matter, for we regard 1t as one Of the best
securities the people can have that public
BUSINESS will be carefully and wisely con-
Quoted. Nothing tends more certainly to
promote caution and attention, to prevent
negligence and wrong doing, than publicity.
We believe 1t Is fault Of city governments,
a. now constituted and operated under ex-
listing charters, that committees whose meet
ings are private have SO much power which
they use to conceal the trne state of affairs.
II is misfortune that it is impossible to get
before The election any full report and expos
ure Of the business Of the year, and that the
citizens are called upon to re-elect stewards
Who have rendered no account of their stew
araship.
There is q joint rule Of the City Council
which requires each committee having In
shsrge the expenditure of Nancy to "rsrort
ss the City Council at the frst meeting of
each alternate month, or ut the next meet
ing thereafter, the amount Of money ex-
pended during the proceeding two months;
slss the amount of bills,as nearly as practic-
able, remaining unpaid" If that rule were
enforced 1t would be Of great service to the
City Council and to the public; but 1t Is not
enforced. Some committees make no pre-
tence Of reporting, others ask to be excused
