MORE NONSENSE SHOWN UP.

Did Col. Swain apply for and hold q
position in the revenue department dur
ing the dark and bloody radical military
rule in Texas, Immediately after the war
The Forth Worth Gazette and Austin
STATESMAN can deny this, if they think il
will be of any advantage to their candi.
date for governor-Paris Balance Wheel
Col. Swain never held position under
the federal government in any capacity
whatever. As matter of fact he held
the position of deputy collector in 1866
and 81, but when the outrage of turning
out Throckmorton was perpetratcd, he
went out with him.
The manner in which the Balance Wheel
asks the question implies doubt in its
own mind as to the truth of the matter
1t is the same class of charges that this
and kindred papers have been making in
this campaign, and are almost as amusing
and harmless as the efforts of the bright
youth who attempted to use the moon as
a target for his arrow.
Instead of such nonsense iniuring Col.
Swain, it will show all intelligent men to
what straits his opposers are brought
in their endeavor to attack his official or
personal integrity, honesty and morality
As long as the Balance Wheel confines
its efforts to charges as harmless as the
above, it will only have the effect of show
ing how much better Col. Swain is quail
flied for the duties of governor.

French-You estimate revenue from


French-You estimate revenue from
taxes, ETC., at S247, 600?
Belknap-No, sir, because i have
charged off 100000 since the first OF the
month to pay up the notes of the city.
French-All the income that came in
after the LIST of March was APPLIED to the
expenses Of the last current year, you
have paid 100000 of debts which were
incurred last year.
Belknap-I don't think so.
French-These notes were given to run
the government of last year.
Belknap We had last year debts
amounting to some 900 on the LIST Of
February.
French-You received nearly $4,000
to pay that by July l, and yet you said
1t was not practicable to pay the debts
of the last administration. II the rev.
enues that came into the city since the
lst Of March this year, why could not
that Indebtedness of 100000 have been
discharged by the income of that year.
The collectors report shows $4,000.
There was an Indebtedness of the previ-
GUS year Of some $50, 600, simply because
the taxes had not been paid when the
administration terminated. Why could
not that $4,000 have been paid out Of
that?
Mayor-We have applied every fund
that comes in for the payment Of that
particular fund. We have not taken the
general fund to make the special fund
good.
French-Whilst these credits have
been given to the general and special
funds these special funds have been
used for general purposes.
Mayor-No sir.
French-For what we're they used?
The indebtedness to the special fund
was 900, and the bank was owed
$40 600 making a total Of S5S,00O. Now
IL that money was used 1t has certainly
been used by the general fund.
Msysr-Bv what authority.
French-That Is not the question.
This $50. 1000 could have paid 1t. you have
got your cheques for $4,000, you have
got $50, 900 In the same bank, and we
pay interest on $4,000.
Mayor How can / help myself. The
law is there and tells me what my
duty 10.
French-I am speaking about. that
while We pay interest on $s0,OOO we
have $50, 900 in the bank on which we
draw no interest.
Mayor-Why do we pay interest on
that money. Our Legislature says that
the money should be collected and no
money reported until in the tressurer's
hands.
French-There Is no prohibition OF
using that special fund, borrowing 1t fer
the purpose Of paying another fund
Alderman Schreiner was called to the
chair and the Mayor then read extracts
