AMOUNTS TO NOTHING.
The Last Movement of the Antl-Rall-
road Magistrates.


The Last Movement of the Anti-Rail-
road Magistrates.
The County Court of Claims was
in session last Wednesday. 1t was
called together for the purpose of rat
flying settlement made by Llndes
& Clark, attorneys for the county in
bringing suit against the louisville
& Nashville Railroad Company for
back taxes. The case in the lower
court was decided in favor of the
county, but was appealed to the Court
of Appeals, which sustained the
Judgment of the lower court. The
decision, as was published in this pa
per not long since, compels the Rail-
road Company to pay into the coun-
try treasury about $1,000 back taxes
After ratifying the settlement and
allowing the attorneys $1,000 as a
fee, Squire Myers introducing the
following order, which was passed
by q vote of 10 for TO 10 against:
"That Messrs. iceland, Sites & Fe-
land be, and they are hereby author
lied and directed, in connection with
the County Attorney, 10 institute any
suit they think necessary and advis-
abe to settle in the courts the ques-
ton of the issue of bonds TO the Ohio
Valley and Cairo & Tennessee Rail-
roads, and to determine whether they
were voted upon the county legally
and by majority of the legal vote OF
the county. This movement was I'M
expected by the friends Of the roads,
but does not amount TO anything. 1t
looks little strange that the attor-
neys of the l. e N. Company should
be employed by the county to insti-
tute a suit in behalf of the county
which had to sue it TO force the pay
ment of taxes due the county. 1t
looks like the IL ~ N. must nave
hand in the matter. The friends of
the roads need not lose any sleep
about it, however, for we are told by
those who know, that the order does
not amount to hill of beans. The
time for purging the polls expired
long ago. The legality of the cleo
ton is beyond question. The attor-
neys of the Ohio Valley Railway Co,
who reside in Louisville, VIC believe,
say that this action by the Court OF
Claims is nothing, and we have the
positive assurance from the leading
men of the Company that the road
will be built, as no importance is at
tached to the order of the court. The
are now busy running two
routes and the road will in few days
be located from here TO Princeton.

THE CITY ELECTION.
Three Tickets to Be Run--Card From

The city election is now the talk of
the town. Both sides are holding
secret meetings, but enough is known
to make pretty fair prediction of
what will be done. The Citizens
Progressive Ticket will be opposed
by two tickets, both engineered by
the same parties. One will be the
old board-if the two Democrats on
that board will consent 10 run-and
the other will be composed of four
members of the old board with three
new men, making a straight Republic
can ticket The main issue at stake is a
nav police force and many Republic
cans, white and colored, who are dis
satisfied with the present force will
support the Citizens ticket. Every
indication now points to the election
of the new board by large majority
The ward question is not an issue
aud the nominees authorize the fol-
lowing statement:
rf Not a Ward Ticket.
We the undersigned nominees for
city councilmen on the Citizens Pro-
gressive Ticket do hereby accept the
nomination, aud in the event of our
election will faithfully conduct the
affairs of the atty, treating both the
colored and white citizens with equal
Justice. An erroneous report having
been circulated that we intended to
devide the city into wards, we desire
to correct the same and state that we
do not intend to divide the city into
wards during our term of office.

IN THE HERALD this morning will be
found report of an interesting meeting
held yesterday to take action, the aim OF
which is to secure more reasonable rents
IN the business portion of the city.
There is no question that the rents pre-
valling in the very center OF business are
nigh. But what are we to do about it ?
The landlord cannot be blamed for get.
ting what he easily can for his premises.
Much OF the fault lies. after all, with the
tenants. They all want to crowd into
some half dozen blocks around the cor
ners OF First and Spring, and First and
Main streets. The tenants who find
these rents too high have the remedy in
their own hands. Premises can
be obtained at lower rates by
moving out few blocks. 1t may be OBJ.
|ected that business cannot be secured at

lican party, pledged to the consideration
Of the British extradition treaty in open
session might be kept.
At the conclusion OF his remarks in fa-
vor of the resolution Riddleberger asked
leave to withdraw it, but objection was

high tribute to Ingalls, impartiality and
ability, finally the Senator from Vir-
ginia was permitted to withdraw his
resolution and the incident closed.

gree or manufacture.

ing the rates 2 cents and y cents per
pound. respectively. After a long dis
cussion the amendment as rejected.
The House holiday adjournment bill
was laid before the Senate and referred
to the committee on finance. The con-
ference report on the House bills to retire
Major General J. A. Smith, colonel OF
OF cavalry, and granting the right. t.of-way

Mr.. BRYsoN, our newly elected Mayor,
in taking his seat yesterday sent the
City Council his message. 1t will be
found in other columns of the HERALD
this morning. The paper is plain and
practical. 1t is just such setting-forth
OF our affairs as might be expected from
the new Mayor. There is to be no sen.
timental nonsense in this administration,
The city government is for the material
interests of the city. Mr.. Bryson
sets himself the task of betteripg
these in all their ramiications,
Sewers, streets, parks, schools,
boulevards, and building inspector
and all the other materialities of the mu-
nicipality are the things for which he
pleads. The programme is level.headed
and If carried out he will be able at the
end OF his official career to point with
pardonable pride to the city in better
position in all respects than it is as he
enters office. That is what the Office OF
Mayor is for. Mr.. Bryson sets out to
magnify his Office in the best possible
m manner.
