The regular meeting of the Mayor and Board of Aldermcu was held last night, with Mayor OXcary presiding and a full attendance of the city dads. The City Attorney made a report as to the bonds of the city officials, and suggested that there were some inaccuracies that should be corrected and some changes that should bo made.

Alderman liaum said he had found, in thinking over the matter, that he was on rather too many bonds, and upon consideration, he thought it was a bad precedent for Aldermen to be tiie bondsmen ot city ollicials, as tlicy liau to approve the bonds, and in future such questions might arise as would possibly place the AldcrmenJii a deli cate position. Motions were then made to release Alderman Baum and other members of the Board from the bonds of city officials, upon the presentation of other eood and sufficient bondsmen. The motion prevailed, and the changes were made as contemplated by the motion. COMMITTEES. The Mayor announced Hie following standing committees Finance O.

A petition of sundry citizens asking that Richard Doler be added to the police was referred to the Police Committee and City Marshal. moke roi-iCE omojeus.

Krlcrrcd. to Police Committee. ri VINti SEEK rinan Baum offered an ordinance Aid providing against the sale or purchase of seed cotton in this city after nightfall. He said a nnmlier of business men and citizens had asked Ihe passage of such an ordinance for their benefit and protection. The fill' Attorney, being referred to, said he thought (here was no Si.ile law at present in force to prcreul llie evil mentioned in the ordinance.

On motion Ihe ordinance was again read, and finally passed on its third and final reading. The ordinance as passed is as follows: THE HliPINAXCE. Beit ordained by Ihe Marin and Aldermen ol Ihecitv of Tlu! hereafter no seed collou or coiinlry produce of any description, shall be sold, bought or delivered within the limits of the city of icksburg, between the hours of 7 o'clock: p.iji. and (i a.m. 2.

Bo it further ordained, That for each violation f( this ordinance the offender shall, upon conviction before the Mayor of the said city, he lined in a sum not less than $20, nor more than 50, and shall stand committed to Ibo custody of the city until the tine and all costs shall be paid. 3. Be it further ordained, That the provisions of this ordinance shall not apply nor in any manner affect tne sale, purchase or ueuvcrv ot sucli articles. (except the article of seed cotton) by or from regular licensed dpalcrs at or from their regular places of budlupss in said city. 4.

Be it further ordained, That this ordinance be in full force from and af ter its passage. Mr. J. J. Powers objected to the or diuance as it might interfere with the wagons coming iu with cotton to be ginncdrbut it being explained lltul the ordinance was only to prevent the sale ot seen cotton between the hours named, and the objection was with drawn.

HEALTH MATTERS. Ofl motion of Alderman Baum, the services of Health Officer Sharpe were dispensed Willi, ami Health Officer Woodruff required to perform the ad ditional duty. The Board of Health sent in the fol lowing KEI-OKT. omen lioAKii ok Health, VickslMirg, Sept. 1874.) '(To Hie Honorable Board of Mayor and Al- aur.iicu, icKsourg Gents; As theUity Government has but recently luiina under the control of your Honorable body, mid you are necessarily unfamiliar uilh unny the details of the several rieparlmeiitg, we deem it our duty to lay before you at this time a brief report relative to the "Sanitary which we have the honor to preside This department was re-organized this year, on May 25th, under a Board of Health, consisting of Drs.

Hun', ftuin and Woodruff, and Health Offi eers Sharp and Chandler. On June 4th, Drs. Hunt resigned their positions oji the Board, and soon alter jjis. T. Henry aim fJ.

r. were appointed to fill the vacancies. Little or nothing had been done toward maintaining tho sanitary condition of the city, during the previous winter and spring, owing to the custom which prevails of dispensing with the sanitary officers during this period of the year, tftpir terms ot otlicc expiring the first of November, and tho laws under which the act, betnar either amended or a dead letter," for' jyant of enforcement. Hence, at the time of the reorganization of this department, the sanitary condition of the eily was decidedly bad. The regime wnic.it nail neen insti tuted and enforced daring the previous rear, ceased on retirement from office iff tlieauitary officers.and the city was allowed to lapse back into the same unwholesome condajoi) into which we found it; with imperfect sewerage, gutters and ditches clogged with tilth and debris, decaying animal aud veg etable matter, thrown upon the streets I The Chars SwUid and Ike Prlstr Held to Bail to the Sum of $22,500.

Two Cases of Fernery, $5000 Each, and Five Cases or Embezzlement, $2500 Each. In the matter Of the Slate vs. T. W. iirdozo, present State Superintendent Education and late Circuit Court Clerk of this county, charged wiui forging witness certificates, Justice Mann yesterday delivered his decision.

which has been unuer nuvisciiiuni iui several days. There were two affidavits rliaviii lor-'erv. and tno prisoner was Imld in bail in the sum of each. The following is Justice Mann's DECISION'. In this matter tho defendant is brought before me upon two separate affidavits.

Both cases have been submitted together for decision, and I proceed to dispose of them accordingly. The first afhdavit is niaile ty llaniiioai C. Carter, and, briefly stated, charges the defendant with having, on or about the 4th day of May, 1S73, falsely, feloniously, and with intent to defraud the State, "made and entered upon the minute book of the Circuit Court of. Warren county, a certain writing purporting to be au order of said Court, making nn allowance to certain persons therein named for mileage and attendance as witnesses on behalf of the State in certain criminal cases pending in said Court, intending thereby to create a pecuniary demand against the State. The other affidavit is made by K.

1. Richardson, and charges that the defendant did on or about the 27th day of April, 1S72, feloniously forge ami issue to one L. II. Uratla writing pur porting to be a certificate of an allowance made to said Graff, by the Circuit Court of Warren couuty, for mileage and attendance as a witness on behalf of the State in the case of the State vs. It.

Davis et pending in said Court, and afterwards, to-wit on the 7th day of January, 1S73, having purchased said certificate from Graff, did make and endorse thereon a false certificate over his signature as Clerk of said Court, with the seal ot said Court affixed, to the effect that the defendants in this case had been convicted and that execution had been issued for the costs and been returned nulla bona, and that there was no prosecutor, and did afterwards present said certificate to the Auditor of the State and re ceived payment thereof out of the State Treasury, as a genuine certificate. At the conclusion of the evidence, or the examination of the charges, the defendant's counsel submitted a motion. to quash the affidavits and discharge the accused, upon tue gronua tnat tne affidavits charge no offense known to the law. It is not usual to require iu examinations of this character the technical accuracy in framing the affi davit necessary in an indictment. It sufficient is cnargea to warrant an inquiry and to give the accused reason able and intelligible notice of what that inquiry is to be, I think the requirement of the law is answered.

With this view of the case, I must, therefore, overrule the motion to quash. In my opinion it would be very wrong for this court to make a lengthy public review ot the testimony as adduced in the causes, as no matter how honestly given, it might do the defendant or the State injustice by forestalling and in- flueucins public opinion. Regarding the testimony as not only sufficient lo warrant this court in holding the defendant to answer further, but of sm li a character as to demand that the defendant shall be aofheld; it is therefore the judgment of this court that the defendant enter into recognizance in the sum of $5,000, with two or more good and sufficient sureties in a like sum, lor his appearance at the next term of the Circuit Court of Warren county, Mississippi, to answer the State upon a charge of forgery in each of said causes, and that the defendant stand committeed to the jail of Warren county until he shall have executed such recognizances. EMBEZZLEMENT. In the live cases of embezzlement, Cardozo waived examination and was held to bail in the sum of each, and in default was sent to jail.

Not withstanding the improbability of his being able to give a good and sufficient bond of Cardozo was still at large late last evening, aud will probably never sec the inside of our eountv jail until after there has been a vacancy the Sheriff office, which at present is not at all improbable in the near future. Murtler at Oak Kidge. Saturday a negro man named Mason was waylaid and killed on the road near Oak Ridge, and about one mile and a half from his home on tho Harris place. No clue could be obtained to the murder, but it is supposed that as Mason was known as a Democratic negro and highly respected by the whites, he had been killed by a mob of anti-Democratic negroes. Deputy Shcrill McGcc and Coroner Wilson went out to the scene of the murder to hold an inquest and ferret out the murderers.

They had not returned at a late hour last night. 4-1 Bleached Domestic, 10c a yard, at. Die Clay Street Store. Some graceless thief, not having the fear of the city fathers before his eves, prized open the lock and surreptitiously entered the wine and liquor estab lishment of Alderman Joe Doll, yesterday morning before the dawn of day, and did tiiou and there abstract, from the money drawer the sum of thirty dollars or thereabouts with malice prepense ana against me peace ana dignity of the State, as the law officers sav. iTo arrest has been made, and there is no clue to tho robber.

The Memphis Register, after struggling for existence through a period of three years, has finally collapsed, and, it is understood, will not be resuscitated. The paper was started by a combination of printers with a good editorial staff, and for a time it bade fair to become a permanent suess, especially at a time when it had almost an entire monopoly of the official printing of the county, but it only lingered through a brief and wearying existence, and then left its owners anil projectors minus the money invested and the labor devoted to its iiiainleii-auce. The Iiegistor lacked the great requisite of all successful newspapers in this day and generation capital without which daily newspapers cannot weather financial storms and breakers.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen adopted an ordinance at their meeting last night prohibiting: the sjile of seed cotton between the hours of 7 p.m. and i a.in. The ordinance as first presented reads a.m., but was changed at the suggestion of Mr. J.

J. Powers, propr: etor of Powers' oil mill, to a.iu. lie stated that the ordinance as ottered would interfere with his business, as parties were in the habit of coming to his mill as early as five a clock in the morning to have their cotton ginned and he didn't want them to be debarred of that privilege. His gin was a great couvenicuco to planters, who had no gin on thcirown place or at any nearer point, and lie wanted them to enjoy the advautage. He didn't buy seed cotton, but ginned it Wo make this notice to prevent any mistake that might arise t'rem a misconstruction of the ordinance referred to.

The ginning of cotton at the oil mill, as will be seen, is not affected by the ordinance. Cents' Half Hose, 10c a pair, at the 8-5t Clay Streit Store.

spring, when such work, under a proper sanitary commission, would not be detrimental to public licaltli, would have proved a saving to tho city treasury, would have Itettcr prepared the city to stand the loug siege of hot weather iu -summer aud autumn, considered most unwholesome, and as a matter of public policy, would inure vastly to the commercial and oihcr interests, iu the immunity from epideini-ics ami other malignant diseases so disastrous to the prosperity of any city. As illustrative. Veto street was tilled and opened from Walnut to Monroe, and although a irooden sewer was constructed, so ill-adapted was it as soon to become closed and useless hence we have what is known as the "Trinity Church Pond," both injurious to health and property, and which can only be remedied at heavy expense to the property-owners or city. Again, what is known as Hawk's Pond," a declared nuisance for years past, slill remained and was allowed to be used as the dumping place for scavenger carts a cess-pool pregnant with ac eumulaled tilth, and a fertile source of disease. Sinks in populous portions of the city, odorous with ncc mutilations of years, nuisances to public health that should have been emptied during the winter, and which could now be only partially abided by the liberal use of disinfectants.

"Poverty Flat," a well known locality in the city, which after every rain becomes sanitary nuisance, and other similarevidi'iices 1 want of forethought and disregard of the laws ol health were found to exist through out the city. In this connection we would can at tention to the report from the Board of Health" to the "Board of Mayor and Aldermen," of June 15, wherein sundry of these juatters are brought to their notice, and recommendations relative thereto made. By reference to said report you will see that this Board took such action relative to these mat ters as in its judgment was deemed requisite to permanently abate, ihese evils, and although their effort met with but little encouragement, you will perceive that we stand square on the record iu the discharge of our duly. Want of co-operation on the part of both citizens and officials has rendered the duties devolving upon the officers of this department much more onerous to perforin still notwithstanding the many difficulties to contend against, we think 1 1 is Board can, with no little pride, challenge investigation of their administration, and can Bhow that the sanitary condition of this city was never better than if is to-day. The sundry nuisances above mentioned have been abated with the limited means under our control, and at au expense by no means commensurate with the advantages gained.

The health of Ihe city is now, and has been remarkably good all summer. N'o epidemic, has prevailed, and com paratively few eases (if severer types ol endemic disease have occurred, and such cnxes generally vieldiuir to treatment. We are not aware of the cost ol maintaining tho sanitary department during the past three months, but a much larger outlay was necessary during that period to purchase disinfectants lime and carbolic acid than will be iiecc.s.sai again and moreover. experiment has demonstrated that much ol the. debris fj'PM' Ihe Gas House, can bo utilized tor sanitary purposes, anil is but little inferior fo the disiulivlaiila most iu use.

Wo take pleasure in stating that the present Health Officers are both active apd efficientin the performance of their duties, As you well know, Dr. Shannon was appointed to till the vacancy on the Board of Health created by the resignation of Dr. Woodruff.

'That a concurrence iu this resolution by your Honorable body will very greatly iiicreao Ihe labor of the remaining Health i-tfircr, aud Will require his entire time to ppfr t)ie duties devolving upou him, is very true, slill we believe that with euergjr and close attention hecan succeed, and being iu the interest of reform aud economy, we advocate its adoption. ne(MM iiuiiT stiummea, K.
