To The City Council of Koine,

asked t ■:> make an itemized, (uot » general)
• tatement of the financial condition of the
illy. This was not done in any captious
or unkind spir t—but with the houest pur-
T- 'so o: obtaining light upon the subject,
nor i- there any other motive or purpose
in too following remarks or questions.—
\ o*ij report is announced by Mr. Grady,
with a sort of defiant flourish, and grand
P°i' * the whip, which at once proves his
superior capacity as a fiuaueicr, dauntless,
with a single flash of thought, he is enabled
in detail, to comprehend the entire report.
Thi-; doubtless, grows out of the fact, that
the Homan maxim ‘‘Old men for council
and young men fbr action” has within the
last few decades been reversed. *cr in
spite or a'l this, ta^— ** ro So,J io people who
doJcrSfaml the report.
" Allow us therefore, at the perril of be
ing considered ffaff,respectfully to call your
atti ntijsi to a few points in the report aud
n-k a fbw questions.

llow is this? Is it a mistake?
Item 19 ■ Incidental expenses” 551,405-
UJ. This word -‘Incidental'’ is a broad
t<iu. How is the tax payer to understand
what this was paid for? Ii is generally
unlerstood to mean stationery, iett -r stamp*,
&C. So far as any information is to he gath
ered from it, it had just as well have been
§50 or §5.000.
Item 2'“. Another matter, not sirictly
connected with the report, but gormain to
the finances r.f the city. In 1869, did not
the City Council make a contract for “Wa
ter Works” with Messers. Noble & McCul
lough, to build them lorS27,500, one fourth
payable in Ponds of the City at par? And
were not the “water works” substantially
the same as now contracted for by John
Noble Sc 1 ’o. for S49,0tl0? It there is any
material difference between the two pair of
“water works,” wi.at is it ? Was not this
first contract signed, sealed and delivered,
and recorded on the minutes of the Hoard?
Why is this first “water works” contract re
pudiated or not enlorced? What is iu the
last contract that was r.ot iu the first, that
makes it worth to the city §21,500 more
than in the first? Under the first contract,
was nut the -‘works” warranted to be am
ple and a success?
Doubtless there are som; things in
the above, that may indicate our ignorance,
but we eau’l help it. As we have never
seen anything published by the Council to
enable us to understand its finances, will
fair and respectful answers be made, or will
theso questions be puffed at?
Without desiriug to intimate, that there
is anything wrong, or annoying any one,
(not even Mr. Grady.) the above and fore
going is'rtspeetfully submitted.

The Chronicle A Sentinel says :
We have received a letter from Jeffer
son county giving the particulars of one of
the most revolting outrages which his ever
disgraced the innals of civilization :
It sceais that on Saturday night last a
band of disguised men, who are supposed
to have been ku-klux, visited Louisville,
the eouuty site of Jefferson county, and de
manded the key of the jail from the jailer,
Judge Diehl They went to the jail, open
ed it, took out nine prisoners, fivo of whom
had been recently tried and convicted, and
four of whom had been committed on
charges duly made
The prisoners were carried a little dis
taDce from the village and whipped severe
ly by the band, and the ears of seven of
them were cut off. They thou turnol these
seven loose with one whose ears they neg
lected to cut.
The ninth was brought back to the jail,
shot twelve times and killed. The ' one
killed had been committed lor burning re
entiy, the gin house of Allen Brown. The
name of this negro was Charles Butler,
who formerly belonged to Dr. Dixon. One
cf the other negroes (Jim Stapleton) had
both ot his cars taken off.
The people of the country—all the true
men—are justly indignant at this diaboli
cal conduct. They are determined to fer
ret out the offenders and bring them to

The Georgia Delegation Addmittcd— A
Genuine Negro Iu Congress.
Washington,Jan, 16. 1871
The Georgia delegation, fbar in number,
we.rc sworn ia to day. There are three
democrats and one republican, the latter
being a negro several shades darker than
Senetor Itevcis or Ilerpesentative Rainy.
He was the only one ol the party, however.,
who could swallow the iron clad oath. The
others having participated in the rebellion,
were compelled to take what is known as
the qualified oath. The negro is an intel
ligent looking man, about medium height,
of rather spa c figure, with a w-ll shaped
head, covered with an abundant crop of
wool. He is a much better representative
of the negro race than llainey, of South
Carolina, who is more like a Oub-u than
an African. As soon as he was sworu in
he was warmly congratulated by Kelley, of
Pennsylvania Beu Butler and other rad
icals seeued fearful that he might go ever
to the Democratic side of the House, and,
accordingly :et about to get him a seat on
the republican side. It was manifest that
be had never been in Congress before, for
he looked around with an air oi bewilder
ment as if he had suddenly foond hims.lf

The danger to life and property arising
from the iuflamablc character of the steam-

Liquorice-
Liquorice is a native ot South Europe,
and appears to have been cultivated iu
England niuce the time of Elizabeth. The
chief places where it, was long reared iu
any quantity for sale were Pontefract, in
Yorkshire; Workshop, in Nottinghamshire;
and Godiaming, Surrey. It is now, how
ever, raised by many gardeners in the vi
cinity of London, by which the London
market is supplied with roots in no respect
inferiot to those -of warmer climates. It
requires a deep sandy loam, treuehad by
the spade or plow to two feet or three feet
deep, and manured if necessary. The
plants are procured from old plantations,
and consist of those side roots which have
eyes or buds. The plcntingseason is either
October, February aud March; the latter is
prelerable.
Th. plants are dibbled in rows three feet
apart. The plants do not rise above one
foot the first season, and take three years
before the root is fit for use. Decoctions
of this root yield an extract containing
large quantity of saehariuc matter and mu
cilage, with a little bitter extract. It
used iu medicine under various toruis, aud
is the black sugar or Spanish juice, so gen
erally known.
The liquorice roots are also used by
brewers, to a considerable extent, in the
manufacture ol porter. Liquorice juice
has been famed since the days of llippo
crates as useful in allaying thirst. Dr. Cul
len supposes, however, that this property
does uot actually belong to the saccharine
juice; but that if a piece of the root be
chewed till all this juice is extracted, there
remains a bitter which acts on the sallivary
glands, and this may contribute to remove
thirst.
Among the best puns ever m ide were
these by Thomas Ilood, whom Tacodore
Hook would not be introduced to, because
be was a ‘protended humorist.’ Among
Hood’s many witicisms is this:
‘His death which happened in his berth.
At forty odd bcfel;
They went and told the sexton,
And the sexton tolled the bell.
On one occasion Hoad wrote to his butch
er that it was necessary for the sake of
cheap literature and the interest of the
rending public that he should furnish him
with meat at a v;ry trifling percentage
above cost price.
Mr. Stokes, the butcher, rep ; ied: “Sir;
respectin’ you*- note, cheap literature be
blowed. Butchers must live as well as
other people, aud ifso be you or the rediu’
publick wants to have meat at cost price,
you must buy your own bcas’s and kill your
selves. I remain, etc.’
Hood died composing a humorous poem.
He is said to have remarked that he was

wished to ‘urn a livcdy Hood.’

Neglect of God’s Oracles.
Dr. Deems says it is a sin to neglect any
I art of Gr.d’s oracles. If the Bible be the
ward of God, if it contain the “mind of
the r-pirit” then to neglect any portion man
ifests a disrespect for the authority of God,
which must seriously weaken any man’s
moral constitution.
In the instructions which a subject re
ceives from a king the royal authority is as
uiu; h in every part as it is in any part. To
select portions for study and obedience is to
be disobcdiert,as it i s the setting up of
our individual or private judgment against
the wisdom and the will of the infinite
Heavenly Father.
It furthermore argues a want of love lor
truth. This love lor truth it is indispen
sable to cultivate. It is really more im
portant tiian a nervous carefulness to be
exact, in all our statements and accurate in
the use of our words.
