Yeaterday was the second of the only

the last thirty-two, and even then clouds

was richly enjoyable. The moon, too,
looked unnatural, but still the parties

CITY COUNCIL.
Committee Reports in Favor of Tolling
Bridget— Tax Ordinance - Five
If 'ardent.
Council met last night in adjourned
session. Full board present, excepting
Alderman Clark.
TOLLINQ BRIDGES.
The Committee on Bridges and Wharf,
Clark, Led linger aad.Joseph, reported that
the aotual repairs and expenses, includ
ing salaries for two years and nine month'*,
outside of permanent work, when the
bridge swere tolled was $12,083.27,and the
receipts of tolls $11,078.78, costing above
receipts $054.30. The repairs and ex
penses for the throe subsequent years
when they were free was $6,803.58.
In the three years of tollage $6,000
must be deducted for salaries, showing
that one year compared with another, ex
elusive on cost, the bridges cost the city
when not tolled $2,207.86, and when
tolled $314.76; aud this, too, when the
time of tollage is made three years when
it was only two yuan* and nine months.
Salaries wero then $1,000 per annum
each. Competent roeu will now give
bond to do the work for half that sum.
The bridges were tolled in 1860, 1870
aud uino months of 1871. The receipts
in 1870 were $4,839.27, and expenses
$10,253.27 (inclusding $5,400 for a rock
pair); excess of expenses over receipts
$5,414.
In 1870, the receipts were $3,450.70,
and expenses $3,076.38; exoess of re
ceipts over expenses $383.32.
In 1871, receipts to October 1st were
$2,780, expenses $4,321.60; exoess of
expenses over receipts $1,544.60.
The bridges wore then made free. The
expenses in 1872 were $4,010.10, includ
ing $1,000 for lumber; iu 1873, $1,425.07;
in 1874, $1,457.61.
The lower bridge is kept insured for
$12,000, the upper one for $10,000; lower
bridge oust $25,000; upper one $15,000.
The committee conclude a good deal
can be said both pro and con regarding
again tolling the bridges. Iu regard to
the increased trade from free bridges over
balancing the cost of repairs, the com
mittee show these figures:
Receipts from merchandise from 1860
to 1871 inclusive at £ of one per cent, was
$7*3,6691 from 1872 to 1874 inclusive at ;j
of ouo per cent. $76,666. Now add j of
oue per oent. to the first three years,
wjien the bridges were tolled, and you
will aee that tho receipts, instead of being
$73,663; would have been $110,404,
against $76,666 when the bridges were
free—a difference of $23,428.
Some of the strongest advocates three
years ago of freeing, arc now in favor of
tolling the bridges, admitting that no
benefit bod been derived to lmsines or
the property in the vicinity of the Btruot-
ures.
All agricultural produots (passed free
when tho bridges were tolled—snob arti
cles as cotton, wood, eggs, chiokeus, Ac.
The tendency of tolling the bridges would
cause more of country produce to be
brought to the city.
While affording all facilities for trade,
the city desires to make those costly
structures Hclf-supportiug. Post dues
and wharfage are eh urged and the river
trade increases yoarly. Why not apply
the same argumont.to freeing the wharf
os tho bridges? Free bridges are the
rare exception. Many charge for coun
try produce and even foot passengors,
whioh Columbus does not proposo to do.
A watchman is required at these bridges
and the keepers will be such.
Iu conclusion the committee recom
mends tolling the bridges, and liberal
terms be made with those desiring yearly
passes.
Received, and lies over nntil next
meeting.

Stealing Cotton by the Hundred Pounds—
A Cow Narrowly Escapes,
The gin bou»e of Mr. John Mulford, in
Russell county, Alabama, was broken
opeo Sunday night and some three or four
hundred ponnds of ootton stolen. The
thieves were tracked from Mr. Mulford’s
place, four miles out, to the large hill
overlooking Girard. Some one must have
bought the cotton, or it is concealed. The
prosecution and conviction of some of
theee people who bny cotton and keep no
record of tbs names of the sellers will
greatly add to the safety and security of
fanners. The thieves doubtless con
sidered that after Mr. M. had made his
crop they were perfectly competent to
share it—though not working on shares.
The policemen found on Sunday bight
a basket containing some seventy pounds
of cotton which some thief, in his harry,
left there. The owoer can identify it at
the North and South Railroad depot.
The same night a negro had caught a
heifer on the east commons and was pro
ceeding to oat her throat and transform
tbe carcass into beef, when some colored
people returning from late church hailed

Enoch Arden Last Night.
Who has not read Tennyson'# touching,
beautiful poem of thia name? It has
been dramatized, and many of the flow
ing, musical lines of the poet preserved.
The play was presented to quite a good
audioL-ce last night by Brown’s Dramatic
Uouipuny. It was presented with taste
aud appreciation. At the close of the
second act the principal characters, Hunt-
ley (Enoch Arden) and Miss Phosa McAl
lister (Annie Lee), were, reoalled to the
footlights. The company is an excellent
one, and made a flue impression when
they were here before, whioh has been
enhanced by the rendition of last night.
The chief roles were well sustained.
Huntley is a young actor of ability and
care; Miss McAllister has won high
plaudits; Delrnar played well as Philip
Ray. The entire performance passed of
with amoothneas and pleasure. As on
entirety the company is very good.
To-night we are to have the sensational
drama of Led Astray—a play whioh
abounds in thrilling incident. Go and
see it.

ootton yielded a surplus of il00,000 bales
above tbe world's consumption and the
previous one 200,000, and if tbe present
crop reaches 4,250,000 bales, it will be a
surplus of 200,000, for they do not be.
lieve the consumption will exceed 4,000,.
000 bales. In Eugland, the consumption
will be stationary, on the continent in
crease a little, and in Amerioa decrease a
little. If the present erop be 4,250,000
there will be an exoess in the three years
of 750,000 bales of American cotton.
India and Brazil will give as much as last
year, (India certain unless prices fall very
low), Egypt 50,000 to 100,000 less.
Will the United States crop amount to

The £a<t«s* Memorial Mutiny—Iitui-
trmtl Columbut Jtobly.
The ladies of Colnmbua will remember
to meet to-day at 10 a. m., in the Colum
bus Guards’ room, in order to devise ways
and means to erect a monument to the
Confederate dead in Columbne, and we
hope to provide some plan for the assist
ance of those who are disabled and desti
tute and the families of the dead heroes
who rest in our cemeteries. If the illns-
trioua deed could hover o'er us and whis
per in onr ears, or proclsim it in trumpet
tongues over the land, would their words
not be a prayer to guard and aid the
widow and fatherless, and the comrade
who cannot work beoause of tbe strokes
of battle? A grand borne for Confede
rate widows and orphans, an Hotel dtt
Invalidu of brave soldiers, small at first
and growing larger, would be a more
lasting monument of appreciation and
gratitude than all the piles of marble and
granite that oonld be reared. Honor the
dead by assisting their loved ones. When
onr section becomes rich and prosperous,
then we can erect monumental piles.
Help now, as their needs may be, the de
scendants of onr dead soldiers. Let the
ladies think of these things, and let all
who ean attend the meeting to-day; and
if you do not send n notioe of co-opera
tion. The memories of the deAd are em
balmed in history. Virginia has oangbt
the idea. “Waahington and Lee College''
