Mr. Sims Demands a Retrac- tion from the ‘‘Nonpareil,” And Threatens a Libel Suit if it is not Made. Thecity counsel met in regular ses- sion Friday evening., It was a bril- liant one—(that is the session.) The roll was called and Fonda, Churchill, Mithank, Keller, Cavin, Spetman and Dawson responded. The minutes of the proceeding ses- sion were approved as published. Quite a number of bills were allowed, ranging from a §600 lumber bill, pre- sented by the Chicago lumber com- pany, to one of fifty cents for burying a dog. PETITIONS, The petition of N. J. Bond, to be allowed to oceupy a portion of Frank street for the purpose of erecting an elevator, corn sheller and ‘scales was granted. Petition signed by all the police- men and endorsed by Chief Field was presented, and, on motion of Alder- man Fonda, was referred to the police committee. The petition of Officer & Pusey, Farnsworth, Street and others, for a crosswalk from the northwest corner, at the junction of Main and Broad- way, to the southwest corner, was granted, A petition was presented by Mrs, Smitm asking that the Chicago & Northwestern railroad company be stopped from obstructing First avenue with their cars. BIDS for constructing sidewalks were opened. The only two were: From G. C. Hitchcock, offering to construct the walks-of cement for 54 cents per From Mr. Mitben, plank walk, 40 cents; brick, 65 cents to 65 cents, according to width and curbing, The cement walks were given to Hitchceock and the brick to Mitben. WANTS INVESTIGATION, L. P. Judson, city engineer, pra- sented a request inasmuch as consid- erablo cheap talk had been going the round of Council Bluffs that there was a cat under the avenue G grade which he had mnot let out, that a com- mittee be appointed to procure the services of a competent, un- unprejudiced " eugineer to re-suryey the same and report the result to the council, The mayor appointed the following aldermen on said commit- tee: Dawaon, Churchill and Keller. SIDEWALKS, Mr. J. W. Laing addressed the council, calling attention to the ob- atruction placed by them opposite his front gate on Sixth street, in the ishape of a crossing as a substitute for .a sidewalk, on the east side of snid -strot. A committee was. .appointed 40 remove the nuisance. Mz, Churchill offered a resolution «directing owners of proderty along the line on the east side of Sixth street, from Willow avenue to Fifth avenue, to construct within thirty days a side- walk of hard burned brick. Carried. THE LEVEE, Mr. Dawson reported the interview had at Chicago with Mr. Hewett, gen- eral manager of the Chicago & North- weatern railroad in regard to the levee. Mr. Hewett informed the committee that the matter would be presented to their board of directors or action. Mr. Dawson stated that the chances were the board would meet too late for any use and he be- lieved they would not come to any «decision in the matter when they did meet, The report was received and placed on file, Mr. Dawson, from the committee on the Hazzard culvert reported ad- versely, Report received ane con- curred in. Mr. Unthank wished the council to excuse him from serving on the levee committeo, The mayor thought as Unthank was on it he should be ex- cused, A petition from Thomas Officer calling the attention of the council to the washout of the foundation to one of his houses near the Creek, on Sixth street, was referred to the committee on internal improvements. The petition for a culvert across the road being constructed by Conrad Giese, from his brewery to Frank street, the same to be 8x3x16, was granted, NEW HOBE CART, ‘Mr. Dawson reported the purchase of a new four wheeled, two horse hose carriage, by the committes who went to Chicago and also read the contract. He reported that they had ordered 1,000 feet of new 2} inch hose from Soneca Falls, New York. The report was received and concurred in, Mr. Dawson recommended the fit- tin? up the Bluffs City hose cart building and keoping the old steamer there; also the construction of a new building on the city lot on Main street for the use of the now steamer. Mr. Churchill stated thatfive-eighths of the taxes of Council Blutfs were paid h{ citizons owning property south of Broadway. That in his opinion the new ateamer should be placed where it would offer the best protection for all this property, Mr, Bockman being present at this juncture took a hand. " He said that the eastern portion of the city was de- termined to push him and his neigh- bors over to Omaha for FIRE PROTECTION, (**a very poor place.”) At his own oxpense he rchased a force ump and unless the council located he new steawm er sumewhero near his house he would smash the pump and 1ot the house take care of imlz He made considerable of a period with his fist on the rail and retired, Mr. Bpetman thought a desirable accommodation for the new steamer ¢ould be procured from the county .o o . without going to the expense of build- ing. The matter of locating the steamer was deferred until the next meeting. APPOINTMENTS, On motion of Alderman Dawson Samuel Morrison_was appointed en neer of the bluffs City engine, vice mas Homes, deceased. The matter of procaring a compe- tent engineer for the new stoamer was referred to the committee on fire and gas. . Charles Nicholson was appointed driver of the Blufls City engine. A resoluticn was adopted 1nstruct- ing the recorder and chief of police to proceed to condemn and sell all re- volvers, knives, razors, old saws, ham- mers, briars, bowie knives, etc., left on hand by burglars and sneak thieves who were unable to pay their fines, and that the procecds, after pay- ing fees, be turned over to the city treasurer., A. T. Ellewell made his report, showing cash on hand, $4,869,08, After transacting some other minor matters, the regular business of the session was concluded, when ALDERMAN DAWSON offered the following resolution: Resolved, By the council of the city of Council Bluffs, that the city at- torney and committee of three pro- ceed immediately to take such steps a8 are necessary to procure the right of way, 100 feet wide, on the line run by the Union Pacific railroad engi- neers, commencing at v point near the bluff, north ot the city, and running down said line to a point below the Driving park grounds, the termination of said point to be located by the city engineer and committee, and that a special committee of threce be appointed, said committee to be cemposed of three members of the council and one citizen, and em- powered to let contract for work on the same, and said work to be under the supervision of said committee and city engineer; and in view of the late- ness of the season, would urge upon each and every one connected with this work, that thoy uso every en- deavor to vigorously push this work to an early completion. = Said committoe shall have full power to audit all bids for work done with the city and county money, and the city engineer will aid said committee in procuring right of way, and setting grade stakes for said levee. Andy Graham wished to be beard betore this resolution was acted upov. He stated that the money appropri- ated by the county was at the solici- tation of Mr. Metcalf and himself; that they had pledged their word that the money should be judiciouly ex- pended; that the county board had NO FAITH in a levee 8 foot wide on the top. They believed that a stronger levoe should be constructed, to be not less than 16 feet across the top. They were willing that the route marked out by the U. P. engineer should be followed, but would render no assist- ance unless it was 16 feet wide at the top and 1 foot higher than the U. P. survey. There seemed to spring up a misun- derstanding at once between the members of the board of trade pres- ent—Andy Graham, H. H. Metcalf, and Dr. McKune, The mayor and council sesmed to think that the board through these representatives had come there 16 ‘‘BuLLDOZE” them into handing over into their hands the $2,000 appropriated by the city for the purpose. The sity council believe that as the city must father the leveo after it is built, keep it in repair and be responsible for all dam- age, that the same should be con- structed under the direction of the city, They were willing, however, to allow one member from the board of trade to hold and handle the money. Mr, Metcalf said that the council certainly misunderstood his position, He was not around hunting a job to handle $2,000 of any man's money. He wanted nothing whatever to do with the $2,000 ONLY 80 FAR as he had given his word to see that it with the woney appropriated by the city, went into the levee. Why the county board madethis a condition he could not say. He then explained that the county did not furnish the cash, but 10 per cent notes, and that J. J. Brown, a man in whom the county board had confidence, had not only agreed to take the paper at par but to superintend the construc- tion of the levee without money or without price, provided they came to some understanding at once. Andy Graham said that it the city council were agoing to wake up and help the board of trade it was time they were abogt it. Mr. Brown had very generously offered his services gratis, provided they acted at once, The work lied out for this fall could be done 1 three weeks, and he wanted the council to act at once 80 that Mr, Biown could SHARPEN HIS PLOWS Monday, to make the dirt fly onTues- day, Dr, McKune made a splendid speech, defering the position of the board of trade in the matter. That the board had no desive to usur| the powers of the city coun- cil. hey were after no glory in this o088, They were interested as citizens in gotting the leveo construct- ed in the soonest possible manngr, In eloquent and well chosen words he urged the council to act in the matter at once, Mayor Vaughan had set still until now, when he arose and gave the board of trade & little lecture. Hosaid it was no use for the city council to wear the mask any longer, and he was going to pull it off He reached over the desk in ‘“‘imi- tation of pulling off a mask,” ““This city council, gentlomen, think that you are trying to run the busi- neas of this city; that you look upon this august body as not capable with- out you, and of constructing a levee or of expending the city's money, YOU WANT ALL THE GLORY, So far as your procuring the money from the county, it is simply & mis- take. That money came because the high floods last spring drove people from their homes on the bottoms into the county court house for the board of supervisors to feed and clothe, Talk about your procur- ing this money, We can’compel them to pay it whether they wish to or not. Wa, the city council and yself, ask {no odds from anybody. © propose to build this levee withont the assis- tance of any money that is not given directly to the council to be expend: by them. This levee will not be to the board of trade or the county of Pottawattamio. The city much father it, and be responsible for it after it is built. The members of the board of trade retired with disgust, There was a calm for a moment, when an alder- man offered the following amendment to Mr. Dawson's resolution: Resolved, That J. J. Brown be, and is hereby authorized, to proceed at once to the construction of tho Mis- souri levee, The Dawson resolution as amended was unammously adopted. The m appointed as that committoee the mittee on internal improvement, with Doctor McKune. On motion of Al- derman Fonda H. H. Metcalf was added, At the suggestion of Mayor Vaughan the council resolved to at- tend THE FUNERAL of the Iate Thomas Homor in a body and adjourned, Mob Violenos. The mayor and city council bofore entering upon their soveral official po- sitions, as the servants of a trusting constituency, each took upon himself and his conscience a most solemn ob- ligation and oath, for tho faithful per- formance aud keeping of which, they, each, with uplifted hand, promised, vowed, and swore before Almighty God. The state enacted that they should take that solemn oath before they could perform ore legal or official act, This perquisite was deemed cssential by the higheat legis- lation authority of the state, upon the theory that men will be bound by their solemn oaths, when nothing else will bind them. Practice has demon- strated tho verity of this thecry as a rule, although frequent lamentable exceptions to that rule are not want- ing That oath, as solemn and as con- science binding as it is possible for a human being to take or charge his soul with the keeping, called God to witness the fact that they and each of them would support the constitu- tion of the United States and of the state of Towa, and faithfully per- form their several duties und’«’:r the state made for their guide and direc- tion, ‘‘s0 HELP ME GOD." Have they been bound by or kept this most solemn of all earthly obliga- tions? The votes cast at an election heldin this city on the 3d inst. were certfied up to the city council from the scveral election precincts by members of this council, who were judges of said elec- tion. This olection was presided over, the votes received, count- THE OMAHA ,DA!,LY, BEE: MONDAY OCTO BER:M._I?SIL say, “‘Get an order of court and we will stop our lawlessness but not be- forer” Ono more atep by this city counoil and mayor in the direction indicated and ballot box stuffing, tissue ballots, bulldozing and shotgun intimidation at the polls will become not only the order of the day to defeat the popular will, but eminently respectable and proferable, use not involving the infraction of solemn, recorded vital oaths and obligations, Alderman Dawson, Keller, Cavin, Spetman and Cherubim Fonda have the same right to usurp authority and perpetuate themselves in power under the old city charter, against the pro- | nounced will of the people, at all sub- - | mequent city elections, and for alltime to come, that they have to refuse to count the vote in this instauce. THEIR ACTS aro not only base usurpations, illegal, void, oath streiching and unconscion- ablo, but border on revolution, - lessness and anarchy. Such high- handed vandalism upon the funda- mental rights of the people would not be tolerated in a government of dis- potism, They should not and will not be tolerated in one of the first cities of free Towa. If these men will not take their hands off of free govern- ment in our city, they ought to be shunned and execrated by all lovers of a republican form of government as they would shun pestilence and fam ine. C. R. Scorr. An Open Lotter- Couxcrn Brurrs, October 23, 1881, Joun W. Cuarman, Esq.—DeAr Sir.—1In The Nonpareil of the 21st inst., in an article under the caption of “Reardon’s Case—A Few Plain Words,” apvears the following: ‘‘As far as state cases are concerned, very few, if any, convictions have been secured under the management of our present county attorney, and between that official and the mysterious ways of somoe of our justice courts, erimi- nal after, of whose guilt scarcely a scintilla of doubt vxisted have been permitted to go ‘scot free.’” So far asthis paragraph reflects upon my- self as county attorney it is absolutely and UNQUALIFIEDLY FALSE and basely libelous. Two days have passed since it appeared and it still re- mains unexplained an unretracted, an open, bold and malicious libel. You have had ample time to have it cor- rected and retracted if false. The records of all the justices in the city are open for your inspection, and your “‘present county attoruey” challenges any investigation of them. I now ask of you, as editor and principal owner of The Nonpareil, that forthwith in your paper you pub- lish a full and complete retraction of the entire paragraph I have quoted. T ask also that you apologize for its publication, nm{ your retraction be put in plain and ea, tallied and certified by members of the city council under an oath as ofticers and judges of that elec- tion. They certified under oath that there were a majority of 257 votes cast at that election in favor of aban- doning the old city charter. Section 437 of the code, in express terms provides that the city council “‘shall (not may) canvass the same and declure the result which shall be en- tered on the journal.” Section 438, with equal emphasis, provides ‘‘if a majority of the votes cast at such election be in favor of the abandonment of the charter, the council shall immediately call a special election for the election of of- ficers for such corporation according to its class,” The duties of these officers, as above defined and so expli citly marked out, were the express duties they and each of them 8o solomnly swore they would each do and perform. They knew this when they took the oath. They know it now. They cannot plead ig- norance and at the same time clsim intelligence. They did not take an oath to decide the legality or illegali- ty of that election. They are not ju- dicial ofticers. There is no law giving them any judicial functions whatever in respect to that matter. Moreover, the supreme court has decided that they have no ‘“‘authority or discretion but to count the vote and declare the result.” They knew when they refused to canvass that vote that they had NO AUTHORITY IN LAW, morals, religion, or their oaths so to do. They knew that their oaths re- quired them to count that vote. They knew that the law required them tv count that vote. They knew that they had no authority to pass upon legal questions in respoct to that mat- ter. They had no more authority under their oaths and the law they were sworn to support, to refuse, or even delay, the counting of that vote, than thoy had to stuff the ballot boxes with tickets ‘‘against abandonment,” or to form into a lawless mob and by force break up the election, and in that way defeat the will of the people. There is the same license for the one s the other, There is no legul licenso or authority for either, The ono is just as respectable and respect- ful as the other. The latter mode of defeating the popular will has this to say in its favor: The outrages upon the election franchise may not be done under oath. In the former mode the outrage is perpetrated under an oath., Both modes of proceduro are “‘twin relics” of usurpation, violenge and wrong. Both I to the same inevitable, , deplorabloflend. a denial of the right of the people peacibly to decide by ballotjtheir choice or will i any public matter, as the other deals A DEATH BLOW at the heart and vitals of all civilized organized society. The one as much as the other, with unerring certainty, aims death’s arrow at that vital * prin- ciple of all republican form of gov- ernment—the majority’ rule. 'The one as much as the other exemplifies and verities that other axiom, ‘*Where tyrants rule the people do mourn,” They tell us ‘‘when you got an or- der of court we will count the votes but not before.” As well might they say, ‘‘we will obey our oaths when ou get an order ot court but not be- ore.” In fact to be con- sistent, that is what they ought to say. This is what the peo- ple say of and for them. As well might the mob that is, by violence, umvmmni(1 the peopie from express- pressing their choice at an election, The cne as much N | agont of the Chi UNEQUIVOCAL TERMS, in order that as nearly as possible those who have read the article in question may have equal opportunity to learn through the same medium that the paragraph, as it stands, is false and libelous, and does gross in- justice to one deserving better treat- ment for his diligence and efforts in attending to the criminal business of the city. If your retraction fails to avpear promptly after the publication of this open letter to you, then I shall take it that you desire the proprietors of the Nonpareil to be held responsi- ble, and I shall govern myself accord- ingly.

The city council paid Andy Graham for all he has ‘done for the city in the way of beautifying Grandview park by ‘‘decapitating” him, The committee on internal improve- ments, Messrs. Churchill, Dawson and Spetman, met on Saturday morning, with Metcalf and McKune, and the body concluded to carry out the wishes in full of the counly board of supervisors, by adding Andy Graham to the committee to carry on the work, J. 7, Brown left this city on a busi- ness trip last Friday night.

There were no services at the Pres- byterian church yesterday, the Rev. C’l’ulmd not yet having returned from the meeting of the synod. J. 0. Phillippi, superintendent of the B, & M. railvoad, arrived in Coun- cil Blutis Saturday, and left the same evening for Lincoln, Nebraska, Our young county attorney, Jacob Sims, has been the medium through which our county has achieved quite a signal victory. During B. W, Hight's administration a suit was commenced by him in behalf of Pottawattamie county, to recover quite a large sumn of money, nearly $2,000, from Madi- son county, for the support of an in- sano pauper, It was predicted at the time the suit was commenced that our county would fail, and after Mr, Hight went out and Mr, Sims suc- ceeded to the conducting, a compro- mise was advised, Mr. Sims, how- ever, declared he was equal to the task, and he went on, with the above result. The full amount recovered and paid into court subject to the or- der is $2 000, which will immediately be turned over to the treasurer of the county. Quite a racket took place in one of our Broadway saloons lato Saturday night. Oneof the participants was knocked through the window on to the sidewalk, Notwithstanding the uninviting condition of the weather, the funeral of Thomas Homer, late enginocer of the Bluffs City steamer, was largely attended. After the obsequies, con- ducted at the house, F. T. Webb, of the Episcopal church, officiating, the procession formed in the following order: Music, Prof, Olker's band; members of the Omaha fire depart- ment; Council Bluff’s firo department; 0dd Fellows; hearse, followed by the'! Torses belonging to the steamer, de- corated with emblems of mourning; relatives; mayor and city council; friends in carriages. The remains were interred in Fair View cemetery.
