Mayor Vaugban and the Coun- cil Hold Their Farewell. The Cry of Fraud, and Promise of Criminal Prosecution. The Mayor Says Fine Things About Himeelf and] Tickles the Uouncil Also. The ecity council met yesterday afternoon for its last obsequies, all being present, and the mayor presid- ing. Mayor Vaughan opened the doings as follows: Gestuemes or tHe Councin: We are here to canvass the votes cast for city officers on Monday, March 6th, 1882, I am pained to say that I have positive proof of votes having been cast by a number of minors, many non-residents, and unnaturalized citi- zens, and of voters that were bought and sold. Our laws, however, are such that this council is powerless to remedy the evil, and the only method to protect a community from law- breakers of this kind seems to be by! criminal prosecution. I sincerely trust, therefore, in order to prevent a repetition of the crime that these il- legal voters will be dealt with accord- ing to law. .1 would recommend that you instruct the recorder to retain the ballots and books, and all papers eon- nected with the late election for future use and investigation.” 1he council ingtructed the recorder in compliance with this recommenda- tion. General bills, petitions, and minor matters were presented and disposed of, and reports received from the sev- eral committees, Ald. Fonda, of the committee for locating the hand engine in Streets- ville, reported that no place could be the new council. The formality of canvassing the vote was gone through with and a resolution adopted declaring the per- sons olected, whose names have al- ready been given by the press in the report of the results of the election, on Plattner | for each judge and clerk of the elec- street. It will await the incoming of the | tion, all voling in its favor except 264 election were also allowed, including ~Those arriving from Des Moines to- | rent for polling places, broken doors, An allowance of 810 was granted Ald. Phillips. Other expenses for windows, scrubbling out, lights and fuel. At the finish of the routine of bus- iness Mayor Vaughan offered the fol- lowing farewell words: GenTLEMEN oF THE CoUNciL:—As our official relations cease with this meeting, it seems a fitting time for a Enrfing word. These relations have eon, I trust, mutually pleasant and profitable, and I am free to confess, that my own efforts for the general lunches, for persons accused with crime to swear that the justice before whom they are brought is prejudiced, and have the case sent to some other court, Sometimes two or more justices are included in the affidavit, the defend- ant taking his oath that both or all nredprl-judlc.d, 80 a8 to necessitate the sending of the case to some partisular justice by whom he, for some special reason, desires to be tried. In many ot these cases tho affidavit is thus drawn up and subsoribed to, not be- cause of any known prejudice, bul simply because the accused prefers some other justice, and sometimes for the purpose of delay. This abuse of the change of venue privilege on the part of the defendant, has been one of long standing, and it has now been followed by one of like abuse on the part of persons prosecuting, and who, too, desire to have the caso tried by some particular justice, and who are determined to get 1t sent there even by resorting to trickery to do it. The prosecution in many cases, bound to check the defendants from chosing so particular justice, has also been practicing a little trick. The prosecation decides what justices it does 1iot 10 have try the case and than causes those justices to be subpwened as witnesses. If a change is then sought by the defense the case cannot be sent to these justices, as they aro witnesses in the case, and in nearly every such case the justice 18 not call- ed ou to testify at ‘all, and in fact knows nothing about the case. The justices of this city have decided time and again that when a change of venue is asked for they cannot send the case to the nearest justice if that justice is & witness in the ca The prosecu- tion, knowing this, bars out such jus tices as it wishes by subpcenaing them as witnesses, even when they have no idea of using them on the stand. A fair example of how changes of venue are worked occurred yesterday. While everything may have been all straight about it, yet it shows how easily ‘abuses may creep in. Several of those accused of being concerned in the row at Anderson’s saloon some time ago, were brought before Justice Abbott to answer to a charge of as- sault with intent to murder. The de- fendauts presented an affidavit to the effect that Justice Abbott and Justice Bond were both prejudiced. It was evident that they wanted neither of those justices. On the other hand the prosecution came in and called atten- tion to the fact that it had subpcenaed Justice Frainey and Justice Buird as witnesses, and the cases could not therefore be sent to either of those. This piuned the hearing of the cases down to Recorder Burke, and the apers were accordingly sent there. here are already charges pending in BLUFFS, I0WA, SA'l‘ULDVAn MARCH 11 1882 covered, although its possessor is now enjoying tair health. Couneil Bluffs brickmakers are ask- ing 813 or 14 a thousand at the yard, Last year the brick could be put into the wall for about that price. The Winnebago Review says sev- eral citizens of that county had the Dukota fever so badly that they could not wait for daylight, and forgot to eall around and notify their creditors. While prosyecting for conl near Ot- tumwa, a few days ago, George W. Kitterman struck a flowing stream of water, which rose to the surface, and is now a full-fledged artesian well. According to a Davenport census 136 new buildings have been erected in Davenport, or buildings sabstan- tiall mngu over, during the year end- ing March 1. These represent a cost of from $200,000 to §225,000. The expenditures for the city of Clifton for the last municipal year amounted to $32,708.82 against §23,- 821,64 for the year 1880 1. The city last year expended $7,463.80 for sewers and drainage, against §,1263.46 the year before. A wolf hunt in the vicinity of Affon, Union county, last Monday, in which over eight hundred men participated, resulted in the capturing of but one (- wolf. Not atalldiscouraged with this meagre reward for their exertions, they ure organizing another party for the sume purpose. The business men of Avoca are somewhat excited over a recent dis- covery by oune of their number of a note, which he picked up on the street, in which a plot to burn the town, in case certsin of the business men should take steps to enforce the collection of certain debts due them by the laboring men, was partilly dis- closed. It would probably go hard with the author of the note if he could be found, as there is no disposition on their part to trifle with advocates of this sort of communisin. A KEOKUK LADY, Whose First Beau Was General Grant When He was a Farmer’s Boy. The Keokuk Constitution professes to have interviewed a lady living in that city who once lived on a farm ad- joining that of General Graut’s boy- hood home, and who was courted by the man who efterwards became the the president of the United States. The early sweetheart of General Grant is said to be a lady considerably advanced in years, yet still large, active and buoy- |, ant, and not nearly so reticent as the |1 general. She talked cleverly, poiut- edly, and honestly, having lttle to keep back, and appeared to be a fair that court agaiust the same defenc- ants, arising from the same row, aud the whole matter will probably be transterred by him to Justice Ayles- worth, This case alone shows how easily it can be worked when the prosecution good of the eity, would have been neutralized, but for the hearty co-op- eration of every branch of the city | fendar ems government, and your frequent ex-|likewise. In many cases it i simply preasions of encouragement and good will, As a council you have labored in harmony and with energy for the desires to have only certain justices try a case, as well as how easily de- fendants can accommodate themselves a farce, us justices are subpcenmd as witnesses when they have never heard or learned anything covcerning the successful Christian Living.” BSubject of | best interests of the city at large, and | matters at issue and when they are the evening dissourse, 7:30 p. m., “‘Spend- have seconded every effort of my never in fact expected to tostify.

X “=Viughan, throngh his party organ, The Noupareil, annotnces that he has abandoned all idea of contesting the elec- tion, It is well thet he has done so, Such a contest would result in no change, and’ could only stir up a strife without any purpose. If there has been any fraud, Vaughan is the wrong man to lead in the work of exposure. and reformation. ~One man, who had taken a twenty. five cent dirt ticket In trade, tried to oash it yesterday. e applied to an alderman first, was referred to the recorder, called on him, was told to go to Alderman Cburchill, and found out that by making out & bill Churdhill would audit it, the council would audit a warrant issued, and after getting the warrant he could sell that for what hecould get. And all this red tape to get twenty-five cents cash for ticket calling for twenty-five cents, The xed tape discouraged him. —There is a great demand here in this «<ity for small houses for workingmen. If capital will push into buildiog h uses| which.can be rented from $12 to 815 a month it will finl profitable investments. Thers is not nearly enough small houses wow, and as & consequence of the supply {ullivg so fur behind the demand, the few March 3, 1882, you did me the honor to adopt the following resplution, firo rly authenticated by Recorded urke ; ‘‘Be it resolved, That we tender to Mayor Vaughan our thanks for his courtesy and kindness shown the al- dermen during his term of office, and we desire here to officially say that we are confident that he has done all in his power for the good of our city, and we fhave implicit confidence 1n him as an official and a citizen, and weare sure that he has labored faith- fully and honestly for the good of our city.” The following certificate is also of unusual significance at this time: ‘I certify that Mayor Vaughan has remitted no gambler’s or prostitutes’ fines during his term of office,” F. A, Bynke, s City Recorder. All this is_gratifying to myself, for there is no higher reward. for a public official than & fair appreciation ot his labors, expressed by representative men.

Tu spite of their protests they were hurriedly placed in thoe carriage, covered with robes, and rapidly driven away. 1t is claimed that the sbduction of theso two girls, both of whom are under twelve years of age, was the outcome uf a fawmily trouble between Mr. Edwin Parker, the father of the two girls, and his wife, and that he was the one who thus kidnapped the givle,.
