Carried. * TIIK LKVEF. Mr. Dawson reported the interview had at Chicago with Mr. Hewctt. gen- . " end manager of the Chicago & .North western ruilroad in regard to the ' leyco. Mr. Howott informed the committee that the matter would bo presented to their board of directors for action. Mr. Dawson stated that the chances were the board would iiiuot too late for any use and ho believed - lieved they would not como to any . decision in the matter when they did meet. The report was received and placed on file. Mr. D.iwson , from the cominittoo on thu Howard culvert reported nd- veraely. Report received nno con curred in. ' Mr. Unthank wished the council to excuse him from serving on the levco committee. The mayor thought as Unthank was on it ho should bo ex cused. A petition from Thomas Ofllcor . . . calling the attention of the council to the washout of the foundation to one of his houses near the Crook , on Sixth struct , was referred to the committco on internal improvements. The petition for a culvert across the road being constructed by Conrad Gioso , from his brewery to Frank fit reel , the same to bo 3x3x10 , was granted. " ' NEW HOME OAUT. Mr. Dawson reported the purchase of a now four wheeled , two horse hose carriage , wby the committee who went ! to Chicago and also road the contract. Ho reported that they had ordered l.OOQ feet of new 2A inch hose from Sbhoca Falls , Now York. Thu report was received and concurred in. Mr. Dawson recommended the fit ting up thu Blulls City hose cart - ' - iding ! and keeping the old steamer there : also the construction of a new building on the city lot on Main street for the use of the new steamer. Mr. Churchill stated that live-eighths of the taxes of Council Blulls were paid by citizens owning property south of Broadway. That in his opinion the now steamer should bo placed whore it would oiler the best protection for all this property. Mr , Bookman being present at this juncture took a hand. Ho said that the eastern portion of thu city was Uo- teruuiiod to push him and Ins neigh bors over to Oinuhu for NUB I'llOTKCTIOtf , ( "a very poor place. " ) At his own expense ho had purchased a force pump and unless the council located the now steamer somewhere near his house ho would smash thu pump and 1 lot the house take care of itself , Ho made considerable of a period with his list on the rail and retired. Mr. Bpotman thought a desirable accommodation for the now steamer could bo procured from the county without qoing to the expense of built' ' ing. The matter of loc.Uing th steamer was deferred until the nox meeting. Ari-OINT.Mr.NT8. On motion j > f Alderman DawRoi Samuel Morrison was appointed on Rinoor of the blufls City engine , vie Thomas Homes , deceased. The matter of procuring a compe tent engineer for the now steamer wa referred to the committee on fire am gas. Charles Nicholson was appointee driver of the Blulls City engine. A rcaolutiin was adopted instruct ing the recorder and chief of polieo to proceed to condemn and sell nil re volvers , knives , razors , old saws , hammers mors , briars , "bowio knives , etc. , lof on hand by burglars and snoitl thieves who were unable to pay thci lines , and that the proceeds , after pay ing fees , bo turned over to the cit ; treasurer. A. T. Ellowcll made his report showing cash on hand , $4,8 ( > ! ) .08. After transacting some few otho minor matters , the regular business o the session was concluded , when AI.DKUMAN DAWHON offered the following resolution : llcsolvod , By the council of the city of Council Blulls , that the city ut Lorney and committee of three pro cced immediately to take such stops as are neccasary to procure the righl > f way , 100 feet wide , on the line rut by the Union Pacific railroad ongi icorfl , commencing at u point near the bluff , north ot the city , and running lown snid line to a point below tin Driving park grounds , the terminntioi of said point to be located by the city engineer and committee , and that n special committee of three bo tppointed , said committco to bi composed of three members o ; ho council and ono citizen , and cm lowered to let contract for work on ho same , and said work to be undo : , ho supervision of said cohitnitteo ant city engineer ; and in view of the Into- loss of the season , would urge upon each and every one connected with his work , that they use every en deavor to vigorously push this work to in early completion , Said committee nlmll have full power to audit all bids or work done with the city and county monuy , nnd the city engineer will aid said committee in procuring ight of way , and setting grade stakes or said leveo. Andy Graham wished to bo beard > oloro this resolution was acted upon , Io stated that tliu money appropri- ted by the county was at the solid- ation of Mr. Motcnlf and himself ; hat they had pledged their word that ho money should be judiciouly ex- > oiided ; that the county board had NO FAITH n n levcp 8 foot wide on the top. 'hoy believed that a stronger levee hould bo constructed , to bo not loss han 1C feet across the top. They wore willing that the route marked 9ut by the II. P , engineer should bo ollowod , but would render no assiat- nco unless it was 10 feet wide at the op and 1 foot higher than the U. P. urvey. There seemed to spring up a misun- crstanding at once between the lembors of the board of trade pros- nt Andy Graham , H. II. Motcalf , nd Dr. McKutio. The mayor and ouncil souinod to think that the oard through these representatives md come there TO "BULLDOZE" hem into handing over into their lands the 2,000 appropriated by the ity for the purpose. The lity council oliovo that as the city must father bo lovco after U is built , keep it in opair and bo responsible for all dam- go , that the name should bo con ducted under the direction of the ity. They were willing , however , to How ono member from the board of rado to hold and handle the money. Mr. Motcalf said that the council ertainly misunderstood his position , io was not around hunting a job to audio § 2,000 of any man's money. 10 wanted nothing whatever to do vith the 82,000 ONLY HO 1'AH is ho had given his word to see that it vith the money appropriated by the ity , wont into the levee. Why the ounty board made this u condition ho ould not say. Ho then explained liat the county did not furnish the nah , but 10 per cent notes , and that . J. Brown , a man in whom the ounty board had confidence , had not nly agreed to take the paper at ar but to superintend the construe- ion of the levee without money or ivithout price , provided they came to omo understanding at once. Andy Graham said that ' if the city ouncil wore ageing to wuk'o up and iolp the board oftradu ( it was time liey were about it. Mr. Brown had ery generously offered his services ratia , provided they acted at nco. The work lied out for this vll could bo done in three weeks , nnd e wanted the council to net at once o that Mr. Blown could HUARI'KN HIM VI.OWS londuy , to make the dirt fly onTucs- ay. Dr. MoKuuu made u splendid lioooli , defering the position of the oard of trade in the matter , 'hat the board hud no desire p usurp the powers of the city coun- il. They wore after no glory in thiH usinoss. They were interested ns ilizona in getting the levee construct- 11 in the soonest possible nuiniKjr. In loquont and well chosen words ho rgod the council to act in the matter t onco. Mayor Vaughan had sot still until ow , when ho arose and gave the oard of trade u little lecture. Ho said t was no use for the city council to wear the mask any longer , and ho was oing to pull it off. Ho cached over the desk in "imi- ation of pulling on"n mask. " 'This city council , gentlemen , think 1ml you are trying to run the busi- ess of this city ; that you look upon his.august bQily as not capable with- ut you , and of constructing n levee r of expending the city's money , YOU WANT ALL TIIK OLORY. So far as your procuring the money rom the county , it is simply a mis- -ako. That money came because- the igh floods last spring drove people rom their homes on the bottoms ito the county court house or the board of supervisors to food nd clothe , Talk about your procur- ig this money. Wo can compel theme o pay it whether they wish to or not. Vo , the city council and myself , ask o odds from anybody. Wo propose to build this levee withont the nssis tanco of any money that is not givci directly to the council to bo cxpcndm by thorn. Thin lovco wilt not belon ; ( o the board of trade or the county o Poltawattntnio. The city much fatlic it , and bo responsible for It after it i built. T/io / members of the board , of trad retired with disgust. There wai a calm for a moment , when an alder man ofl'orcd the following amondmon to Mr. Dawaon's resolution : RcHolvcd , That J. J. Brown bo and is hereby authorized , to procee < nt once to the construction of the Mis souri levco , The Dawnon resolution as amcndot was unanimously adopted. The mayo appointed as that committee the com mltteo on internal improvement , witl Doctor Mclvune. On motion of Alderman dorman Fonda II. II. Motcalf was added. At the suggestion of Mayo Vaughan the council resolved to at tend TIIK FUNHIUL of the Into Thomas Hotnor in a bed ; and adjourned , Mob Vlolonos. The mayor and city council before entering upon their several official po Bilious , as the servants of n trusting constituency , each took upon himsel nnd his conscience a most solemn oh ligation and oath , for the faithful por- fonnimco and keeping of which , they each , with uplifted hand , promised , vowed , and swore before Almighty God. God.Tho The state enacted that they shouk take thut Holomn oath before they could perform oi.o legal 01 official net. This perquisite was. deemed essential by the highest legis lation authority of the state , upon the theory that men will bo bound by their solemn oaths , when nothing else will bind them. Practice has demon strated the verity of this thcc ry as n rule , although frequent lamentable exceptions to that rule are not want ing That oath , as solemn and as con- icienco binding as it is possible for a. mman being to tnko or charge his soul with the keeping , called God to witness the fact that they and each of them would support the constitu- ion of the United States and of he state of Iowa , and faithfully por- brm their several duties under the state made for their guide and direc tion , Ilavo they been bound by or kept .his most solemn of all earthly obliga tions ? The votes east at an election held in .his city on the 3d hist , were cortfled up to the city council from the several election precincts by members of this council , who were judges of said olec- ion. ion.This This election was presided over , the votes received , count- oa , tallied and certified by nembors of the city council under an oath as oflicora and judges of thatelec- ion. They certified under oath that , here 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 orms provides that the city council 'shall ' ( not may ) canvass the same and leclaro the result which shall bo en ured on the journal. " Section 438 , with equal emphasis , irovidos "if a majority of the votes iast at such election be in favor of the abandonment of thu charter , the council shall immediately call u ipecinl election for the election of of- icors for such corporation according o its class. " The duties of those officers , ns above iolinod nnd so explicitly marked out , were the express duties they and each of thorn so solemnly swore they would lanh do and perform. They know his when they took the oath. They enow it now. They cannot plead ig- mrance and at the same time chim ntolligenco. They did not 'tako on > ath to decide the legality or illoguli- y of that election. They are not ju- jcinl officers. There is no law giving liom any judicial functions whatever n rospoot to that matter. Moreover , the supreme court has ecided that they have no "authority t discretion but to count the vote nd declare the result. " They know when they refused to canvass that oto that they had NO AUTJIOIIiry IN LAW , lorals , religion , or their oaths so 'to ' do. They know that their oaths ro- inired them to count that voto. They mow that the law required them to ount that voto. They know that hey had no authority to pass upon cgal questions in respect to that mut er. They had no more authority under heir onths and the law they were worn to support , to refuse , .or oven elny , the counting of that vote , than hey had to stud' the ballot boxes vith tickets " " "against abandonment , r to form into a lawless mob nnd by orce break up the election , and in hat wny defeat the will of the people. Thoru is the same llconso for the no us the other. There is no legal iconso or authority for either. The no is just ns respectable and respect- ul as the other. The latter mode of efeating the popular will has this to ay in its favor : The outrages upon ho election franchise may not boone ono under oath. In the former mode 10 outrage is perpetrated under an ath. Both modes of procedure are 'twin relics" of usurpation , violence md wrong. Both lead to the same novitablo , doplorablclond. a denial f the right of the people peacibly to ecido by ballotjtheir choice or will in ny public matter. The ono OR much as the other deals A DKATU ntow t the heart nnd vitals of all civilized rganizod society. The ono au much as the other , with unerring certainty , iuis death's arrow nt that vital' prin- iplo of all republican form of gov rninont the majority * rule. The no as much ns the other exemplifies nd verities thut other axiom , "Whoro yrants rule the people do mourn. " They tell us "when you got an or- or of court wo will count the votes mt not bofpro. " As well might they ay , "wo will obey our onths when on get an order ot court but not be- ) ro , " In fact to bo con- istont , that is what they ught to say. This is what the poo- ilp say of und for them. AH well light the mob that is , by violence , ' revontin'g the people from express- ressing their choice at an election , say , "Got an order of court and w will stop our lawlessness but not bo foror" Ono moro stop by this city cminci nnd mayor in the direction indicntcc nnd ballot box stuffing , tissue ballots bulldozing nnd shotgun intimidalioi nt the polls will become not only the order of the day to defeat the populn will , but eminently respectable niu preferable , because not involving tlu infraction of solemn , recorded vita onths and obligations. Alderman D.iwson. Keller , Cavin Spotman nnd Cherubim Fonda have the same right to usurp authority am perpetuate themselves in power undei the old city charter , against the pro nounccd will of the people , at * 11 sub sequent city elections , and for nlltimo to come , that they have to refuse to count the vote in this instance. THEIR ACTH are not only base usurpation ? , illegal void , oath stretching and unconscion- nblo , but border on revolution , law lessness nnd anarchy. Such high handed vandalism upon the ftinda mental rights of the people would no be tolerated in u government of dis potism. They should not and will nebo bo tolerated in ono of the first citioi of free Iowa. If those men will 1101 tnko their hands off of free government mont in our city , they ought to bo shunned and execrated by all lovers of n republican form of government ns they would shun pestilence nnd fain ino. 0. 11. SCOTT. An Open Lottor- COUNCIL BI.UFFH , October 23 , 1881. JOHN W. CHAPMAN , ESQ. DKAR SIR. In The Nonpareil of the 21st iniit. , in an article under the caption of "Ileardon'o Case A Few Plain Words , " npucars the following : "As far ns ntato cases nro concerned , very few , if any , convictions have been secured under the management of our present county attorney , nnd between that oflicinl and the mysterious ways of some of our justice courts , crimi nal after , of whoso guilt scarcely n scintilla of doubt existed have been permitted to go 'scot free. " " So 'ar as this paragraph reflects upon my self as county attorney it is absolutely and UNQUALIFIEDLY FAL8H and basely libelous. Two days have massed since it appeared and it still re- nains unexplained nn unrotracted , an open , bold and malicious libel. You lave had ample time to have it cor rected .and retracted if false. The ' records of all the justices 'in the city ire open for your inspection , and your 'present county attorney"'challenges any investigation of them. I now ask of you , as editor and > rincipal owner of The Nonpareil , .hat . forthwith in your paper you pub- ish a full and complete retraction of .ho . entire paragraph I have quoted. ' ask also that you apologize for its mblication , and your retraction bo > ut in plain and UNF.QUIVOOAL TERMS , n order that as nearly as possible hose who have road thu article in juestion may have equal opportunity .o learn through the same medium hat the paragraph , ns it stands , is also and libelous , and does gross in- ustico to ono deserving better treat- nent for his diligence and efforts in Attending to the criminal business of ho city. If your retraction fails to Repeat promptly after the publication of this open letter to you , then I shall ako it that you desire tho'proprietors ' nf the Nonpareil to be held responsi- > lo , and I shall govern myself accord- ngly.
