Tli e Funding ol City Bonds. From a visit to the treasurer's office at the! City Hall this morning we gleaned the following information which we think will be of interest to our many readers, and all others as well, who are interested in the finances of this city.j As is well known the present ai ministration obtained permission by ad act passed at the last General Assembly of this State to issue new'boads to the amount of $200,000; said bonds to be sold or exchanged for those, outstanding bonds that had ma tured, at not less! than par, the proceeds from the sile of this new issue to be ap applied exclusively to paymeut of bonds and coupous past due. In other words, the $199,900 of bonds and coupons past due, the most of which debt this present administration received as ft legacy from the Radicals who had control of the city government for the ten preceding years, was to be funded in bonds bearing six psr cent interest and running 18 and 20 years, but with the privilege en the part of the city to redeem the whole amount at the expiration of ten years if they de sired so to do. The funding has now been going on for one or two months, and we are informed that in that time there have been received in the treasurer's office some $80,000 in matured bonds and coupons. ; Except $23,000; the whole amount of bonds outstanding to be funded bear six per cent, interest. 1 1 The large proportion of this outstand ing bonded debt which is being funded was issued during the Dawson adminis tration of 1856 in payment of stock taken and subscribed to by the city in the Wil mington, Charbtte & Rutherford Rail road 1 (now the Carolina Central) every dollar of which has been lost by the in solvency of tbat corporation. The $23,000 mentioned abore are in seven per cent, bonds, which is part of the issue made for the erection of the City Hall. Of this last named amount $16, 000 have already been funded, which leaves $7,000 of seven per cent, bonds still outstanding. Of this latter sum the State Board of Education holds $5,600, the remaining $1,500 being held bydifler- nt individuals, Itshould be .borne in mind that of this debt of $199,900, which is now being funded at one hundred cents on the dollarprincipaljand interest, $50,000 in1 bonds dees not fall due until February 1st, 1880. This, we think, ia a first-rate showing and speaks well for the financial ability as well as integrity of tha present city ad- 1 ministration. In addition to the foregoing exhihit, the present Democratic administration have reduced the city debt over $50,000 and the city taxes thirty-seven and a half per cent. And we are now author ized to state by the proper city officials that coupons on all city bonds falling due on the 1st of January, 1880, and all there after, will be paidjn cash at the City Treasurer's office in this city, on the very day that th y are due. What a blessing it is to have an honest administration of government in local affairs even if we can't get Honest John Sherman and his confederates to explain the $200,000,000 discrepancy in tho National Treasury.

Baker has established a depot for the sale of millinery and hair goods at the corner of Third and range streets, filling a want, we are inclined to believe, long felt in that section of the city, oae baa lots of new goods of the latest styles and designs and invites the ladies to call and inspect the stock . -e City Court. William Sears colored, was iutei viewed by the Mayor this morning for disorderly conduct, the testimony in the case beiDg to the effect that the defendant was put out of a seamen's boarding- house at.d bar room on North Water street, by the pro prietress, last night, when he flourished a stick with intent to strike the person who ejected him. Officer Grant then appeared upon the scene and arrested the belligerent individual and carried him t the Guard House. It beiug the first iffenee, His Honor suspended judgmeut upori payment of costs. Dick Deadeye was the next case on docket, the charge being diunk and down. 1 There being nothing else preferred against the defendant, judgment was sus pended upon paymeut of costs. Stephen White,! him of the tragic dramatic notoriety mentioned in the Kk view yesterday as being in training for a second appearance at the Mayor's Court this morning, did not disappoint our ex pectations. He appeared in the last scene of the last act ofthe Court this morning. The charge preferred was drunk and down. When asked by the Mayor what he had, to say for himself, be clamed to be an Englishman, and said that he reach ed this city on Tuesday last from! Bur gaw, that he would te 75 years bid ia February next, if he lived to see the day of the anniversary of his birth, tbat he was a stage actor by profession and talk -ed nothing but poetry, but notwithstand ing this assertion the old fellow was be ginning to get quite prosy when the May or asked him if he did not know that it waswrong to get drunk? 'Ye8,yer honor," was the reply and then as the distin guished defendant proceeded to make , a quotation from Pope's Universal prayer, he remarked "but Alexander Pope has said," 1 i. "Teach me to feel another's woe 1 Another's grief to see; That mercy I to others chow That mercy ihoiv to me." But apparently thinking that this pa thetic appeal was not strong enough to secure the clemency of the Court, he added his own earnest words and forget ting again his assertion that he spoke nothing but poetry, began to get rather prosy once more when theMayor told him he would suspend judgment provided he would leave the city by 12 o'clock to-day. "I will leave.it within Jaa hour's time, sir, and never come back again," was the response. "If you are found ia the city after 12 o'clock today I will imprison you for SO days," remarked the Mayor. "Aye, aye sir, you may hang me, you may hang me, sirl" was the emphasized reply of the crashed tragedian as hewalked off and made his exit by ths nearest door to the street. ' i I And so ended the last act of the play of Stephen White, the five and twenty years actor and ten year harlequin .
