Th Order Withholding I'uttnm

It will be remembered tbat aii order
was issued by the Secretary of the Treas
ury, under date of December 15tb, 1879,
that information from the records of the
Custom House relative to the shipment
or importation of any particular article
of merchandise should not We furnished
to those applying for it. A test case was
made by the Produce Exchange here
and a request for the information being
refused Col. John L. Cantwell. Secretary
of the Exchange, communicated with
the New York. Produce Exchange, and
efiortsWrtrmByby bothK-ihangc to
have the order rescinded. .Those were
unsuccessful at the time but yesterday
Col. Cantwell received a telegram
from Mr. F. II. Parker, the Prer.
ident of the New York Exchange,
congratulating the members of the Ex
change here on the success of their efforts.
No information other than this has been
received here, but it is judged from the
tenor of the dispatch, that the New York
Exchauge has been successful, nnd
th 1 the order has at last been rescinded.
It has been well said," In Union there

The Market Question.
'Pursuant to tho call published in
the" daily papers yesterday, a
meeting of the citizens "opposed to the
New Market" was held at the old market
house at 8 o'olock last night. .
Col. Roger Moore called the meeting
to order and announced that Mr. Horace
A. Bagg would address the meeting. At
tho conclusion of Mr. Bagg'i remarks
the following resolutions were offered
and adopted, and the meeting adjourned:
WDEeeas, Tho Board of Aldermen,
without tho consent or concurrence of the
Board of Audit a"nd Finance, have made
a contract with the New Market Com
pany, which we believe to be illegal and
detrimental tq tho best interests of the
city and its tax-payers ; Therefore, be it
resolved,
First. That we, tax-payers, in mas3S
meeting assembled, do .pledge ourselves
to resist by all legal means the said ille
gal contract until approved by said Board
oi Auait ana j: mancc.
Second. That we condemn tho action
nf thr Mavor. and thnsn Aldermen who
j , .
signed said contract without submitting
the same to the Uity Attorney ior ms
opinion as to its lecalitv. 1
" - o w
Third. That in refusiujr to submit said
contract to the Board of Audit and
Finance, we believe they the Board of
Aldermen- havr triinsr.ended their
authority and deserve the cerisure of all
gooa citizens.
Fourth. That we have every confidence
in the Board of Audit and Finance, and
we look to them to see that the best in
terests of the city are in every way pro
tected, before endorsing r or approving
said contract. .
