Why don't you have a regular CORES pondent in
| this place Ifyou knew tho vast number Of Her
aids, that your faithful and gentlemaAlyn agent,
Woodward, 4 he must pay up more regularly, how
ever-ED. HER.,l disposes of weekly, you would
know something Of the iatsrest which our citizens
take in the success Of your paper The truth is, ST.
Louis is behind place in the United States in the
occurrence Of incidents which might serve to in
terest and occasionally amase the country. lo Az
Some Eve or six weeks ago, one Of the Judges
here, named Mullanp fined one of our most talen
ted, amiable and respected lawyers, one hundred
and fifty dollars fer not droppng his chair in the
Circuit Court room, the moment the word . drop"
was given. About q week after this affair, the
oppressed and uusatised lawyer met the Judge and
gave him couple Of raps on the head, by way of
set of to the grievious fines Upon the infiicton Of
the aforesaid sounding raps, his Judgeship jerktd
sword from his ivory headed cane, and gave an in
effectaal thrust or two. The assailing party then
had perilous recourse 10 ant. mahogany stocked
pistol, hat happily for the breath of the sc Court"
did not deal out much peril from its yawning muz-
zlc. About this time the two vaiiants were separa
ted, and each went his way, nuttering very UNI
brothely thingsu upon each others sacred heads The
next day they were both paraded before the city
Recorder, and fined for an improbable bre.ch Of
the public peace. The matter slept quietly untia
few days ago.; whsa the Grand Jury Of the county
Of st. Louis, walked into the CRIMINAL Court and
handed up 10 the accomplished Judge Bowlin,an in
dicment against Judge Bryan Mullanply, Of The
Circuit Court Some were delighted with the
thing, swore it was just the thing, and others
said that there was not /" sufficient cos for asy
such proceedings against his offending and Offend
ed Honor The indictment charges :" oppression,
tyranny and abuse of office" There can be no
dosbt but what some few indiscretiens may be laid
at the judicial door Of his Judgeship. But then he
is young man, and has had but short experience

ago, and found asupendous amount OF gal business
before the Court unfinished. he has often sat IN
Court from ten the morning until near midnight,
adj0urning only an hour for Gunner. For all his
good deeds his enemies award him no praise, but
easily remember and enlarge ut pleasure, his few
slight indiscretions. He will be arraigned for trial
