Col. Hodge. Of the Bulletin, who is so very
anxious to say something against the South

he would have known that lion. Stephen
Cooke, is Chancellor, and that Judge Shar'
key is our Chief Justice. The Bulleline
and its friends are like spaniels in the dark,
they are as apt TO bite each other as their
enemies. Perhaps if it would take the
trouble TO learn who are orr Judges, it nigh,
