noticed he returned, but day before yesterday
he again went off, and we presume will new

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES esed---Fled the
Hanche-GOme!
Alas! how shall we condole with our Old
Line friends OF Evansville! How shall we
bring tear to our editorial eye in sympathy
with them for this last unkindest cut of all!
Old Line Constable No. has vamosed, alb
squatulated, fled, gone to parts unknown
and worst of all, with pocket full OF con-
stabular rocks! But let US tell the plain tale
Last spring the anita americans of Evans
Vile, being a combination of Old Liners,
foreigners, Catholics, and in fact every class
who didn't believe Americans should role
merca-these men got up with good deal
of trouble ticket to represent themselves.
There were four constables to be elected,
and in Evansville, from the civil more than
the criminal business entrusted to the care OF
constables, this is an important office, at
leas, important enough to be filed only oy
competent and trustworthy men. The
Americans run good men for the othce, and
all native bern citizens, The anita merl-
cans run and elected two Germans and TWO
Irishmen to watch over the interests OF Ev-
ansvilIe! We declared these men unfit for
the Office, but particularly devoted our atten'
ton to the two Germans, who were most no.
toriously incompetent. So grossly lncompe-
tent did they prove themselves indeed, that
thew backed our opinions with their actions
SO strongly, that both were compelled % re-
sion-in other words, public opinion kicked
them out of office. One OF the lrlshmeh'
Clifford, we also insisted upon for time
shond resign, because while in Court and
engaged on duty, he fell down almost oead
drunk right in the crowd, greatly to their
alarm and astonishment. But we have as
: Contained that MIR. C. has since endeavored
- do his dutv. The fourth, and the subject
of the present obituary, Maurice Sprau'
common ced discharging his duties vigorously
but his principal fault seemed to be an over
love for ssthe crather." We let him slide
and privately urged him to do his duty Ike
man. Maurice fell once before mis- wors
foe. but he didn't fall "before court. On
faithful promise never to touch another oroi
of liquor so long as he remained in ONCE W.
lot Constable No. 4 escape the editorial pen
alties. He fell again, however,-got drunk
had 6obt. &c, &c. We then called upoi
him to resign the Office he had dIsgraceu'-
