COLUMBUS NEWS.

I'VE did not receive Columbus news Of Fri
day last till next morning-of course we laid
that batch aside.1
COLUMBUS, June rs.
CONTESTED ELECTION CAsE.-The reading Of
the testimony in the contested election case
was again resumed last night by the City
Council, and at the adjournment about fifty
pages of tho depositions were still unread.
The remainder, it is supposed, will be finished
up on Monday evening next.
QUAsHED.-The indictment against James
McAvOy, for illegal voting, was quashed by
Judge Bates in the Court of Common Pleas
this morning.
THE SCIoTo BRIDGE.-The crowd Of vagrants
and lewd women that tinfest, and make their head
quarters on the bridge at the foot of Broad
street, is a nuisance to the citizens residing in
that locality, and should be abated soon as pos
sible. Respectable ladies who have occasion
to pass over this structure are daily and nightly
insulted by their vulgar remarks. Our police
know that they have their quarters there, but
it being out of their jurisdiction, we must in
quire who has the authority to place police
man there. viii the Honorable City Council
inquire into the matter and give the citizens Of
the west side of the river the satisfaction that
they yet have some morality left amongst
them? .-lf Ir
LocALs.-At present, all kinds of local mat
ter is scarce in the capital city however, your
reporter daily tramps over the rounds, seeking
items of facts and Importance to the thousands
of readers of the Daily Press in this vicinity,
and they may hereafter rest assured, that they
will receive the latest and best news of the
city, published in any Of the dailies delivered
to our citizens. 1t will hereafter be the aim Of
your reporter to furnish locals in advance Of
either of our city dailies, so that all may see
that there is no "re-hash " of their matter.
DIssATrsFIED.-Many of our business men
are very much dissatifed with the arrangement
between the L. NJ. C. & X, and the II. & d.
Railroads, that if the Hamilton and Dayton
road would refuse all freight hereafter for Co.
lumbus, that the L. NJ. road would refuse the
Dayton freight. These roads have perfect right
to make such arrangements, but our business
men claim that they should have their freight
shipped from Cincinnati over any route that
pleased them, or when they shipped goods to
Cincinnati, to have the same right to chip
them over any route they may see proper. We
think if the H. Il D. Road would look to its
own interests this contract would soon be re-
scinded. .......s
| CONTINUED AGAIN.-The cases of John Wi
der for burglary, and sars. Clark, was again
continued-wider's until Monday at o'clock
P. M, and Clark's until Friday next. The
bail of both was increased--the former to 5000
and the latter to $500. ........
