Democratic Nominee
e FOR JUSTICE OF THE PEACE,
JACOB KRONENBlTTER.
ELECTION-sATURDAY, JULY sOTH.


ELECTION-sATURD JULY sOTH.
REAL NEGoTIAToRs.-A venerable pair
of Quakers, filed with enthusiasm in favor
of that peace which their religion incul-
Gates, were in this city few days ago, stop
ping at the National Hotel, their object be-
ing to secure the recommendation of Gov
ernor Brough for pass to go through our
military lines and prosecute their mission
in Dixie. They had with them numerous
recommendations and endorsements from
nearly all the Governors of Northern States,
lawyers, divines, politicians and distin-
guished personages., The venerable couple
were deeply impressed with the conviction
that they could affect an arrangement be-
tween the belligerents in the present un-
civil war. If earnest enthusiasm and re-
ligious sincerity would effect that consum-
nation, their emission" would doubtless be
crowned with success. 80 '' -.
POLICE CoURT.-The business before the
municipal judge yesterday morning did not
consist of numerous array of cases, but
the few that were disposed of were Of an
extraordinarily hard description. One fe-
male, attired in the tattered uniform of
soldier, leered upon his honor in the most
engaging style while apologizing for the
singularity of her outfit and relating her
story. She was a stranger in the city,
having first changed her base from the
guard house at Camp Chase to the streets
of the town, where she was compelled to
capitulate and accept headquarters at the
Station House. She was remanded to serve
out sentence of twenty days. -.v
Another female appeared, wearing SOL
dier's hat and jacket. When interrogated
as to why she selected SO outlandish cos
tune, she replied that it was her taste. For
indulging in this unusual taste she was re-
mitted to her cell.
The other cases were the usual desperate
drunks and disorderlies, who were allowed
the alternative of enlisting in the city's
service on the chain gang or loaning the
treasury the usual sum of three dollars.
CONTRARY TO ORDINANcE.-Certain par
ties of equestrians and fast horse drivers
are in the habit of making a race course
out of Town and Rich streets, to the i'm
minent peril of pedestrians and the multi
tudes of children who frequent those
thoroughtares. Every evening half a dozen
buggies are seen racing up and down street
at fearful rate of speed, which is only
slackened when High street is approached,
and there is danger of running into an
officer. There is an ordinance against this
kind of fast driving within the corporate
limits, and if the good sense Of the people
interested does not induce them to abandon
the practice the law should be applied for
to produce the correction. ... Ell
