The smokey Row Affair Close OF the
Discharge Of the P-lsa
Oners.
The magistrates court met at 9 o'clock,
A NJ, yesterday, at the courthouse, and the
investigation of the Smokey Row affair was
resumed. Some six or eight additional
witnesses were examined but, as on the
previous DAYS, after the most searching in
QUESTION, nothing was ELECTED fixing the
shooting Of Crago upon either of the pris-
oners The evidence left the matter in-
volved in a fog which the most consummate
art of the advocate could not have dissi-
pated,
The counsel for the prosecution, II. H.
Harrison Esq, made the best Of his cause
and did his duty faithfully; but he could
not, with the slender materials at his com
mand. construct an argument sufficiently
convincing TO satisfy the court that there
was cause for binding the prisoners over to
the criminal court
The counsel for the defence Messrs
Brown and McClanahan ably represented
their clients, and had the pleasure Of car
rying of the honors. The court ordered
the discharge Of the prisoners, there hav-
ing been no evidence produced 10 criminate
them.
Thus ends one Of the most unpleasant af-
fairs in the criminal calendar Of the year,
out of which much ill-feeling has grown
amongs; a regiment of United States soldiers
doing duty here We hope that with the
decision Of the co0rt they will be satisfied,
modify their resentment, and behave on
the streets more in accordance with the
true soldier and republican citizen.

A MILD, DEIIGHTFJI. lNvIGoRAST.-
Our readers will bear Us witness that we
have never recommended to them any Of
the many patent medicines with which the
country is flooded, but knowing the great
benefits received by various persons from
the use Of Edward Wilder's Stomach
Bitters, we cannot refrain from saying
word in their favor. Edward Wilder, Of
Louisville i well-known throughout the
South as one Of the most accomplished
chemists and pharmacists in the country,
and in the compromising Of his celebrated
stomach bitters, has achieved a remedy,
the use Of which IL destined 10 bestow great
benefits upon the afflicted. As a cure for
dyspepsia, liver complaint and all species
Of indigestion, tie bitters stand to-day
without a rival Being compounded Of
the purest and hest ARTICLES, they will be
found entirely free from any deleterious
effects, al all times an excellent Alternative
aud tonic, fine appetizer, corrective and
mild oaihartic. We refer to advertisement
and certificate Of cases on the first page Of
our paper

"WARNINa STREET ARs.'--W noticed
a few days ago the invention Of neat little
arrangement for this purpose--nOt, how
ever, in a spirit Of fauli-fnding for their
absence from the cars Of our city. We
doubt their use in this latitude. They do
not heat the floors, or warm the feet Of pas
sengers, in proportion to the other parts Of
the car, or Of the body. During the pre-
sent, as well as previous cold snaps, the
thoughtful managers Of our roads have
substituted n layer Of fresh dry hay on the
floors, which have rendered the feet entire
" comfortable. Yesterday, and the day
before, afforded a very good test, and from
that test, il would appear that there is no
necessity for the stove business being en-
tered upon. In cities where the winters
are long and severe, they may answer very
we'll. Here, at least three-fourths Of the
Time they would be entirely cut of.

CHANCERY SALES To-DAY.-At twelve
o'clock, at the courthouse, to-day, the
Clerk and Master of the Chancery Court
will sell large amount of unusually at
tractive property. Our readers are referred
generally to the advertisement in another
column; but we call especial attention to
the sale of Gen. Zollicofer's former resi-
dence, on High street, the two store houses
on the corner of the Square and Market
street, and splendid residence of near six
acres Of land near Buena Vista Springs.
The probabilities are that all this property
will go cheap, and we advise our buying
friends to be on hand promptly at twelve
o'clock at the courthouse.

AN EVIL REQUIRING A REAIEDY.-Sec-
ton eleventh of chapter twenty-frst of the
city laws says:
THAT if an person or persons shall fire
any gun or pistol, cast, throw, or fire any
squib, rocket, cracker, or other combustible
fireworks within the limits of the corpora
ton, every such person, for every such
offense, shall forfeit and pay %he sum of
five dollars," and further, provides penal
ty of twenty dollars for the vending of
combustibles of this character to minors.
We do not think this portion of the
city laws has been repealed; but certainly
il is a nullity. We mean no reflection on
the efficiency of our city police in the exc
cution of the laws. By tacit and common
consent, it has been permitted to go unexe-
cuted. The laxity of officers in interfering
to prohibit this sport, as it is called, has not
been complained of by citizens.
We take the liberty of suggesting, how
ever, that the statute be revived if il has
been repealed, and call the attention of the
authorities to the necessity of putting stop
to this annoying, useless and dangerous
practice. At least one quite serious occur
renee has resulted from it in the past few
days, and probably many minor ones. The
wonder is that the surgeons in the city fire
and department are not in constant requisi-
ton, when every urchin in the city ispermit-
ted to throw explosive combustibles in the
faces of persons on thestreets, and into every
place that their carelessness or recklessness
may please; and when grown men omalse
themselves by sauntering through the
streets with guns in their hands, firing them
on every corner The safety of life, limb
and property demands stringent law and
its rigorous enforcement, to put a stop to
this worse than foolish practice. It is
disgrace to the city, and is not permitted
out of villages. 1t is wrong anywhere,
but in a city of this size it is criminal.
Let us have some measures to put a stop to
il at once.
