exertions to please their patrons. VIM.
Hurd and Geo. Fillmore are her clerks.
Ike Matson is steward, and he leaves
nothing undone to secure the best the
market of the country affords for the
table of the Soutberner. Parties desir-
ing choice selections Of fish and oysters,
should call on Ike, as he generally, on
return trips, brings up surplus of those
articles .s5-I.

had the coolest weather of the season
Although the latest advices were to the
effect that the Upper Mississippi, as high
up as ST. Paul, was entirely free from

of severe frost and river frozen over
The boats in yesterday report large

still rose yesterday, with fair stage of
water to Cairo, and no boats in difficulty.

JurV Trial in the Mayors Court.

Jury Trial in the Mayors Court
There was a trial before a jury OF twelve
men in the Mayors Court OH Saturday at
ternoon. 1t was in the case of the City
against Winfield Hicks, a hack driver, who
was tried for disorderly conduct, The,
charge of disorderly conduct as we under
stand it, was based substantially upon the
ssllowing circumstances The defendant,
on the arrival of train, had placed his
hack in position at the depot favorable for
the reception of passengers, but on spot
which, the depot watchman or officer In the
employ of the railroad companies claimed,
was in the exclusive occupancy and con-
troll of those companies, and from which ne
had peremptory orders to exclude all hacks
and other vehicles not belonging to, or in
the employ of the said companies. For this
reason, the officer directed the defendant to
remove his hack to another position. This
the latter refused to do, claiming that he
had a right to remain where be was. The
officer undertook to remove the hack by
force; the defendant resisted; the former
called assistance au alteration and a
fight ensued, and the finale was the arrest
of the defendant. y 4 81 \
The trial of the case came on at 2 Z. M.
on Saturday. F. Collins appeared as counsel
for the prosecution, and S. Tay lor for the de-
Tense. Several witnesses were examined,
and quitea numberof knotty legal ques-
tions raised by the counsel and settled by
the Court. The Itrial occupied nearly all
the afternoon. The jury of twelve, after
listening patiently to the testimony of the
witnesses, the arguments of counsel and
the charge of the Court, took the case into
consideration. In short time, they re-
ported that there was no prospect OF their
agreeing upon verdict, and were discharg-
ed accordingly.

Censns of the city.

The Ward Assessors of the city had
meeting on Saturday evening, at the Office
of. the CITY Clerk in reference to taking the
census of the city. We understand that
arrangements were made for carrying out
that object, which will be further perfected
at meeting of the Assessors to be held on
Wednesday evening at the same place. The
design is, we learn, to make as accurate ana
complete a census of the city as ever has
been taken, going into minute details as to
the number of persons between certain
ages, &c. The results are to be embodied
in volume and placed among the archives
of the city for futurs use and reference.
This action of the Assessors, we feel con-
fldent. will meet with very general and
cordial approval. They will have to wait
the tardy movements of our City Council
for the compensation which may be event.
uallv awarded them. In the meantime,
they will have done work OF great pub
lie utility, and much more cheaply ana eX-
pedtiously than it could have been accom-
plished in any other way. They will com
mence taking the enumeration in their re-
spective wards about the first of May, and
we trust every resident of the city VIII
cheerfully furnish them all the information
and assistance in his Orher power.

It is palpable that the Radicals have en-
,puntered a very considerable disappoint-
ent in the way in which the South have

the President. Despite its understood

atures, not murmur comes from the

I ey express confidence that the President

The Cleveland Leader ON the Pres
70 ident's Late speech. 81

The leading Radical paper in Northern
Ohio-the oClepelaRd Leader--concludes a
terrifcally bitter article on President
JoHNsoN's 18th of March speech with the
following significant paragraph: fI b
The only thing of real significance in
this speecn-the only thing which it con-
tains, aside from a rehash and repetition of
did abuse of his sopponents-is the declara-
ton that Mr.. Johnson is still determined to
perseyere 10 his opposition to the party
which elected him. He says: II have done
what / believed the country required me 10
do. So believing, / intend TO stick tony post
ton" We had ourselves long since aban-
doned all hope that the dogmatic, imperi-
Gus and passionate man who now occupies
the Presidential chair would ever retrace
his steps. But there have been some cred
uleus Republicans who hoped that the Pres
lident would yield to Congress after the ex-
hbition of its power in the passage of the
Civil Rights bill. All such hopes thePres7
ident has extinguished in the heannOuncement
which we have quoted. 'g "frH g. p

1t is urged by FoRNEY's Washington
Chronicle, that if there are not enough
Whites in the South who ntake the IRON.
clad test oath to fill the Federal offices, that
there are plenty of Negroes there who can
take it, and that, therefore, the offices
should be conferred on them, inasmuch as
they are more deserving and more trust
worthy than any of the men who took up
arms to establish Southern Confederacy.
The President does not subscribe to this
view, and hence is denounced as a traitor
to the Republican party. ---L----.-- :.

Most unsatisfactory to the Radicals is
anything the PRESIDENT may do. If he
vetoes bill In consideration ofits palpable
violation Of the Constitution, and in consid-
Grafton of an apprehension that it will re-
tard the work of Cancellation, that is not
satisfactory to them. Ifhe delivers pub
lie address, calling attention of the people
as to who at this time are the disturbers
of the peace of the country and the sappers
of the Constitution, and Herewith the lib
critics of the people, they talk of the Presi-
dent divesting the Office he holds of the
dignity which attaches to it. II he recon-
mends the appointment of soldiers and

ious service they condemn IL as The trick Of

Making Preparation for the Re-
GiiHTl eeutiOm Of Cholera.

That this country is to have visitation
from the Cholera this summer is no longer
a matter of speculation. It is a certainty.
Ineview of this, the authorities of the cities
of New York and Brooklyn are adopting
precautionary measures that will serve to
mitigate its ravages in those cities. One
measure they have decided on must be pro-
duttive of great good. 1t is the removal
of the cellar population to healthy hablta-
tions. AS it is in orsrcrowded habitations
and filthy localities, that Cholera finds its
vistfms chiefly, there is now an imperative
necessity for people all over the country to
exercise the utmost cleanliness and moder-
alton and regularity in living. At all times
these should be exercised; but now the de-
mand is absolute. Fear should not be in
dulged In, because its inevitable tendency
IS to invite and aggravate the disease. beaEs

The Neo York Herald clamors for re-

dent. 1t insists that until this is done, the
President cannot count on the complete
success Of his policy, because ''as long as
such men as STANTON, HARLAN and SPEED
are permitted to remain in their present
positions just so long viii they use the in
fuence of their Departments against the
Executive, and for the express purpose OF
building up the Radicals" This IS true
and it is likewise true that the President
should reconstruct his Cabinet atonce. We
believe with the Herald that she has every
thing to gain and nothing to lose by prompt
actioh.- and that he should, therefore,
"boldly assume the responsibility, and
select from the ranks of the conservative
Republicans constitutional advisers to take
the place of every radical disorganizer in
bis cabinet, and he will find that it will
work like magic on the politicians in and
