RECORDERS CoURT.-The Recorder
had his usual variety yesterday, or
perhaps little more so.
AS the ancient Latins were accus-
toned to commence all things with
Jove, the Recorder, when it is in his
way, commences with Jim Mulligan
Mulligan, as we recorded yesterday
morning, had been drunk, disorderly
and belligerent for about the tenth
time, and as usual, when he is in
trouble, resisted the officers, and came
night breaking the necks of two of
them. He was tried only on the first
offence, and was fined 800, with 81 30
costs. 1t might as well have been
100000, so far as any paying was con-
cerned. He went to Jail as matter of
course, and in wo weeks will be up
again.
James Butler was drunk and in
decent, and fined 81, with Sc % costs.
He, too, is in jail
NIdttHCh Wdc duu went

f33Wm. Conada was charged with as
saulting and battering Michael Burke.
They had quarrel on the wharf. and
Conada struck at Burke, and the lat
ter caught his finger in his mouth, and
they were separated. They met again
on Locust Street near Seventh. and
renewed the quarrel, and Conada
managed to get the better of the
fight, and drew some blood; and
Burke appeared in court with his
head fixed up with court plaster and
bandages. Conada said Michael did
his endeavors." however, but was
manifestly loser in the fight. Conada
was fined S. with So 40 costs, which
a friend paid for him. .-sas

KENTUCKY ITEMS.

A saloon keeper called PONY, ;" and a
resident of Paducah, had little trouble
with his wife last week, and, in the hope
to find a more congeniaf cIime, took big
dose of arsenic, which proved too much for
his delicate stomach-ft did not stick-so
his exit from this, vale of tears has been
Indefinitely postponed.
The Paducah Herald sensibly advises the
people of that section of country to send
their wool to Evansville for sale or manu-
facture, and states that it can be manu-
featured in this city at cheaper rates. and
in as good style as elsewhere. The Herald
states the case right. People of Western
Kentucky will find it greatly to their ad-
vantage to trade in this city, no matter
what they have to sell. 10 JI..- ga

Local Politics,

There is a prospect of the Wander
burgh Democracy having a. little
amusement in local politics. Some
of the leaders have been so long de-
prived of the inestimable privilege of
holding offices of trust and profit,
and are so hungry that they have
made up their minds to run the ades-
perate chance of a race for the Sher-
itfalty One of them, wonderfully
elated at his success in slipping into
the City Council, under the cry of
no party, and through division
in the Republican ranks, is anxious
TO make the race. But inside of
his. own party is "a Democratic soia
der, who has been vainly waiting for
reward of his services to his party
and his country, and he thinks it is
time his claims were recognized. We
have heard much from the Courier of
the ingratitude of Republicans in
thrusting aside old soldiers for stay
at-heme patriots" The DEMOCRACY
