ana Iom Mcguire, the theater man, OF San Fran
cisco, applied to Judge Deadly, of the United
States Circuit Court, for an injunction, first to
restrain Mcguire from playing the . Black
Crook, and the latter tc prevent the Martinettis
from bringing out the " Black Rook, each claim
ing the copyright to the play for the Pacific
coast. From testimony adduced it seems the
" Black Rock is plagiarism on the :" Black
Crook and neither possess any dramatic merit.
The play brought out in New York few
months since, and became notorious for its lib
eral display of the human form by troupe of
ballet-girls, and though considered little i'm
modest, yet its production at one of the first
class theaters called out the elite of the city.
Judge Deadly denied both applications, and de-
lvered a moral essay on the improperly Of en-
couraging amusements Of such immoral tenden-
cies. His decision having been published it re-
mains to be whether the curiosity of the
Bay people will oyerreach Judge Deadly appeal
to their self-respect. Meanwhile both parties
are giving performances to crowded houses and
the audiences appear to be delighted with the
display.
REMARKABLE ARGUMENT. - In the case of
Mccall, the Sonoma secessionist who exulted
over the assassination of President Lincoln in
the most fendish terms, against General McDow-
ell, for false Imprisonment the Judge Deadly
returned verdict for damages in favor of the
assassnatonist. In the of his decision
Deadly says 81 In this case the arrest and i'm
prisonment Of the plaintiff although without au-
thority of law, was, | may say, procured and
provoked by conduct on his part Mt once danger
and disgraceful, and well calculated, at that
moment of intense public feeling and anxiety, to
have brought harm on himself and trouble TO the
community That being the case, the Flag is
.
Mcdowell punished. The decision is calculated
to inspire others of Alcatraz " notoriety with
hope.
How THEY LIKE IT John Mitchell, who
turned traitor to the flag that shielded him from
British ire, and labored for the success of q
Southern aristocratic revolution, has written a
letter to n Minnesota Feaian, deprecating the
course pursued by the brotherhood in asking for
large sums of money, under the pretension that
it was needed for the armng of the Fenians for
the proposed attack on the British troops in Ire
land Evidently Mitchell is not as much of
patriot now as when he took up Ireland g cause
with but a mere handful of supporters. a resi-
dence in a rebellous section has materially al
,ered his views of the sacred of Ireland, I
and his coIntrymen will no doubt observe it.
SICKNESS is an afflirtion that waits on US all. I
None are exempt and there are none but need
relief from its attacks. Whoever furnish .
this becomes our bcnefactor. a conviction pre-
walls that Dr.. Aver does it. Disorders of the
blood have been healed by his Sarsaparila, and /
II affections of the hangs by his Cherry Pectoral,
too frequently and too distinctly TO be disputed.
His Ague Cure is said by those who use it, to
never fail. Reader, if you must have medical
aid, take the best of medicine. Poor remedies
are dear good are cheap. at any price you
have to pay for them. i Charleston Courier.
