The Daily empire. (Dayton, Ohio) 1865-1867, 1867-04-20

It our memory goes back to the days of our
boyhood, when we contemplated with so
much pride our stock of Easter cggs-gaily
colored, striped and ringed ~around-amd
the sport we then had In testing the quality
of their shell with those owned by our
"chums." Happy days Of childhood, past
and gone It's true, but TO memory dear.

Government offered $4,000 for the arrest
of JoHN II. SURRATr, and we doubt not
$4,000 more was spent Ia efforts to get
him. Well, they say they caught him in
Egypt, and brought him to Washington
city, where they are keeping him closely
confined, and AFRAID to try him, though his
counsel are demanding that he be tried
they being ready to proceed with the ease.
The murdercrs of his mother are not ready
however, to risk a trial in JohH's case. The
recent developments, no doubt, make them
more cautious.

gave one of their finest Entertainment at

Poor WHITE TRAsu."-The great de-
fender of "Human Rights'-whosc whole
body may be said to "blred at every pore"
when a case of what is termed "iniusticc to
freedmen comes under his nOtice-for in
stance the refusing to feed a big, fat, lazy
niger, that won't work, or when one gets
II 'cuff" for his i~mpudence-and who in
dites lengthy articles in favor OF "lIuman
Rights, - etc, has not a word to say in on
demnation of the cruelty practiccd upon
white children right here under his nose.
In fact, he has not even made mention of
the ease of the little boy who was whipped
the other day, until he tainted, and the
windows of the school-room had to be
opened for air to relieve him. We suppose
he looks upon such cases rs pertaining only
to poor white trash,'' and unworthy of
note in the columns of his loyal Cod
and-humanity' paper. Go to, %hyporrlte!
DAYTON MARKET.-Our market was well

POLICE lTEMs.-The items gathered from
Mayor kenney's docket this morning were
not very numerous, nor Of character very
spicy.
Anna X. Lloyd, a body of the female per-
s%uasion, forgetting what was due to the
sex, went on Il drunk, got too much ahead,
and ensconsing herself in an clubhouse,
and arranging her crinoline in proper man
ner, is supposed TO have ~soliloquized

least asleep she was found by the stars"
and this morning the Mayor charged her

john NJ. Lease was in the city looking
TOR n job-was overcome by the temptations
surrounding him, INDUCED too freely, and
the result was that John got pretty drunk,
but the Mayor was l%enient, and learning
that John had obtained work, assessed 4
line of SS 20, and allowed him to depart.
JOhn will not suffer himself to be caught
mapping again.
John Hildoor, an old man, in search of Il
job, seems to have been tempted from the
path of rectitude and did fall by the way
side-the stars shed their light upon the
old man, and he appeared before Mayor
kenney this morning, and was assessed in
the sum of S. 05. The old fellow said it
was the first time, and we hope it will be
the last, that he be caught in that condi-
ton.
Joseph and George f, Lloyd, two lads,
gave evidence of what they could do, the
other day, when put upon their muscle

guilty of other disorderiy conduct, They
carried matters too far, however, and we've
brought before the Mayor this morning,
from whence they went to the station house
for ten days.
