REooRDER'si CoURT.-Business was
from fair to middling in the Recorders
Court yesterday.
Peter Brown was charged with car
rying an unlawful weapon, for which
he was fined 81, with 50 35 costs.
The unlawful weapon consisted of a
huge piece of iron called knucks,
and weighing about two pounds, and
we think 81 fne for carrying such a
villanous looking implement of MUIR
der is altogether inadequate. The
habit is alarmingly prevalent, and
light fines will not mitigate rierad-
icate the evil.
John Snyder, for throwing soda
or pop bottle at Gottleib Puder. was
fined 81, with 81 IS costs. A pop
bottle is an ugly weapon to pop man
on the head with.
Garrett Wood was dru-k and dis
orderly, for which he was required to
pay fine of ST., with s. IS costs.
Jim Sherwood, the irrepressible.
got up too much steam. and gave vent
TO his feelings by demolishing win
dows and raising the deil' generally.
James was arrested, but desired time
to prepare his defense, and the case
was continued till to-day
Michael Hahn, fearful that his ice
would melt before it was delivered,
pushed his team to a rate of speed
that collided with the provisions of
the city ordinance on the subject of
fast driving, and produced com
pound fracture which it required the
Recorder, two lawyers and jury to
repair. The plea that there was
danger of the ice melting before it
could be delivered was not considered.
and they returned a verdict OF guilty
and assessed fine of 81, with 50 80
costs. irs-l ' - -@h3

IHE LECTURE 10 NIGHT.-Ihe
members of the Trinity Church have
gone to no little expense in having
Bishop Simpson visit our city. Coming
all the way from Philadelphia, to do
SOY for the purpose of delivering his
Lecture "On the Future of our Coun-
try" They had confidence in the in
telligence of our people, and believed
that their efforts to please and instruct
them would be appreciated, besides
beneftting the Church pecuniarily.
The Lecture, We are confident, will
be one of the most entertaining ever
listened to in our city. All who go
will hear many things that will de-
light them to remember during the
remainder of their days. We are
gratifed to learn that many tickets
have already been disposed of. The
committee having charge of them will
furnish those who have not yet Sc
cured tickets with an opportunity of
doing so to-day. We hope to see
Trinity Church well filed. We ought
at least to demonstrate that we are as
much interested in first class lecture
by one of the most eloquent men in
the country, as in an ordinary second
or third rate negro show or theatre,
and are willing to pay as literally to

"Business men continue TO take a
hopeful prospect for the fall. The re-
ports of the harvest are very encour-
aging, and large demand for goods is
calculated upon. We have no desire to
disturb the general satisfaction that
prevails, but must remind our readers
that, at the present rate of our pur
chases from and sales to Europe, we
must continue togrow less and less able
to pay our debts. The interest on our
bonds in foreign hands is not less than
sixty millions year, and the amount
of our imports, even as imperfectly
represented by the Bureau of Statistics,
is considerably in excess of our exports,
thus draining us of all the gold we pro-
duce as fast as we produce it. Thus, so
far from getting nearer to specie pay
ment, we appear to be getting farther
from it, and the probability seems to be
that gold, now 40, will go still higher.
