RECoRDER's COURT. - Yesterday
was another regular field day" at
the Recorders Office, but few stamps
changed hands.
The first offender was Fred. Sieber
kin, who was arrested for riding
through the streets at high rate of
speed, thereby endangering the public
safety. He was taxed 81 go, which
he paid.
The next case called was Mollie
Brown, charged with keeping house
of ill-fame. The lawyers and Record
er had big time oAer this trial. II.
G. GOoding prosecuted the case for
the city, and Mcbride and Stinson
appeared for the defense.
The whole array of the jury was
challenged because they had read the
JOURNAL of Wednesday morn
ing, but what difference there
is in reading an item in the papers
and hearing it as town talk on the
streets, we cannot understand. An
affidavit was fled against the City
Marshal for corruption, by packing
the jury, but the jury was selected by
Mr.. McCutehan, the Deputy Marshal.
A large crowd was in attendance
during the afternoon, as it was a free
show, and it took half dollar to get
into the circus. The same evidence
was given as on Tuesday, and the
" objections " and points - raised bv
the Attorneys afforded a good deal of
fun to the spectators. After the evil
denoe, the lawyers made speeches
to the jury, and Mr.. Stinson
went over great deal of the same
ground that he traversed on Tuesday.
He again gave the officers fits I" for
not arresting the men who frequent
the bawdy houses, and gave the news
paper reporters several digs" init
mating that they were not always i'm
partial and truthful. The jury took
the case about six O'Clock, and in
about five minutes returned a verdict

A HEAVY MONTHS BUSINESS. -
We have been furnished a report of
the sales of tobacco made by Martin,
Gardner & Co., at the Planters
Warehouse. during the month Of
June, and their business has been
very large. Daring the month they
sold 1 ,065 hogsheads, realizing for the
same the grand total of 1859 $50.
Their receipts for the month were
much larger than was expected; yet,
prices have been we'll maintained;
aud, so far as we have heard, their
patrons have been we'll pleased with
the prices obtained for their tobacco.
To the liberal board of buyers who
have done 50 much towards sustain
ing and building up the tobacco mar
ket, Martin, Gardner & Co. acknowl-
edge their sincere thanks, as the mer-
chants of this city have taken all the
tobacco offered at fuil prices.
The above figures show of what
vast Importance it is to this city to
sustain in the future, as in the past,
the tobacco market. Over one thou
sand hogsheads have been sold by one
house within a period of thirty days,
and that before the market has been
in existence one year. We have here
tofore given considerable attention to
the matter in our columns, and in
future will continue our influence to
make this the best tobacco market on
the river. We are located In the
right place, and have a liberal and
able board of buyers, and all that is
necessary is for us to bring the to-
bacco to this point Tobacco has
sold as well here this season as In any
other market, returns have been made
promptly to shippers, and the pros
poets for an immense business mex
season are very fattering.
