of that paper.
Sam Barton and Annie Turner
We're arrested by the Second District
Police, yesterday, and sent before
Squire Norton on charge of living in
adultery. If the laws on this subject
are enforced, three-fOurths of the en-
tire negro population will be sent to
the jails and pepitentiaries of the
country.
Steve GraysOn has cut the buttons
off his monkey jacket, and taken off
the stars. Somebody asked one of
Steve's friends what those stars meant,
on Saturday evening, and the answer
was that the points represented the
different points of the political COM
pass that Steve has boxed in the last
sig months.
We are TejCiced to learn that our
friend Judge FOute is about 70 have
justice done him and obtain his sect, |
which he has been SO long illegally |
and u~njustly deprived of. The Gov
ernOr wrote on Saturday. an order to
Nashville TO have his commission i'm
mediately forwarded him, and he
looks for its arrival to-day.
The Post, with its accustomed
fairness and candor, gives an account
of the murder of the negro yesterday |
morning, by maekeTels, but forgets to
state that the fiends were negro mack
erels. 1t did the same thing when
Charles Boyd was arrested for muir
another negro. This course is
too dirty and contemplate to be pur-
sued by anything except the Post.
See Mr.. Apperson's card elsewhere
about the Mississippi Valley Immf-
grafton Labor Company. Our eiti-
gems should come forward immedi-
ately and HsBow their hands" in this
great work. Books for the spbscrip-
ton of stock are open at Appers0n q
1881 Front street, Harrington &
Howell's, 26S Front, and VIM. r.

police to the yelping, barking, unmuZ-
zled urs that congregate about Jeffer-
son street, around the APPEAL Office
and the Commercial Hotel, and night
" disturb the whole neighbOrhoOd

We hope that they will take some ac-
ton in this matter, for the nuisance
has become intolerable.

the Magistrate, Mr.. Foley, before

he law, and without any disposition
20 iniure Mr.. Bellows, or to Interfere )
Is a partisan against that gentleman.
This exhonerates Nh. Foley from in
JentionaI error, but does not alter the
act that Bellows was unlawfully J
reated and wrongfully held in duress.
