Tbe Police Court Dissectcd-,A COZ
ored Attorney ON the Hnnsp"ge'
and Snuned Out.
From the Little Rock Gazette, July 2s TIL
A colored woman was brought before
the police court yesterday morning,
charged with disturbing the pea ce. A
colored ex-member Of the late Ccnstitu-
tional Convention, and atpresent al. r.,
and another colored man, appeared IN
her defense. We print the following
hr;as synopsis of the former s speech be-
fore the Jury, omitted from the police re-
port Of yesterdays journal:
Gentlemen Of The Jury Your Honorss;
You know that money is the great OBJ
;ect of everybody nowadays, and that
there is always some folks that too lazy
10 work for a living. They hangs about
and tries to make dollar by having
neonle up for st,trbance Of the peace, |
ibonght that when the flag of peace
floated over this country that all men
were free and equal; that everybody
would have chance for their lives, for
Inv this constitution all men has free and
,t,,amiable rights | live near the edge
of town, but am afraid to come out OF
NV door and blow my nose, for Tear
Somebody is hanging round to take me
mn for sturbance of the peace. ! hope
your bonors will not make any verdict
agin this client. because then nobody !, :
safe. YOU cant stamp your foot, or cali
10 your next door neighbor without some
body sees chance to make dollar by
telling the police that you are starbiag
the peace, and then you will have to be
imprisoned for days and weeks and made
to work on the streets if yoH haint got
the money. Because they will fetch You
to the police court, and yop is convicted
before You gifts there so yon might as
we'll come with your money in your hand,
for Il dent make no difference whether
they got any evidence agin you or not
Yon's convicted just as soon as they
take you there sure-and this thing must
stop, else no man is safe, This thing
will spread all over the State and hope
your honors will make such verdict as
will give everybody chance for justice
and their uRGmidble rights.
AT this point the orator was hauled up
by the court, who thought the jealous
advocate was becoming slightly personal,
and the colored attorney drew his re-
marks to close in milder strain,

To Editors:
The following correspondence was
rendered necessary by the frequent COM
plants have received, especially from
our Western agents. That their efforts
were impaired by the active interference
of Col. Arson Stager, or other officials
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, we feel confident were without the
sanction of President orion, through
their direct and indirect assertions that
cable news of the American Press Asso-
citation were either manufactured in this
country or purloined from the Associ-
ated Press. ! selected the business Of
yesterday and this morning as critic
rion, simply because the messages were
at my hand, and the number Of words
embraced by them, in all COZ, received
in day and half, forcibly reminded
me of the weekly quota of words re-
ceived by the Associated Press, which,
previous to the establishing of the Amer
lean Press Association, as stated by one
of their agents, Mr.. Aplin, in a recent
magazine article, did not exceed one
hundred words daily. Yours truly,

mango season was over He never stayed

sitting up and crying inside the gates.
He never played billiards, rolled ten
pins, drove fast horses, nor choked Eve
with tobaceo-smoke. He meyer loafed
around corner groceries whils Eve was
rocking little Gains cradle at home. In
short, he did not think she was especial

DEAR SIR-The enemies Of the Ameri-

to use the name of Colonel Arson Stager
and other prominent officials Of the
Western Union Telegraph Company in
support of an assertion that we are not
in receipt of dispatches by the Atlantic
cable. As our correspondents in Europe
have been patronizing your line ever
since its consolidation with the French
Cable Company, and as the service OF
the Association has been no largely ex-
tended by the recent war that we are al.
most hourly in receipt of dispatches by
your line, amounting yesterday TO four
hundred words, and this morning, up TO
noon, two hundred and twenty-seven, i
would respectfully ask of you an &C.

be misled by stories injurious to the
