UP AGAIN.-Our old, good-natured
"pard, James Daily, was arrested again
last night. Officer Exley found him in
the market house so full he could hardly
carry it all. 1t is but few days since
James was up before. He then promised
Judge Good to abstain from drinking
for year, "av yell on'y lave me off,
Judge" and on the strength of that
promise got his fine RENTED. Is his
year lasted only about six or eight days,
we have an idea James will take few
additional lessons in geology, commenc-
Ing to-day.

ARow.-Quite lively little row was
kicked up at the corner of Market and
Quincy streets yesterday afternoon, be-
tween a couple of citizens. We don't
know what it was all about. When we
passed little citizen was chucking bricks
at big citizeni with rscklessness awful
to contemplate in one of his inches. We
didn't stop to see who conquered. Too
much building material in the air.
Unhealthy for one of our size.

SOLDIERS BoUNTY.-In response to
inquiries, the Second Auditor of the
Treasury states that all soldiers who
enlisted between May 4th and July ODD,
1861, for term of three years, and who
were honorably discharged, are entitled
under the recent decision of the U. S.
Supreme Court to q bounty of 500,
without reference to the length of time
actually served.

have advanced further in some studies than
others, can have the benefit of their former
attachments, and obtain a Certificate Of PROM
eieney in one or more schools, perhaps, in the
course OF one year-after which time they may
bring up. with greater rapidly and success,
other studies.

proficiency upon the Piano, and who may wish
10 prosecute the study still further, can be fur
nished with advantages for mastering this in.

In the Common Pleas Court the day
was principally occupied with the trial
of case involving the settlement Of
an estate where James F. Welborn
administrator, had been removed.
There were no interesting questions
involved.
A change of venue was taken in a
certain heavy breach of promise suit
that has already been mentioned in
the JOURNAL, the case going to Spen-
Ger county for trial.
The Criminal Court is not ia ses-
sion.
RECORDERS CoURT-Nathan Va

an error in our information concern
ing the fine imposed on Yankee Sui
Ivan. The Court did not sit On Sun
day as reported, but in order to ena-
bic the defendant to leave the city. he
was allowed to deposit the probable
amount of his fine, and authorize a
person TO appear and plead guilty for
him on Monday.
The record for yesterday was w. H.
Burke. countryman, drunk and dis
orderly. Sc %. He appeared in Court
with more than the usual allotment of
cheek, by reason of having received q
blow that swelled his face to twice its
usual size.

for being disorderly, by abusing Sam.
Drake, man about 'alf and 'alf.

Yake Miller was called fer,
said few words and retired.
VIM. B. McClain said the negro
had just as much right to vote as
anyone: more right than those who
came from a foreign country, and
thought it very severe on him that
his boys had to wait twenty one years
to vote, when a negro could vote
now. Hoped the Sixteenth Amend
ment would pass soon and then all
would vote.
Menilee was called for and came.
He looked all around, and then asked
if Ryan was there to report him. Not
seeing that person, he said in one sen
tence what the rest Of the speakers
took up much tiEe to say, viz,
Vote the Democratic ticket"
The Cornet Band played "Shoo
Fly" and the meeting ended.
Among other persons present was
the rough. Mike Callahan, the friend
and admirer of Whittlesey, but he was
not asked to make a speech.
