Democrats would attend the registration
offices and watch the business rs well as
they find fault with it. they might discover
some saving clause which would redeem
Republicanism from ali blame. AS an OK

A CIVIL WAR.-It is always n subject OF
regret to see those in public places arrive at
a misunderstanding, and especially so when
gentlemen who have power over criminals
fall out. Assistant Recorder Heidenhain

Yesterday the Judge sent a formal release
for the prisoner, but Captain Noble. War
den of the Workhouse, refused to recognize
the right of the Judge TO Issue release
and therefore refused to permit the accuse
