With the opening, of the Court appeared

tor on the Sixth Judicial Circuit, acting
for Solicitor Talley of this Circuit, who

always say ga P. C." instead of "a ne
gro." Many of the 2. Cs. had become
deeply ".subjudicated' by means of gen
tie whiskey, and their blood being mp.
they fought like tigers. 1t was interest
ing! After night, indeed, there was a
combat between two light weights, the
details of which cause the hair to stand
ON end. IN this combat the champion
behwas ravished away from an old cih-
zen who has long worn it worthily, and
transferred to the body Of newcomer:
The new conner sliced the old hero deep

stitches, the old hero mournfally relin-
ouished the belt, which the newcomer
now wears proudly. Whiskcy isapow-
