IT. has already been announced in our columns
that Mr. Charles l.. Wilson, proprietor, and lr.
Andrew snu1nan, editor, Of the Ece1sing Journal,
Of this city; have been cited to appear before the
Supreme Court of Illinois, to answer for con-
tempt of Court, for certain comments made by
that paper upon tho action Of the Court IN
granting writ Of supe,'scleas in the case Of the
murderer Rafrorty. The article which has pro-
yoLed this action upon the part Of the Court, as
reproduced by the Journal, is Us follows:
TIE CASE RAFFERTY,.
At the time wit OF strersedeas was granted in the
case Of tho murderer Chris. Rafferty, the public was
b]au1y assured that the mnttcr would 10 examined
into hy the Supreme Court and decided at ouce-that
possibly the hanging Of this notorious human butcher
would not be Delayed for single day. Time speeds
away, however, and We hear OF nothing dehnltc
being dono :Rancrty's counsel seems to be
studying the policy Of delay, and evidently
with success. The rif-raT who contributed
fourteen hundred dollars 10 demonstrate that chang
ing is played ou:" may congratulate them
selves on tho success Of their litt1e game. Their
money is operating splendialy Wa have no hesitancy

d}rnatiop and what not. And why Because the sum
Of fourteen hundred dollars is enough; nowadays, to
enable man to pirchase immunity from the conse-
uuenccs Of any crime.

Theoretically seal up overy cnk and 9ophole tlrouga
which murlerers escape, it wu deserve the btFer
ceusure Of every houest man in Illinois. We aust
smnlfy our mode OF procedure in murder trials. Tho
criminal should bo tried at once, aad, when found
guilty, should be hanged at once and the quicker
hanged the better. The Courts now completely IN
the control Of corrupt and megccnary shysters-tho
1acEas Of legal profession who feast and fstten on

Tie Two points to which the Supreme eourt
tanes exceptions evidently are the allegation
that any man with fourteen hundred dollars can

WHO ere NOT only engaged in aeb:nchfEng 5rrlsts,
but are feas;i4g, after the " manner Of vampires,
upon human blood and other sangui1G:.ry aist.
While tho Supreme Court sees in each chqqrges

We doubt whether the people at largo T1'l

The Republicans OF Albany have nominated
Henry R. Pierson for the New York Legislature.
M1. Pierson Was formerly Senator from Brook

Luke P. Poland, Of Vermont, was being
beaten in the primary canvass Of his district,
when the influence Of the Administration VAS
invoked to his aid. Coming into the Conven-
ton with q meagre majority, several contested
seats were gained, and Poland YVES nominated by
93 votes, to 60 for Judge Benjamin ". Steele.
But the next is to be Poland's last term, and
Steele's friends are measurably pacifed.
The Detroit Liberals are successfully re-
sisting the attempt OF the Custom House Ring

Louis L. Kormsndy, the well-known gymnass

he was taken sick with typhoid fever, and Lay
nearly four months in the old Briggs House.

On the night Of the fire he Was weak, and hsd

fire his entire establishment In Metropolitan

street, aud had q large school until short time
ago, when he became unable to attend and in

sickness that he was not himself that he Was
occasionally fighty, and that his mind WAS de-

Mr. Hilton found him at tho gymnasium, In

He WAS taken to the Briggs for few days, and

That, too, Was removed DR.. Ben. c. Miller
then made arrangements to hare him treated ut

| Mr. Hilton. Two or three days afterwa1l ha
came to town with DR.. Skelly, and insisted upon
getting his revolver. The cartridges vera drawn,
and it Was given to Dr. Ske1y, but he

| last he left the hospital without having giyen
notice, went to Jefferson, took the train, and
came to the citJ. He again appeared at the
Briggs, and it was decided to send him to jack
sonV1lle- In this he acquiesced, seeming to
be afraid to trust himself, and his case was to
have been presented in the County Court thia
| morning.
On Saturday evening he took supper at tho
Briggs, with his friend Hilton, and went to Hoo
1ey's in charge OF Billy" the robust porter. He
VAS rather Respondent, though the faats OF agiE

and he exp--ssed his adnairatlon at
what particularly pleased him. Returning

he awoke and complained of a cold chill. Billy
put more bedclothes on him, but he could not
sleep, and at o'clock insisted upon riaiug and

II ia noticeable feature Of the Epizootic or
Horsa Catarrh, that, while it is rapidly pro-
rressine eastwardly from Buffalo, the point
where it first developed itself after crossing the
Canadian border it has made little or no progress
westward. From Buffalo it travelled with al
most railroad speed to Rochester, Albany, Nc"
York City, Providence, Boston, and Portland,
and at last accounts Was steadily advancing into
Nova Scotia. West and south Of Buffalo, IN the
same space OF time, it has made no perceptible

If this is undoubtedly to be found in the vide
d;ference of weather and temperature between
the East and the West. At the East it has been

and in New York and Boston the disease reached
it's height during severe rain-stor1ns. In tho

The SEAScE. We regret to say that
some friends Of the celebrated DR..
Hughes have in some measure misun-
derstood the character of the seance he
proposes to give at the theater Wednes-
day evening. The entertainment will
partake somewhat of the weird and mys-
teal, we admit, but it will nevertheless
be classical and edifying in the extreme.
1t is no disparagement of DR.. Hughes
scientific and literary attainments to
say that he is humorist, and the con-
tinuous peals of laughter that will shake
the theater from pit to dome during the
evening will in no wise detract from the
morale of the entertainment. We speak
confidently when we say that DR.. Hughes
will hold forth next Wednesday evening
to one of the largest, most elegant and
most highly delighted audiences ever
assembled in the Memphis Theater.
The TRANSMISSION will begin at eight
o'clock. The Harp of Thousand
Strings has been renovated and put in
perfect order for the occasion.
