EXTRACTS FROM OUR CINCINNATI LET.
TER

Not being able to use the favor OF our Cincin-
natl contribuIor.on receipt, for the want Of space,
we make the following extracts from his letter,
briefly illustrating som, Of the troubles Of the
denisons Of the Queen City;
al suppose you have heard Of the Schff Dill for
redistrictins Cincinnati, we have down here
Well tho Commissioners were appointed aud en-
tered upon their work an injunction was np-
piled for. restraining them from further proceed
ing. but they managed to publish the result Of
their labor in redistrictug tho city before the in.
junction was granted; but Judge Cox granted
the injunction and pronounced the law unconsti-
tutional, The SchifIltes thercupon took the
case before Judge Murdock, another Common
Pleas Judge, who dissolved tho Injunction and
pronounced the law constitutional The case
was then appealed to the District Court
Judge Cox in the meantime issues writs Of in
junction against the Mayor, City Clerk, and 9TH
ers. The writwa served upon the City Clerk
but the Mayer, 10 avoid being served with tie
writ, kept hlmsefh hid until (ter he had publish
ed his proclamation for election, and fixed the
places Of voting in the new wards according to
the plat Of the Redistrictlng Commission Ju lge
Cox thereupon issues a writ upon the Commits
sioners, Mayor aud others, to show cause why
they should not be punished for contempt. They
put in their appearance on the 18Th and the case
was postponed, at the request o all parties un-
til Friday the 22i. Friday came but there was
nothing done. Whether they intend letting il
drop, we do not know. SO you see we've been
in kind OF q muddle. Now you do, AMI now
you don't. There is no doubt but that the city
should be redistrictcd, but we do not like the
way this has been done. It has too much the
appearances Of a set up job, wi Tia a big 'nigger in
the wood pile behind it.
1t is very seldom that the newspapers nf this
city are RGt engaged in skirmishing with each
other, but Tor the past two weeks they have been
engaged in regular battle, throwing hot shui
.hick and fast, the Chronicle TiNcs and the En-
qnirer Lcing the principal combatants. The
Chronicle Company have entered suit against
the Enquirer Company, charging them with
using subscription Est stolen from the Time,
office previous to the purchase thereof by the
Chronicle Company, claiming 925 ,0uS damages
1t also charges that said list was stolen by o6s
James ). Gordon, now in the employ of the En-
quirrr Company as reporter. The Enquirer
denies the charge aud says the Chronicle stole
the CdUde weekly subscription lis: when it the
CiroRiclsl first started. The Gaz.tte comes oul
aud exhonerates the Chronicle on the charge Of
stealing, but says they used an uu derhand way
Of getting the names of their subscribers from
the different pOstmasters. The bate goes
brayey on. while the majority Of intelligent
readers are disgusted with the way they black
guard Il know Of no milder term) each other.

Fourth street and Central Avenue, tho building
to be $50 fee! square, Eve stories in height, and
to contain not less than $50 rooms. The capita
