Mayors Court.

Mr. Henry Ogdcn's idea of the per-
feet proprietles of life did not exactly
coincide with the views entertained by
an enterprlsing peeler. In short Mr.. Og.
den fully realizing the fact that he was
n free born American citizen but did
not realize that the city of Dallas had
placed certain restrictions on his liber-
ties. Consequently Mr.. o. shouted and
yelled around considerably, to the in.
tense disgust ofhis host pro tenn. But,
weary'ng of this sport, he sought ina
lures sweet restorer, balmy sleep,n
on the curbing Of principal
thoroughfare, and from this d0wny
couch was conveyed to the building
Immediately in the rear of the market
house. Mr.. Ogden and His Honor held
short interview this morming which
was quite affecting. Mr.. Ogden being
like Brutus, "a just man." and like
George Washington unable to lie,
merely nodded assent to the charge of
drunk-and-down. His Honor seemed
to smile more sadly than usual rs he
remarked two dollars and costs.
Ben Butler imagining that he
was haunted 10y the ghost of
murdered Mumiord sought relief
in the flowing bowl. But rising on
the wings of spirituous elaboration,
he thought he heard ancestral voices
prophesying war. Not wishing to 90
back on long line of untarnished
progenitors, he fortified himself with a
few more doses of double.distilled
death, and then proceeded forth to
meet the lmmaginary foes, which his
mighty spirit told him were awaiting
his coming, Before reaching the field,
however, he stopped to rest, and,
awakening, found himself in the Gala
boose. He glanced archly at his honor,
and essayed to cock his eye after the
fashion OF another Ben that the world
wot OF, but, failing in this, he admit
ted this insult, and His Honor said
trhee dollars and costs.

District Criminal Court.

Judge Hare adjourned the court at
twelve o'clock, till Monday morning
Consequently not much business of
importance was transacted. Only one
case was tried, that of the colored bar
Der, Roger. The prisoner was charg
cd with stealing n watch and chain
from a house. The jury after some
de'iberation returned verdict of gull
ty, and assessed his punishment ut
three years in the penitentiary. Much
sympathy is felt for the unfortunate
man, as, heretofore, he has been re-
garded rs an industrious and
honest citizen. His attorneys
hope to obtain new trial
when, they think, evidence sufficient
to acquit him, not adduced at this
trial, will be forthcoming. On Wednes.
day Of the approaching week the cases
appealed from the Mayors court will
oe tried. Attorneys should take notice
OF this, otherwise their clients bonds
may be forfeited. Next Saturday
closes the last week of this term of the
court. Those who have been convicted
VIII receive their sentence ana be
transferred to the keeping of Ward,
Dewey " Co. The remainder viii be n
burden on the county exchequer. This
Is bad enough, but how much worse
is 1t to realize that innocent men may
be, and are, ladguishing through these
sultry months In a wretched Jail vain
ly hoping for that speedy trial which
would give them liberty and hope.

Occupation Tax.

There are some siXty-nine indict.
ments now pending against number
OF our professional and business men.
That this tax is unjust, few will dispute.
For instance, in the case of II LAWYER,
the illegality Is almost palpable. He
Is sworn officer of the court and has
been so regarded for centuries. At the
command OF the court he assumes the
cares and the responsibility of repre-.
senting u moneyless client. should he
refuse to fill this Office of charity, he is
IN contempt Of court and may be fined
or his name may be stricken from the
roll OF attorneys. In his case
or that of n physician 1t finally
resolves itself into II tax on
brains. In the case of n merchant
the injustice is not obvious. He in
vests 80 much capital in the enterprise
before him. After investing this CAPT.
tal he proceeds to manipulate II nc
cording as his interest may dictate.
Now the question naturally occurs,
why should this merchant be forced
to pay this extra tax while the farmer
Is permitted to pursue his avocatiop
untrammeled. There is no man who
would not consider II an outrage &c
force farmer TO pay bonus for the
privilege OF cultivating the soil, but
aslight reflection will show that an
equal injustice is done when the occu.
patton tax is forced from those who
represent other walks In life.

Ths dispatches Indicate that the car
rying of the bulk Of the Northern and
Eastern mails has slipped from the
hands Of the Baltimore and Ohio and
been transferred to the Pennsylvania
Central. This may not be very Sc
we're pccuniary loss, but that it effects
the prestige Of the road, which has
had a monopoly Of the mail carriage

Rumors are thick now that truce

flied to a great extent by the passage
Of the mail cars Of tho Pennsylvania
Central over the tracks Of the Balti-
more and Ohio a few days since. 1t
is also reported that negotiations are
on foot looking to a complete cessa-
ton of hostilities and an actual treaty
OF peace between the two companies
If this be 50, then the Inference i.
that the Pennsylvania Central has at
last struck the Baltimore and Ohio
in tender spot. The energy with
which the two companies have prose
cuted hostilitles would certonly war
rant the supposition that something
extraordinary has been achieved, up
on one side or the other, to cause ne
gotiahons looking to settlement of
difficulties at a time when there was
every indication Of more vigorous
and violent struggle. We trust the
prospect to peace is not deluslve, and
that this cut-throat business may
come to a close at an early day. Both
companies have great interests at
stake, and have public dutie, to per
form which cannot be done properly
with shifting tariffs and yengeful oh,
structions. LET us have peace.
