The CASE DECIDED. The case of Peter
Robertson VS.. the City of Lambertville Is at last
decided. On Thursday last, Judge yansyckel
gave his opinion, which, while it is against
the city SO far as tho ordinance is concerned,
the ordinance being defective, yet establishes
the right of the city under the charter to regu-
late the sale of liquor by the quart and up
wards. This is in effect great defeat for the
whiskeyites, who have all along becn asserting
that the charter did not allow of the control
of the sale of liquor by the quart. Thus they
purposed to defy the effort to prevent the sale
Of liquor in the city and in effect thwaYt the
will of the people as expressed at the ballot
box last spring. But they will hardly dare
now to proceed in the face Of this decision.
Tho following is the opinion Of the Judge =
Robertson v. The City of Lambertvillc. On
certiorari. Opinion by vansykel, j.
The ccrtiorari in this case removes into this
Court the complaint and proceedings thereon

cutor for alleged violation of an ordinance to
provide for licensing and regulating wholesale
liquor dealers in tho city of Lambertville.

The GRAssHoPPERs AT GREELEY. Greeley
is overrun with grasshoppers, and the people
Of "Saints' Rest " are fighting them with
their garden hose and other harmless wea-
pons. A. 2. Solomon, a thriving merchant OF
the place, announced that he would give a
suit of clothes for million and half of che
'hoppcrs, and citizen rugged up a dead fall
and smashed that number in about an hour.
He found that it took fifty smashed grasshop-
pers to weigh an ounce, and he kept his dead
fall going until he had smashed 1875 pounds,
or a million and half of the pests. He then
reported to Solomon, who, TO his great sur
prise, refused to hand over the suit, unless
the grasshoppers were delivered to him alive,
as he had no use for dead ones. A compromise
was struck however, and Solomon rewarded
the hopper slayer handsomely, and bargained
with him for another million and a hall, to be
delivered alive. At last accounts the man
was catching them by hand and stuf1fng them
into pillow case .--Denrer (Col.) Nesos.

Mixed schools 80. The Radical
Programme.

If Pinchback, the interloping mulatto
from Louisiana, had not met such a
chilling rece ption from the Radicals, we
would have said that his visit augured
anything but good to the peaceful rela-
tons subsisting between the two races.
With large following of mixed breeds
who are discontented with their color and
lot, he is an element of discord wherever
he moves. He was the prime mover in
the scheme recently carried out in New
Orleans through the agency of the Radi-
cal school board, of introducing colored
teachers and pupils in the white schools,
and thereby breaking them up so far
as the children of the white population
who pay the taxes are concerned. The
platform of the Radical party of Missis-
sippi. on which the present State officers
were nominated, contains the following
sinister resolution looking to the adoption
of the mixed school system in this State !:
That we recognize no distinction as now
existing by law in the rights of oil the
children of the State to equal privileges
and TO ACCESS 10 ALL PUBLIC
SCHOOLS, COLLEGES, OR UNI
VERSITIES, and should any of said in.
situations of learning deny to any child,
on account of race or color, equal rights,
We pledge ourselves TO enforce said rights
by appropriate legislation. lila plank Of

SCRAPS OF HISTORY.

EDITORS CLARION In both the
Times and the Pilot of this city and in
many other papers of this State, / fire.
quently see labored articles under the
above headlines" designed to make the
impression that the old Democratic party
of Mississippi was corrupt, and that,
therefore, the present Democratic and
Conservative party is not wOrtl1y of con-
fidence.
Now, if the history of the above articles
should ever happen to be true, which is
neither proven nor admitted, the concIu-
sion by no means follows. But beg to
offer yeu two scraps Of history which
demonstrate as clearly as that two and
two are four, that the opposition can
not be trusted
l. Under Democratic rule, when the
assessed value of the property of tbe
State was six hundred millions Of dollars
the annual expense of the government
was only three hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars.
2. Under Republican rule, when the
assessed value of the property of the
State is only one hundred and Ififty mil

the enormous sum of one million four

Yesterday at IL o'clock, Messrs. Green
and Conklin were brought from the county

davlt against them for shooting with
intent to kill an murder B. L. Hickman
and Calvin Gibbs on the night of the 18th
instant. District Attorney Fitzgerald
and Luke Lea, ESQ.,, appeared for the
State, and the accused were represented
BY Attorneys U. M. Young, Judge Brien,
Capt. Spears, Judge Warren Cowan,
and Capt. Cobb, of Monroe, La. The
only evidence taken in the case was that
of Drs Quin and Hunt, who attended the
wounded men, and that was necessary so
as 10 ascertain whether the trial was to
be on the charge of murder or shooting
with intent to kill.
Hickman was reported by the surgeons
as dangerously wounded, with small
probability, if any, of recovery; while
Gibbs was reported as likely to get well
in short time. Upon this representa-
ton Of facts, it was found impossible to
proceed with the case, and the prisoners
were recommitted to Jail to await the
further result of the injuries to the men.
The proceedings lasted several hours,
which were mainly consumed by counsel
as to the proper method of making out
the commitment papers.
