made against him by several colored men
of this city before filling his engage

feared his speech might have tendency
TO weaken the Radiaism OF the darkeys
here, which prompted his threatncrs to
drive him out OF town before he had
done any mischief.

\ colored lady named Eda Dixon was
up before Judge Bross yesterday, for
abusive language and otherwise disturb
Ing the peace of her neighbors. Eda, it
seems, has had cause to suspect the iidel-
ity OF her bettcr-half, and upon learning
the name OF the object upon whom he is
said to be bestowing his affections. she
called upon the destroyer Of her happ-
ness and expressed decided desire to
annlhilate her forthwith, whereupon the
rival Of Eda complained to Deputy Sher-
III John Sheehan. who arrested her. Al
ter hearing the evidence in the case.
Judge Bross fined the prisoner five dol
lars and costs. and ordered her 20 Jail for
ten days i'll default of payment. She

A negro named Taylor Jones want to
Mayor Winter yesterday with the infor-
nation that on Tuesday afternoon. a
white man named John Penrod. had
robbed him of watch. He had taken
off his vest and hung it up on a nail at
the Illinois Central depot, and John had
taken the watch out, he said. Penrod,
however, told another story, saying lac
had bought the watch from James tor
five dollars. Another witness in the
case, who the principles said knew all
about it. sWore to a different tale alto
gethcr from that told by either of them,
which led Judge Bross to believe that
more thorough investigation should be
made into the matter before passing
judgment on the prisoner. lie accord

in order to give the officers time to learn
further particulars, and sent the defen-
dant 10 Jail to await disclousers. o..
Since writing the item to be found in
this issue of the BULLETIN. in regard to
the colored Democrat, Bosier, being
scared out Of town 10y the threats of sew
eral Republican darkeys of the city, we
are informed that the notorious jim
Orange was the instigator OF all the
wrath exhibited against Bosier. Orange,
we are informed, openly declared that if
Bosicr attempted 10 make a Democratic
speech in this city he would split his
skull. which had the desired effect of
putting a quietus upon him, ut least,
so far a speaking in Cairo is concerned.
When matters grow so bad that it is I'M
safe tor a negro or any other person TO
express his views without mourning the
hatred and threats OF such men as Or
angc, il is time for something to be done
that will put dampcr on them. Or
angels reputation is none of the best, and
had Bosier deiied him, we do not doubt
he would have had sorry time of it.
