The best thing the police comb ission.

not to detail his patrolmen to go on ex.

weaken the force and send one fourth of

Citizens Arrested for its ALLEGED

staple.
At the Recorders Court to-day q case
involving the constitutionality Of the
Cotton Exchange Cotton Ordinance was
mp for hearing. Messrs. P. Gatsns, B..
b. Hayden, E. w. Long, John Bolger,
Jacob Hirsch, A. Cohen and William NJ.
Rootes, engaged in buying and repacking
loose cotton, we're arrested by the cotton
exchange special policeman, Mr.. Mosby,
On the charge Of violating the cotton
ordinance, which provides for the giving
of a bond Of $1,000 by each person en-
gagged in the buying and repacking of
loose cotton. the bond TO be conditioned
that each dealer will keep in a book,
specially provided for the purpose, a
daily record Of the name of each seller
Of loose cotton and the quantity of each
purchase, and will keep such book at all
times open TO the inspection Of the
special police, etc. The dealers in loose
cotton claim that this ordinance is an
infringement upon their license, which
license authorizes them to conduct such
business without paying anything addi-
tional, etc, The loose cotton dealers
refused to comply with the ordinance
and employed able coussel to defend
them. The case was ably argued tc day
before Recorder Duf by counsel both Of
the defendants aud tho cotton exchange
and city. 1t is a test case which will be
carried up eventually to the Supreme
Court for faal adjudication.
LATER.
This afternoon Recorder Duff dis.
charged the defendants, be holding that
as to those persons holding unexpired
licenses the ordinance could not have
any effect. He wouli not decide as to
licenses obtained since the ordinance
was passed, because hat question was
not before the court. A case Of the
latter character would involve the con-
stitutionality Of the ordinance. 1t is not
believed that the cotton exchange will
appeal or prosecute these special cases
any further; SO for the present the loose
cotton question is at an end.

BY the assault Of Picketts division and
with like result. This heroic bot ups.
VIiling charge has been often describ.

following description Of the fatal move
ment in Longstteets own words:
"Pickett said to me: General, shall /
advance2 Ny feelipgs had 30 overcome
me that / would not speak for fear Of be-
trAying my want Of confidence to him. I
bowed my affirmation and turned TO
mount my horse. Pickett Immediately
said, I shall lead my division forward,
SIR I spurred my horse to the wood
where Alexander was stationed with ar.
tillery. When ! reached him he told me
Of the disappearance Of the seven guns
which were 10 have led the charge with
Pickett, and that his ammunition was 90
low that he could not properly support
the charge. at once ordered him to stop
Pickett until the ammunition was replen-
lhed. He informed me that hs had no
ammunition with which 10 replenish. l
then saw there was no help for IT.;
and that Pickett must advance under
his orders. He swept past our artillery
in splendid style, and the men marched
steadily and compactly down the slope.
As they started up the ridge over one
hundred cannon from the breastWorks Of
the Federals hurled Q rain OF canister,
grape and shell down upon them; Still they
pressed on until half way up the slope,
when the crest Of the hill was lit with
solid sheet Of fame as the masses Of in.
tAntry rose and fred. When the smoke
cleared away Picketfs division was gone.
Nearly two.thirds Of his men lay dead on
the field, and the survivors were sulleuIy
retreALiDg down the hill. Mortal man
could not have stood that ere. In half
an hour the contested field was cleared,
and the battle Of Gettysburg was over"
