'fiic case must be getting desperate whent the organ of l the men who are in favor of keeping the Court house at Dover, will stoop to such disrepatable zMeaa ass0f~bol stering up theircause.A.Su Such uilfsir, Hnd t reck- less poiiey VI onlEsf fecoi Alak hc authors thereof, .F8EgasF A sss.Y.TYF

 You also claim tiiat gfhce citizens of your town have obligated themselves to furnish n building free.s You cannot chuck this logic down the throat oi the honest taxpayer as easily as you might sugar-eoated pills. We arc. just as sure that they will not do it as we are that we lost our coat at tie press cohvcn- | tion. (Don't mention it.) If thecoun- ty seat should moved into your settlc- ment, and these bondsmen are called upon to pony up, 1t might be that they could becompeiIed by law to pay in county scrip, worth about 35 cents on the dollar; the amount they have tsubsci'ibed in cash. At this rate, the county would realize in cash $S75 on the s2 300 snbscribeds Simply this, and nothing more. Allow us space in your paper to say to the people of Pope county that the l above vile insinuation is as false as 1t is foolish. The idea of paying this $2, 900 in anything else but good and lawful money of the United, States never en- tered our minds. NC repeI the above statement made by the Atkins News as base and reckless representation made to deceive the people, and calculated to place us in the attitude of trying to palm off'a fraud upon the public. If the County Seat is moved to this town ! we will pay off our bond dollar for for dollar in good sand lawful money of the United States, promptly aud pune tually, without failure or deialcation.

WHERE'S YOUR MULEr

The mule is an animal that has been mucl,
illuminated. People, in a metaphorieal sense
usually sit down upon 1t and are careless
whether the mule likes 1t or not We have
noticed. however. that whenever something
important is on hand. whenever the purposes
of charity, usefulness, or anything that people
want is on the tapis the mule is brought into
requsition. We have had much to do with
the mule lately. and we will hereafter have
something more to say about this Intelligent
but stubborn hybrid. The Crescent City Bat
talon. conscious of the Importance of this
animal, have determined to make a new dis
play of it's qualities, under novel circum-
stances, at the Fair Grounds on Saturday
next: TO give some motive power, SO to
speak, to the stubborn creatures, the weather
being good and God Almighty permitting, the
mules will be run In the joint interest of the
Crescent City Battalion and the Fourteenth

fourteenth. and are the very ones who ought
to be Ipatronized when they endeavor to help

The community was in n state IS great
| anxiety as TO what would he the nature of
Judge liouSton's decision in the habeas cor
pus case of Antonio Agosti. Ten o'clock yes
terday was the hour fixed for the reading of
the decision and long before that time many
persons would step up to the minute clerk
and ask him whether the Judge had already
spoken, and on being answered in the mega
tive they would sit down and await the read
ing of the decision
At the hour fixed the Judge unfoIded writ
ten document. and began to read Immedi-
ately there was perfect silence in the court
ROOM and all present wore a look of the deep
est interest
When, at last. the court had closed the
reading of the decision, IT was evident, from
the looks Of all present. that the people would
agree, heart and soul. in the judges decision.
which gave q terrible blow TO the bold men
who made'it their duty and their right, as it
were. to persecute and Cypress n few people
1t is strange how the news of this occurrence
spread everywhere in an incredibly short
time In the corridors and alleys of the
court building small knots of citizens would
assemble and discuss the decision Some re-
marked that the Lottery Company had re-
ceived terrible blow; that it's power was on
the wane, and that the people would now be-
gin to breathe more freely, considering this
honest and manly verdict Of good Judge.
A little later the matter was talked OF on
the streets, In barrooms in business houses,
in fact, everywhere. and the general drift OF
public opinion ran in this vein: That the lot
terry prosecutions were now a thing Of the
past, considering the recent decision of
Judg" Miltenbergcr, capped by this latter
decree of Judge Houston.
Great curiosity is manifested as to the
course Judge Whitaker will pursue in the
certiorari case because Judge Mtenbergers
course is fully sustained and his conduct ap-
proved by the tint of the Fourth District
