= IT is common thing for Green
hackers and all who complain about
contraction and hard times to saddle
all the blame upon the boDdholders of
the East. 1t is an admitted fact that
IN the manufacturing districts of the
East more government bonds are held
than anywhere else; but we hardly
think it fair that the bondkOlders and
manufacturers of the East, and the
manufacturers are generally bondhold-
ers, should be alone held responsible
for the ills that the Greenbackers
complain about. Certainly this class
of people have suffered more by
the stringency of the times than any
other class. Many, very many of
them, have failed and been left with
out a dollar, and all have lost more or
less. Factories everywhere have sus-
pended, to the serious injury of pro-
prletors as well as operatives, and
property of all kinds in the East has
Deprecated from so to 200 per cent.
in the last five years. II the Green
hackers insist that the troubles in this
country are due to the financial policy
of the government and to the bond
holders, then how will they explain
the present distress in Europe9

Schools OF FISH, The river was
Thursday filled with schools of fish,
and many people viewed them from
the bridge. Up the river as far as the
eye could reach schools numbering
thousands could be seen. The fish
were from three inches to a foot in
length, and they came out into shallow
water to sun themselves. Three or
four years sgo the government stocked
the Colorado at this place with salmon

Justice Friedrich Explains.

Editors Democratic Statesman:
In your issue of the eleventh instant.
among other valuable information, the
following article appears: "For the
past two days a case about hog has
been going on before Justice Friedrich,
and already the costs to the county
amount to nearly fifty dollars. The
end is not vet. This case of Green v.
Peters about three dollar hog should
serve as a lesson to legislators ambi-
tious to serve the people," etc. Not
having the least desire to interfere, cur
tail or comment upon the freedom and
liberty of the press, besides, think it
very proper to report cases in the courts,
whether under investigation or final
trial, yet to do justice to all concerned
your informant ought to confine him
self somewhat near to the truth.
Now the case has not been going on
for two days, as above stated, but be-
gan on the tenth instant at 2 o'clock,
and lasted until 5 p. NJ. the same day,
md was continued. All the costs in
he above case so far, is as follows:
iheriff's fees (S3 500 three dollars and
fty cents. IL Mr.. Peters should be
} und over to the district court, and
Tally convicted, l shall be entitled to
dollars (the largest amount in a
Dny case justice of the peace can
sive), end the county attorney gets
L dollars. If the defendant (Mr.
Eters) Is not bound over, no one gets
Ything. With reference to the cost
rill state that justices of the peace
furnished with nothing by the
city except dOckets. They have to
fIsh their own books, stationery,
res, etc. in fact they have to fur
n;dverything necessary with which |
tZTy on their business. Had your
lnAant taken the trouble to post |
hrN in regard to the above case, in
St. # relying on hearsay testimony,
wi he could have done had he came |
to Eoffice, doubtless the above mis-
sta Snt of facts would not have APP
pea In your paper.
HSg you will be candidl enough
to asncerned to rectify the a6oTed
missSnent of facts, l remain yours,
very Pectfully,
