gentleman for causes unknown. On the
payment Of five dollars, however, he was
released and now Mr.. Apologize swears
the negroes were put up" to arresting him
by white officers. With all due respect for
Mr. Apologize we must rcligiously say that
he is-well n stupendous fraud we would
say, were we not afraid of being sent with
in whispering distance of heaven, on a
mission of eternal glory, within the twink
ling of an eye afterwlrd
Night before last the residence of Mr
Wood Rittenhouse was burglarized and a
gold watch and pair of pants carried off
1t is supposed that burglars reached the
top Of the balcony by ladder and raging
the second-story window reached into Mr.
RS bedroom and obtained the watch and
clothing without entering the house. No
one in the house was disturbed by noises
and hence Mr.. Rittenhouse did not miss his
clothing until morning. His coat and vest
were found IN the front yard, but the pants
and gold watch was carried off Some idea
Is entertained by the officers as to who are
the guilty parties but they are in possession
/ Of nc positive knowledge in this regard.
We some time ago made mention
OF the fact thai so many COWS belonging to
different families had disappeared in an
unaccountabe way, and that il was sup
posed by some OF the victims that hu-
man agency was instrumental in these mys-
terious disappearance. The fact was again
forced upon our attention within the last
few days by the complaints of victims.
The names of some of the losers are Leo
Kleb. AL SuSanka, Chas Lancaster, W ".
Wootcn. John BurgOise, Mr.. Harrigan and
Henry Whitcamp. Many Others have had
occasion to mourn similar losses but avail.
/ cd themselves Of the offer of certain young
men to return the cows for a money coasid-
Grafton and thus regained their property,
Others whose names we have not learned
We're not 50 fortunate. We have been fur
nished with the names of several young
rascals who are said to constitute a band
for the ayowcd purpose Of kidnapping the
COWS and then demanding a ransom for
their return. If their depredationS do not
cease we shall feel tempted to constitute
oursef an investigating committee of one
and when the necessary evidence is in our
possession give the names Of the unprinci-
pied young scallawags.

We stated in Sundays BULLETIN that
the negro woman arrested IN Bill Scots sa-
loon had been tried by jury Of six citizen,
in the court house on Saturday last and had
been found guilty and fined forty dollars and
costs--amounting in all to ffty-fve dollars.
Bill Scott employed the counsel for
the defense. but did not pay the fine and
hence the wench was sent to Jail for fifty.
three days. 1t is dcplorabie that The city
should have tonnd it necessary to give wo-
men Of this stripe a trial by jury and en-
poy extra counsel, and thus incur extra ey-
pensc, in order to secure their conviction.
We say this is deplorable; but it seems to
he the only means of securing justice for
the most depravcd and dangerous class OF
Cairo's inhabitants. Our police court de-
csions--which were always favorable 70
lewd women encouraged them in their
crimes and they boldly and openly defcd
the officers and the law. But upon hearing
of the decision above referred to. tie
