Gen, Grant Is put by foolish Chica-
go newspaper in the familiar attitude of
asking for "more." Oliver Twist asked for
more; but an American citizen who has
| been honored to the full extent of any man
in the republic, living Or dead, should not
be a supplicant for further honors. We do
not believe Gen. Grant has authorized the
Chicago newspaper in question to make
him candidate
"A colored boy was arrested night be-
fore last in Jno. McNulty's hardware store.
He was drunk and had gained entrance to
the store through front window which he
had broken. lie was brought before Squire
Robinson for trial, where he explained that
while passing by the store in drunken
state, he fell against the window, breaking
it, and being deslrous of finding a resting
place for the night, crawled through the
opening and layed down to sleep, in which
state he was found by the officer. His tes-
timony being pretty well corroborated by
the facts, Mr.. McNulty concluded that
there was not sufficient ground for prosecu-
! ton, and hence did not urge the case. The
squire let him off with fine of one
dollar and costs, for drunkenness.
The law practice Of Judge Green has
of late called him to various portions of
this congressional district, and wherever he
has been he has received the most flatter-
ing notices from the Democratic press. He
is certainly valuable man to the Demo
cratic party of this district, who, as chair
man Of the congressional committee, has
rendered most excellent service to the party.
He is a man of depth and breadth
Of brain-a man of caution to prevent
wrong, and courage to act when occasion
requires. He has done much in the past to
help the Democrats in their attempts to
gain victories in this district, and has al
ways shown himself as a man possessed
with the ability, not only to direct, but to
lead campaign.
The defects discovered in the law pro-
viding for the taking of the census have
been remedied by requiring each enumera-
tor, after finishing his work Of enumeration
to give public notice in at least three places
in his district that he will be present at
some convenient specified place for three
days, for the purpose of making corrections
of his lists. The lists are to remain open
for inspection, and the enumerators are Az.
thorized to administer oaths, examine wit
nesses, and make corrections in accordance
with evidence so obtained. The time for
completing the returns is extended fifteen
days. Each enumerator is also required to
make duplicate list Of the inhabitants in
his district, which duplicate IS to be filed
in the Office of the secretary of the state or
territory in which the district is situated.
An appropriation of $3j0,00o is to be made
to cover the additional expense made neces-
sary by these amendments. The work of
taking the census, as has been previously
announced in THE BULLETIN, will com
mence In June.
--"Crazy Jimmy" the fellow who for
several week has been lounging about the
city, has for sixteen years been an inhabi-
tant OF our poor house, and has, during that
time, cost Alexander county from one hun
bred to one hundred and twenty dollars
per year-making the total expense, which
he has 50 far been to the county about
nineteen hundred dollars. We are inform
ed that the fellow came to this
wy as u tuhp clhNCNh Vs.
and that he has, ever since his first appear
ance here, been burden to the county.
His presence IN the city now is owing to the
fact that he escaped from the poor farm,
The county has never before been blessed
or more properly cursed with the presence
of any man who has so persistently stuck
to" it, and, undoubtedly, the com.
missioners could in no better way serve
the people than to pay for his transporta-
ton to some foreign cline.
Although the fellow is not in the best of
health he may inhabit this sphere for TWEEN
ty years to come, and at a hundred dollars
year, the county would be out an addi-
tiona two thousand dollars, before his
crazy spirit would return to its maker,
