day afternoon, but was continued until to-
day. Mr.. LalIy claims that The BULLETIN
did him an injustice in its statement Of his
case yesterday morning. If such is the
fact it will appear In the course OF
his trial, the particulars of which
we shall endeavor to publish faithfully.

Commercial avenue into Mr. Lewis Her

tween the avenues. Mr. II. T. Gerould who
has for so many years been the efficient su-
perintendant of the company has resigned
his position and Mr.. Collins, of Chicago,
has taken his place. Mr.. Gerould has been
faithful officer to the company and per

Reform hall was the scene Of very
interesting meeting of the temperance peo-
pie last evening, and although no prom
inent speaker was present to address
the audience, fair number of
citizens were gathered there. Messrs. NJ.
yesterday, B. Y, George and George S.
Fisher made each few remarks, concern
ing their trip to Centralia and the state of
the Sunday schools in this state district
and county. The audience listened atten-
lively to what the gentlemen
had to say Some routine
business was transacted and next
Friday evening was decided upon as the
time, and Reform hall as the place, to elect
a May Queen, who is to hold high carni-
val at the temperance picnic, which is soon
to be gwen.
In It's last issue the Springfield State
Journal says: 1T is an old adage, That
when rogues fall out, honest men get their
dues" The democratic party Of Arkansas
being hopelessy divided, there is now
some prospect that honest colored men and
old union republicans will be able to have
some voice in the government of that
state" The Journal is somewhat in error.
1t is lead astray by the "old adage," which
is not always true. The republican rogues
Of Illinois fell out during the last
election and called one another some very
hard but also very truthful names, yet
"honest men" did not get their dues-the
democrats were defeated. So, again, the
republican rogues at Washington have
fallen out over the plumber Of official
patronage, but we predict that they will
"Mahone" their Misunderstanding and, so
far from recognizing "honest colored men
and old Union republicans" they will
install Rebel Brigadier Riddlebarger
against the solemn protest of the united
democracy-the "honest men" of the senate.
Elsewhere we publish a complaint
against the habit Of men and boys, who
force themselves in our police courts while
trial Is in progress, or crowd upon
officers who are in the act Of taking
prisoner to JAIL, in manner that interiors
seriously in the one case with the conduct
of trial, and in the other with the officer
in the discharge Of his duties Police
magistrates and officers do not like to dis.
perse the crowds from the court rooms and
sidewalks because they are aware that
