In conclusion Of an item in Fridays
BULLETIN, giving an account of the verdict
OF the coroner's jury over the body of the
old coored man, Romer, it was said that
our county poor were badly treated and
that the fault lay with the law and with
the county commissioners as much as il did
with DR.. Wood. The two latter have been
heard from. DR.. Wood denies emphatical-
ly that he is to blame, and the commits
sioners have done likewise. Where, now,
is the champion OF the law Stand forth,
Justus, and defend the honor Of your call
ing against the aspersions cast upon it by
the over callumacious press The
fraternity and the outraged law look to
you as the embodiment of their lore, the
able exponent Of their mysterious power,
the bold permeator Of their UBIQUITOUS
rights-they call upon you, SIR to vindi-
cate them in the face of the intermediate
reprehensibleness of the crcumstancial evil
dence surrounding the case. Come, Justus,
let justice be done though the heavens fall.
! Day before yesterday Mr.. Depue, of
the Illinois Central railroad engaged about
ten men in this city at the rate of seventy
five dollars per menth, who are to report at
the office of the company two or three
times each day and keep themselves in
readiness at all times to take the positions
OF train men on a small railroad running
between Quincy and some other point. The
reason of this is that the train men OF this |
road belong to the same Union to which
the train men on small road running into |
Chicago belong. The men on the Chicago |
road have struck for higher wages because |
they believed the company could afford to
pay higher wages. Tie men on the Quincy
road have not struck-they are satisfied
with their wages-but should the Chicago
road men see fit, they will order the Quincy
road men to quit work also and, according
to the rules Of the Union, the Quincy road
men must obey the order. The Quincy
railroad company is, therefore, preparing
to meet the emergency likely to be made
and has asked Mr.. DePue
to keep the requisite number of
men in readiness to take the
places of their present men, whenever they
receive orders from the strikers ON the Chi
cago road to throw up their situations.
Yesterday evenings rain interfered
somewhat with meeting of the
young peoples temperance club at
Reform hall, but yet the
attendance was good, it being well known

pensate most any one for considerable
sacrifice of comfort. The exercises were
opened with song by the audience.
