orderly conduct, one of vagrancy and two
of fighting were tried by Justice j. H..
Robinson yesterday.
COLLECTORS swarmed the streets Of the
city yesterday. The smiling faces of most
Of them gave evidence of their success in
balancing monthly accounts.
--Itispleasing to note that the best street
in the city, Eighth street, between the av-
enues, is being well taken care of by those
having charge of the streets under the d.
rection of Street Commissioned Baird.
The small brick, house which
has stood on the easterIy

Columbus Beacon: Halliday Broth
ers, of Cairo, are having the old Yantis mill
building, on Front street, torn down, and
will use the material for rebuilding the
box factory in Cairo. Tis very large

until it is very near in the liver, and this,
we think, is the cheapest way to get it out
of the way.
The crime of unseating democratic
member of the federal house of represent
atives upon forged testimony collected in a
case to which, not he, but his dead prede-
cessoriwas party was consummated Wed
nesday bylmeans as foul aswere ever devised
by any INSCRIPTIONS legislative faction. A
victory so dishonorably gained can not fai
to act as boomerang.
The new gag rules forced through the
federal house of representatives by the re-
publicans, assisted by arbitrary rulings by

full week.
An entertainment for the benefit o.
the Three States was given at Reform hal
last night by a nu.nber of the colored la
dies of Cairo. The attendance was very
good, SO was the entertainment, and the
proceeds were proportionate. The affai
was rival of similar one given by {
number of other colored ladies for the bene
fit of the Cairo Gazette; but whether it
proceeds were equal to those of the lattel
remains to be seen. Very likely the one
which receives the most lucre out of these
rival entertainments will consider itself tn,
most popular, though popularity deter
mined by purses, and popularity determin
