that If he insisted upon settlement he comic

"Jesse" was fined twenty-five dollars and
costs, failing to pay which, his weapons,
etc, were taken possession of by the court
and he was sent out OF town On stay OF
execution. He promised to send one Of the
Younger brothers for his weapons, but it
is probable that nothing will occur to pre-
vent or disturb the auction sale of the lat
ter, which is TO take place on the 10Th
instant, to sstify the claims Of the officers,
court and people,
The following are the amounts collec-
ted from the various sources in this internal
revenue district during the month of Feb
uary: Distilled spirits, 81 ,043 SO; tobacco
and cigars, l5,25990; fermented H.
quors, s4,73o.7O; bank and bankers,
s66S.47 total, SCI, 7O999, or sl4,455.07 less
than the collections of the previous month
and less than those of any other previous
month. The settlement Of the tariff ques.
ton at Washington has produced little
more confidence among distlers and to.
bacco manufacturers in this district; but il
will be some time before the collections
will again reach their former figures of
from sixty to seventy.fve thousand dollars
per month. OHe reason for this will be
the several serious blunders of the tariff
tnkers, chiet among which is one Of omis-
sion in relation to tobacco snuff and cigars.
The tax on these was reduced (Which was
entirely uncalled for, by the way aud it
was provided that rebate should be made,
Of the difference in taxes recently imposed
and the taxes as now prJgidei, in all cases
where the claim amounts to $40 or more
but the fsr-seeing body Of legislators ad-
burned without approprsting any money
with which to pay such claims for rebate,

I'd tobacco circles.
About ssventy-fve colored children

children. La the high school abnut fifty
crowded into the recitation 70 I'm OF the
upper room, into which they had been in.

arrival Of Prof Clark, They waited quiet.

formed them that he could not admit them
without having first consulted the school
board that he would confer with said
board aud would apprise them of the result
lis morning. The colored people there.
upon dispersed, with the understanding
that this morning they would be given
satisfactory answer to their demands. The |
immediate cause Of the movement was that
the colored school bull ling was surrounded |
by sipe water and that there was no coal !
FOR fires in the school, on which account
the school bad been closed for two days
this week. The former objection could be

Mayor Thistlewoods reply to Col.
Charles Hamilton, is published elsewhere.
The mayor states the case very fairly, in our
opinion. The cost of the improvement pro.
posed to be made by Col. Hamilton would |
be mere trife, comparatively speaking -
out OF all proportion to the value OF the
privilege the city is asked to give in return.
Furthermore, it will probably have
been abserved by all who
read Col. Hamltons communication
n yesterday's BULLETIN, that he carefully
avoids even a promise to keep up the EN-.
oaukmen', in case the river should encroach
