tiff is man named Hughes, who pre-
viOus to The war was very wealthy. He

sane idea that for some time past a

systematically robbed and has made
frequent threats against the lives of the
persons who own the land which was
previously his. He says they are tres
passing upon his domain and he will
not submit t, it. Recently, when a
railroad was surveyed across the land
near Hughes Spring, which he former
ly owned, Hughes attacked the sur
veyor with shotgun and chased him
Oft the premises. He Immediately filed
the papers in the present suit. in
which he charges l37 persons, inclnd.

illegalty. He claims 81, ,S5O, 900 and in

For the REPUBLICAN,.
Our citizens are once more treated to
,h- return Of old Baalam's ASS to this
city. About two years ago the old fel.
low was here, incoherently braying
about niggers' scents. and smell OF dts
ease,l bodies. Now he turns up at the
portals Of the Gazette; once more ftOps
his long ears, and brays about storms
in q tea kettle, sun do move, Ia Ia Jas.
peri obscure luminacy, rump I.egisla-
ture, police commission, sound coin,
timber to scoop in a Judgeship, imagi.
nary mathematical calculations, James
G. Blame, and high protection tariff,
Democrats crow" etc. This poor old
fellow seems to grow still more stupid
~ his age increases, and his brayings
chroniclsd In the Gazette of the 25th
inst, (where he gave his name as Old
Hickory, was ~ nnintelligible to the
Anglo Saxon race AZ the hieroglyphics
on the Egyptian Pyramids would be to
a Laplander. 1t is a shame to keep
this stupid old fellow wandering over
the globe Topping his long ears, and
disgracing his ancestors by his incohe-
rent brayings. The society for the pre-.
vention of cruelty to animals should
take charge of this poor old animal in
his declining years, az 1t ia self.ev ldent
that he has Outlived his usefulness,
since he supported Baalam on his back,
when he for the first time opened his
mouth and spake az never ass before
spake. As his brayings of late years have
become 30 disjOinted and Incompetent
sible, 1t would be charity TO the poor
old fellow to place him for the remain
der of his days where his idiotic bray
ing would not bring him before the pub
lie to be jeered at by the little urchins
who point the finger of scorn at him for
his utter incompetency to bray halt as
intelIigibly as his half brother-the
mule-on the street railway of this
city. The old fellow was no doubt use
full to Baalam many centuries ago, but
his days Of usefulness have long since
passed, and let us hope that this Is the
last time this poor Old dilapidatcd ami
NAL will wander to Wilmington to dis
grace his ancestors with his braying.-
Surely be will soon shake Oft this NOR.
tai coil, and be buried out of sight, aIu
that no more of his species will 50 dis
grace the donkey race As this poor old
fellow is doing in hi declining years,
and that over the mound that covers
this poor idiotic brute, there may be
erected all epitaph, indelibly traced in
stone, this inscription, to wit:
"All asses who this mound pass by,
From me a warning take
And ne'er disgrace your ancestry,

that lie would continue taking cases be-

decided that it was illegal to do so.
What he did say was that he would
leave the question with His Honor

guided by his instructions. He would,
however, take cases before the Squire
for preliminary hearings when the Mu-
