Grottkan, the celebrated socialist agitator,
whose trial for melting the May riots resulted
in a disagreement OF the jury a few days ago,
took a new tdrn this morning when the court
commenced the investigation OF a charge of
contempt against the defendant. On Monday
last, while the trial was still in progress Croft
kan's paper, the Arbciter /citlng, contained
ONE slanderous articles In prose and verse
directed against the court and its officers.
Among other things, the court was addressed
in this vein: Corrupt you are, you villain
what do you know Of Justice - and again,
Your opinion long before had been form
ed" and, Gin open court you tell you dirty
souls intentions a poem over a column in
length was filed with such expressions as
these, and upon the facts Judge Sloan de
cided To take the matter up to-day. Grottkau
contends that as Judge sloan was not directly
alluded to the or rather mentioned the charge
OF contcmp can not rest, and further asserts
that the matter was written and put in type
by a composition on the paper. Great interest
is manifested in the expected proceedings the
court room being crowded at an early hour.

who arrived here from New York late last
night, will probably this afternoon or to-mor
row make application 10 Judge Gresham for
the appointment Of a receiver for the proper.
~ of the Wabash road in this district. THIS
application is based upon that part OF the
now celebrated decision which holds that
good cause had been shown for the removal OF
the present receivers. This opinion has been
filed IN the southern district OF Illinois and
also in Indiana, together with a petition in
the former asking that the purchasing com
mittee be required to az once pay money into
