ED. BULLETIN: On Friday evening,
Angust Is h, Main street, in the town
Of Candelaria, was lighted up win
boniiteS, and on the arrival of the
stages from the depot the report of
iireerackcrs WAS beard all along The
main street. The reason rt all this hi
lhrity WIS The expected return Of Hon.

found In the courts of hawthorne.
Bnl, alas, Mr.. Garrarl s'opprd over at
B.laeY!lle, and The citZrnS of Cauleh

nevertheless the sentiment OF the com
muaily MIS- expressed lay honlires and
tirecrackers, in knowing that the jus.
ice Court of ihls township does not
rule The whole county of l. mtralda.
Ii mii explanation Ia the above is
this; One 4. SancneS had Jesus Repas

Tor five nights and days. and it WIS
plainly shown by the law and evidence
that his Lortiship could not find The
pri> oners gully. But after SIX lrng
hours of advisemeGl he did so find,
plainly showing that law is not taken
into eonsierallon in the high justice
court of The f ghteenlh Tow nship.
The obj ct OF finding Revas eni "

ShArp's character in the Prison has
