Pkok. Kruukr was elected teacher of
tho Gorman School of this city last "Wed
ncsday night. Tuesday evening last ho
delivered a lecture In English on the

will take a front rank in Illinois.
' IH rimj tho past week tho police lorce,
under direction of Chief Myers, has been
( making tho city an uncomfortable place
ol residenco for tho members of tho Frail
Sisterhood who do here abide. Tho Chiefs
motives for these raids has been questioned!
butthiowho know him bei know that
thoy aro prompted by his detestation of
tho trade followed by tbesi women. His
heart probably bleeds for the unfortunate
women, but stern duty urges liim on in
his efforts of reform.

D. W. Munn and D. T, l.incgar, Eq., two
bushwhackers of tho Grant forces l'ope,
as afore.taid, returned fiom Crittenden
Springs last weok. The heat of tho city,
nnd tho unsatifaction news from North

fetation of the spirits.

colored man who leads the colored braves
into the political battle so gallantly; and
Gladney, who has r. gooddeal of iene, but
Is a moral coward, do not he'itate to cuts
A Hen. They think ho is not all that fancy

A young man namod Turner, a late

by sicknes, which resulted in tho death
of tho young man a few moments afur
tho skiff landed at the wharf. Tho
father, an old man of sixty years, was so
feeble he could not move. Ho Is now at
the hospital, but bis recovery I not con
sidered probable.
Tiik City Council mot in joint session
Tuesday night. Hills to the amount of
over 4.3,600 wero presented. If this U an
average, tho cost of running the city gov
ernment during tho year, if we count in
interest on bond, etc., will be more than
$100,000. How long cun such a burden
bo endured by a city tho income of which
is not moru than $50,000, and whose, out
standing "orders on the treasury, to pay
which there is not a cent of cash, would
make a small . mountain ? We are not a
disinterested spectator of this recklessness.
We have tuxo to pay, In common with
our fellow-citizens, and if it is just tho
sainototho council wo wish thoy would
hesitate a moment and count the co-t of
persistence in thu present policy ol reckless
expenditure.
