NO CAPTURE EFFECTED, Mr, Ramseur's Remarks. Written for the Citiien. Glancing over a Citizen of recent date noticed an article headed "Alderman Westall Takes up the Cudgel for the City Council." This is in answer to Rev. C. M. Dish- op's complaint of the sidewalks of our ritv. ' it occurs to me that tt would be well it more of our tax-payers would imitate Mr. Bishop's "boldness" and demand that more of the city funds be used for that ouroose, t But why should it require boldness for the sovereign people to demand of the public servants an account ot their stew ardship? -Have they, like Ctrsnr, grown so great that we dare not attack them openly f " we dare it, nut verily, we pay tor our "boldness and recklessness" in subjecting ourselves to insolence and abuse. The truth is, onr local government is left too much in the hands ol a lew.

Police officers Rowan and Smith re turned to the city yesterday, after a long and fruitless search for Jerome Ruff, among the mountains of Kentucky, , The officers reached Yellow Creek, where Ruff had been at work in a saw mill, on . Monday, and found out to their chagrin and disgust that they were just a day too late Ruff having left Yellow Creek on Sunday, The officers then set. to work to discover his whereabouts) hut without securing a definite clue upon which to further oerate. They then started back back home. Ruff is still at large, and in the vicinity of Yellow Creek; tlie- section is lawless, and be has friends in that locality who will endeavor to stand between him and the law. i Sheriff Ingram, of Harlan county, has authority to arrest Ruff, and is already at work on the case. v ' preferring to be a "door-keeper in the house of the Lord, than to dwell ia the tents of wickedness." - Real Estate Tranafwr.

The appointment of a committee to consult with city attorney Sondley, look ing to the preparation of an amendment Co the city charter," last night, whereby power to act may be granted to the Council to set aside certain funds for the maintenance of respectable streets in the city, is a credit to the Councilman who introduced the question. .
