"Wild Waco, Texas, was In the city last night and created some fun and amusement for tbe boys. He swore lie would cut eveiy negro's throat that said "scat" None of the darkies said "scat," I guess, as they are all on hand to-day and no one has been reported as missing. Later a police officer stated to your cor-mpondeot that a pack'ot small "coons" got in behind the celebrated "Wild Bill" and made' him "tote the mail" from Methodist Bill, crying police! policel every jump he took.

"We printed 860 copies of it some time szo, and the party who had the work done paid casn ror it, nis name was not on our doou." This question Mr. Roberts declined to answer at that time, bnt said he would see the party and would also do all he could to clear Mr.

When told of the reprint conv used for the book, Mr. Roseer raid: "1 cannot understand that, as I have never seen or heard of any book on engineering which contained the same questions and answers as those adopted by our board.

Yesterday Mr. Carr learned the names of two men running trains on the Louisville Nashville road, who are Indebted to the "little blue book" for their liaences. These men are not on the main line, but are in charge of engines, and have obtained license.

Mr. Catr has now reason to believe that these men are not competent engineers, and he has ordered them to come before the Board and stand a second examination. They will be put mrougn a more rigia examination, ana it they fail to pass, their licenses will be revoked. At present they know of no others who have secured licenses by means ot the book, bnt if any more suoh are discovered, they will be re- exauunea at once. HACKS, HACKS Ho, for the Fair Grounds! We do most emphatically and uncompro misingly object to the way that the StateFair committee wants to run our business, as set forth in an article in the Dispatch on th 27th Inst allowing "any and everybody" to ran vehicles during the Fair without license; taking from ns the only chance we have for a harvest and inviting outsiders to come and run opposition to usyijen who never pay one cent into the Cltv Treasury.

We think it wui ue very unjust lu our utyujuncu to Kinut buuu peuuipu, wpi nope uty wiu not listen to such a propositi. Ve thiol-somebody has an ax to crind. Tho fcltv'Will be over run witn nacitmen ana their uaciis Horn other toWns within fiftv miles of Montffomfirv. and it Will be like the farmer, who expecting a large yield from bis cotton, when, Is, the. worms aesiroy it iwenty-iour nours.

we look to bur Council for protection, and hope they Will not grant any' such privilege further than to those Who take i out license and enter regularity into the hack and transportation business as pubjic carriers. We feel that we are already being discriminated against by auuwiug iub oiroet utr company run. Without license, as many cars as they can. but we do not mean to complain of that because we are as proua oi tne street car line as any other; citizen, but like to have some equalization In' license as welt as taxes, and as the railroad and steamboats are going to ran In opposition to us. and now to turn in and Invite the whole State to come in and help' sin us oui we imnK it perieciiy outrageous.

Just as well allow auctioneers and in fact every other line of business do the same thing While business, is brisk, in the' winter. We heartily endorse what the AD-' vAiKiiaihtt nas to say auoui ii, men is as ioi-lows: Montgomery must stretch, and spread her- seu iu meet me emergencies oi-iue occasion aod make it pleasant for all that coitie. ii win require unusual raojiiues to convey the tremendous crowd to ahd from thn ntv and the fair grounds!

As to What the Democrats 'Will da Washington special to the Cincinnati Enquirer: The distractions of the Democracy touching the tariff are now to be' overcome in the spirit ot compromise. This Is the liven of the conference at Oakvlew between the presi- vent Speaker Carlisle nnd other lights. Ran dall, despite all contrary reports, iejwilliog to meet those whom he has hereto fore opposed on common ground. It neod not be a surprise, therefore, If the ways ana means commuter uie nexi nous of Representatives agree upon a bill which will command uuited Uemon ic support It will be a bill applicable to i-ual revenue as well as customs reduction. The fi'ee trade element will concede free tobaooo.

The high tariff Democrats will yield the reduction on steel rolls and raw materials save wool. The lower gtodos of wool will envape excise duty, but the higher will be protected. On this basij the Ohio tariif Demociats can get-under Uie wing of the compromise. The chairman of the ways and means committee will probably be Sunset Cox of New York. Cox is la harmony with Speaker Carlisle on his tariff views, and is a broader man than Roger Q.

Mills ot Texas, who aspires to leadership. Mills is thought of for the place Solely because by the casualties ot the last congressional election he stands at the head of the rosier ot the members re-elected. Other wise he has no claims, and would, indeed, be a poor figure-head to lead a Democratic popular branch. He has the infirmities of temper which unfit him for command. The fact that the Demociats may unite on a tariff measure does not carry with it the assurance that a new tariff schedule will be the outcome ol the approaching Congress.

The Senate, it should be borne in mind, Is dominated by influences amagonistic to customs reductions. Should the House send a bill to the Senate it will not he recognized after its amendment in the higher body. The shape the Senate would put the bill would provide for tree tobacco, free sugar, or nearly so, and the abolition of special duties. This is the Sherman idea, and Sherman, after all, on all fiscal questions, is the leader. Thus it will be seen that the troubles and differences incident to the tariff only begi natter tue Houseshall have sent a Dm to tne senate, it is tnis reruge which constrains the hum tariff Democrats to yield the ell, hoping the Senate will save the men.
