.PERsoxAn.-We had the pleasure OF
call this morning from our old friend ana
former fellow quill, Capt. |. NJ. Talmage
Provost Marshal Of Cairo, who is up this
way on flying visit. He has the appear
ancc Of man who enjoys life.
The Captain is held in high estp'-uoh oy
the citizens of Cairo, which pl'se nc keeps
in the most orderly and -"'l'"e" manner
He showed us mos. elegant and costly
sword, presenter 20 him by the citizens of
that nlace-. .,ch in gold and silver orna-
,,ont. .,,d set at the hilt with beautiful
o.rbuncle. This, together with the accom-
panying belt, sash, and beautiful set of
ivory stocked, silver plated pistols, cost over
$500. Verify "Tal" is in favor at Cairo, as
no doubt he justly deserves to be-
~
Various persons during the past few
months have had their pockets relieved of
preenbacks while at the Burtis HOuse.-R
l. Union.
The assertion is directly made, and just
o1c11 <1~n yy.,sa 40, f,~
nish the proof Does that paper know Of
single instance that will justify the above as
sertion.-DAv. DEMocRAT.
We understand that all three of the par
ties, Smith, Baker Bottomly, were arrested
in the act Of picking the pocket Of man in
the Burtis House, just at the time when they
were passing into the dining room. There
have been other cases, but we cannot single
them out and tell exactly when they took
place-R. l. Union
You understand what is not true. The
three scamps above mentioned were arrest
cd while rcbbing man who was getting
upon the train at the Depot, and SO the Dav-
enport papers plainly stated, and We make
no doubt that you read the accounts pub
lished. There have been other cases Of rob-
beery at the same place, but they no more
happened at the Burtis Huose than at any
other hotel in the city. For the informa-
ton of the Union editor it is well to state
that the Burtis House is aps . train of cars,
nor railroad depot. The Union further
adds:
1.-THE idea which the Davenport paper
wishes to convey to its readers is that we
are charging the proprietors Of the Burtis
House with these robberies, which is false.
We suppose q robbery might take place at
that house without the proprietors being
Suspected as participators in the robbery. :
Not at all. We only wished to have you
make good . positive assertion, which we
knew to be false. It is true that . robbery
or murder might take place there, but -
none has happened, we merely wanted to
know your grounds for the wholesale libel
The Union is further informed that the
Burtis House has no propirstors. It i the
property Of one individual The item ilrst
