DEATH OF JUDGE .-Intelli

DEATH OF JUDGE STUMp.-Intelli-
gence reached this city last night to the eff.
feet that the Hon. Henry Stump, formerly
Judge of the Criminal Court in this city,
died suddenly at the residence of his brother
in Cecil county, yesterday afternoon. The
deceased was the first Judge of the Criminal
Court elected under the altered State Con-
stitution making the office elective. Judge
Stump was we'll known in the State, and was
in his day regarded as sound lawyer. AS
citizen he was proverbial for his social dis
position The intelligence of his sudden
death will be received with regret by rum err
GUS friends in this city.-Sun Of Monday.
HALLow EEN.-Hallow-eve, the 3lst
Of October, was celebrated in Elkton by
party of hollow heads, who removed gates
from yards, pulled off palings, hauled vehi.
cles away from the places the owners left
them, hung wheels up about porches, re.
moved signs, and committed other like sen
sible tricks. The parties most interested in
keeping alive the good old custom of " burn
ing the nut and powiHg the kale after this
modern improved fashion, need very much
the improvement of public school training.
They might learn that it isn't at all neces-
sary to play the blackguard even once a year.
Swiss BELL RINGERS. These novel
musicians gave very interesting entertain
ment in the Court House, on Tuesday even
ing last. The horse was literally jalnmed,
and never was the need of a public hall more
felt than on that occasion.
The bell ringing is a novel performance,
and to those who witness it for the first time:
the marvellous rapidty with which the ring
ers take up, shake and lay down the bells,
will prove as surprising and interesting as
the silvery Ginning melody they produce.
The concert of the bells was interspersed
by other instrumental and vocal music, the
singing being of the comic class.

A LARGE CLAIM.

The Democrat claims that $500 demo.

this county by the registering officers, whom
it calls ''fanaticel tools of partizan hate. ~
That organ has changed its tune somewhat
We remember it urged all good Democrats
to 60 forward and get registered, assuring
them it would be their own fault if they were
not registered, as the officers of registration
were doing their duty very faithfully and i'm
partially. This was the old tactics of the
managers of that party; bully and blarny :;
but neither course seems to have succeeded.
Fifteen hundred of the unterriied are
cast out. This is on the eve of election, and
that organ don't stop at a lie on such occa-
sions. 1t claims oU as democratic voters
that are not registered, and five hundred ad.

the registered list would exceed the entire
votable population in the couaty. We sup
pose the rebs meant to import or colonize
the odd five or six hundred, had it not been
for the vile registry law. These men, mourn.

MAI. GEN. LOGAN.
SERENADE
HIS SPEECH.

Gen. Logan arrived in this city on Tuesday
evening. During the day yesterday he called
upon many OF his old friends, and received
calls from quite number. In the evening he
was serenaded by band, and responded in
a short and telling speech.
He said he had not expected being called
upon for speech, and regretted that the in
clemency of the weather forbid his saying
as much to his old Cairo friends as he would
like to. He urged the people of Cairo to sup
port for Office none but men, who from the
outbreak of the rebellion to its collapse were
loyal, and advised them of the fact that trail
tors iwere residents of Cairo and stalked their
streets When politician, and visited Cairo,
many who now pass by him without recogni-
ton, then shook him cordially by the hand.
Since then he had done nothing to disgrace Him
in the estimation of true Democrats; but when
he first enter ed the ranks of his country's de-
tenders, he forfeited the friendship oftraitors.
We regret that we did not occupy favora-
BILE position to hear all that the General said
He was vociferously cheered, and at the con-
clusion of his remarks, a large number Of

For the Cairo Daily Times
THR DEAD OF Garcia PLACE FOR
DECENT BURIAL.

AS a citizen and taxpayer OF Cairo, thank
yvu, Mr. Editor, for your pointed and effective
article respecting the duty of the living toward
| the dead.
| The commonest feelings of humanity are
| shocked by the reflection that the dead of our
| city, for years, have been submitted to worse
than watery grave. The grief at the eternal
parting is sharpened and rendered almost un-
bearable when coupled with the surety that the
sacred remains Of the departed must be con-
signed to a lonely, almost God-forsaken spot,
there to rot, perchance, in mud and water.
| As you truly say, if affectionate remem-
brance of the dead should cause the living to
| plant flowers, erect slabs or monuments over
| the graves of loved ones, the turbid waters of
| the Mississippi would surely mar or destroy
them. As it now is. the Cairo cemetery must
ever remain a lonely, forbiddng spot, unim-
proved, and totally unfit for the dust of the
poorest wretch who ever wore the human
form.
This view our Catholic citizens have wisely
taken, and now on the convenient hills they
have beautiful burying ground, furnishing a
place not only for Christian burial, but by it's
pleasant walks and shades, a place one can feel
at least a melancholy pleasure by visiting.
Will our authorities show a like respect for
the dead? The opportunity is now offered
and the only opportunity that ever may be of
fered.
l understand DR.. AFTER will dispose of the
site at Villa Ridge, known as the q Cairo City
Cemetery at reasonable figures. In the name
OF humanity, let us rescue the future dead Of
our city from "watery graves" by purchas-
| ing the profered burying ground. I have
talked to many citizens, and there is but one
voice. unanimous wish that the property
should be purcha sed, enclosed and then sold
out in small parcels to the people, to improve
as they may elect.
| Press this matter. You are working in the
cause of humanity, and the better feelings of
all our people endorse you. LETHE.
! CIRCUIT JUDGEsHIP.-TheC Cairo Union made
its second appearance yesterday, from which
we learn that its party intends putting
in the field the nag Col. Dougherty, of Union
county, in opposition to the Cairo courser, VIM.
II. Green, and expresses a determination to
make the contest political one. In speaking OF
Mr. G. the Union transforms him from the
gentleman we pictured him to be, into mouth
ing demagogue and treason-monger. We have
nothing to do with politics, neither has the
Office for which Mr.. G. is nominated. 1t is
sufficient for US to know that the Honorable
gentleman whose name we presented for the
office of Judge is a citizen of Cairo an orna-
ment to the society in which he moves, law
yer of more than ordinary ability, and gen.
teman every way qualified to reflect honor
and credit on the bench to which we enter
tain not doubt he will be elected to. The
editor of the Union knows nothing against
him and in slandering him, but retails what
prejudced politicians concoct to defeat him.
We still bet on the Cairo courser.

His society is pleasant, and his energy almost
as infective as the wit of his friend Col. VIM.
Hunter, to whom we had an introduction.
These gentlemen were just from the Union
Convention at Nashville. Col. Hunter is an
old residenter of Cairo and desires his regards
extended to the old citizens thereof. He is
now practicing law in Memphis, with success,
and his ''keerd' appears to-day among our adj
vertisements.
We regret that these gentlemen had not time
to see more of Cairo, but conso.ed ourselves
by smiling in company with them.

Casualty on Spring Lake.
From the Peoria Democrat.

From the Peoria Democrat
One of the most shocking casualties by
drowning which we have for q long time re-
corded, occurred on Saturday afternoon last at
Spring Lake, about sixteen miles below Pekin.
According to the statement Of our informant,
family by the name of Clayton reside near
the lake, and two young ladies from Iowa, rel
atives of the family and of the same name
were on a visit to them. On Saturday alter
noon it was proposed to take a boat ride upon
the lake, to which all joyfully assented, and a
boat was procured which it was thought would
answer the purpose, although old and leaky.
The party consisted of the two young ladies
from Iowa, their cousins, two Misses Clayton,
of Spring Lake, and another ycung lady by the
name of Kane, together with a young man and
boy by the name of Clayton, also relatives,
and another young man by the name oil Nc
Lean. in all eight persons.
The youthful party left the shore in the best
possible spirits with the expectation of enjoy
ing pleasant afternoon upon the water, little
dreaming that in the short space of one hour,
three OF their number, then in the bloom oil
health and happiness, would be 10 eternity.
When in about the middle of the lake the boat
suddenly filled, and in less time than we are
writing the paragraph, The whole party were
floating upon the water. The boy managed
to reach the shore, and young Clayton, by al
most superhuman exerlions, succeeded in
saving his two sisters, although his endeavors
were equally exerted to save the lives OF all
the young ladies, but were fruitess. Mclean
managed TO reach the shore by swimming, but
what exertions lie made use of to save the
lives of any of the party is not known. The
bodies of the two Misses Clayton, from Iowa.
together with that of Miss Kane, have been
recovered. The two young ladies saved have
since been quite low, owing to being 80 long
in the water and the consequent excitement at
tie closing il such melancholy manner of an
afternoon devoted TO pleasure. We have
given the particulars as hurridly as related to
us by one who passed Spring Lake Saturday
evening, and any corrections or additional
news we shall lay before our readers at tho
earliest moment.
