THE CAIRO DISTRICT.

This strong democratic district was lost to
ito the democracy in 1864, because they per-
sisted in running Josh Allen, a X. G. c.. for
congress. Josh has two decided bad failings,
viz: X. G. c. and whisky on the brain-eith.
Ter of which should prevent his nomination,
Tor that of any other man possessing them
lHe is man of some ability, but until he
$cures himself of those two defects we hope
never to see him candidate for democratic
.aonors. But we see is reported that be is a
candidate for the nomination again, and we
nave no doubt of his election, if he gets the
,racy of that district, ought to know that his
domination would lose us thousands of votes
4 throughout the state, and greatly aid the rad
ascals to another triumph in Illinois. If he
esires the success of the democracy of the
tate; if he places the redemption of Illinoi
bove his own personal ambition, he will
sgithdrsw from the contest for a nomination
Ind turn in for COL John M .Crebbs, of White
bounty, who is candidate for the nomina-
on, and with fair prospects of success
VI bash, Edwards, White and Gallatin have
lreAdy instructed for him, He was gal.
aant soldier, and served four years in the war,
I'D has just returned home, having never, up.
camp or field, failed, either in defense Of
is country or the democratic party. With
ID i'm as our standard bearer in the Cairo dis
istrict, aud hearty and united effort by al
@ ae opponents of Stevens radicalism, Epvp
rould recover her ancient and famous con
III aryative majority. The redemption of tn.
, kiate and the restoration of the Union should
e the objects kept constantly In view. Blu
iese objects cannot be accomplished with q
Trad of K. G. G. and whisky on our backs.

Mr.. Milligan, of Indiana, who was Illegal
ly tried by a military commission and sen
fenced to be hung, and was imprisoned fer a
year and released by decision of the supreme
court of the United States affirming the ille-
gality Of his trial. recently made speech IN
Wells county in that state, in which he is re-
ported 10 have said
'-God is Just But TO who do not understand
his providence, that justice sometimes seems tar
dy. | never was prone to a belief In the frequent
occurrence of special providences, but among the
greatest sinners against Gods righteous will W as
a Lincoln, Brough, and Morton. One has been
summoned to the bar OF retrlbutIve justice, with
his sins unrepented Another, covered all over
with the mildrew of debauchery and wrapped in
exhalations from which buzzards would turn their
offended noses, carried to the grave the Impress

trio but the plague is on Its westward march, his
limbs smote with the blight of CRIME and trem-
BILE under their load OF corruption, but pray he
may live long enough to realize in this world ra-
Their than the next that God is just. But he who
cannot the hand of Divine interposition IN the
visitation upon these wicked men deserves to be
damned for want OF faith"
Nj. Milligan claims to bs democrat, but
the old adage that extremes meet Is verified
in him. and hisspeech Is conclusive evidence
that he is d radical Immediately after the
assassination Of Mr.. Lincoln certain radicals
=
averred that the hand of God was clearly WIS.,
able in the murder We shall not here con-
trovert the opinion. We only ailude to it for
the purpose of showing that they and Mr..
Milligan are of the same faith. We think If
those same radicals had continued their po-
litical ministrations they would have done q
great deal of good in driving men from the
republican party Chicago Times.
There is a general feeling, among the peo-
pie against any more patching and tinkeri n g
the constitution of the United states, until all
the states are represented in congress and all
have voice in any proposed changes in the
organic law of the land. If any change was
to be made, we think the proposition to make
actual voters the basis of representation
would be generally acceptable but this will
never be adopted, because puritan New Eng
land rules the country, and puritan New
England won't permit any such amendment
to be adopted. One voter in New England,
now is equal to two in many of the western
states, and New England don't propose to
yield the advantage she now holds. The
vote of California IN the presidential election
of 1864 was 1O5,975. She has three repre-
sentatives in congress, or one to every 35,375
voters The vote of Massachusetts in the
presidential election was l75, 487. She has
ten representatives in congress, or one to
every H,548 voters Massachusetts has
necrly twice as many representatives in con-
gress. according to her number of voters, as

DIFFICULT SURGICAL OPERATION
About six weeks ago, during the first
cold weather of the present winter, a
German, named John Snider, who had
been employed at Nj Carriers diatillery,
east OF the city, decame intoxicated, and
laid out OF doors all night The next
morning it was found that both his feet
and left hand were completely trozen.--
Having no money, friends OF family III

moved to the comfy Poor House few
days aftor the freezing All efforts 10
estore vitality to the frozen limbs prov,
ed unavalllng, and the dead flesh slough
ed of from the bones, and suppuration
was rapidly extending to the parts nota
first affected. It GOULD not be arrested
by ordinary means, and it soon became
evident that the man would die in few
weeks at farthest unless his legs and
hand were amputated A meeting of the
Board Of Diree tors was held last week,
and DR.. A. Z. Russell, Physician to the
Aims House, made q statement OF the
condition of the patient, and expressed
his opinion that amputation was the
only means of saving the mans life
The members of the Board concurred in
that opinion, and yesterday was fixed
upon for the time OF the operation.
DR.. Russell was accompanied by DIR
Hupp, as assistant, DR., 1. Luns-
ford. of the firm of Robertson and
Lunsford was selected to administer
ether for the production OF anesthesia
it being thought necessary to render the
patient insensible to prevent his sinking
under the operation.
The flesh had sloughed off from the
lower part of the legs leaving the bones
completely expoeed, After the inhala-
ton of etherunth the patient was rem
dered insensible, the right leg was cut OH
about four inches below the knee, DR..
Hnpp doing the cutting, DR.. Russell ap.
plying the tourniquet and DR.. Lunsiord
maintaining the anesthesia of the pa
tient. The left leg was then
amputated by Dr.. Russell about
six inches below the Enee'
DR.. Hupp assisting. After the
arteries had been tied, the parts stitched
together and the bandages applied, the
patient was permitted to recover con-
seriousness, his pulse having been kept
uniformly at about 80 by the skilful ma
nipulation of the sponge. The amputa-
ton of the hand was postponed for
few days.
The operation was complete success
Thepatient rallied rapidly and declared
that he had felt no pain and felt better
after the operation than before, Its hap
Ply termination reflects great credit upor
the surgical skill of Dr. Russell and his
able assistants.
