The Truth Succiact.y Expressed.

word that carried the North through the
late civil war, and propelled millions of vol
unteers to the Southern plains, was that
''the Government must be preserved. y
How the Government ever was imperiled
by eleven States withdrawing from it, and
forming new government, was never very
clear to our comprehension. 1t seemed to be
awar rather for the preservation of territory
than any form Of government But it was
not so regarded, as we have said, by the
mass Of our people. They went to war;
spent 81 900, 900, 900 or So, ZOO, ,0O0. 400 and
l,500,000 lives "to preserve the Govern
ment. " They were successful in the mill,
tary struggle, and overwhelmed the enemy,
after this enormous cost and sacrifice. Now,
of course, we should have the Govern
preserved" in all its integrity. Such was
the promise. How has it been fulflled?-
Listen, and hear one eff the greatest cham
pions Of the war, Mr.. Raymond, of the
New York Times, who in late number Of
that journal, tells US;
1T is quite useless to ignore the plain
and palpable fact that the rebellion and the
war have revolutionized our Government.
We are not living under the Constitution
: of 1889, but under an unwritten Conssitu-
tion, which represents the National will as
embodied in the action of Congress. The
limitations of the old Constitution have
ceased to have binding force. y The
President G Al
OF Congress are against him. The Supreme
Court is poweress, because The case can NOT
come up TOR its action, or the Court has no
means Of enforcing its DEGREES. The people
are without remedy, because ten States are
not allowed any voice, and the remainder
sustain TIE usurped authority. We are
, hVlng under q de factO government gov
ernment resting on force and the will of the
people who sustain it. 4 *n* The war
wrought revolution in public sentiment
Which, in its turn wrought revolution in
the practical administration Of the Govern
nent. Congress represents that revolution
and acts under its inspiration. England
has just such Constitution as that. The
option Of Parliament and the will of the
peolle is the upwritten Constitution by
which England is governed. This is the
actual state of our affairs. 1t is, perhaps,
wiser to adjust our public action to il than
to waste strength and time in contending
against it. = tlsss.l5s sg
These are weighty words, full of sorrow
full but condensed truth, that no intelligent
man will dispute. They will bear reading
over several times, and they ought to elicit
much reflection This, then, has been the
result Of the war-not TO save, but to de-
stroy the Government, for which millions
laid down their lives, in the delpsiyo hope
and expectation that they were making our
institutions permanent. A finer acknowl-
edgsment than the above TO the wisdom of
those who opposed the war and disputed
the whole philosophy upon which it was
based, we have never seen, and, coming as
il does. from an original advocate and sup
porter Of the war, it possesses ten-fold
force.

ington that there is an idea prevalent among
congressman that the interest Of the public
generally and of the steam boat owners and
those who manage and run steamboats, espe-
cialiy, are adverse and antagonistic, and that
to serve the interest of the public they must
do something unpopular and pre]udicial to
steamboatmen. The idea prevails to such
an extent that measure would be passed,
probably, simply because steamboatmen op-
posed it. If you can present the idea clear
ly and back it up BY facts and arguments,
showing that whatever is for your interest in

Relief for the Starving.

We have been requested to publish the
following and hope the citizens of this COM
munity will heed the appeal in behalf OF
those in the South who are suffering for
food.
To THE PEoPLE OF ILLINOIS:
We, the undersigned, appointed COM
mittee of Southern Relief Association, at
Cairo, would earnestly call your attention to
the sad fact that there are large number
of our people in Alabama, Mississippi, and
other Southern States in great restitution
and absolutely suffering for food. We, OF
this State, are in the midst of abundance
God has blessed this land that we might be
enabled to relieve the distress of our neigh
bors. Let not, therefore, the cry OF the dis
tressed and hungry come to us In vain. 1t
YOU have little, give of that little; II you
have plenty, give of your abundance. On
our part, we will, in addition to what we can
| otherwise do, agree to see that the donations
are stored and forwarded without charge and
| without freight, whenever it be possible.
| The Illinois Central Railroad will forward

POLITICS IN COURT.

In the Second Grand Division of this State,
portion of the fannatical republicans have
COTTON up a party candidate against our
present able and estimable chief justice of
the supreme court Judge Walker) because
he is not a radical and will not be party
Judge. We believe that the better portion OF
the republicans will aid in the reelection OF
Judge Walker. A large majority of the bar
of that district, irrespective of party, support
him for reelection.
This course of the fanatics compares unfa-
vorably with the action of the democracy OF
this Grand Division, who unanimously sup
ported udge..Lawrence, Ia republican, 70,
the supreme..court to fill the place of Judge
Cation.
1t is also in marked contrast with the
course of the democracy of this judicial dis
trict, who are supporting Hon. George "
Peasants Ia republican, for circuit judge
simply because he is. the mostssuitable maj
for the office, and will not be party judge
As another evidence that it is not the desir
of the democracy to mingle politics in ju
dicial matters, the Cairo Democrat warml
supports Hon. John Olney, republican, TO
the circuit judgeship in the first judicial Gil
ton the ground that Mr.. Olney is capa
bic and competent for the position.
Democrats have never sought to carr
politics into our courts, and they do not pre-
pose to do SO now-nor do we believe tn
better class of republicans will do SO IN tn
case of Chief Justice Walker.

We learn, from New Orleans paper,
that radical gospeller, from the north, was
recently terribly distressed at finding the ne
groes; living together as husbands and wives,
in that community, without having been
married by preacher. He induced enough
of them to let him marry them, at So pair
to make $4,000 out of the operation.
Another combination of yankees protested
to issue certificates, authorizing the ne
groes to vote, for which each negro was
charged fifty cents as minimum fee, some
times more, according to the ability of the
negro to pay. Some nineteen thousand o
these fraudulent certificates were issued, by
which the radicals realized about ten thous
and dollars. These radicals, preachers ant
all, were of the class who wanted the wa

The supreme. court, at Washington City

The supreme court, at Washington City,
has decided that cities are liable to pay the
internal revenue tax on gas consumed in the
public lamps. The next step viii be, most
likely, to tax private lamps, and then day
light. Radicalism don't like light at any
rate and if people are resolved to have it
the radicals are resolved that they shall be
taxed for it. They have taxed everything
and every body except government bonds
bond-holders and niggers. These exception
constitute a privileged class; the bond-hold

President and Members of the Board o
Trade:
GENTLEMEN-Your attention is called tt
the continuous assaults under various pre-
texts made on our commerce; particular,
on that carried on by means of water car
riage, one material adjunct of which "stean
boilers" being under the control of employ
ees not held in sufficient or strictly penal re
sponsibilitv, embrace among their numbe
many careless, some reckless, others incom
petent men.
The owners of vessels in no country, as
class, are fully competent judges of tn
qualifications of engineers whom they neces
sarily employ. Government inspect boiler
with the appurtenances, specifically taxin
therefor; license engineers, and permit sue
only to be employed. In such case the ov
ners of vessels should, in equity, be abso!ve
from all responsibility in event of expiosio
of boilers or collapse of fues; or at least tn
person under whose charge said boilers ma
have been, should bear the heaviest part,
whole, of the penalty earned by the crime.
Should the mis-called accident occur b
recklessness, carelessness, burning, erosion
or other existing deterioration of the boile
or the want of incessant attention impers
