We met on our streets, yesterday, Hen
~ Mayo, who, about three years ago,
was sentenced to the penitentiary by
the Alexander circuit court, for the
term Of his naturallife. He was con-
victed ofthe murder Of an old man liv-
ing near Goose Island, whose name has
now passed from our mind The evil.

edly pointed to Mayo as the guilty party.
To our inquiry show did you secure o
pardon?" he. replied, "Oh, old John

ed at all; that being drunk he knocked
his own brains out by falling down in n
wagon among some plows. ,Vindicating
himself thus, he made heavy charge
upon his neighbors who had interested
themselves ia bringing about his convic-
ton. He was n better man than the
best man among them, and would COM
pare records from the cradle forward.
There was no blood on his hands, and
they knew it. Plumber was their pur-
pose, and, being successful in swearing
him into the penitentiary, they COM
menced their work of plumber before he
reached Joliet. They couldn't steal his
land, but they made away with at least
a thousand dollars worth Of movable
property he had left that
they could use or convert into money,
This, be 1t understood, Is Mayo's story.
For the other side It can be said that he
had u fair trial; ajury ofhis own selec.
ton; and when the evidence, pro and

not even a reasonable doubt as to his
guilt, left upon the minds Of the jury.

Eiitors Evening Bulletin:
Your paper Of last evening contains
an article over the signature OF Peter
that Is not In accordance with the facts,
as am prepared to prove by competent
witnesses. The statement to which I
refer reads rs follows: "I further assert
that n sale by me was suppressed, or not
mentioned In the last price list, that was
fifty cents on the barrel below other re.
ports OF sales Of the same grade"
The facts are these mr.. Cuhl reported
to me as having sold 400 bbls superfine
-four at - IS per Dbl" made "a memo
randum Of the sale, with others that no
gave me at the same time, with the in
tention Of publishing 1t. BY the merest
accident I afterwards mentioned the sale
tit being an unusually low price for that
grade Of fiourI 10 The parties who had
made the purchase. They Immediately
Informed me that the flour they had
purchased of Mr.. Cuhl at that price, was
thought on It's own merits, and not as
superiine -four; that the grade was not
Uniform" the best Of IL not being, Ia
their judgment, "better than good ar.
ticle OF fine flour, while 81 bbls of 1t were
classed as being what Is termed good
middlings.'" .gy7nRCTTA
o. Furthermore, in order TO assure myself
that there could be no possible error OF
judgment In the grades Of the flour, 1
submitted samples of the two brands
that composed the 100 bills reported, to
a gentleman who has been exclusively
In that business for some twenty years,
and Is conceded TO be one Of the Very
best judges Of flour In the state.
He pronounced the best OF them "good
fine flour" and the other good midlings.'l
Under these circumstances, ] reported
the sale as 100 bills on its merits ats4 65,
and am willing 10 leave II to the impair
tial judgment of any good business man,
ms to whether the sale WAS, or WAS not,
correctly reported.
Knight perhaps with propriety also
mention that the parties who purchased
the ABOVE lot Of flour, told me that Mr..
Cubl refused to sell them the best Of the
two grades, by itself, At that price. They
had to take the "a bbls Of inferior grade,
In order to get the other. The question
naturally suggests itself that supposing
those two brands Of -four belonged to
two different shippers, what sort OF jus.
tice does the owner Of the better quality,
get by having his -four deprecated be-
low its merits, In order TO work off some-
body else's good middlingsT rr tls
In conclusion, will add that as editor
of the Cairo Price Current am always
ready and willing to publish sales OF pro-
duce or merchandise that are given to
me by my patrons In good faith, but
shall always expect that, should occa-
sion require 1t any sale reported will bear
the test OF Investigation, as to whether
the goods and prices were as represented.
