THE CAIRO d FULTON II. X.
The Matter SIN in stain QUO

There was reason for anticipating that
contract would be closed with Col
Allen, tor the construction and operation
of the Z. d +. II. X. from Bira's Point to
Charleston, AS soon rs practicable after
Cairo voted the 100000 asked Of her.
This conclusion WAS confirmed by the
receipt Of the following letter:
-, WALL STREET,
Nfw YonK CRY, July %, 1859.
To the Mayor Caro- illinois:
SIK:-I learn by the papers that your
people have, by vote nearly unani.
nous, agreed TO the proposed subscrip-
ton Of SlOO, 900 for the purpose Of secur-
ing the opening Of the railroad from
Charleston, Mo-, 10 the Mississippi river,
opposite Cairo.
iexpect to be down over our road at
its opening, and will endeavur. at that
time, to meet you, la order to make the
necessary arrangements to carry the
proposed subscription into practical eff
feet.
Congratulating you upon the result, i
remain very respectfully, yours,
rHo's. ALLEN.
Since the receipt Of the above letter
Col. Allen has not been heard from on
the subject. We are still inclined TO be-
lieve that the Colonel intends to act in
good faith with our people, but we must
confess that his protracted silence is, TO
US, inexplicsble, unless IL can be explain
ed by the demand upon his time coca
stoned by the opening Of the Iron Noun
tain railroad, Of which he Is president.

The taxes Of the present year, as sta
ted by us yesterday, are payable half In
cash and half In scrip. The levy is the
same as that Of last year, viz: 81 so on
the 500 90, but q greater proportion of 1t
is:payable In cash. The issue OF bonds
to Fox, Howard & Co., created q neces-
sity Of levy Of 25 cents on the 500, TO
provide the interest. In addition to this
levy, 50 cents On the 500 have been
levied to provide interest for the general
bonded Indebtedness OF the city, the two
aggregating Is cents on the 500, or half
the total levy. Asnoth.ng but cash will
pay interest, the treasurer cannot, OF
course, receive ANYTHING else. The levy

and the levy Of % cents on the 500 for

BIGAMY AND SUICIDE.
A Reckless Villain NInrries Two Women On
OF them Commits Suicide.

Reckless OF fiEhleln ihsh I;, D5%iSs EMc Eomen
The Media (Pa.) American of the Sth instant
contains the fsllowing:-
There has been some excitement for the past
week in Darby and vicinity over n case of bga-
my and an attempted suicide. James Dough-
erty, residing in the borough, on the Sd Of July
last married young woman in the employ OF
Mr.. Pusey. Some three or four weeks after
their marriage, Dougherty induced his wife to
give him some $500 on the preteXt of buying a
home for them in kingsessing. A few days after
he succeeded in getting the money, Dougherty
eloped with woman from Darby, went to New
Castle Del, and was there married to woman
No. q Other parties from the vicinity of Darby
were married ut the same time and by the same
priest-these returned told OF the marriage, but
kept their own counsel for a time rs to the
whereabouts of Dougherty and his wife. The
legal wife, left in Darby, had resided there for
many years, and had always borne an excellent
character. She was industrious and frugal; and
the profit of eleven years work as domestic
was 5000, out of nearly all of which she was
swindled by Dougherty. She soon learned OF
the second marriage, and on Sunday morning OF
last week took quantity of corrosive sublimate
with view to end all her troubles. The dose
was to large too operate with fatal speed, bat
first infamed and then produced modification OF
the stomach and from this, at last accounts, she
was slowly dying-the physician deeming the
case entirely hopeless.
"Dougherty had taken wife No. 2 to Boston.
and was there living upon the money obtained
from wife No l. The authorities of Darby, de.
termined to bring him to punishment, made
every eXertion to ascertain his whereabouts in
this endeayor they were aided by Rev. Father
O'Neill, who soon discovered the city, the street.
and the room in which the parties were living,
The Burgess of Darby started to Boston on
Wednesday last for the purpose of effecting the
arrest and bringing his prisoner here II i.
thought, however, that he will have to be de
livered to the authorities OF Delaware, where
the crime of bigamy was committed. The vii
lainous deception he used to swindle his frs
wife out of her hard earnings has no remedy
in law"
