The Cairo daily bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1870-1872, 1870-07-12


rho polls were not opened in five or six of
the precincts, and les, than half vote was
brown in those precincts whore they were
opened
The progress made in the formation
Of jury yesterday, in the case Of the
People W.. Mi,onheimcr. was very ncon-
siderable indeed. Only one Juror was ac-
copied cut Of the regular panel of twenty
four Twcuty-onc were excused for
cause. and two were Excused" pcrempto-
rny. 1t will be quite difficult matter to
form jury in the case; but perseverance
aud plenty Of men and time will finally ac-
complish it,
There will bc-should the weather
permit--a bal Champctrc in the groves at
Mound City this evening. It will be Civ
en- for the benefit Of the German school Of
that place. Hundreds of richly colored
Chinese lanterns will illuminate the
groves; dancing door 40 by 60 feet, plan.
ed and matched, has been laid down. and
one of the best cotillion bands of this city
will furnish the music. lr any Of our
young folks will attend, they will be cOur-
teously received and handsomely enter
tanned.
Parties represented by the firm name
Of J d. Blake ~ Co., Of st. Louis, Missouri,
have boon sending out 90 the newspapers
Of the country highly commcndatory
notice. of J. VI. Brunswick u Bros re-
volving tables. requesting their insertion,
and promising to remit payment on re-
ccipt Of a marked paper. Bills enclosed
TO Mcssrs. j. d. Blake n Co. for payment
Of such service have been returned to the
sender marked mot called for. From
this we take it that Brunswick n Bro have
bccn transacting business through dead
beats. As they are reputable firm, it
would be well enough for them 90 give this
matter their immediate attention
The quibblc originated by the Cincn-
natl Commcrcidi that all bets made on the
race between the Ice and Natchcz to
Cairo, must bc drawn becausr the boats did
not land at Cairo, i, reiterated by Capt.
J. G. Kay, aud will doubles be urged by
everybody who can take advantage of II
to save money. II seems TO u tina, all
persons who bet that the Lee would not
arrive at Cairo in advance Of the Natchcl,
lost their Nagcrs. If any parties bet on
the landing Of the boats at the Cairo
wharf, the matter might assumes different
aspect; but both boats DIT arrive ut Cairo,
and the Lee over I'm dour ahead Of her
competitor. The corporate limits of Cairo
extend 60 the middle of the main channel
Of the Mississippi river, and Mt one point
l both steamers crossed those limits, and
were aatually within the coninc, Of the
corToratipns-as matt of fact, al Cairo,
! c.ir" was n.,nad point 900 miles
| distant from New Ole Is, and every body
| who bet tha, the Lee would no, run that
distance ?, arrive AT Cairo, in less time
than the Natchc1 certainly lost hi, money
We think there i no escape fro thi' con-
elu,ion.
