POLITICAL NOTES.
Gathered from our Exchanges


The Baltimore movement to nominate
Senator Cameron for vice-president in
1872 is eiitorially approved by the Wash
ington Republican, the recognized organ
of the administration.
Accounts from Pennsylvania give n
very satisfactory report of tina canvass in
that state. 1t is said there is little doubt
of democratic success in the fall. The
party is united, and the radicals are fight
ing over the spoils.
The Richmond Enquirer calls Toombs
and Stephens pair of fools, and freely
expresses the opinion that the former
especially would "bc much moro success
in II lunatic asylum than he is in the role
| of n retired statesman or than he wa:
during the war as u brigadier general.
The New Hampshire Patriot says
New Hampshire is naturally democratic,
and has only been unable to show it, be-
cause the opposition have been in power
and counted the democracy out at every
clcClloi We HE'Iosc w w tHc counting
ourselves in future, fairly and honestly,
which will make all the difference in the
world"
Says the New York Sun, n call has
been issued by the prominent colored men
| in the south, for IN national colored' con-
ven,ionn to meet in Columbia, South Car.
DINA, on Oct. 10. Each state is invited tc
send delegates The purpose of the con
vention is to consider and decide upor
some general line of policy to pro:ec. thu
political rights of colored men for all time
to come.
Considering that throughout the south
the colorcd men are nowhere denied thei
political rights, the proposed convention
is superhuous. The best places for thu
colored men to assemble in October ar,
the corn and cotton fields. Let them de-
vote their attention to building up tn,
waste places and cultivating the soil. Corr
and cotton will do more to preserve politi
cal rights than conventions and resolu
tions.

Wisconsin furnishes dreadful warning
to husbands who are tryingto get divorces
An old farmer named Niessen, living near
St. Francis, in the Milwaukee neighbor-
hood, became suspicious of his loving
spouse and took the foolish idea into his
head that she contemplated killing him.
At last he accused her of the fell design.
She denied it Indignantly, but with wrath
undated the farmer set out in search of
Il divorce. His poor wife, meantime, went
sorrowingly out into the meadow to per-
form her usual task of milking the cows.
While thus employed one of the cows,
vicious animal, set upon her and gored
her so terribly that death ensued shortly
after she was carried into the house. Fool
ish old Niessen was sent after and brought
back to find that death had anticipated his
divorce. But he wishes now that he had
not made fool Of himself.

ORE IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS
One of the richest veins of lead ore in

the Ohio river, in the property of the
Rose Clare Mining Company, Rose Glare,
Hardin county, ILL., The vein is fourteen
feet wide,,and runs through their property
to the extent of mile. Shafts have been
sunk to the depth of two hundred feet,
and the mineral increases in richness with
large per centage of silver. Experienced
miners from Wales and England pro.

SOUND PLANK.

We find the following we'll said words
in one of our democratic exchanges given
as suitable plank in the democratic plat
form: THE contest is coming. Let the
opponents of despotism fall into line and
be ready for the march. There can be no
laggards or lukewarm men in the struggle
now going on. We care not what mans
past political associations have been. If
he is opposed to despotism opposed to
congressional and executive usurpation !;
opposed to the debauchery of our courts of
justice; opposed to high taxes and nation
al cxtravagances, and in favor of a free con-
stitutonal government as the representa-
tive power of free ballot; in favor of the
nearest possible approximation to free
trade, while preserving the revenues de-
rived from imports; in favor of an up.
right judiciary and an honest and econ.
omical governmental is his duty to join
the democratic army and march TO the
music"

The county has made the issue with
the city. On Cairo and her inter-
csts too, is the rallyjng cry iD the rural
precincts. What this spirit of hostility
to Cairo is based on---what cause orer-
ates to produce such an effective are
not able to divine. Those who indulge !
in this kind of talk, who abuse Cairo in |
every breath, are among some of the
heaviest land. owners, and, proportion
ately considered, smallest tax payers of
the county. Mr.. Thos. Mcclure, of
Clear Creek, who is in violent op.
position to both roads, owns farm
twelve hundred acres Of which are i'm
proved and in cultivation, fenced in
with sawed lumber; this land will
bring thirty-fve dollars an acre in
open market: upon the same place he
has large -four mill saw mill and
dwellings. For the farm, with its i'm
provements, it is reported that he re-
fused $4,000. 1t is assessed at $685.
900. There are two large farms on
the ridge, which will bring any day
thirty dollars an acre, under the ham
mer, and which are assessed respect
lively at two and three dollars per acre.
We might add to this list,
but cite this merely to show,
the difference in the assessment of
country and city property in the
same county. The assessed valuation
of the property outside the corporate
limits, is about 100000, one-third of
which is owned by Cairo men-men
who are unceasing workers for the in
terests of the county, as well as the
city. OF the remaining 100000 of
, property, at least forty thousand dollars
/ worth is ownend by non-residents, thus
leaving for the property-holders proper
5 outside of Cairo, 100000, upon
which to pay taxes-or less
than one twenty-ffth of the taxes
of the whole county, while fully nine
tenths of the taxes expended for i'm,
, provements are spent in the erection OF
= bridges, repairs on roads, etc. We
give these figures and facts, to show
that upon the score of onerous taxa
ton, or unjust discrimination i'll the ex'
3 penditure of the county's revenues
these men have no ground for COM
plant And they know it. In their
blind prejudice, they are repeating the
; folly of "biting off the nose to spite the
face" For no matter how this rail-
road matter may terminate, these gen.
tlemen must understand that the eyes
of our people have been opened to this
subject and propose hereafter to see
that Cairo, as well as the country,
shall have full justice in the assessment
of property and the expenditure of the
county's taxes. The iavoritism which
discriminates between country and city
interests is played out, and our country
fellow citizens may make up their minds
to this fact.

THE conviction is implanted in the
breast of every intelligent citizen of
Cairo, that unless the Cairo and Vim
cennes and Cairo and St Louis railroads
are completed, and that speedily, Cairo
will be lost sight of in the grand system
of railroads, which are now spreading,
net -like, over the continent. The Cairo
and Nincennes road will. when COM
pleted, form link in the Southern Pa
cifc railroad-the most important rail
road enterprise ever projected in this or
any country.

Des- A story is going the rounds Of the
the press that an Alabama planter, sew
eral years ago, becoming satisfied that
the vitality Of the cotton plant was des-
troyed only by frost tried an experiment
with single plant. The second year he
picked 800 pounds from it; last year ii
yielded 1898 pounds Of best cotton, and
now it is twenty-five feet high and prom
ises to yield not less than three bales OF
the staple. There is nothing incredibl @
about this, any more than there is about
the true and veracious history Of Jack and

THERE is now tide in the affairs of
Cairo. which if taken ut its food will
lead on to wealth and prosperity, The
building of the two proposed railroads,
will, no one dare deny, beget business /;
business will beget labor and the i'm
migration to supply it; houses must be
built to supply the increase Of popula-
ton, and property within the county
and corporate limits, being thus
brought into greater demand, becomes
more valuable. The benefits are gen
cral, and are not confined to clas'.
The rich aud poor share them alike.
The doctrines of the opponents Of these
railroads, if put into practice, would OPP
crate in manner just the reverse of
this--and under their perniclous teach,
ings the spot where Cairo now stands
would be as bare Of improvements a,

THE trade along the route of the
Vincennes road, is the most valuable
after which Cairo can reach. The
counties along the line are rich and
prosperous, and are, as yet, without any

Vincennes road, and she may then
laugh in her sleeves at the efforts of
her rivals to compete for this trade.
