ELECTION ITEMS.

The custom house, as IN duty bound,
poured out its voters yesterday.
The democratic G, ~ IN Cairo over the
vote of 1868 is 60 votes. Very good.
The republicans of this city concedo
the election of Martin by handsome ma
jority.
John II. Robinson, Esq, ran for JUS
tice of the peace yesterday like . scared
rabbit, and all unnecessarily, as there wa.
nobody after him.
There was not ripple of excitement
at either Of the polls yesterday. All was
calm and serene. People voted in lazy
sort of way and went about their business.
Pope was not visible yesterday, much.
Sly boy that he is, he works behind the
scenes, you know pulls the wires, and
makes hspuppets dance-black and whito
One colored voter said, Aourishing his
ticket Here's a vote for Martin. I
made martin boxes when I was boy and
Use goin' to stick to Martin now" And
he did. His vote was better than his pun
-Conspicuously at the South Cairo pre-
cinct was Hon. d. w. Mum, mastering
his niggers. He had ring prepared for
SCOTS nose but did not use 1t. Scott came
to time without being persuaded"
An enthusiastic democrat-that is,
calmly enthusiastic-was very an xious
yesterday afternoon to bet q hundred dol
lars on Martins election. He has his
money in his pocket yet.
Martin and Miller were both very at
tontive at the poles yesterday. They were
both decidedly modest, neither of the two
seeming to be in his legitimate business.
If there is in the city two men wholly in
competent politicians they are Miller and
Martin. They know absolutely nothing
about button boiling, and in the presence
OF an elector are as bashful as young girls,
There Is only one other person in the city
as modest as NJ. and NJ. 1t is unnecessary
to say, We are that man. We can there
fore appreciate the difficulties under
which our friends lsbored and the embar.
rassments which met them on every side

ABOUT CRIMES.
-Pelice business was dull yesterday.


-Moser, the homicide whose knife
let out the life Of Bribsch, was taken be-
fore Judge Bross yesterday for prelimi-
nary examination. He was remsnded
until to-day At 10 o'clock.
-Bribach's death was the theme Of con-
versation in every part Of the city yester-
day. A post norton examination disclosed
the fact that the second rib on the left side
had been severed by the knife blade which
had penetrated the heart.
The room of q boarder at the Gaffney
house, named Taylor, was robbed on Mon
day night Of an overcoat and lot of cloth
ing. Taylor, under the instructions of a
well-known policeman of this city, spotted
his men-three thieves--and accompanied
them, yesterday morning, to Columbus on
the steamer Illinois. He there procured
their arrest and brought them back to
this city yesterday afternoon. Marshal
Cain received them, and in irons marched
the boys to the lookup.
George Moser the slayer of Robert
Bribach, was born in Poltsheim in Baden,
40 years ago. He has been five years in
America, has no family, except sister,
a resident of this city. BY trade, he is q
tinsmth, and has been in Cairo only five
days. Robert Bribach, who was killed by
Moser, was an Austrian. He was born
in tho city of Liepsig, the capital city of
SaIony. At the time of his death he was
Al years of age. He lived five years in st.
Louis and came to Cairo in 1860 He
leaves q wife and two children.

While they were taking their prisoner ia
