1t is said by those who have listened

OF writing many books there is 10
end and the aforesaid Hughcy who has
catholicism on the brain "hns
gone to work and done it again
This time his book is called political
Romanism,' and the manner in which he
denounces the Roman Catholic church is
terrible to contemplate In his introduce
tion he introduces the tree of liberty, and
mentioning the fact that it has been
watercd with the tears and blood, etc,
hopes that it may continue to spread its
branches, etc, and never be cursed by the
whitening shadow of Papal despotism
Mr.. Hughey evidently feels intensely on
this subject
We had the honor of call yesterday
from the Rev. Jacob Bradley, who pre-
scented TO US copy Of the Minutes Of
the Twcnty-frst Annual Meeting of the
Mount Olive Baptist Association, and
Friends Of Humanity, held with the
Spring Church, jamestown, Illinois, Sept.
I, 8, 8 and 10 ISL Mr.. Bradley called
our especial attention to the fact that the
minutes show that his church is the only
Baptist Church of Cairo recognized by the
association, and that J. Bradley J. Hous-
ton and j. Grifiee, were delegates in the
association from Cairo. He said he desired
to live peaceably with Mr.. Shores, but he
denied that Mr.. Shores church wa. en-
titled to the consideration which belonged
to his, and he intimated several things.
But we have nothing to do with the diff
, ferences between these distinguished d.
vines, and must therefore be as dumb as an
+ oyster.
We wish to be useful TO the pulpit a.
well as ornamental to society, and there
fore would beg leave g. suggest 70 the
clergy Of our city that prayer or two
in behalf Of our municipal government,
would not be thrown away If permitted
to indicate the general DRIFT Of "a PRAYER
on this subject, We would sugges. that it
should be short; that !, should embrace an
appeal looking to the awakening of the
better class Of our people 10 the necessity
Of good municipal government--to the
Importance of defeating the nerarious
schemes of the drawback fellows who
would, if they could, go for things and
the wisdom of seeking t. get as good a
government and even better one than
we have had during the past fiscal year
Prayers Of this substance ornamented
with rhetoric skilfully used would have
a happy effect, and aid the friends of
good municipal government great deal
in the pending contest.
-MclIale, who has been put in charge
of the sewers Of the city, discovered, few
days ago, that the Tenth street sewer could
not be closed, and on investigation, as
certained that it never had been closed.
The valve was too large, ard would not
work freely. Mac Immediately called the
attention Of drainage committee to the
condition of the affairs, and was promptly
authorized to put the valve into working
order, Our citizens have, no doubt, OBJ
served, that whenever the water in the
Ohio rose above the mouth of the sewer,
water began to run ont of the sewers into
the low places Of the city This water
was not sipe water but leakage through
the Tenth street sewer, and, the wonder il,
that it did not pour into the city in still
more copou' floods. But we have-par-
don the expression dead wood on the
old thing now, and after McIIale and Billy
Hamilton, who is helping Mac get
through with it, we shall not be troubled
any more with that sewer, sure.
