The Cairo BULLETIN and Sun are dis
cussing with much feeling tbs qualit-
cations Of certain citizens for municipal
positions. The BULLETIN is in favor Of
Col. ) 5. Taylor for mayor and the Sun
| does not object. Here they agree, and cx-
hibit their good sense in good thinking.
Taylor is n proper man for the position.
Taylor is man of brains, of wealth, of in
fluence, and fully understands the wants
Of the city. His election would add digni-
" and influence to the position. In add-
tion to his ability for the position, he Ia
a liberal man. No narrow contracted
notions could influence him.
Messrs. Oberly ard Davis, you are SEN
sible gentlemen, continue to labor for the
election of Taylor Sharneeto,oa Gazette.
The Gdsette takes the right view OF
municipal wants in Cairo, and his eulogy

not directly interested in our local mat
tiers, and who knows Col Taylor well, il
an Endorsement that will attract atten
ton. As the Gazette truly remarks, "hi
election would add dignity and influence
to the position. No narrow, contracte,
notions could influence him. No true,
word was ever spoken in reference TO I
man, than this for among oil our liberia
minded and able men, mono can surps,
Col. Taylor and few, very few are hi
equals.

nection with the office can elicit such war;
encomiums Of liz fitness and ability
what will be the consequences when he
elected
We will take occasion, jus, here, Il

THE HERALD COMMISSIONERS TO CUBA
A Calcium Light Thrown Upon the Ever
Faithful Isle.

From the Newark Journal, Dec. 20.]
The HERALD is throwing its powerful calcium
lights on the terrible struggle which has Tor years
been going on In Cuba between the heroic Cubans
and the blood-thirsty and brutal Spaniards. Hen
derson, its correspondent, who was commissioned
to go and what the actual state OF affairs is In
the Ever Faithful Isle" has returned, ana two or
three pages of Thursdays issue are devoted to the
detailment OF his story. From 1t we learn that his
mission has not been failure, the HERALD itself
edtorially concluded some weeks since, but on the
contrary, has been a complete success He has
seen how the land lies with the Spaniards, and he
has been in the camp and retreats of the brave
insurgents, and he tells his unvarnished tale in
a style that commands for 1t q patient consider
ation He explains how, when his mission was
accomplished, he had nothing to do but come
home. To have yielded to the Spanish demands
and published in their prints the news he pro-
cured at the expense OF the HERALD would have
been gross dereliction Of duty. To stay after de-
clining was to necdlessy endanger his life. The
HERALD itself now gives him full credit for his
pluck and efficiency, which is no more than fair.
As the result OF the news he brings 1t concludes,
too, that the Cubans, unaided, cannot triumph In
their struggle Tor independence and that Spain
"cannot name any definite period within a score OF
completely crushed and the beautiful island re-
stored throughout its length and breadth to peace
and industry. 1t, in fne presents the horrid pic
