To the Editor OF the .st. Croix Avis"
Dear Sir

Being always busy, aud also, woman
like, a little bashful to write you whom [
only know through our paper, I have not
before now been able to muster sufficient
courage, nor find sufficient time to write
you, although have agreat many things on
my mind which | am very anxious to ease
it of. | have been very sorry to see how
rude Body Tom, as we used to call him in
olden times, has been, particularly since that
unfortunate engagement OF his. see by his
last note (how different now from those dear
letters of by. gone times) that he still claims
TO be my brother but | also see how rude
heis, Just like.him, to call me a peevish and
frettui little girl. Now, Mr.. Editor, you
have yourself said that you are not born
here, and so, perhaps, you do not know
how much truth or talsehood there is in
what Tommy says. You will, | nope, ex-
cuse me-, il, ia telling you my story, which
will also be Tommy's, as we have been
brought up together, should be q little
prosy. First Of all, | must tell you that
We a. really brother and sister | re-
member quite we'll how father used to tell
me of the manner in which Tommy
OdlilC l OC LHlOWu OI HIS JuuUSs ING He
sought out like q precious pearl. Tommy
he found drifting about in the sea. He
told me to call Tommy brother, and SO |
did. He (Tommy) although a wild boy,
was Q good hearted sort of little chap, not
at all the o~bstreperous, rude upstart he has
now grown, | can assure you but | shall
tell you more of that directly. All we
Mamma, as Sambo used to say, gave me
the whole management of things, because
she had observed that there was more stea-
illness in me than in Tommy, who soon set
up a little Tobacco and ''packety" shop,
while | set Sambo and Joan to plant the
cane. Things went on this way for many
years: | minded my cane fields and Tom
his shop, and we got along very we'll.
Occasionally he would give me a new hat,
and I sent him a demijohn Of "good old
Sta. Cruz" and a barrel Of sugar. [ had
enough of it in those times, and to spare,
and Tommy could very well afford to give
me a hat, for he made a good deal of money
out OF the people on my property. They
bought, OF course, from his shop in prefer
ence to others. All this time mother had
her own way we never disobeyed her or
ders, never; but as we grew up, we both
thought that we were kept too strict and
too much under the petticoat. I remem-
Der, as well as fit had happened to-day,
what Joy we both felt when she told US
that henceforth we should be free to take
care of our own houses and concerns, [, Of
my canes, and Tommy, of bis shop. She
had, however, before giving US this lati-
tude. told US to come together now and
again to talk over matters of common inter-
est. as she called it, and it was arranged
that Tommy, being the younger, should
come to me +; but goodness me! from that
moment all my peace was gone. We
could not agree on any thing, and then

A PLEA FOR JUSTICE.
BY A LADY.
EDITOR CAIRO BULLETIN (:

EDITOR CAIRO BULLETIN:
DEAR SIR knowing you to be an ad-
vocate Of moral right and justice, and inde-
pendent in your editorial action, will you
permit woman to say little about o
matter which deeply concerns the we'll be.
ing Of social life? Women have duties to
perform as we'll as rights to maintain; and
if those who possess ability of the right
kind, were TO exercise their pens little
more than they do, in the columns Of the
local journals Of the provincial ipress, the
influence of woman's proper sphere would
be more generally felt and acknowledged
in municipal matters of q certain class.
Whatever your own opinion may be
respecting the matter whereof am going
speak, trust to that indepe ndence al
lu ded to, for hearing.
..Che foregoing remarks have been sug-
gest I'd from reading in The BULLETIN,
the , Olice record which appeared in its
colum as Of the 18th instant, and which
contain cd the. names of no less than IA
poor ere. Mures, who had strayed from the
paths of irtue, forsaken the God OF their
youth, lea, lug life Of shame, and who
were respec lively fined, each $40 and
costs and he.'c is just what am wonder
ing at.
As matter o. enquiry, only, how ca me
it that the police, when they made the
arrests of these L1isguided girls, did not
arrest their male companions, the guilt
Ter of the tws2 We're there none pres
ent at the time? W,re they permitted
to escape, or was it so h rranged that none
were to be found2
Again, the costs, obs srve, were paid
that is the constables, jus tees fees etc.,
were paid but the fnes-t.he larger sums
which are, believe, render cd to the city
treasury, were not paid at tn Q time, but
given security for. Who ar,' these Sc
curities and when are these I'm es to be
paid and, II paid, is this the way in
which vice is to be put down? Eve.,y one
OF these girls returned, no doubt, % her
old haunts, more hardened than ever, in
stead of being given SO many hours to
leave the city. The owners of the premis %
in which these unfortnnates ply their un
hallowed vacations should be punished
Alas is this Justice Is there not an
abundantlaeld here presented for woman's
work in woman's way? l have some
more to say, with your kind permission,
for my indignation is aroused at the evil
dent injustice which marks the one-sided
treatment of these poor girls More anon.
Respectfully, MARTHA.

TO THOSE WHO WILL UNDER
STAND.

WE do not propose to take any part in
the canvassings preliminary to the meeting
| Of the Democratic Senatorial Convention,
at Jonesboro on the 30th, and have no
doubt the deliberations Of that convention
will be fairly conducted and result to the
advantage of the party; but we have been
informed by letters from Union county
that few Democratic politicians Of that
county are engaged in an intrigue to secure
to Union one of the Democratic candidates
for the lower house Of the Assembly as we'll
as the candidate for Senator. This would
virtually disfranchise Jackson or Alex.
ander, and give to Union the lions share,
since It is O we'll known fact that the
Radicals have determined to run Mr.. In
score, of that county, as the candidate Of
the minority. It would be strange If
under law the object Of which is to give
to the minority of every party representa-
tive, an intrigue Of small politicians
should control Democratic convention in
this senatorial district so as to deprive a
county of any representative in the legis-
lature of the state The spectacle would
be novel and might result in contest Of
the most exciting description. "Fair to-
ting in these matters is the best policy.

Hecuba to him that he should weep for
her 2"
We know Mr.. Wall we'll enough TO
say that the moment he becomes con-
vinced that his candidacy would make q
rent in the coalition he would withdraw
his name from the contest. He is no Of
flce-seeker. Like Horace Greeley he is
willing TO respond when he is called BY
tho public voice, but he knows nothing Of
the politicians trade and detests it. Mr..
Hartzell is, We are informed, also
a man of this kind. He is above
the love of Office, and If his
retirement from the canvass would add to
the Liberalism of Egypt he would not
stand upon the order Of his retiring but
retire at once. And Gen. Jones Who can
say word against his disinterested pa
triotism He is seeking the coalition
nomination, because he believes he is the
only man yet named for congress in the
district who can give overwhelming
strength to the movement by uniting the
Democrats and Liberals in a solid phalanx
as enthusiastic advocates Of his election.
He has not come 10 this conclusion because
he has in his composition grain of ego
tism, but because he knows his strength
with the people--because he has, in the
face OF a retiring and bashsul disposition,
been compelled to recognize in all their
strength the many "points" that make
him peculiarly the best candidate for the
coalition. But the General is a reasona.
Bile man, and if Mr.. Winter, who we must
be allowed 10 say in all kindness is not al
ways reasonable man, could be induced
to reason in regard to this matter, and
could be convinced Of the fact, that it is
just possible that a stronger candidate
than either Wall or Hartzell or Jones'
one over whose claims there has been no
bickering-might be nominated, we have
no doubt, we say, that fthis rather difficult
task could be performed, Gen. Jones would
instantly request to be counted out of the
race.
Well, then, since this is the condition
Of affairs-since the masses Of the Demo-
cratic-Liberals care nothing for persons
since the candidates named for congress
are extremely patriotic and unselfsh gen.
tlemen-and since also, there is growing
up big fight over these gentlemen, how
would do to throw them all overheard
and take up another man as the chosen
of the coalition for Congress? How
icould that do?

From the Peoria Reyiew.l
A lady residing in the upper part of the
city was greatly surprised last evening,
by receiving an application for work
from veritsble John Chinamsn, arrsyed
in calico raiment, and ornamented with a
most extravagan, pigtail. She was averse
to employing him at first, but he showed
good credentials from people she knew
in Chicago, and as be assured her that be
could "speakee Mellicsn welly well, "
and do muehee kind Of homework,
she engaged him, and the entire family
turned out TO see the heather Chinee
work. They reioiced premsturely over
the new girl, for he broke few plates,
smashed lamp chimney, spilled dish
water all over the floor, cleaned his nails
with fork, and finally swore in good
homes. English when be scslded his fin
gers. The rage of his employer was un-
bounded when she found that the Chinee
was her eldest son, and fuel was heaped
on the fire of her wrath when she discov-
cred that his oriental costume was eked

HOW MR.. SEWARD DREW REVOLVER ON
TOOMBs.

HOW MR.. SEWARD DREW REVOLVER ON
ToOMBs.
Not long ago gentleman was telling
me Senatorial anecdote Of, and dating
back to the ante bellum days. Mr.. Sew
ard had made speech something about
the telegraph-when Mr.. Toombs, of Geo
rgia, rose to reply, and made a speech full
OF personal abuse of Seward. He wrought
himself up into a rage and dashed about
in the most aggressive manner. He nm.
ished and took his seat. As Mr.. Seward
rose from his chair every eye was bent
upon him with the greatest anxiety.
With calm, measured steps he walked to-
wards Mr.. Toombs. 1t was noticed that
his right hand was underneath the rear
pocket Of his coat. There was appre-
hension that he was concealing a pistol,
and Mr.. Tombs' friends crowded around
him. When Mr.. Seward reached him he
drew out his hand, and opening his snuff
box politely invited his adversary to take
q pinch OF snuff. "My GodW said Mr..
Tombs, "Mr. Seward, have you no feel
ings" "Take a pinch Of snuff, which
will sooth your agitation" He then re-
turned 10 his seat, and, without any allu-
sion to Mr.. Toombs or his speech, made an
able argument in favor Of his measure,
which he carried, as GOODNESS and self
possession will always win the victory
over hot temper and passionate invec,ive.

CLOSE UP THE RANKS!

There is not, we are sure, Democrat
living in Southern Illinois who is not anx-
ious to redeem the country from the hands
of the Rad ical politicians Of the "Grsnt
ring"
There is not, we are also certain, Lib
eral Republican, in Egypt who does not
desire to wrest tL,e government from the
evil hands of his late political partisans.
There is not, We honestly believe,
either Democrat or Liberal Republican
in this part of the Stat who does not &C.
cept the Cincinnati platform as an equita-
BILE basis on which the union Of the oppo-
nents Of Grantism may be c dected.
In that platform are found all the essen.
tial principles of Progressive Democracy
and with that other kind of Democracy
which feeds on the memories Of be past
the Democrats Of Egypt have no s.'mpa
thy. In that platform are also to b
found all the rallying cries of the refor IN
ers who have broken away from the leaa'
ing strings Of the corrupt rings now con.
trolling the Radical party.
With platform of correct principles,
and candidates who accept that platform
as the rule Of their political action, what
stands in the way Of the complete union of
the Democrats and Liberal Republicans
of Southern Illinois
| There is nothing to bar the way to such
union-nothing that the patriotism Of
the new coalition may not surmount.
Here and there, as in Cairo, we can find
a Liberal who has set up personal friend
as his beau ideal, and who insists tina,
he alone is the proper man to be csndi
date for this or that office and here ant
there, as in Cairo, we can find Democrat
who has come to the determi nation tina,
nobody but his friend shall be the candi
date for this or that office; but it is Q
fact apparent TO all, that the Democrats a.
a mass and the Liberals as body care
nothing for any man, be he Wall, Hart.
zell or Jones. What they desire is the
triumph of their principles, and they will
hereafter nominate candidates for Office
without regard to past party differences
They will nominate their strongest and
best men.
This is the policy we believe the Dem
ocratic-Republicans should adopt in tn,
Wall-Jones-Hartzell contest. They should
t weigh the merits Of each of these meI
: carefully, and take Hartzell if he is tb,
strongest Jones if he is the strongest, O,
q Wall If he is the strongest, or neithsr ~
n them if that is the better policy.
Nobody who has observed the sign, q
e the times can dou this fact, and W
e therefore appeal to the few Liberal polit
e ticians and the few Democratic politician
Q who are attempting to create an issue b
Q tween the Democrats and Liberal Rep,
licans Of this district, to desist from the
chickering's and close up the ranks of Il
l. coalition preparatory to q glorious fgl
