The post-oiiicc will be removed into
the custom house building in about four
weeks certainly within six weeks. Mr..
Sease, considering the embarussments he
has labored under, has pushed bis work
through with great rapidity and in the
most workman-like manner. He il, it is
true, a strong Grant man, but first class
gentleman for all that.
-Gla1ney is "a long suffering darkcy, or
he would not patiently take the affront
the radical ofiice.holders convention put
upon him on Monday, when it made Bill
Scott delegate to Springfield and Glad
ney only nm alternate. But, then, Wood
and the other old boys know how to put
the political ring in Sambos nose and lead
him into unpleasant pastures.
Col. Wood has, we think, little re-
spect for the great republican party Of
Cairo, since he was so far forgetful of its
dignity as 10 desire TO make the darkcy,
Bill Scott, the keeper of low down
saloon, the chairman Of the republican del
ega,es from this county to the radical con
