The Cairo bulletin. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1872-1878, 1875-11-13

General Babcock. who Is connected
with the odious st. Louis whisky ring, is
one Of the men OF Washington who can
enter the private door Of the White
House without Knocking. His convic-
ton would be a great blow to the gov
eminent. and 1t will be n difficult matter
to accomplish.
The official count of the recent cleo
ton In Cook county has been finished.
One city precinct was thrown out on &C
court OF irregularities In the returns.
Huck received. from all other precincts
and towns, 2o.s9l, and Hesing, 26,374.
lluck's plurality, l.202.
The Southern Nii,oisan says: "Thc
Buliner side of the Williamson county
vendetta has been pretty well cleaned
out. 1t is about time operations were
begun on the Russell side. The blood OF
old man Bulliner, Dave Bulliner and
Vincent lIinchclln' still cryeth for VEN
geance."
The Memphis AUdlanehe says: "W III
Gov. Amcs, of Mississippi, he impeach, ~

from the Northern press. Amos ncii )
deserves impeachment. but is not worth
the necessary trouble and expense. lac

1t is a mistake to suppose that Presi-
dent Grant always has his pockets full of
cash. The n. Y. SIN publishes the text
of two mortgages executed last year by
Ulysses ;. Grant and Julia ID. Grant OF
all his Long Branch and Deal property

press Company. to secure the payment
of $4,000 borrowed money. The presi-
dent must have money, we all know.
1t will be remembered by Our readers
that after the Methodist church trial of
Gen. Prcntiss, tor slandering his PASTOR
the Rev. ii. o. Hoffman, at Quincy, three
prominent members of the church pre-
ferrcd charges OF gross immortality
against Mr.. Hoffman. His trial before
seven elders of the church is now in pro-
"ress in that city with closed doors. No
great Interest is manifested outside the
church, rs everybody has formed an opin-
ion from tie other trial as TO the guilt or
innocence of the accused. 1t is reported
that additional and damaging testimony
will be introduced against the reverend
gentleman. General Prentiss ANA his at
torney were excluded from the court.
The Egyptian Press, because its edi-
tor does not like Joe +. Robarts. dishes
up the following rough language for the
CarbOndale girls 10 grin and bear +: ''Thc
pull-back dress discloses the fact that two
thirds of the Carbonate girls are bow
legged, and the Other third have warts on
their knees Robarts filings back dirt
viciously, the Marion girls having to SUI
fer. Perhaps Joe's sub-editor wrote it :
"Witless, dirty. vulgar, false and alone
worthy of the unclean source whence IL
emanaled. The girls of Carbonate are
all of handsome form, good looking, well
dressed, and almost entirely ignore the
'pull-bnck so much in vogue with the
hat-footed, knock-kneed set at Marion,
who straddle and walk as If going up
hill or crossing plowed fields"
The st. Louis Westiichc Post has been
scrutinizing the wisky ring situation,
and makes the following startling points
about Babcock: "The grand jury that
again meets to-day to examine into the
facts connected with the whisky frauds.
which were VIGOROUSLY conducted and
protected from above, must under no
circumstances overlook one thing. The
Washington kilograms, written in cipher,
which are before them, warning the dis
tillers of this city of their imminent dam
ger, are based upon and derived from a
knowledge which at that time but two
single persons possessed, Only Bristow
snd Grant knew of the steps that were to
be taken, and as we know that those sig
mails of warning Were not given by Bris-
tow, they could only have come from
Grant, or one in his confidence. The
whole country, therefore, points already
to the notorious BabcOck. Grants body

~ Chattanooga exchange says: "Ma-
jor ID. A. Carpenter, of the firm Of Car
penter, Ross 4 Co., of Chattanooga. few
day since offered ten dollars to have an out

apples from her and refused to pay her.
He was forced to give her the dime,
and then to listen to an opinion
