In the special telegram to the Chicago
Times. from Washington, published in
another column of this issue of the B,I.
LsriN. will be found a discussion of the
several gentlemen who have been named
IN connection with the office of President
1t will be seen by those who read this
dispatch, that Judge David Davis has al
ready become formidable candidate for
tie Democratic nomination. We have
reason to believe he will gain in strength
from this time until the meeting of the
II. Louis convention. We are not sure
that lie will be nominated BY the
Democratic party. but we are sure
that he ought TO be. The Demo-
cratic party j. slow in the
requirement OF partisan wisdom, and its
sagacious counsclors may not be able to
teach 1t up TO the fact that Judge Davis is
TO Use a Schcncki>m-its strongest card.
But We hope that they may be. and that
David Davis-that most excellent ALTER
alive name--may be .placcda at the head OF
the National Democratic Ticket.
The very careful Washington cor.
respondent OF the New York Herald, Mr..
Nordhon, says, in dispatch to his paper
dated March 10th: within the past
week the Southern Democrats have dis
'cussed very freely proposition to urge
the nomination at st. LOUIS of Judge
David Davis. and the strength of the
movement in favor of Judge Davis has
greatly surprised Southern men
'thcmscly.>.' In PENNSYLVANIA. and
some of the New England States, the
Davis movement Is obtaining great
strength, and in Ohio evcn there is known
to be decided outcropping of sentiment
in his favor. Indiana Is. of course. pro.
nounccd in favor of Gov. Hendricks, but
second in the estimation of the Demo.
crat> ofthat State stands Judge Davis. In
Northern and Middle Illinois the DAYS.
sentiment Is pronounced, while in South
ern Illinois. and particularly in Lower
Egypt, the sentiment Of the party has
been flowing in the direction of Hen.
drlcks. Lately, however, Judge Davis
has been gaining much strength even In
Lower Egypt. Men like Hon. S. ).
Marshall and Col. VIM. r. Morrison, are
his warmest advocates, and are laboring
with great industry in his behalf.

THE DEVILS ELBOwC CUTOFF.

II the government would employ Capt.
James b. Eads to help the Mississippi
river, Cairo would soon be above high
water.
On last Saturday nj .ht, at point about
twenty miles above Memphis, the Missis-
sippi river made Il cutoff. just above
Island No. 81 the river put its head into
the bank and forced itself through, carry
ing with its current fences, trees and
houses, Il distance of about half a mile,
coming out in Brandy wine benl just be-
low Island No. 30. From the point at
which the cutoff commenced to its out
let, the distance, by the old bed of the
river, is about twenty miles. Thus the
river has been shortened about nineteen
miles and half.
The effect of the cutoff was to lower
the watcr-levcl several feet above it. and
TO raise the water level below. At Pecan
Point and Shawnee village the water
level was dropped several feet, and as tar
down as Memphis was raised several feet.
"The opinion Of pilots and river men
concerning the effects OF the CUT" says
the Memphis iraianche, fare varied, but
all agree that Island 30, at the lower end,
will soon be swept away, while Fogle-
mans outlets will be of no use to uayl-
cation a soon as the new cut becomes n
safe route for passing steamers. Its eff
feet farther down and along the river
front OF our city is at the present
purely conjectural. Engineers all
agree that time alone can determine this

as time will prove. Cut-ofls do not Der
mancntly raise the nood.line below them.
and therefore there will be no increased

A CONFERENCE SUGGESTED.

There has been no concert OF action in
the Democratic party of Southern Illinois
for many years. In fact, the party has
managed itself; and whatever successes
it has achieved have been the result of
combination Of accident and Republican
stupidity. This condition of the affairs
of the Democratic party of this part OF
the State should be changed. There
should be an effort made to secure har.
mony within its ranks, to consolidate the
coalition of Democrats and Liberal Re.
publicans, and to organize in thorough
manner all the elements of opposition
to Radicalism in Egypt. How can this
be done: Not by standing still
not by asking the State Central Com
mlttee to do the work tor us--but by a
prompt movement among all the Dem
Ocrats and Liberals in this part Of the
State who feel an interest in the anti
Radical movement, which now bids fair
to result in the election OF the candidate
of the st. Louis convention to the presi.
dency. With the intention of inaugural
ing such movement, we suggest that
the Democratic committee of this COLI
gressional district take the matter in hand
and act promptly
