An amusing incident Of our late
city election was the persistent and I'M
compromising effort OF Charlie McGill,
a ten year old attache OF st. Mary's in
\ Urinary, to cast his first vote. lie had
formed favorable opinion of Democ-
| racy from the glmpses lie had caught of
Its physiognomy In the marine and city
wards of the hospital, and imbibed more
than his share Of election excitement.
Marching boldly to the court house, he
demanded a Democratic ticket, and insis-
ted, against much opposition, that his
vote be recorded. The obstacles suggest
ed to the youth served only to increase
his zeal in the Democratic cause. A
compromise was at last affected, by
pretended compliance with his wishes,
and he went awav rejoicing, and fully
inees.

The regular weekly sale OF tobacco
at the Farmers warehouse will take
place to-day, Thursday, at halt past ten
O'Clock. The sale will be the largest OF
the season, between seventy-tive and one
hundred hogsheads having already ar
rived. 1t is duty the merchants and
business men OF Cairo owe to themselves
| to attend these sales, and to do all
| in their power to build up the tobacco
market here. The opening of the tobac-
CO market in Cairo was the beginning OF
new era in the business OF the city.
There is not dry goods dealer, grocer,
clothier or hotel keeper in the city who
has not been directly benefited through
the tobacco market. The weekly sales
draw to the city great numbers OF coun-
try people from the adj
jacent states of Kentucky
and Missouri, and nearly all of them
spend more or less money with our mer-
chants, grocerymen and hotels. The
Cairo tobacco market should be sus-
tanned, and our business men and citi-
zens generally should not hesitate to lend
q helping hand when needed.
Maj. Morrill,, of the Cairo and Vim
cennes railroad has rendered his resgna
ton as superintendent OF that road, to
take effect on Tuesday next, May lst.,
and Mr.. Roswell Miller has been appoint
ed to supercede him in the management
of the road. Maj. Morrill, has had charge
OF the Cairo and Nincennes road for
about three years. lie took hold OF
it at time when its affairs
were in anything but favorable condi.
tion-its previous management having
been inefficient, loose and carelessly
conducted, and the road had run down to
such point that had not change taken
place when it did, it would undoubtedly
have been compelled to quit business.
But Maj. Morrill, threw all his energies
into the management OF the road, and in
a very short time in a great measure
regained what it had lost under the pre-
vious management /; anu now, at his
retirement, after three years at the head
of the road, he has the satisfaction
of knowing that the traffic OF the road
has been increased to such an extent
that it is now doing a business that will
all things considered, compare favorably
with any other road in the state. Per.
sonally Maj Morrill, has many warm
friends in Cairo who will regret his de
, parture from the city. MIR. Miller. VIII,
i succeeds Maj. Morrill, in the management
of the road has had many years expert
ence in the railroad business, an,
having been connected with the Cair
aud Vincennes railroad for several years
understands its affairs perfectly. Tn
der his management the road will tax
