special mention, and we regret that we

Justus Cunningham.


Just as we expected-the New York
chief Of police put his foot in it when
he stepped on Justus Cunningham's
corns, ard now he has got a broadside
from our attorney and counsellor at law
that will shiver his stern from the crown oil
his head to the soles of his feet. JustI,
has written him letter of three closely
written pages OF legal cap. narrating the
reasons why he asked of him the
simple favor of buying him a
bulldog revolver, and then gives him
one of the most scathing, scat
,ering, sarcastic, tearing rebukes we
ever had the pleasure OF reading. He tell /:
Superintendent Walling, Chief of Police
in New York city, how he keeps the
Central Hotel in Mound City and is very
much exposed getting up nights to admit
travellers from the trains ana steamboats,,
and that he runs daily hack from Mound
City to Cairo and his driver was knocked
down three times in Cairo lately and that's
why he wants the Bulldog revolver.
And then he upbraidS the great
Chief with his perfidy in publishing his
first note written in the spirit of gen
tleman and scholar and the sauvity OF
a most honorable profession, and then
kindly ask him to lay his letter before
the New York common council. Wal
ling won't do it. He dare not do 1t, or
that common council. generally known
as common Scoundrels" would abolish
him before he d have time to take drink.
Still, We are satisfied that Counsellor
Cunningham made mistake in not ad-
dressing Mr.. Tilden personally in regard
to the Bulldog revolver. The Counsellor
don't see things so quickly as some peo-
pie, but large bodies like great minds
move slow, and this is why the leading
lawyers of Cairo seek his learned Opin-
ions on knotty law points. Indeed, what
would Mulkey and Wheeler be without
Cunningham as reserve power! We
would have been pleased to have pub
lished this last letter, but the innate mod
esty of Justus leads him to prefer its pub
LEGATION first in the New York Times.

writing Them Up.

A gentleman. claiming to represent one
of the leading st. Louis daily papers, was
in the city on Friday, and "wrote up" sew
eral of the leading flour mills, the box
factory, and several other of the more
prominent establishments OF the city.
The work was done without the solicita-
ton of the owners OF any of the establish
ments SO written up, but the writer did
not hesitate to intimate that "small
compensation-jnst enough to deiray
expenses, you KNOW" would be accept
able. So far as heard from the pencil
shower did not succeed In bull-dozing
any OF the parties into paying him for
writing that which they never expect To
seq in print. The fellow may be oil
right. but he did not leave q favorable
impression upon the minds Of those with
whom he came in contast.

Gov. VvOOdfOrd's Address at Ok
ford,


Some time since, one Of the Literary
Societies of the State University invited
vlted Gov Stewart L. Woodford, of n,
Y, to deliver the annual oration.
The Governor accepted the invitation,
and last Wednesday delivered one Of
the best and most scholarly pieces ever
listened to in this State. Some of our
extreme papers were OF the opinion
that as Gov. Stewart L. Woodford Is a
Republican, the young gentlemen male
a mistake in selecting him to deliver the
address. The result proves that the
students were right. Governor Wood
ford captivated his hearers By his
speech, and they captured him BY their
kindness. Al this result we are de-
lighted. At the same time, almost, that
Governor Woodford delivered an adj
dress 10 Oxford, Senator SpofIord, OF
Louisiana, delivered one to the>Alumni
Of Harvard, with the most flattering ef-
feet. Tie feeling created by these
speeches is the one both sections Of the
Union should cultivate, but particularly
the South. It's ably summed up in Gov
ernor Woodford's closing sentence
God bless Mississippi; God bless my
own native State, New York, and may
God bless The Union, the common mo-
ther of US ALL
While in Oxford, Governor Wood

Hrdrophobln in Natchez.

The Democrat has the following
about this dread disease:
just nine days ago we published au item
in regard to a dog which was supposed to
have been mad, which was killed, and
stated that several other dogs had been
bitten by him before he was killed. Yes.
terday one Of the dogs which had been
bitten by him passed up several streets Of
t1e ci =, evidently rabid, and he in turn
has probably communicated the virus to
several others, as we understand several
were bitten by him. There are now quite
a number OF these animals, which 1t is
safe to say have the poison of hydrophobia
in their system. This is an alarming
condition OF affairs, aud we hope
the city authorities will at once take
al the necessary precautions to guard
against the great danger OF the spread Of
this fearful disease. All the dogs which
have been bitten should be hunted up and
killed, and no dog should be allowed to
run at large, at least without muzzle.
The communication OF the malady to a
single person In this city, would be a
greater calamity than the death Of every
dog In town. We cannot too strongly
urge upon our citizens the necessity Of ex.
treme caution, at time when hyi-opho
bia Is known to be prevailing
These facts should put our authori-
ties on their guard az once, and they
should Immediately take the proper
precautionary measures.
