Mr.. Dewey, who spent several weeks
In New Orleans on bushes for the firm of
Hardin & Dewey, returned to Cairo on
Friday night. MIR. Dewey says there is
very little excitment in New Orleans over
the contested governorship; and that
there was more excitement in Cairo over
the municipal election than in New Or

There is considerable speculation as
to who will be Mayor Winters new
chief of police. Some of the knowing
ones-or those who profess to be the
knowing ones, say Charles AFTER is the
coming man. while others assert that his
honor will continue the pres.
ent Chief in office. MIR.
Gossman has made good and
faithful officer, and: MayorWinter would
act wisely If he should re-appoint him.
Henry Stout has also been mentioned in
connection with the police force. We
suspect, however, that there are very
few people in the city who know any
thing about what Mayor Winter intends
to do In the premises, and all talk is
mere speculation.
AT meeting OF the Cairo Turner'S,
Society, Of which body the late Gustav
Buder was member, the following res
olutions were adopted:

Buder has peacefully died:

ISOLATION in every respect;
Resolved, That we tender our kndest
sympathy to the family of our des eased
brother, whom he has labored SO long,
patiently and diligently to protect fro IN
the cold world;
Resolced, That copies Of the above res
olutions be published in The city pap ers.
and copy be sent TO the family OF the
Diseased. Also that the same be
spread upon the minutes OF this society.

We have received copy Of the
Port Huron (Michigan) Times, contain
ing an account Of the opening OF the
new custom house at that place. The
article pays high compliment to our
former fellow-citizen, Mr.. Geo. ii. Sease :,
who has had charge ot.the work of con-
structing the building. The Times SAYS :
THE expressions OF admiration and sat.
isfaction on the part Of those visiting the
building on Saturday were universal.
The work throughout has been honestly,
thoroughly,an economically Gone; moth
ing has been sighted or neglected, and
the building will stand for centuries as a
monument OF good Workmanship.
For this all praise is due to Mr.. Geo. Il.
Sease, the efficient superintendent, who
has given to every detail OF the work his
personal attention, and whose ability and
efficiency are not surpassed, we believe,
by any builder in the employ of the gov
eminent. We trust that he will not be
sent elsewhere until the completion of
the work outside the building"
