'J'iiiz-n" GIVE Some Advice TO our
County Officials,
CAIRO, Ills, Oct. 10, 1877.
70 the Editor the BULLETIN
In reading over copy OF the BULLETIN
of some weeks ago, notice that our
vigilant county attorney succeeded at the
late term OF the circuit court in sending
seven desperate criminals to the pcniten-
tiary. For this he deserves the thanks
OF the entire community tor Kidding it OF
such dcsperadoes as Henry Wilson,
James Ilerin, Jas. johnson and VIII
lam johnson, all colored, who 'go up
for five years each for robbing colored
boy OF three dollars and fifty cents
As court has now adjourned desire to
call the attention of the county attorney
to the fact that there have bten about
THIRTEEN MURDERS
committed In this city and county during
the last two or three years, and that of all
the murderers only one has been punished.
Before | 90 further wish 1t to be under
stood that do not claim that the county
attorney is to blame because these MUIR
derers have not beenpunished. My only
desire Is to call his attention to these
matters, in the hope that he will be all
the more vigilant in his energy
to see that so long as he is in office that
murderers shall not escape punishment.
There is q rich field open for young
aspirant for fame in the legal arena and
flour county attorney will exert himself
to bring these murderers to justice he
will merit and surely receive the sup.
port of all good citizens.
For the sake OF our good name
abroad, if for no higher consideration,
let us not degenerate further until We
finally reach the level of the Bashi-
Bazouk. IT tour negroes are sent to the
penitentiary for five years each tor steal
ing $3.50, let us see to It that the man who
deliberately murders another shall be in
dicted and punished. Let the officers OF
the law wake up to the Importance Of
this matter, and my word Tor 1t they will
receive the support and thanks OF every
well-wisher OF the city and county.

set about to iad an owner tor the COW.
Yesterday Mr.. Mansfield. living in or
