Journal, publishes an open letter to Abram
S. Hewitt, in which he says: you know
and know that Mr.. TilSen disapproved
the Electoral bill. You know, and know,
that you spent Sunday, the 14th of January,

tons sufficiently known to you; that on
Monday evening, the 18th of January, a
meeting of the committee of advisement
considered the terms of the bill hypotheti
cally submitted to it. that at that meeting
opposed them; that you were dumb as an

QUITE an interest has been awakened in
behalf of Burklow, now prisoner in the
jail of Alexander county, and who will
suffer the extreme penalty Of the law if
Governor Cullon does MOI interfere. That
Burklow does not deserve some punishment
for the crime committed by him no one
asserts; but hundreds of peoplc-two out of
every three of the people of Southern Hi
nois-will regard his execution on the gal
lows as palpable judicial murder. Of
course the judge and jury acted conscien-
tiously; but both judge and jury have, by
requesting the governor to commute the
sentence to imprisonment, admitted that
they were too severe.

THE PROPOSED COMPROMISE OF
OUR CITY DEBT.

This proposition has been made by re-
ponsible combination of monied men:
If the city of Cairo will agree to issu,
new six per cent bonds for half the princi
pal and accrued interest of her presen,
eight per cent bon DIS, we will1ake the new
and give for them the old bonds.
4 How can these men get the old bonds.
They know, probably. Certainly dis
need make no difference to us.
But, it is objected we cannot pay the
new bonds-the burden will be too great
and We might as we'll therefore repuiiate
the whole of them. This is a shameful de-
caration: and there is no sense in it We
don't pay because We can't. Very well;
but We will always be at law; will always
be at great expense; will always be defeat
ed in most of the cases will finally he COM
PEELED to pay or else give up all hope of
making Cairo more than miserable little
village peopled by regulators, stunned by
business and in every way an unfit place of
residence. But why do the repudiatoE desire
a large debt to repudiatel We wish to put
them to less trouble than they will have if
the debt is not reduced. 1t is as easy to
repudiate a small debt as a large one; but
if in an attempt to repudiate our debt the
courts should not permit US, it will be APP
parent to all that il would be easier to pay
large debt than larger one.
Indeed, we cannot understand why there
is any objection to the proposed comprom-
Use; and We shall be surprised if the voters
of Cairo defeat the For issuing the Bonds"
ticket at the election tomorrow.

GEN. LOGAN asserted in his speech at
Murphysboro that the Democrats intended
to revolutionize the government by investi-
eating the presidential rascality and put
ting Mr.. Hayes out of the presidential
office. The General knows that Mr. Hayes
obtained place by frauds that ought to
consign the rascals guilty of them to the
penitentiary; and still he insists that, even
if it should be demonstrated that President
Hayes was a party TO the rape of the high
Office he does not fill, it would be a reyolu-
tionary act to put him out. We do not be-
lieve this. If it is shown that President
Hayes was one of the men who robbed the
people of their choice for president, he
should be impcached and put out of office
in the manner prescribed by law.

CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE

through conclusion drawn by this witness,
Mr.. Butler contended that he had right
10 ascertain which of the witness two en-
tirely different stories he would give credit
to- After some further discussion, the eX-
animation was resumed and Gen. Boynton
said he never told any one that the presi-
dents failure to deny the charge led him to
deduce the inference he had drawn.
Odd you not state to somebody in
some form of words that Anderson had
some political knowledge which it was
best should not be known! Al did not
so state. | may have eft that impression.
Mr.. Butler proceeded to ask some further
questions in rather loud tone of voice,
when Gen. Boyntcr objected to his manner
of examining him, charging him with an at
tempt to bulldoe him. Said Gen. Boyn-
ton am no. used TO that sort Of thing,
and will not take it from anybody. The
other members of the committee have
treated me like gentleman, and Gen. But
Ter has acted like rowdy. Sensation.
This raised quite commotion, and the
Chairman asked Mr.. Boynton very blandly
Whetller ne nuu ever before Dcen VIII
ness, 10 which the general replied; Oh, yes;
| have.
Mr.. Butler said to Boynton that his talk
ing in so loud a voice was from considera-
tion for Boynton's hard hearing, an infrmi-
" from which both suffered.
Mr.. Boynton-I am very sorry, general.
Q-Iou have been on intimate terms
with the president for some time. Al
have not been three times at the White
House since his Inauguration, except when
sent for.
Y.--IIow often have you been sent for!
About dozen times.
Mr. Butler continued for some time to
interrogate Gen. Boynton with reference to
the latter's conversation with the president,
but no new facts were elected. Boynton
said the first he heard of the existence of
the Matthews letters and the Sherman let
ter, was from Mr.. Gibson, correspondent of
the New York Sun.
Gen. Boynton was then excused until to-
morrow, and the committee then went into
executive session, after which it adjourned
until 10: 80 am.
