PENNSYLVANIA, and as he must before this

aspirations for 1880, he probably goes there

The expected coming of Kcarney to this
city was preceded on Friday by the first ser
ious disturbance among laboring men that
We have ever known here. 1t was prompt
ly suppressed and ample arrangements
have been made to preserve the peace in
future.
Some parties in St. Louis expressed late
" their dissatisfaction at the manner in
which the government money last paid to
Capt Eads for his jetty Improvements at
the mouth of the Mississippi river was
distributed. Capt. Eads publishes card
showing that his disposition of the money
received the approval Of the owners of more
than siy-sevenths of the stock of the
company furnishing the capital for the
work. In my letter of last week | gave the
| captains statement of what had been
accomplished in the improvement of the
river, and am sure your readers will be glad
TO know that such great results are not
accomplished by the frauds and irregulari-
ties so often seen in the expenditure Of
! government money.
The working of the Pension law enacted
at the last session of congress is shown by
a falling off of nearly three-fourths in the
number of pension claims filed, 1t was
perhaps an honest effort to protect the
government, but there seems to be no doubt
that congress made great mistake in its
methods. At any rate an examination into
the subject and into the influences which
brought about the Legislation. will be
proper at an early day after congress
meets. If the act was the working of an
administration which proposes to appeal tc
the Grand Amy Of the Republic for a
support which is refused it by all political
parties, the Grand Army Of the Republic
should understand the fact. Hilton.

FLATTERISG PROSPECTS or THE DEMOCRACY
IL THE FALL MISUNDERSTANDING
POLITICAL GOSSIP -KEARSEY-CAPTAIS
EADs AND HIS vIADtCTs.
WASHINGTON, July 81, lS7S.-Advices
from nearly all quarters are to the effect that
Democrats will hold theirown in the election
of representatives this fall, and in some
states will increase their number. The
large campaign fund, drawn from Office
holders under a system of civil service re-
form which was designed to prevent con-
tributious to such fund, has not so far had Il
noticeable effect upon the prospects of our
Republican friends. The outrage mill in
this city no longer produces its grist Of hor-
rors, to be distributed over the south and
sent north as a genuine product of southern
soil. There is hopeless antagonism between
the administration and Radical leaders in
various states. Information received here
is that all of these things, AS well as the
state of affairs in Louisiana as shown by the
Potter committee TO have existed for years
past under Radical rule, are damaging the
prospects Of the Radical party in its fight
for control Of the next House. The posses
sion Of both Houses by the Democracy is an
assurance of good government, whatever
follics the administration may attempt.
Gen Ben Butler, perhaps the most loose
footed political tramp of the period, has had

who was born in that state, and Cameron,
who stole it, should join Butler in his Jour

we should have Of the party of great moral

by strong argument from the Republican
party. A good many of the people, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, promised to give
Houpt vote or two each, and he is satisfied
that the Nationals will all plump for him
with hearty good will. Houpt believes
that he, Halliday and a Republican will be

THE Jonesboro Gazette compliments THE
DAILY BULLETIN hy calling it tirst-class
paper that should be patronized by all who
wish to sustain good paper in Southern
Illinois. We are aware of the defects Of
THE DAILY BULLETIN, but we do not hesitate
to say that it will compare not unfavorably
with daily papers published in any of the
small cities of the West. And we may add,
that it is better daily than is published in
any city of the same number and kind OF
inhabitants. OF our ten thousand people,
about three thousand are negroes, and OF
the remaining seven thousand there are not
over eight hundred heads of families. OF
these about five hundred are Democrats and
about three hundred of these patronize THE
BULLETIN. The additional support we re-
ceive is from young Democrats, young and
old Republicans and intelligent colored
men. But while we thus speak modestly OF
our daily, we boast with great confidence
that THE WEEKLY BULLETIN is the best
weekly in the State of Illinois And call
ing this fact to the attention of our Demo-
cratic friends We insist that they should
patronize us-should extend the circulation
of THE WEEKLY BULLETIN until We have
on our subscription list the names of not
less than 10000 Democrats. This is sug-
gestion the Democratic Central Committee
of this district should consider. That COM
mittee can help the Democratic cause by in
ducing Democrats and Republicans to read
THE WEEKLY BULLETIN.

THE colored Republican stumper, Judge
Bird, has put on his war paint and is
raging about the country like Comanche
Indian. He is particularly ferocious when
ever he speaks about Judge Allen, the
Democratic candidate for Congress. Judge
Allen should induce Charles Nelson, the
colored Democratic orator of Springfield, to
come down into Egypt, and then let him
loose on Bird.
