workmcn, connected with all these, with
two exceptions, were in the city during the
past week, soliciting work.
The Duhcys are numerous or much in
cilncd criminal excuses. One Duilcy was
fined by Squire Comings, yesterday, on Il
charge of drunk and disordcrly; and little
later another Dutiry, John by name
and timer by trade, was brought before
Squire Osborn on charge of fighting
lie was fined 81 and the usual official
pcrquistes.
A writer in the Murphysboro Indepen-
dent speaks of his visit to Cairo, and the
pleasure he felt in forming the acquaint-
ancc of Judge Yocum, Clerks Reeve and
IIumm, and Sheriff Jack Hodges, He is
"swcct" on Iodges-dcclarc him to be
pains-taking and obliging officer and one
Of the most agreeable and companionablc
men he ever met,
The Reform club reunion was very
pleasant AFFAIR. Admitting all the ladies
free, and charging the gentlemen only one
dollar, large receipts were not anticipated,
still the result in that respect was quite sat
isiactory Something over $40, we believe,
was taken in at the door-a fact that indi-
Gates that fully one hundred couple were
present.
"A saw and grist mill, the property Of
Capt. Orsamus Grccnley, caught fire, it is
supposed from sparks that we're thrown out
of the chimney, late Friday night
and burned up. The mill was
located near Grcenlcy's landing,
in Goose Island precinct, and was a great
convenience to the nclghborhood. The
loss to Mr.. Greenley is between eight hun
dred and one thousand dollars.
The tugs Ariadne and Charmcr start
ing from the G. & V. depot, yesterday after
noon, at the same moment. made trial of
speed down to the lower wharf boat that ex-
cited much attention. The little things
made terrible commoton in the water,
and made time that would have done no
discrcdit to the average sitle-whcclcr. The
Charmer proved little the tectcr of the
two, and, We suppose, wears the horns.
The Democratic delegates appointed
yesterday were, very properly, instructed
to present the name of J NJ. Lansden 20 the
Judicial convention to be held in Cairo.
Tuesday, and do all in their power to bring
about his nomination. The convention
can scarcely fail to nominate Mr.. LanSdcn,
after careful canvass Of the whole situa-
ton II would certainly be unwiSc to
deny the lower end Of the circuit and the
largest city in the circuit, one Of the three
judges.
Health officer Wootcn caused the ar
rest Of a prominent citizen yesterday, for
maintaining nuisance ON his promises. It
sometimes occurs that Wootcn fails to
make out his case; but he does right as
usual thing in trying. He is made the
Health officer Of the city, and all
good citizens should stand by him
in his enforcement Of reasonable or
dcrs We know nothing Of the merits of
the case in hand; but are willing to assume
that there is cause for his action.
Mr.. Daniel ]. Galigan, who ran such
crcdtablc poll on the 18th ultimo, has
concluded to permit the use Of his name in
connection with the vacancy in the coun-
ell to be filled next Tuesday, fact he an
nowccs elsewhere. Dan Galigan is'a man
with whom every voter Of the ward is ac-

moral integrity, as a man Of good practical
sense, as one vino would fcarlcssly perform

1t must be painful to the really intel
ligcnt men connected with the ministry to
see 50 many obscure pulpit whitlcts and old
dunder.hcads attempting to answer Col.
Robert G, lngcrsoIl. Intellectually Ingcrsoll
is one OF the big men Of
the nation; and as a popular orator and
dealer in sarcasm and ridiculc he certainly
has few, ifany supcriors. Thismuch stands
confessed yot here and there all over the
land, little scvcn.by.ninc ministers
