crn Illinois. His partner in business is
Mr.. William Wolf, also from this city, who
years ago sold goods for William Lyon.
Mr., VOLTS mother and one sister are now

of these enterprising gentlemen will be
glad to learn OF their continued prosperity"
-Telegrapher Kent is our authority for
saying that.a telephone exchange can be
secured in Cairo, if as many as twenty-five
patrons can be obtained. There would be
central Office to which all the wires would
converge, so that any patron might be
thrown in connection with any other patron,
by making known his wishes to the party
in charge at the Office. The mills might be
connected with the post Office; the banks
with the homes Of their officers, and every
member of the exchange" would have the
use of every other members telephone, for
the purposeses of "talk." The cost per
month would depend upon the lenghth of
the wire. AS an approximation, Mr.. Kent
informed us that half mile wire
would cost say, 81, three-quarter mile
wire IS, and about 81 for each additional
quarter of 4 mile. 1t seems to us that
twenty-five subscribers to such an arrange
ment might be obtained, with very little eff
fort. 1t would certainly save an immense
amount of hustling about, and would prove
serviceable in thousand ways.
The petition circulated in Glass behalf
sets forth that an important witness Tone
who saw Carter thresh Glass, about the wo-
man was not present at the trial; and 1t
further says that, because of Glass poverty,
he was unable to secure able and expert.
enced counsel. The friends of the doomed
man ought to make better showing than
that. The character Of the attorneys will
have but little weight The Governor will
consider the facts that went to the jury, and
if any facts favorable 10 Glass have been
discovered since the trial, affidayits setting
them forth, should be obtained and placed
in the Governors hands. Under the i'm
preston that there was plenty Of time"
the parties interested in the procurement of
a communication, deferred action until the
interval for work had been narrowed down
to a few days There is no time now to de-
vote to the taking Of the atidavitS even if
the whereabouts of the witnesses were
known, and the alleged facts could be
proven. The Governor will require more
than the mere statement that certain facts
favorable to the prisoner, were not given to
the jury He must know what those facts
are, and must further know that they are
true 1t is one OF those cases wherein
gushes of sympathy, and superficial geaer
alities will cut no figure whatever. Moth
ing but stern, naked facts, tried by the
measure of the law, will determine the
matter for Glass or against him.
