sister and aunt beat him like a dog, sur.
passes belief. His condition ought to dis
arm the blackcst-hearted fend that ever
lived on earth And now as Charley Bailey
Is IN Cairo, and is likely to remain here
what shall be done with mm2 He ought
TO be removed from the streets, at all
events.
"A colored damsel named Lizzie Lane,
alias Carlisle, alias Henry came into Cairo
from point near Mound City on Wedncs-
day last, with basket of blackberries.
Her folks expected her to return the same
evening; but she failed to put IN an APP
pearance. Thursday and Friday passed
and still no Lizzie Lane made her appear
ance to allay the anxiety of her relatives.
Yesterday we saw her uncle in the city
searching for her He Is gray-haired
mulatto man of very respectable appearance
and more than ordinary intelligence; and
was much distressed at his neice's contin-
ued absence, his greatest fear being the
probability that she had taken quarters in
one Of the Cairo brothels. After two
hours search he failed to find the girl, and
probably returned home no wiser, in that
regard, than he came.
1t had been determined to remove Dr.
AFTER TO his farm at Villa Ridge, as soon as
needful arrangements could be made. But,
strangely enough, on Thursday evening
last, he insisted that his removal should be
effected the next day, Friday He would
not listen patiently to suggestions that
argued for delay. He had fixed his heart
on going Up Friday; and had his physical
organism been in condition to respond to
what seemed the earnest desire of his heart,
he would have been passenger on the
same train that carried up the dead body
OF his murdered son, of whose death he has
not yet been apprised, II was one OF those
strange happenings upon which the faith IN
premomuons is built-an occurrence in
which reason had no part. but which is
most difficult to account for if the idea Of
reason is discarded
-Paducah has quaranhned against all
steamboats, that come from points below
Cairo On Friday evening last, the Golden
City rounded in to the wharf; but police
man present notified the Captain not to
land. He disregarded the order, and made
his landing in spite Of the quarantine. The
policeman, after a scutlle, arrested the Cap
tain, and the City Judge fined him S1j,
which was right. 1t may be true, as the
Captain said, that he left New Orleans after
the outbreak Of the fever there; had landed
at Cairo and received a certificate from the
National Board Of Health; but the quaran-
tine excluded his boat because she came
from below Cairo, and what HE knew about
the cleanliness Of his boat, cut no figure in
the case whatever. Boats that thus defy
quarantine regulations and land in spite of
orders not to do 50, should be confscated
"bodaciously'
We hear it stated that petition will
be circulated asking Gov Cullom to COM
mute Charley Glass sentence from hanging
TO Imprisonment for life II was a most
shocking and cowardly murder that Glass
committed; but there was, to such a man
as Glass, great provocation. The murdered |
man had come to Glass house, excited his |
Jealousy, estranged the affections and finally |
captured the body Of his woman from him
gave him a whipping or two in his own
house and then declared purpose to drive
him Oft altogether Thus, while it cannot
be denied that Glass deed was most
bloody and alocious one, the provocation
was undoubtedly strong. No man in Glass
plane Of life would have tamely submitted
to such an avalanche Of insults and out.
RACES, although but few might have carried
their resentment as far as Glass did; and
even Glass declares that, before entering the
room he had no purpose to kill Newman.
Taking our eyes, then, off the crushed head
Of the victim and looking at the great ag-
CARNATIONS and insults to which Glass was
subjected, VIC can but feel that the case is
one that calls for executive clemency, to
the extent Of committing the sentence to
Imprisonment for life.
