If Democrats who affect the belief
that that portion of the Republican party
that finds habitatiOn in Cairo, is disrupted,
would learn their mistake, let them noml-
nate Democratic city ticket The colorcd
voters, who now avow such deep-scatcd re-
scntncnt-who threaten dire retribution
for long suffered neglect would all walk
up to the Republican rack, vote an un-
scratched Republican ticket, and manifest
the same old disposition to lift the scalp Of
every colorcd man In the city, who might
decline to 60 and do the same likewise
The arrangement of the coorcd voters
isn't skin deep; and the Democrat who
banks on any other conclusion is doomed
to disappointment.
The Centralia scandal is exciting CON
siderable attention. The story came to our
ears last Monday; but hoping that it was
at least greatly exaggerated, we made no
mention Of it. 1t seems, however, that
much of what was then mere conjecture
has become ugly, damaging facts. The
name Of the cchcrous music teachers said
to be Morse, and the number Of Young la
dies ruined by him, is stated at iiye-one Of
which has given birth to twins. The girls
belong to the humber walks Of
life. and two of them are said to bc without
natural protectors. But these facts but add to
the turptudc Of the gray-haircd lcchcrous
devils doings. If, among the relatives of
these poor deceived and deeply wronged
girls, arc any men Of spirit-men worthy of
the name Of men, they will hound the black
hearted monster upon whom the ruin Of the
girls is charged until they render him inca
pablo Of further mischief. In view of such
guilt as his the law is impotcnt. The pro-
per punishment suggests itself, and il ought
to be inflicted.
f NJ. Ward, the coal and wood man,
filings his banner to the breeze inscribed
II. VI. Ward for City Treasurer If il were
not the usual way Of doing things We might
pass Mr.. Wards announcement without
further notice, for it is quite impossible for
TIE BULLETIN to tell the people anything
about Ward they do not know already.
He is clever, good-hcartcd man, who has
many friends and few enemies; and as his
life is devoted TO the work of keeping peo-
pie warm in the winter and cool in the sum
mcr, we may class him with the public
bencfactors. But like many other hard
working men, Ward is poor, and runs for
the Office, not because of the distinction it
confers, but for the dollars and cents. The
salary, though comparatively small, will be
great help to HIM. This consideration
aud the fact that they believe him to be Il
deserving man and useful citizen, will
bring to his support large number Of our
citizens, black as well as white. 1t can be
put down, tor the ballots will verify it, that
Ward will prove formidable candidate,
The remark of General Chalmers on
the floor of Congress, last Friday that a
vessel full Of yellow fever patients, direct
from Rio ,Ianicro, had arrived at New Or
leans, must be taken with many grains Of
allowance. The discussion had turned up
: on the question of establishing national
, quarantine, and the General knowing the
l impetus that fear gives to action, shaped
% his argument to fit the seeming necessities
r of the occasion, But yellow fever in New
G Orleans or no yellow fever there the duty
= of the Cairo authorities and Cairo people,
l is plain and unQucstionabc, 1t is to
d clean up the city--not to clean up the front
S yards and leave the back yards untouched
I not to clean up the out-houscS and leave
z the cellars or the foundation enclosures OF
buildings rccking in mould, filth and
@ dampncss-not to do this; but to put the
V entire city in the BEST POSSIBLE SANITARY
Il CONDITION. This done, and a reasonably
n rigid quarantine maintained, it is our hon.
n est conviction that the yellow fever, let it
4 dcvastate the South rs it may, need have no
o tcrrors for the people OF Cairo.
