THE WAY NOT TO WIN A VICTORY

We haveh had occasion to admire the candor
and uniform fairness of the Egyptian Press,
and have held it as one of the few news
papers with which we exchange, that is en-
tirey conscientious, whether dealing with
politics, morals or religion. We are, there
fore, surprised, even astomshed, to see it
assume that the defeat of Messrs. Gregg
and Washburn was effected in the Cairo
convention, by trickery and collision We
were in attendance on the convention,
mingled among the delegates, and certainly
had fair opportunities for information.
During the whole day we saw nothing but
an open-handed, straightforward manly
course OF conduct upon the part of the
delegates; nor did we at any time hear any
purpose avowed OF any arrangement per-
fected or limited at that might not have
been avowed and perfected in open con-
vention, without exciting opposition or
suspicion Of unfair dealing from any one.
In other words, every movement bore the
impress Of uprightncss and fair dealing.
| There was conspicuous absence of the "cut
and driedn aspect so common in dclcrate
conventions, and fthe convention had any
other aim than a desire to subserye the in.
terests and wishes Of the greater number
we confess that at no stage Of the proceed
ings did we detect it.
We must, therefore, regard the assump.
ton of the Press that anybody in the con
vention worked the wires" to defea
Gregg and Washbum that Baker might b,
elected, as wholly unfounded and a!
without the semblance of either reason O,
probability, If Mr.. Lansdcn cannot bea
Judge Baker, no man in the circuit can dc
SO. He is the abcst man on the ticket
and confessedly the ablest that was before
the convention. Although Democrat, h
is not obnoxious to Republicans; and W,
feel abundantly assured that Mr.. Bake,
would feel himself at least SEQ votes th,
stronger, could he displace Mr.. Lapsden
who is working mischief in tn
household of his friends, by either Mr.
Gregg or Mr., Washburn. With all hi
end Of the Cncuit left to Mr.. Baker alon,
the recognized need Of Judge here, woul
have rendered him 500 votes stronger tia
his ticket The candidacy of Mr.. Lansde
does what the candidacy Of neither Of I'll
TWO other gentlemen named could hay
done-it robs Mr.. Baker of that advantag,
Until the convention concluded its labor
and put Mr.. Lansden in the field, W
individually, regarded Mr.. Bakers eectio
as foregone conclusion and were candi
enough to say so. We knew that the iiy
river counties were determined to have
Circuit Judge easy Of access, and woul
fjr thlt reason, make Judge Baker man
hundred votes stronger than his ticket. W

I'll entirely safe to assume that of the
100000 that will be paid to Mr.. Hayes on
account of salary. he will carry back to
Ohio with him, not less than S1S4,O00. 1t
is not believed, indeed, that he is expend-
ing $4,000 year. He entertains nobody
gives no fetes, feasts or parties, wears
patched boots and darned stockings, uses
no wine on his table, unless it is given &c
him, and is most decidedly and essentially
ION the make" We would not have him i'm
itate the waste and criminal extravaganza,
of Grant; but the people would like TO Sc,
the white house maintained, and til,
country's guests entertained in style be
fitting the dignity and greatness Of tn
country.

SOME time since the Republican papers
Of the North raised aprelonged, dismal howl
over the removal Of Union soldiers
from their positions in the Senate. With all
their avowed love for the soldier the Repub-
licans when in control of the Senate, gave
employment to precisely five Union soldiers.
These five, viz: Burnell, Wilson, Bull,
Merit and Richards, the Democrats have
retained. Of the men discharged two
claim that they are wounded soldiers, and
it is concerning one OF these that Conkling
became SO furious. A little examination
disclosed the fact that Conkling's victim
Of copperhead ferocity, had served around
Washington two months as a musician was
never in sight Of battle, and was dis
charged because Of hernia. That's the
kind Of wounded Union soldier he was
The other fellow, Ormly, had never been in
the service at all. And thus il is that the
Democratic party pierces the rpet.knights
OF the Republican party to the very soul
through their boundess love Of the Union
soldier. So sad

dealing as to charge to the account of Cairo
Democrats the patronage bestowed by Re
publicans.
Let us see, now, what the official avaric'
iousness of Cairo Democrats amounts to-
During the past twenty-five years the De-
mocracy Of Southern Illinois has given
them-whatl An Appellate Clerkshp' a
member Of the State Board of Equalization
and-but there we must stop Not an other
morsel. Isn't that unparalleled party mu-
nifcencel Quite recently we were given one
Of the three candidates for Circuit Judge,
and still more recently a candidate for the
Supreme bench; but it will be time enough
40 count these chickens when they are
hatched" The Democracy has never given
us a State officer member OF either
branch of congress, State Senator--nor
even the nomination 10 any OF these posi-
tons. Yet Cairo's official nav Is pro-
nounced Unsuitable One gentleman, ordi-
narily very fair, runs on in this way;
Cairo has had q Circuit Judge for many
years, has Supreme Judge al this time;
has a member of the Railroad and Ware
house Commission and deputy warden at
the Chester penitentiary,' etc. Now
when we remark that this is simply and
solely recitation of Republican munif-
cence, the absurdity of charging it up TO
the account of Cairo Democrats, is palpable
TO every one. Cairo has one of the three
candidates for Circuit Judge, and where
is the man who will not admit, that she is
by every consideration that should con-
troll in the distribution Of party fayors,
fully entitled to il. She has candidate
for Supreme Judge; but this is so, because
more than two-thirds Of the leading Demo
Gratis that were delegated with power Il
choose such q candidate, declared that sht
presented the ablest and the best man tina
was offered for the position. Charge thes
birds 70 Cairo Democrats when they are il
hand, and even then every town of this dis
trict, containing over one thousand voter:
can be as justly charged with official aval
iciousness as can Cairo We are willin!
to own up to all that we have received froI
the party; but to charge Republican mum
ticence TO our account, and 10 charge, 6
cash in hand that which is nothing moi
than promissory paper, ranging from goo
TO doubtful, is 'piling it on a little tC
thick" and that IS our excuse for this gel

MEMPHIS THEATER.-The swarthy
and tragic 0thello never had a better
Interpretation than was given by John
Mccullough at the Memphis Theater
last night. From the rising of the
curtain, where the crafty "Iago' and
his dupe, "ROderigo, appears in the
night time at the front Of Senator
BFabantio's' palace to inform him
that his daughter, "DesdemOna, had
eloped with the Moorish general, on to
the end of the tragedy, where the fair
and innocent "Dssdemona'' is smoth-
cred by her jealous liege lord and him
self dies by his own hand, the audi
enee was held in constant and earn
est attention by the splendid
acting of Mccullough and his sup
porting company. At the close of the
third act the great tragedian was so
effective that he elected rounds of
applause, and was obliged to appear in
front of the curtain in response to the
compliment. In addition to his fine
acting the splendOr of his costumes
was a subject Of remark. A finer
illustration Of the character has never
been given in this city. Mr.. Charles
Barron was also effective as " Iago."
performing the part with skill and
accuracy. He was especially fine
in the wassail scene, giving the
drinking songs in a musical man
ner and exhibiting a we'll trained
v~Oice.under full control In the com.
bat scene at the close of the fourth
act where Casio and "Roderigo'
carve each other with their swords
and "IagO" stabs each one from the
rear in the dark, he acted with marked
ability and was called before the cur
tain in response to the earnest plaud-
its. Miss Emma StOckman (Mrs.
John w. Norton) made an excellent
"Desdemona, performing the part
with unusual grace and exhibiting fine
ability. Miss NJ. A. Foster did the
part Of Emelie, wife Of "Iago," very
neatly, while John A. Lane could not
have been improved upon as
Casio All the characters Of
the play we're handsomely sus-
tanned. A portion Of the freshly
painted scenery was a conspicuous
feature Of the evening 5 entertainment.
and c~ontrasted rather oddly with the
musty and dingy pictures 50 long used
in our theater. The audience was
only moderate in numbers, and net as
large as the merits Of the company
deserved.
Tonight Yirgnius, or the Roman
Father, and the farce Of A Regular
Fix will be presented. A tribute to
the eminent tragedian is expected to
include a part of the evenings pro-
gramme, several friends Of Mr.. Nc
CullOugh having been quietly engaged
for a day or two past IN preparing a
slight testimonial Of their apprecia-
ton.
