tile matter is of no moment to us. We
merely refer to the matter as an item Of To-
cal news, and beg to assure everybody that

clearing.up fellows obtain the mastery or
the cuttercrs-up become cocks of the side
walk. It's all one to the BULLETIN.

nedy, but the printer would have it that it

Cairo Sun, knew he was lying when he
penned that paragraph; but feeling little
