Much complaint sui e~AS'S w.
but the past two or three days have reveal

ple know that the scourge can be kept out
Of Cairo, and had the quarantine been Of a
character to inspire confidence, we should
have felt but little excitement.
"A correspondent OF the Chicago Times
describes the murder of Carter Newman, at
the hands of Charley Glass, as follows:
"a few steps brought him to Newman's
bedside, and in few seconds more the
poll of the axe crushed through the sleep
ing mans skull, and buried itself midway
between the eyes, in his brain" What's
to be done now, with all those fellows who
swore that the axe was buried in the back

The work of sanitation moves along most
sluggishly, although we are meaning the list
day Of August. The cleaning out of foul
sewers and cess pools under burning July
sun is OF very doubtful propriety. To dis
infect with lime, coal tar or copperas, is
always in order. But if anything in this
way has been done, we should like to
know when and where9 1t is certainly not
visible to the naked eye.

tain their position by argument, but
thought the end and aim of the law would
be accomplished by putting the accused
out of the way for life. The colored man
yielded first, and the white man in about
half an hour afterwards. AT the end Of
about two hours the jury returned into
court with verdict of guilty.
Two or three of our BARRIERS complain
that the cut down in prices has operated
most disastrously on the business. 1t has
failed to increase the number of customers,
they say, and has had no other effect than
to lessen the income about one.third. They
all agree, however, that if kept busy, they
could make money even at the reduced
rates. But, as they work less than one-half
their actual time, themoney on hand at the
end of the week is not enough to cover or
binary out-goes. Hence the conclusion has
been formed that if the number of Cairo
BARRIERS is not lessened soon by emigration
it will be lessened by failures.
Mayor Thistlewood has issued his
proclamation warning all persons, whether
in the management of railroads or steam
boats, or otherwise, that they will be rigor-
ously prosecuted for the violation Of any of
the sanitary laws Of the State of Illinois,
of the ordinances OF the city Of Cairo or Of
the rules and regulations of the Cairo
Board of Health There is manifest de-
termination to keep Memphis refugees out
of the city, and as our city is now well pro-
tected, persons who may bring such refu-
gees into the city can scarcely escape de-
lection. Refugees found within the cor
poration will be sent out
All the spare beds, spare rooms and
Accommodations Of all the farmers houses
along the line Of all three OF our Illinois
railroads, have beoen hired, conditionally
by Cairo people. AT the first intimation of
fever in Memphis number Of our citizens,
wrote or went in person up the Narrow
gauge, Cairo and Vincennes and Illinois
Central, some to the distance Of thirty
miles, to engage quarters to occupy, should
the yellow fever break out in Cairo. And
in doing this they betrayed good sense and
prudent forethought. Nothing tends more
to allay excitement and anxiety than the
knowledge these persons have that when
occasion may require getting out of town,
they have comfortable quarters 10 which
they can repair at pleasure. BY the ex-
ercise Of such prudent forethought all &C.
casion for panic, hurry, uncertainty and
confusion, are provided against.
