The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-05-17

oh;,dron from Cairo Delegations will be
takon on at Mound City, 0lmstcad and
other poiuts, and it is quite probable that
the temperance folks of Vienna will attend
in considerable numbers. Hence the indi-
cations are that it will be the largest party
that ever picniced in johnson county
Early yesterday morning foater was
seen lodged in the brush in the Ohio river
in front of the depot Of the Cairo and ST.
Louis railroad. The coroner was notified,
summoned jury and proceeded to an in
spection of the body. The flesh had
sloughed from the face, hands and arms,
indicating that the body had been in the
water several weeks. Nothing could be
found about his person to indicate his name
and place of residence, except fragment
ofan envelopon which was written Warren,
Harry or Harvey O.. He was dressed
as steamboat deck hands usually dress and
had in his pocket a punched labor check
and two tickets in the Missouri State lot
terry. The remains were taken in charge
by undertaken Feith, and buried at the eX'
pense Of the county.
We are pleased to receive the assur-
ance. that Judge Mulkey's competitors for
the honor of the Mount Vernon nomination
(Messrs Pollock and Buxton) have expressed
themselves satisfied with the decision of
their party, and will lend toits nominee an
earnest and effective support. We have
not the honor of a personal acquaintance
with either gentleman; but in their ability
to at once rise superior to the heartburn
ing and resentments that are inseperable
from sharp canvass before the people,
we see the manifestation of manly spirit,
and an abiding respect for the behests
of their party, that leaves no doubt in our
mind as to the genuineness OF their Democ-
racy. Neither of them won the nomina-
ton; but both of them won largely upon
the friendship Of the people-somethlng
that no man can afford to value lightly.
1t is at times like the present that the
people, especially farmers, feel most heavi-
ly the hardships growing out of the main
tainance of that fossiliZed abomination,
the jury system. Twenty-three men, fully
halt of them from their plows, will be call
ed in TO sit week or more on
that one-sded inquisition, the
grand jury, and about forty-eight men will
be taken from their different avocations to
serve a week or more on that judicial eX-
crescencc, the traverse jury. In the former
case the business could be performed In
one-tenth the time at one-fourth the cost
and with greater justice and satisfaction to
everybody, by information filed in court in
vacation or term time; and in the latter
case the mere statement of the fact that
the Judge, learned in the law, sits and
hears every word that goes to the jury, and
is clothed with power to approve or set
aside the verdicts formed, is unanswerable
proof of the uselessness of that service.
With these facts staring them squarely in
the face, sensible men, 'caught upon the
jury" have an indctcasibe right to swear.
A hundred men and women constitu-
ted the crowd at Reform club hall last
night, which, in the absence Of attractions
OF any kind, may be considered a good
turn out 1t was meeting simply, for the
transaction Of business. The few talks
that were made were extra The
treasurer reported that he had
received from all sources since July
last $3.50, and had expended $3.50.
Mr. Barclay, spokesman for DR.. Dunning,
detailed the arrangements for the picnic

second train would stop and take on way
passengers. The same rule would obtain
in returning. Not a drop Of water had
fallen in Glen Fern, and the grounds were
perfectly dry. The committee had ar
ranged for an aOundcnt supply OF refresh
ments, which were already on the grounds
The train would start at s o'clock, etc,
Captain Williams followed, and endorsed
Mr., Barclay as truthful man--hed wager
fortune and sacred honor that the state
mcnts made were true. DR.. Dunnng fell
called upon to explain that the audience
must not infer from the remarks made
that it had not rained at Gler
Fern tor six years. The vegetation
there had not parched of thirst, nor had the
creeks gone dry. Nature was at hcl
best--dry, but not crispcd." The business
