der so to do from the Judge of the County
Court, before whom the contests were pend
ing The question thus sprung was
brought to the attention of the court, YES.
tcrday, the Judge deciding that Mr.. Foley
was right-which opinion is coroborative of
our own, expressed when the issue was first
raised.
Our readers will recall an item in THE
BULLETIN of July 9th wherein we spoke of
4 Kentuckian being found en- the railroad
track, minus his watch and chain, worth
about 500, and something over 800 in
cash. which, il is SAID, he had won at the
Cairo races, by betting his money on the
Cairo nag The thief so obscured the
c!res that it was some time before any rca-
sonable theory could formed. Officer
sheehan being firm believer in the adage
that murder will "out" or rather that the
best laid plans, etc, aft gang aglee, ETC.,
kept constant lookout for the culprit or
culprits, and quite recently struck what he
believes to be the correct trail. IL is a re-
markably will hidden track that dSheehan
fails to discover.
We saw, yesterday, about the Illinois
Central cattle pens, moving hither and
thither, without any protection whatever
from the sun, an individual evidently of
the order "Texan" and species 'heavy
weight" He would have pulled down the
scale at 300, and he cared as little and COM
planned less of our pinety-eight in the shade,

remark, while wlping the perspiration from
his forehead, snow this is refreshing, for a
fact--its simply glorious, we concluded
that sun.strokes that couldn't muster at
least 100 degrees of vigorous heat, wouldn't
drive him even to the protection of an UNI
brella. Y
Several of the Memphis refugees that
were transferred from the steamer gaff to
the c. & V. railroad protested that the ca
pacity of the boat was so overcrowded that
a considerable per cent of the male pas
seneers were compelled TO 90 twenty-four
hours without food; that the boat had
cooking and feeding facilities for seventy
passengers, but having over six times that
number on board, the men, who had to de-
fer to the wants Of the women and children,
Jared rather scantily. The officers did all
that men could do to make matters tolera-

to strike cooler belt OF climate. They
protested that, after receiving the previous
days news from Memphis, they were not
impelled forward by any fear Of the yellow
fever. The crowd was not composed of the
bon ton of the Bluff city, by any means.
The great majority Of both men and wo-
