Rink, tomorrow evening,
Mr.. II. n. Weton, the "artist tailor"
was engaged yesterday evening taking leave
of his Cairo friends, intending to leave by
the midnight train for Chicago where he
will hereafter reside,
The colored vote, yesterday, was fully
$50 votes heavier than ever before, There
were no stay-at-homes among the colored
sovereigns. Every man went to the polls
and fully half of them stayed there.
The work of substituting new ties un-
der the rails of the Cairo & Vinccnnes rail
road, will be carried forward until
Thirteenth street is reached. Beyond that
point new ties were laid about year ago
Considerable solicitude was felt for
the safety of the excursionists who lett for
Metropolis Monday afternoon, on the tug
Ariadne. The fierce wind storm that arose
in the evening rendered the trip decid'
eddy perious.
The contest for adermanic honors,
yesterday, was unusually active, especially
in the first and third wards. The oppos-
ing candidates had their friends at work
and very decided warmth of feeling was
manifested all day notably so up to
o'clock in the afternoon.
Our correspondents will please remem-
| Der that we do not undertake TO return re-
jected manuscripts. If any such manu-
script is preserved during period OF twen-

ing, and not of purpose. Manuscript used
and unused is disposed of daily.
The conclusion created by the report
of the cannon fired near the Atheneum
cracked the glass in quite number of the
neighboring doors and windows, The at
mosphere being very heavy the conclusion
was exceedingly severe within circuit OF
a hundred yards or more.
Late Monday night an intoxicated in
divldual was found lying on Eighth street
hatless, coatlcss and very drunk. His
pockets had been pulled wrong side out
which was accepted as an intimation that
somebody had gone through him." His
friends took him in charge and bedded
him for the balance of the night
The Metropolis excursonists speak in
enthusiastic term, of the courtesy and
warmhearted hospitality shown them by the
Metropolis people with whom they were
thrown in contact Monday evening. Bar
ring the dangers andunphasantnesscs Of the
the trip up and back, the affair was quite
all that could have been desired.
AT the hour of sevon o'clock yesterday
evening, the saloons were thrown open; and
scores Of men, as moved by feeling of re-
sentiment, for being deprived of drink dur
ing the day, rushed in and drank often and
heavily, maniicstly determined to make up
for lost time. By nine o'clock men could
be met in all parts of the city, more or less
eXhilerated by strong drink, and an hour
later, not few were helped to their homes,
indisputably drunk.
"A little girl, aged about SIX years, and
a boy about year younger, were standing
by the post Office steps, yesterday afternoon,
the dirtiest faced youngsters we had seen in
many day. The boys face was complete
ly masked by molasses, bread-crumbs and
dirt The little girls face was an exact
counterpart Of tie boys except in the mat
ter of swipe across the mouth that dis
closed patches of flesh on either cheek
the work, no doubt, of the dress sleeve. As
the little boy was in the act of ascending
the steps, the little girl cried out, in voice
that attracted general attention; "Why,
JOHNNY; you mustn't 60 into the post orfice
with such dirty face as that, Lemme go'
And 90 she did, with confidence in her en-
tirey presentable condition that nothing
short Of looking lass could have shaken.
About four o'clock yesterday afternoon
officer Axley assisted by the jailor, cngin-
eercd drunken man to the calaboose.
While we noticed quite number Of
sovriegns, both white and black, who were
visbly affected by liquor, the man above
referred to was the only climber drunk"
case we saw from morning until evening.
This was so because the many who are
given to over.indu lgence in the ardent,
could not obtain supplies. The saloon
keepers maintained their troth with the
Marshal faithfully; and not only locked up
their saloons, but absented themselves dur.
ing the whole day. To this fact are we in.
debted for an unusually pcaceable election.
Considerable feeling was maintained, but
as everybody was in his sober senses, the
feeling was not permitted to exhibit itself
