The murdered man.was native Of New
York, and at the time Of his death was
about 30 years old. He was bricklayer
and plasterer by trade, and as he worked in
this city, he is known to quite all Of his fell
low-tradcsmen here, and, perhaps, to many
others. Dying poor, leaving no money to
pay for the capture and prosecution Of his
murderer, the chances are that his horrible
taking-off will 60 unavenged.
The question again recurs, when and
where is this carnival Of crime to stop? Red
handed devils shoot down the citizen who
may have incurred their displeasure, and
then laugh at the impotency of the law,
and the weakness, the timidity of our courts
of justice! To-day wretcbed negro man
answers, with his life, for the crime of
murder. The good of society demands his
life, and the lives, as well, of all who have
bOckened their souls and appalled, the COM
munity, as he did, by the horrible crime of

NOT MUCH INCLINED THAT WAY.

A SUGGESTION, AND A RECITAL OF EXPERT
ENcE THAT GREATLY IMPAIRs ITS VALUE.
The formation of an old settlers club
has been suggested. While such an or
ganization might prove an efficient agent
in the collection and preservation Of local
history, olden-time relics, etc, we feel abso-
lutely assured that the club will not be
formed. A singular fatality has attended
every effort yet made by the masculine cle-
meni of Cairo to establish and maintain or
CARNATIONS akin to that suggested. The
Delta club was organized by the best peo-
pie of Cairo. The severest "hanling over
the-coals" we ever received was because we
predicted, when we saw the germs of dis
solution at work, that the club would not
last forever. But the club ''petered out,
just the same and for the expenditure Of
about thousand dollars, the members had
the memory Of a rousing big dancing party,
only. The Commercial Library associ-
alton and the old settlers
club of 1866 or Z, passed out of
existence much in the same manner. The
latter gathered in the seeds of dtsscntion at
the start by admitting, as old settlers, men
who had not lived in the county three years.
The former died gradually of accumulat
ing debts. The Reform club owes its con-
tinued existence to the TACT that it is not
dependent upon the gregariousness or the So
cial nature ofthe male population AS a
rule the masculine portion of our popula-
ton care but little for the attractions of So
cial life. The young men are light-hearted
and socially inclined; but as soon as they
become ehtangled in the meshes OF matri-
mony, like the older people they become
subjected to a species of cynicism that rem
ders them selfish and exclusive. OF course
there are exceptions, but these exceptions
are not sufficiently numerous 10 render.any
exclusively social organization among the
men, success. Hence, if formed, an old
settlers club would soon go under"
