should provide itself with loaded revolt

1T is only fair to say of Mr. Doering,
Of whom we spoke yesterday, that he is re-
garded by his neighbors as quiet, upright
! and inoffensive citizen, and that he was
moved to violence by an aggravation that
almost any citizen would have resented
| He attends strictly to his own business, is a
frst-class barber, and tries to live on good
terms with everybody.
The first case that will be put upon
trial this morning is that Of the people
against the stranger, John Hogan, who
about three months ago made violent as
sault with deadly weapon upon negro
man, in front of John Sackburgers. Should
the accused be acquitted it cannot be said
that his offence remains unpublished, as he
has been in a close prison ever since last
winter.
We received a very pleasant call, yes
terday, from Rev. E. c. II. Willoughby, of
the Pinckneyville Democrat. Mr.. W. is a
| gentleman somewhat advanced in years,
but most genial and companionable withal,
and has advanced ideas as to how to
run a weekly newspaper. The Democrat,
under his management, has become an
excellent local paper, and an able spokes
man for the Egyptian Democracy.
One of our newly acquired citizens who
is much given to wild and indecorous ways
concluded that the speech he had in him
was too big to hold any longer, and taking
| position near the corner of Eighth and
Commercial, yesterday morning, he COM
menced unloading himself AS the tone,
sentiment and accompanying gestures were
held as obnoxious, he was promptly ar
rested and his trial came off in the evening.
By the ruling of the Attorney General
Devens Captain Eads is not only bound to
: produce the agreed depth of water the
length of his ictties; but above and below
them. Just where the limit is to be fixed is
not stated; but the decision seems to hint
at the idea that the jetties will be held re-
sponsible for all the changes of the river
: from its mouth to New Orlevns. 1t may,
however, be restricted to the ends of the
jettes.
Some of our Republican friends think
it great outrage that Messrs. Gregg and
Davidge were defeated in the Democratic
d convention. 1t is nothing to them that
Clark and Doughterty were defeated in the
Republican caucus; but Democrats ought
to rise en- mass and resent The defeat of
: Gregg and Davidge. The Democrat who is
. moved to any other feeling than that Of con-
: tempt and disgust for such transparent tao
. tics ought to be bored for the simples
Henry Stevens, the individual who eff.
fected burglarious entrance into Mr.
Fishers residence, some time ago, and car
, ried of goodly portion Of the contents of
the larder was arraigned yesterday and put
to plead. Pleading not guilty he threw
| himself upon the country, and the "coun-
try" as representedin the jury, having heard
the evidence, gave Henry one year IN the
penitentiary. He will doubtless be SEN
fenced and sent up with the balance.
Charles Reed and Ernest Chase tn C
the colored men who were sent Up for a
miscellaneous assortment Of larcenies, viz.
the stealing Of tobacco from Korsmeyer, a
ham from Kluge; butter from somebody
else, boots and shoes from Goldstinc and
Rosenwater, etc, were put upon trial yes
terday; but, while there seemed to be
prevailing conviction that the men were
guilty, the evidence didn't say So After q
l retirement Of twenty minutes the Jury
brought in verdict of not guilty.
; Will our lugubrious friend of the Cairo
Sun please name those positions Of honor
= and trust to which in other days the Repub-
lican party elevated the Hon. John NJ.
Lansdenl He was elected to the Office of
Mayor, for his first term, on the "citzcns'
. ticket" The BULLETIN, the only Democratic
: paper then in the CITY, warmly advocating
his election, For his second term he was
elected over Mr., Henry Winter, then an
avowed Republican. We have no rcccol-
!, lection Of Mr.. Lansden having been pro-
> NOTED to any other elective Office by either
C party,
Health officer Wooten desires to i'm.
