In Alexander county, in fact in this
district and state, the Greenbackers have
lost their footing, and, the impression has
prevailed that these festive beings had
about eliminated from the politics of the
nation. 1t seems, however, that few of
them are yet to be found in Maine and
Michigan, where the Democrats are trying
ing TO effect coalition with them for the
purpose of defeating the election of the
Republican presidential electors next fall.
Such coalitions, however, generally turn
out disastrously. The day of Greenback-
ism is about over. There is nothing left of
them but tew-but few questionable
dam sells.
Mr.. Casper Yost, one of our census
enumerators, informs US the work of taking
the census of Cairo will be two weeks
job. The taking of the census, is slow
job, but what makes it especially tedious is
the fact that the law requires that the
enumerators report shall show where the
parents of all our citizens were born. The
enumeration, of course calls at the resi-
dences OF our citizens, land nine times out of
ten ends only the wife at home-the hus-
band being absent on business. As gen.
eral thing the wife is ignorant as 10 where
the parents of her husband were born, and
he is thereby forced to make second call
at the house after the wife has ascertained
the desired information.
A dsgraceful scene occurred in

took the stand aud testified. 1t
appears that, in giving bis
testimony, Officer Schuckers said
something that was damaging to the
and thereupon the city attor-
ney accused his brother of having drawn
the damaging statement from the officer
without authority. This George Hendricks
denied IN language more positive than ele-

Squire had called them to order, out hav-
ing paid no attention te him, he now asked
Officers Shuckers and bunker, who were
present, TO arrest them. In this manner
quiet was restored which, however, only
lasted until the case before the court was
disposed Of, after which the two brothers
resumed their high words on the sidewalk
in front OF the Office, and being there per-
mitted to have their say, soon cooled down.
The disciples of the humane Bergh
might find employment in enquiring into
the condition and treatment of the horses
and mules employed on our streets these
hot days. The close observer would be led
to believe that some Of our teamsters, IN
the intensity of their efforts to make money
forget that the brute creation has some
claims on the tender mercies
of man. One sometimes sees
animals, that are evidently
underfed, drawing overloaded wagons.
Nor does age command the respect that Is
due to them. Some teamsters keep at
work horses that are only one removed from
the boneyard. 1t is unreasonable to cal
culate on more than a limited endurance
on the rough service which dray horse
has to perform; and, after the limit has
