The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1880-06-29

ton to our article in Sundays issue con-
corning DR.. Rauch and says that it can not
comprehend why we should "deem II neces.
sary to attack and abuse the DOCTOR" There
are not few things the Argus can not
comprehend, but while this is so, we will
wager our neighbor new hat that care
full reading of our article will reveal Moth
ing that can be construed into an "abuse"
or attack" of the doctor. 1t is true
that we published, as an item of news, the
to the doctor disagreeable fact, that
on account Of his carelessness or wilful
negligence the government had paid
storage on a hundred barrels of rosin or
sulphur for an entire year, when the stuff
should have been stored in the custom
house or aboard of the government boat at
this port and the expense Of the storage
saved by so doing. This is all we said, and
we clothed it in language that was highly
hatterng to the doctor But, says the Ar
gus: "The doctor has ever been friendly
to Cairo, etc. Is this. to be regard
ed as an excuse for the doc
tors, gross negligence above recorded Ger
tainly not. But again that journal says
"His duties and operations as sanitarian
are noiseless, etc. This is hardly true;
but admitting it for the sake of argument,
should the doctors action in the matter
above referred to be overlooked, simply be-
csuse he doesn't "blow his bazoo2" Hard
". And so with all the other reasons the
Argus advances, which sre similar to those
quoted above. They are exceedingly
flimsy and not to the point.
AT about SIX O'Clock last evening
white man rushed into the office Of DIR.
Leach on Eighth street and with the ex-
clamation: Il am dying of stab" threw
himself upon the floor, face downward. The
DR.. examined him and found a wound,
which appeared to have been inflicted with
a butcher knife, just below the left shoulder
blade. II was not fatal but would nave
proven so had it been one inch lower.
The doctor dressed the wound and made
the victim as comfortable as possible. In
the mean time Chief OF Police Robinson
had heard of the affair and arrived in the
Office He inquired of the man as to the
circumstances in the case-who did the
stabbing, and where, and how. But the
wounded man seemed surprised that the
officer knew anything abou. the affair and
asked how he had heard of il, stating at
the same time that he wished il to be kept
quiet. After some hesitation he said that
his name was George Cosgrove; that he
had family in Columbus, Ky, and had
been employed on farm just above Mound
City Tor some weeks; and having earned
something over eight dollars, walked down
here in the rain yesterday. He was walk
ing down Commercial avenue near Fourth
street when two negro women accosted him,
each asking him to 90 with her into her
house. He went with one of them, and
while in the house. was robbed of all his
money. When he came out, the other wo-
man was standing by the door outside, and
as he passed her, she stabbed him in the
back. He then ran up Commercial avenue
in search OF medical aid. George was
taken to Sackberger's to stay during the
night, at the expense OF Chief Robinson.
The chief at once repaired to the scene of
the ARRAY and arrested number Of women
all the women in the house, in fact
against whom the least ground for suspi-
cion existed and it is probable that the
guilty parties are now in a safe place to
await the action Ct Justice Olmsted to-day.
The delegates to the congressional con-
yen,lon are called to meet at Carbonate
the 22nd Of July, for the purpose OF nomi-
mating a candidate for the national legisla-
ture to succeed Thomas the present Repub-
lican incumbent. AS the time for the
meeting approaches, it becomes more and
more necessary that good men should be
looked up and forced upon the notice of
the delegates. That the various qualifica-
tons Of the several men should be givea
proper publicity, and that thus the the con-
ven,ion may be able to judge as to who
would contribute most to the success of
the party. Character, popularity and
record are important points to
be considered in the selection.
The candidate should be honest; be known
and liked everywhere in the district, and
have record which he and his friends
could be proud of and which would fur
nish no ground for just criticism from enc
mics. He should be willing to work hard
for the success Of the party; be able to de-
fend himself and his party against the ma
licious attacks of living opponents and
