The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1880-08-05


heard from will open the season In this
city,
Cairo may not be . fine watering place
although she has the great Ohio and Mis-
sisslppi rivers flowing by her, but for cool
weather and home comforts she is not ex.
celled by any brandy and watering place on
the continent.
If the Sun knows what is good tor its
party it will not speak lightly of such men
as John Gladney, W. T, Scott, Judge Bird
etc. These men are the equal Of any white
man in the city in intelligence, and exert
not little influence among men of their
color.
The Comique Band furnished the mu-
sic for the Democratic procession last night
free of charge. 1t is but justice to them to
say that under the leadership of Messrs.
Goss and Lemon, the band has become
equal to most any in the country, and always
calls forth and delights our people when
their notes reverberate through our streets.
David Cooley, white Republican, yes
terday forgot the presence of the public
pump on the market square and having a
few dimes in his possession, spent them for
alcoholic drink and as consequence was ar
rested in an "Oh, be joyful" condition by
Chief Robinson. Justice Olmsted gave
him board in the city Jail for two days,
which be accepted without a murmur.
In our article, concerning Squire Com.
ings, published in yesterdays issue, the
compostor made us say he (the Squire
chad displayed remarkable ingenuity in
MANUFACTURING the evidence in cases
tried before him in order to make it sustain
his judgment. We wrote "MANIpuLATING,"
instead of MANUFACTURING" and, not wish
ing to say even word that might UNJUST
LY reflect upon the Squire, we here make
the correction.
Father Meagher, who died in St.
Mary's infrmary last Monday was for
years an active teacher of the Catholic
religion in Paducah and was generally es
teemed there. He had also number of
warm friends in this city who were greatly
surprised and panied to hear OF his sudden
death. After appropriate services over
them in st. Joseph's church, the
remains were placed on board the Gus
Fowler, for Paducah, where they were
inferred yesterday.
Col. Don Morrison writes to Will
Smyth, stating that he has just returned
from Washington, and is about to start
for Iowa, to be absent for several weeks
He regrets that he cannot visit Cairo just
now, and promises to pay his respects to
Mr.. Douglas, Jr., and the Republican party
before Cairo audience between now and
November Col. Morrison was recently
nominated elector at large from Missouri
A nomination on the Democratic side in
that state is equivalent to an election by
10000 majority.
The Sun made its appearance very
modestly last night In fact it entirely
lacked the spirit which we hoped to see 1t
exhibit. Seeing that it is peaceably lnclin-
ed we respectfully whisper into the ears OF
its editorial force;
Let dogs delight to bark nd bite,
For God hath made them so;
Let bears and lions growl and fight
For It's tn cir nature too,
But children, you should never let
Your angry passions rise;
Since your little hands were never made
To tear out others eyes.

The sinking Of the Steamer City of
Vicksburg is o serious loss to company
whose business is conducted in way to
challenge public approval. But it is'gratify-
ing to know that the accident was unattend-
ed by loss of lite, and is it pleasure to be
able to state that the discipline and discretion
that generally characterizes the officers of
this company was admirably exemplifed
by Capt. Elem Calvert and Mr.. Harry
Matson, the pilot on watch at the time.
Capt. Calvert Is well known in this city,
aud his many frihdfunite in congrat.
