The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1880-03-27

man waste in hiding under beds, the gem
tleman is singularly retlcent.
The near approach of our city election
is exciting little attention and less discus
sion in any quarter. 1t seems to be gener-
ally understood that the Fifth ward will in.
sist upon the return of Mr.. Tom Halliday
to the council, and the hope that they
will continue to insist and take no refusal,
is entertained all over the city. In the
Third ward very strong pressure will be
brough to bear upon Capt. Wright to run
again, but in the Fourth ward the voters
are at sea. 1t is Understood that Mr..
kynaston firmly refuses to stand for re-
election. In the lower wards eager aspir-
ants have not asserted themselves, and
may not do so until the eve Of the election.
We have no patience with those Dem
ocratic newspapers that denounce Logan's
furious assault upon Fitz John Porter, or
"thc infamous caucus decision secured
through the efforts Of Logan, Carpenter and
Others, with no other object than to with
hold an act Of justice to deserving sol
der" If the caucus decision was infa
nous, why did the Democratic senators ac-
quiesce in the infamy by tabling the only
measure before them that could give ex-
preston to Democratic adherence of the
decision, and afford relief to the much
wronged Porterl With Porter kettle of
our own black as ebony, we are not in
condition to express horror over the somber
coatings of the Republican Porter pot.
"A mule, driven by negro man was
unable to extricate the wagon load of wood
to which it was harnessed from sink hole
on DIVISION street, Thursday evening, and
was belaborcd in a most cruel and brutal
manner by the driver. Yesterday the ami
mails appearance told rather a sickening
story of the crueltes to which it had been
subjected and Of the brutal impulses of its
owner. But its retaliation was not alto
gether fruitless. II succeeded in kicking
Its harness all to pieces, and compelled the
driver to unload the wagon. Had it been
able to plant both of its heels on the vicious
negro's sconce, the retaliation would have
been both just and complete.
The boys of Cairo, given to much
horn-blowing and pan-poun1ing as a means
Of breaking the first nights rest and ruff
fling the tcmpers of newly married people,
will, for their own good, commit the fol-
lowing extract to memory: THE supreme
court of Illinois has decided that
chArlvari party is an unlawful asscmblage,
case of murder in that connection com
ing up from De Kalb county. Some twenty
years ago a similar decision was rendered
in the case of exGov. Bebb, of Ohio. then
a citizen Of Illinois, and who was defended
by Tom Corwn. A party of country louts
chariVaried his premises upon the occasion
Of his daughters marriage; he warned tne
party off they refused to 60; he shot into
the crowd, killed a man'-was acquitted -
and subsequently elected governor OF Ohio.
Mr.. A. L. Goss, of the Olympic brass
band, in Paducah, appears considerably IN
censed at little paragraph that recently
appeared in the Argus He kindly relieves
the editor of that paper Of all responsible
ity, and fixes it on the shoulders of parties
whom he regarded as his friends. His note
to The BULLETIN, bearing date, Paducah,
2jth instant, reads as follows:
Editor Cairo Bulletin
| saw little notice in the Argus of the
23d, stating that the Millions and myself
were fired from Paducah by the authori-
ties, and in reply would say It is a bare
faced lie, | know it was not written by
the editor or any one connected with that
paper, but it was written by parties that
thought were my friends. AS far as CON-
band, it is utterly false. Mr. Rosenthal,
the proprietor of the Olympic is a gentle
man, and runs good Legitimate show,
brass band and orchestra, and | hope my
many friends in Cairo will not pay any at.
tention to that notice whatever.
Yours, Respectfully
A. l.. Goss,
Leader Brass Band, Olympic Theater
Yesterday afternoon while Miss
Stuart, sister of Charley Stuart, the mer-
chant, was standing IN the vicinity of Mr..
Ford's variety store, she was struck directly
in the eye with stone or pebble, thrown
from the sling Of reckless boy, whose
whereabouts could not be discovered. The
pain inflicted was most intense and for
time it was feared that the eye was scri-
