arrests and prosecutions by which he made
upwards of thirty-fve thousand dollars, and
deprived thousands of Democratic citizens
of the right to vote. He then, by way of
showing his Republican bearers that their
party-"the party of free and honest bal
lot"-was itself the intimidator of the voter,
the suffer of ballot boxes and the perpeua-
tor Of the grossest election frauds that could
ever be charged, by rascals familiar with
the business from practice-upon the Dem

themselves the criminals produced the
testimony of the Republican leaders in Hi
nois charging another with every magma
political rascality practiced in the
election OF delegates to the several state
conventions. He read from speeches de-
livered by Republican leaders; from com
mittee reports made by republican com
mittees from editorials writtens by repub.
lican editors and published by
| Republican papers, in the fer
cest terms the black frauds that had
been perpetrated by Republican election
managers at republican polls. Among in
Vulnerable others, he read from speech
deliveredby Chas Farwell, in which he,
Farwell, denounced the Grant faction as the
champion political burglars of the age.
This portion appears not to have been prop
perly understood by some Republicans in
the audience, who have since spread the re-
port that Mr. Obery had denounced
the entire Republican party
as political burglars THIS
is not true. Mr.. 0. did not make the
charge, but we think he might have done
so without injustice to the party, since the
Republican leaders are really the champion
burglars Of the age-they having broken
into the ballot box and stolen the presi-
dency from the Democracy. And this
| disgraceful burglary is to-day condoned by
every Republican voter.
We hear almost daily complaints from
persons who have come to Cairo to live,
that they can find no dwelling house to live
in. They have searched the town over and
find every house that is fit for occupancy,
and some that are not, taken. Some are
here at work, having left their families up
north, and would like to move them here;
but owing to the scarcity of residences, are
compelled to board while their families re-
main away. Others, having come here
with their families, have been compelled to
take refuge in some hotel, private boarding
house, or occupy some broken down old
shanty. This is quite drawback to Cairo's
growth, and should receive the attention of
the building association, Nf it is not de.

Large, fine residences are not what is
wanted in this emergency. The strangers
who come here to make their homes among

their honest labor for subsistence, and who
have not the means to build, and who, of
course, cannot afford to pay
over fifteen or eighteen dollar
