His conduct in Springfield that day, the
remarks he made about Judge Douglas,
his comments on the speech OF
the senator are well known to all
old Illinois Democrats He said "the
speech was a id surrender Of the Demo
crazy to the abolitionists, and that the Sen
ator might sell out the Democracy to the
abolitionists, but he'd id if he could
deliver him." So enraged and inoensed
was that doughty swashbuckler ofthe "Sun-
derland school" that he refused to ride in
the same car with the Senator.
This is the man, now the leader Of the
Radical party in Illinois, who, AN open and
avowed secessionist during the months Of
April, May aud till the sth day of June

THE MAYORS VETO,
OVER WHICH THE LIQUOR ORDINANCE WAS
PASSED LAST NIGHT.

OVER WHICH THE LIQUOR ORDINANCE WAS
PASSED LAST NIGHT.
Although considerable business of gen
eral interest was transacted by the council
last night, We have no space for it in this
issue aud will lay its doings before our
readers tomorrow
The following in Mayor Thistewoods
veto message over which the ordinance, re-
ducing the saloon license was passed last
night:
Gentlemen Of the City Council
|, desire to return to you without my ap.
prevail an ordinance passed at your last reg
ular meeting amending section forty eight
OF chapter nine of the revised ordinances.
The ordinance sought to be passed re.
duces the license for retailing spirituous
liquors from two hundred to one hundred
and fifty dollars
This reduction either means loss to US
in revenue Of over two thousand dollars or
else the number Of drinking places must
lie largely increased. There can be no
good reason urged for either. We are GER.
tainly IN more prosperous condition as a
people than we have been for years. We
are making extensive Improvements. We
cannot afford to begin cutting of revenue
when to keep pace with the progress of i'm
provements which seem to prevail, we
should rather increase it. The license now
is below the average of other places of like
advantages in the state.
But incline to the opinion that the ten
dency of reducing the license to one hun
dred aud fifty dollars will be to increase the
number Of drinking places. This certain
ly would not be desirable. There are now
fifty licensed saloons 1t is safe to esti-
mate that one half the expense Of the pc.
lice force and jail grows out Of intoXication.
You cannot reduce intoxication if you
increase the number Of places where men
may become intoxicated. Drunkenness
means crime,i you cannot prevent itrestrict
1t as much as possible
You cannot restrict it if you increase the
facilities for it.
therefore hope that this ordinance will
not become o law do not think 1t would
be an advantage to those engaged in the
business. | know it would not benefit the
general public.

COMINGS AND THE BULLETIN.

Beyond announcing the fact we have re-
Trained from referring, in any manner, to the
action OF criminal lible instituted against
us by Mr., Comings in the county court.
Not that we were in the least intimidated
by it, nor did we fel that we had in any
wise laid ourself justly liable to such action,
but because we did not think the matter
of sufficient Importance to merit much
notice, and because we did not wish to
bore our readers with the matters in which
they perhaps felt no more interest than we
do. But we have been urged of late to
state upon what grounds we rest our
supreme Indifference to charge
which, if proven, carries with it such Sc
rious conseq uences, 1t is said that if the
charge is well sustained, then we are fool
ish not to see it, or, seeing it, hide our con-
Germ behind an assumed indifference, and
our fear in profound silence. On the 9TH
er hand, we hear that, if the charge is not
well founded then Comings displayed a
lack of judgment in making 1t and an ut
ter lack of brains in publicly Dragging on
his action. To these propositions we have
to say firstly; That the charge is NOT well
sustained, hence our carelessness in the
matter is not garb assumed to hide
our real feelings; and second
ly Comings is not fool, at least we think
he is not. He has displayed remarkable
ingenuity in manufacturing the evidence,
in cases tried before him. IN order to make
1t sustain his judgment, He has shown
to be possessed Of tolerable good |
sense and thorough appreciation
Of his own interests, in inducing one
citizen to bring suit against another in his |
court, by promising to render judgment
in his favor and then deciding against him
because he had himself failed to conform |
to certain rules concerning witnesses. But
besides, he has mastered the great financial
problem that SO dlsturbs the political at.
mosphere of this country, His street corner
and sales.shop harangues upon the money
question, aud his denunciatlons Of the ma
ority of the voters of the United States be.
cause they persist in prefering hard money
to fat-money, have gained for him at least
the reputation that he Is not fool, and left |
the impression upon the hearer that he
might accomplish unheard Of things il the
people would elect him dictator or give HIM
the ghost Of show even though it were
only little municipal Office, But al.
though the Squire has repeatedly offered
his valuable services, to the
dear people, they have,
with strange consistency, always refused
TO acknowledge his eminent fitness for any
position Of profit or trust under them.

left for Alexandra, Minnesota where his
two sons preceded him several months
ago In losing the doctor we loose an in
telligent and good citizen and one who car
ries with him the best wishes of the people
of this county and The BULLETIN. The
day before he left the people of his pre-
cinct showed their appreciation of his
worth in no uncertain way. He was asked
to visit one of his neighbors with his fami-
ly and suspectng nothing he did
SO, sbut upon returning to the house,
after short absence, he found it complete
ly filed by his neighbors, who had not for
gotten to bring with them box of cham
payne and such other things essential to
the enjoyment of the company. Of course
the doctor and his excellent family were no
less pleased than surprised at the thought
fulness of their friends and thoroughly ap-
preciated their kindness, which was mani
tested in various ways, The doctor has
concluded not to forget our people and in
order to keep informed of their doings, has
ordered THE BULLETIN to be sent him.
The Evening Luminary says; "In a
recent issue The BULLETIN has seen fit to
intimate that the Republicans of Cairo will
not heartily support Hon. Thomas for con-
gress Why it should draw that conclusion,
if it is honest in its expression, we are at
alloss to see, etc." tits true that we init
mated "that the Republicans of Cairo would
not heartily support Hon. Thomas for con-
gress" and we now make the positive as
sertion to that effect without any 'intima-
ton" about it, and are ready to produce
the proof. Here it is: 1t was
the day after the nomination
of Thomas that we spoke to number of our
most intelligent colored men concerning
Thomas nomination and among them were
Mr.. John Gladney and Mr.. T. W. Scott.
These gentlemen said that while they would
vote for Thomas, they sincerely regretted
that he had been nominated and said that
almost any other man would have suited
them better. Thomas" SAID Dir, Scott
"has treated my race badly and on that
account do not feel towards him AS
otherwise would. It is true that Judge
Bird and l seconded his nomination, but
we did this in order to show him
that we were willing to do more
for him than he had shown disposition to
do for us" That this is Mr.. SCOTS Ian
guage, word for word, he will not deny
and We ask the Sun and all reasonable
people whether this is the language Of a
man who will HEARTILY SUPPORT Hon
John r. Thomas for congressi" The fact
is the Sun man knows, as well as anybody
that Judge Heilman will be our next con-
gresham, but it lacks the backbone to
acknowledge it and attempts by vain bluffs
of the above kind, to strengthen the con-
tinually weakening ranks Of its utterly de-
moralized party.

Two gentlemen who have gone to con-
siderable trouble to ascertain Hon. John II.
Oberlys strength in this county have ascer-
tanned to almost certainty that he will
run five hundred votes ahead of his ticket
and it is generally conceded by Republic
cans as well as Democrats that he will
carry the Eighteenth congressional district
by thousand more votes than Heilman.
The Sun Of last night, without the fear
of God before its eyes and entirely regard
less of the opinions OF all decent people,
had the brazen impudence to raise the
Republican ticket Whether the people
of the Union will condone such an otfenoe
remains to be seen. At any rate the
certain defeat of the Republican party is
the inevitable consequence OF the inexcusa-
BILE rashness OF that great journal.
The colored people Of Cairo will never
forget the snubbing they received at the
Republican convention at which the white
Republicans firmly set their face against
instructing for Judge Bird. On that occa-
sion they were not only snubbed, but in
suited inthe most deliberate wayby the ring
leaders and informed that their votes were
not wanted. This being the case, those of
our colored people over whose eyes the
wool can't be pulled, will vote as their
conscience dictates.
The Sun of last night questions the
truthfulncss of our statement to the effect
that the Hon. John II. Oberly will be
elected secretary of state by at least three
majority, but does not attempt to
PROVE the contrary--in fact its editor
knows as well as any living man that the
contrary can not be proven. In reference
to this matter we can use its own language
and say; ut is an easy matter to make
statements, but another thing to prove
them, etc"
On tomorrow morning Mr.. Chas.
Pfferling will have on tap some more of
his celebrated xxx Saltwater beer for the
benefit of an appreciative public. A spe-
cial received in this city last night, from
Dr.. Tanner, conveys the intelligence that he
will arrive here Immediately after his forty
days fast to regain his powers and former
proportions on Char!ey's beer. That he
will not be disappointed is the general YER
dict of the best physicians, who pronounce
the beer the purest in the market and per-
tectly wholesome.
