"A colored man, named Bob Stokes, has
taken possession of the southern approach
of the new Cache bridge, and having built
hut thereon, he probably has the estab-
lishment of presumption in view. There
might be no valid objection to Roberts oc-
cupancy of his new high water quarters,
but for two facts and the consequence that

crack it. Many wondered if the Cairo pa
pers would give the facts-pubish all the
details, and lay the editorial whip right
briskly over the shoulders Of the guilty par
ties. Without galnsaylng the truth OF the
main facts published, we have this to say
for THE BULLETIN were il not that the re-
bounds of our blows would deeply wound
and humiliate many innocent and entirely
respectable persons we should ply our cud-
gel to the principal actors in the scandal

Red Bud, and will doubtless return to-day
