The evening paper misrepresented and de-
nounced and denounced and misrepresent-
ed, everybody and everything, but the re-
sponsble body and right thing. THE Bull
LETIN merely stated the facts in the case,
placed the blame where it belonged and
mildly rebuked the evening paper for its
errors and unjust denunciations. And for
this The BULLETIN is called "heartless' and
"inhuman.' Yc gods was ever greater

cruel persecution-mu we, who have lived

The new retail butcher shop of Mr..
Louis Koeher, Jr., on the north side of
Eighth street, in the building formerly oc-
cupied by Mr.. W, L. Bristol, is now open
to the meat consumers of the city, and is
well stocked with fresh meats of every des.
cription. Mr.. Louis Koeher is a young
man who has had many years of experience
in the butchering business, and has estab-
lished for himself an enviable reputation
for fair dealing and business ability His
shop is large, clean and complete in its ap-
pointments, but will be more complete, as
the cold weather approaches by the addition
of patent meat chopper, which will enable
Mr.. Koehler to furnish his customers with
sausages and head cheese, and chopped
meats in every form. Patronize the new
butcher shop and satisfy yourself of the
truth of the foregoing.

By recent decision of the supreme
court of Illinois an amendment to article
six, sections one and two of the bylaws of
the Cairo Builders and Loan association is
rendered unnecessary. The amendment did
away with that portion of article six au-
thorizing the selling of loans Mt the meet
ings OF the association to the highest bidder.
1t was passed because it was believed by
some that to offer loans at auction and sell
them to those who would pay the highest
premium, was usury, and, therefore, UNI
lawful. Believing this some one in the
central portion of the state began legal
proceedings against an association, which
resulted in declaration by the court that,
as the loans were sold only to members
of the association, the transaction
could not be cassed under the head of
usury. Therefore, it is probable that the
amendment, which requires that "loans
shall be made in the order in which appli-
cations are registered, which order of reg
istraton shall be ascertained by lot between
the applicants at each stated meeting of
the board of directors" and which makes
no reference to the amount of interest to be
paid, will be repealed at the next meeting
of the association.

On Monday next. the nth instant, a

On Monday next, the 18th instant, a
new express company, known as the Pacific
express company, will establish an office
in this city for the purpose of competing
with the other similar companies in car
rying merchandise to all points east. The
company will also do a local business over
the Cairo branch of the Wabash, st. Louis
and,,Pacifc system. the business office of
the company will be transacted in the pres
ent office of the Iron Mountain express
company, and Mr.. H. T. Hall, who is agent
here for the latter company, will also serve
as agent of the Pacific company. 1t is
expected that this competition in the ex-
press business, between this point and the
east, will have tendency to reduce express
rates, thing that would be source Of sat-
isfaction to shippers.

All that was left of the once magnificent
and grand steamer James Howard was sold
at public auction at the foot of Cherry
street in St. Louis, on Tuesday, for the
salyors. The great boilers that once made
the steam to propel the monster of the Mis-.
sissippi were sold from $500 to 1870 each
The wrought scrap brought $l.70 per hun
bred pounds, and the cast scrap iron went
off at 80 cents per hundred pounds. One
of the ponderous shafts that held one of the
wheels that sped many a soul to happiness
and sorrow, sold for $2l5. Thus is the last
vestige of the largest boat that ever floated
the Mississippi, except the Grand Republic,
wiped from existence by a few strokes of
the hammer.

streets Representatives of the two corpo-
rations, with their attorneys, were present
and the case occupied the time of the court
until six o'clock in the evening. Judge
Baker overruled the motion to dissolve the
injunction, and, therefore, the injunction
stands and the railroad company is barred
out. The attorneys for the company asked
for modification OF the judgment, how
ever, presenting reasons therefore and the
case will probably receive further attention
from the Judge o.day.

The evening paper was mistaken when
it said the other evening; "Now, however
we understand that the commissioners have
authorized the overseer of the poor, Dr.
Wood to extend medical and other aid TO
persons clearly in need Of it and not having
friends to provide for them. This is a
very recent action, however, as THE BULLE-
TIN well knows, and resulted from the agi-
tation Of the Argus in behalf Of humanity
The overseer Of the poor, Dr. Wood, has
| always EXTENDED medical and other aid to
persons clearly in need of it," He has al.
| ways been doing what the evening paper
says he was only recently ordered to do by
the county board because it, the evening
paper, urged that it be SO ordered. For
six years past DR., Wood has been paying
stipulated sums every week to poor old
creature named Harriet Cunningham for
upwards Of eight years he partially sup
ported old Ceramic Lee and her son
"Bill;' for over two years he has been furn-
ishing a house and weekly stipend Of
money to old Archie Chambers and his
wife; for several years he has helped with
money, every week, Georgia Brooks, Kittie
Munson and half dozen others, all in this
city. Furthermore, it is well known, and
the records Of the hospital and the overseers
reports to the commissioners will show,
that the overseer has alwas cared for cases
of distress in the city-always done much
more than "perhaps to bury portion Of
the unfortunstes.' All this has come out
of the county poor fund, Of course, and sue
cessfulIy retutes the claim of the evening
paper that its senseless and unjust crit-
cisms have had any influence with the
county commissioners,
