and an old citizen, long identified witt
Cairo.
If the pictures said to be portraits O
Jesse James and his assassins are really SC
the sooner the world is rid of the who'll
crew, the better. We doubt it, however, Al
the plate used for james has striking re
sembance to the one heretofore used fol
Grant and Garfield ON other occasions.
Gov. Crittcnden, of Missouri, seems tC
have exceeded his authority in pardonina
the Fords and Little before their ares
and conviction. The difficulty might bt
quietly settled by pardonng and paying
somebody else to slaughter them, and SC
on, in Kilkenny Cat style, till the state wa,
rid of the whole crew.
The motions to quash the indictment
in the star route case at Washington were
overruled and the defendants called on to
plead. The decision was sledge hammer
blow at the the confidence of these loyal
thieves who felt absolutely certain they
could not be made amendable to tae law
for their rascalities.
| The maR who owns the ink horn that
Luther threw at the devil long ago, must
be amused at the mania for relics shown
by the crowd who bid fabulous prices for
anything used OF owned by Saint Jesse
James," who recently suffered martyrdom
in Missouri The man who would not give
dime for relic of st. Augustine, freely
donates dollar for James toothpick.
The evee was unusually quiet all day
yesterday, owing to the wintry weather
which prevailed. As we made the grand
tour about midnight, there was scarcely q
sign of life visible. There we're few ar
rivals or departures outside of the usual
local boats, and the only notable circum-
stance reported was a collision between the
Piasa and Jack Frost, towboats, in which
both suffered considerable damage.
The river rose two and half inches
and stood "a feet eleven inches. A slight
rise was reported from all points up the
Mississippi and Ohio except Cincinnati.
The rise here will be very slight and at the
rate the sipe water goes down our city will
very soon be in its normal condition. Dis
infectants freely applied now will be of
great use in destroying all evil effects. The
indications are for continuance of cool
weather here.
john Kelly, the "Boss," has no oh.
lection to the Chinese if they Gene with
their families as European settlers do, but
he objects to their importation as slaves.
Arthur has been importuned by the sy-
cophants to name the terms Of such bill
as he would sign, as it is necessary, to have
one to Save" the Pacific slope. He ele.
Yates his nose and refuses to be placatcd. |
In the opinion of his crowds the Chinese
are preferable to the Dutch aud Irish.
Judging from the contest between the
stalwart and half breed organs Of the re-
publican party, one would suppose that the
presidency had become personal perquiS'
lte Of Arthur or Blaine. The lickspittes
are all in favor of Arthur's denomination, if |
his chief Grant can not be run in, and the
sorcheads are just as earnest in their conf.
dcnce that the plumed knight alone can
save the party. Perhaps when the time
comes that the people have the question be-
fore them, it will be discovered that they |
have ordered otherwise and then there will |
be a cleaning out of the Augeon stable that
will discount the Guano business. 1t can
toadeyism and organized fraud.
