The Democratic Senatorial Convention of this district lias been called to meet at JoneslMiro, July 2:id. the day on whu h the Democratic ('onytvi i district con- VCIltion convenes lit that place. The pvoli ability is that Mr. Thomas . Haliiday and Ml', lloliinsou will li' the- candidates, Polls will be opened to-morrow in eueli of the five wards of the city to give the vectors an oppoitunity to determine wh'thcr they desire to compromise our eitv H per cent del it I y issuing l per cent new bonds for half the amount. A share of M) jxr cent Is not to by sneered at by any clti'.cn who wishes to pay the dbts of the ctjr. Quite an interest has licen awakened in lx'lmlf of Burklow, now a prisoner in the jnil of Alexander -county, and who will BtifiVr the extreme penalty of the law if Governor Cullon does nial interfere. That Burklow does not deserve some punishment for the crime committed hy him no one asserts; but hundreds of people two out of every three of the people of Southern Illi nois will regard his execution on the gal lows as a palpablo judicial murder. Of course the judge and jury acted conscien tiously; but lioth judge and jury have, By requesting the governor to commute the sentence to imprisonment, admitted that they were too severe. Gen. Logan asserted in his speech at Murphy si toro that the Democrats intended to revolutionize the government hy investi gating the presidential rascality ami put ting Mr. Hayes out of the presidential office. The General knows that Mr. Hayes obtained place by frauds that ought to consign the rascals guilty of them to the penitentiary; and still he insists that, even if it should le demonstrated that President Hayes was a party to the rape of the high office he does not fill, it would be a revolu tionary act to put him out. We do not le lieve this. If it is shown that President Hayes was one nf the men who roblted the IK'ople of their choice for president, lie should be impeached and put out of office in the manner prescribed by law. Henrj M'utterson, tlie brilliant but rather tonguey editor of the Louisville Courier Journal, publishes an open letter to Abram S. Hewitt, in which he says : ' '"You know and I know that Mr. Tilden disapproved the Electoral bill. You know, ond I know, that you spent Sunday, the 14 th of January, in New York, and that he made his objec tions sufficiently known to you; that on Monday evening, the ,15th of January, a meeting of the committee of advisement considered the terms of the bill hypotheti cal!' submitted to it; that at that meeting I opposed them; that you were dumb as an oyster as to Mr. Tihlcn's opinion, and that finally we all agreed to support the measure, most of us lielieving it the emanation of our chief. I have charged, and do charge, that your failure to tell what Mr. Tilden had said to you the day before was the practical suppression of his more sagacious counsels, and to all intents a betrayal to your friend. Now, I repeat and declare my charge of personal dishonor upon you, and, at you don't wish to tight it out, and I am sure I don't, I will make you this proposi tion: You select two members of the committee oi advisement, of which both of us were members; and I will select two. Tho four shall select a fifth, and if I do not make my charge good, I will make you a public apology." LOGAN AND THIS DISTRICT. In a speech made at Murphysloro a few- days ngo, General Logan gave notice to the Democracy that he intended to make-a thorough canvass of this congressional district, ami that it was the intention of the Republicans to redeem it hy a decisive majority. Some of our good friends in this part of the State disparage the abilities of Gen. Logan and assert that lie lias no influ ence among the people of this section. AVe do not agree with them. Ve Itelicve ha is a man of very marked ability and that In: can do much iu the work of arousing the Republicans of this district into dangerous activity. We therefore believe that the gen eral's notification should not be unheeded. The Democrats should get ready for the dcsirf-rate struggle, and make sure a glori ous victory by a complete organization. We can. with proper management under un able leader, defeat the Republicans by a decisive majority, even it Gen. Logan does blow his bugle and rally hisliovs. We have the Radicals at a disadvantage, and we should not endanger our chances of success by any mistake or by a neglect to do our duty. We should get ready for a tierce battle, and by good generalship give Radicalism in the Eigh teenth district its Sedan. THE STOIU OF MRS. JEXKS. The raciest, sauciest, sharpest ami most unreliable witness examined by the Potler committee was Mrs. Jeiik, of Louisiana. She arrived in Washington accompanied by her husband, the captain, and has since her appearance as u witness been the observed of all observers, the most-talked about woman iu the country, und the coolest-headed person in Washington. Her story is peculiar. If she is telling (lie truth Sherman did not write the letter produced by Anderson jimmis'ing u con sideration for the proer return of East Feliciana iiuish, and Anderson is guiltless of a falsehood iu asserting that he did. She met Weber, Anderson's colleague in the election manipulation business, near the St. Charles hotel in New Orleans, at the time the visiting statesmen wcro there, and lie told her that he and Anderson had determined to ask of Mr. Sherman a written guarantee for the proper return of their parish. She consented to carry the letter to Mr. Sherman., She took it; opened it; read' it; concluded that Weber and Anderson had no right to ask such a guarantee of Sherman ; wrote or got some man to write an answer to it the now famous Sherman letter and delivered the answer to Weber as Shcfman's reply to a letter he hud never een. - This is, in brief, her story. But sho lias contradicted herself in many particulars, and it is generally admitted by men of all parties at Washington that she has retailed a lie to save the reputation of the Secretary of the Treasury. THE TROPOSED COMPROMISE OF OUR CITY DEBT. This proposition has been made by a re ponsiblc combination of monied men: If the city of Cain) will agree to issue new six per cent bonds for half the princi pal and accrued interest of her present eight jar cent lxuids, we willlako the new ond give for them the old bonds. (jHow can these men get the old lond? They know, probably. Certainly .his need make no difference to us. But, it is objected, we cannot pay the new bonds the burden will be to) great and we might as w?ll therefore repudiate the whole of them. This is a shameful de claration; and there is no sense in it. We don't' pay because we can't. Very well ; but we will always be at law; will always lie at great expense; will always bo defeat ed in most of the cases; will finally k' com pelled to pay or else give up all k ope of making Cairo more than a miserable little village peopled by repudiators, shunned by business and in even1 way an unfit placeof residence. But why do the repudiatorsdesire a large debt to repudiate f We wish to put them to less trouble than they will have if the debt is not reduced. It is as easy to repudiate a small debt as a large one; but if in an attempt to repudiate our debt the courts should not permit us, it will le ap parent to all that it would be easier to pay a large debt than a larger one. Indeed, we cannot understand why there is any objection to the proposed comprom ise ; and we shall be surprised if the voters of Cairo defeat the ''For issuing the Bonds'1 ticket at the election to-morrow. JI01WD CITY JUNCTION. LOCAL 00SSIP BATTLE OF THE BRAVES TUE WHEAT YIELD IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. From Our Correspondent. Moi'ND Citt Junction, June 24th. Mr. Clias. W. Argenbright, who has been basking in the tropics during the past three years, has just returned, looking as roundly und openly O. K. as his friends in general and the young ladies in particular could wish to see him. Miss Spencer, who has lx-en enjoying a pleasant visit among her friends in St. Louis, has returned with the most highly apiroved metropolitan airs, greeting every body and bowing as sweetly and blushing ly as a June rose-bud. "Punk" Wheeler, who kindly con descends to act as chapcrone to ladies un accompanied by their gallants, tried on Sun day evening to revive a custom known in his grand-father's hot days, by walking in his shirt-sleeves In-side a lady. Owiny to the unpopularity of the style among young gentlemen that own summer coat., he failed ignomoniously. A sign reading "leave the dead their roses" should be posted up in a eoncpicous place in Beech Grove Cemetery. It might touch the hearts of the lady and gentleman vandals who steal flowers from that silent resting place. There are millions of roses outside for the living, and love waters the cemetery flowers with tears. L'juvc the deail their roses. Sunday night, a colored individual named Murray, fought nobly. He had stated in public that he "could whop any tree injuns alive," and the three for whom the challenge was meant came rushing into town Sunday night, red-eyed with fire-water, and sending a succession of startling whoops right into Mr. Murray's ears. Al though Mr. Murray had been to church, and the sand was consequently low in his gizzard, yet he girdled up his loins for the winning of one of the noblest of human victories. He determined to conquer him self to tear himself away, in short, from that opportunity to "whop" the aborigines. Of the exact time it took him to "do" the half mile which stretched between his hack-door and the brush, your reporter was not informed. It is sufficient to state that the speed of his number twelves was such as to elicit howls of pure admiration from the redskins in bis rear. It is easy to see that the crop reports from the wheat fields of Southern Illinois is worth but little to the general reader. Right before my eyes, nil through the harvest, wer" both the 'newspaper reports and the wheat-fields. "Average." and "fair to excellent," and other synonymous words and clauses qualifying "the crops" don't read correctly to anybody who knows much about the wheat and the adjectives of the present season iu these parts. The reKirts are "chnlf." Let all the wheat grown this year in Illinois, between the parallels of Du (Jtmin ami Cairo, ho meas ured, and it will be but little very little- larger than half the crop of, last year. And farmers between the two points will wiy that I am rUrht. More unoti, Paul Surreu . I COST I NT ED FROM FIRST PAOE. t) rough a conclusion drawn by this witness, Mr. Butler contended that he hud a rigbt to ascertain which of tho witness' tw) en tirely dilfcrent stories lie would give credit to. After some further discussion, tho ex amination was resumed and Gen. Boynton said he never told any one that fha presi dent's failure to deny the chaw led him to deduce the inference ho hud drawn. Q. Did you not state to somelnxly in some form of words that Anderson hud some political knowledge .which it was best should not be known? A. I did not no state. I may luive M't that impression. Mr. Butler proreedwl to ask some further questions in a rathrr loud tone of voice, when Gen. Boyntct? objected to his manner if examining him, chnrging him with anut tenipt to bullduw him. Suid Gen. Boyn ton: I am no: used to that sort of thing, and will not take it from anylsxly. The oflier meinVrs of the committee have treated me iike a gentleman, and Gen. But ler has iu ted like a rowdy. Sensation. This raised quite a commotion, and the chairman asked Mr. Boynton very blandly whether he had ever before lieen a wit ness, to which the general replied : Oh, yes; I Aave. Mr. Butler said to Boynton that his talk ing iu so loud a voice was front a considera tion for Boynton 's hard hearing, an infirmi ty from which both suffered. Mr. Boyuton I ant very sorry, general. Q. You have Uvn on intimate terms with the president for some timer A. I have not been three times at the White House since his inauguration, except when sent for. Y. How often have you been sent for? A. AlKittt a dozen times. Mr. Butler continued for some time to interrogate Gen. Boynton with reference to the latter's conversation with the president, but no new facts were elicited. Boynton said the first he heard of the existence of the Matthews letters and the Sherman let ter, was from Mr. Gibson, corresMindent of the New York Sun. Gen. Boynton was then excused until to morrow, and the committee then went into executive session, after which it adjourned until 10:30 a.m. Liver is Kino. The liver is the imperial organ of the whole human system, as it con trols the life, health and happiness of man. When it is disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of ailments are the natural result. The digestion of food, the movementsof the heart and blood, the action of the brain and nervous system are all immediately connect ed with the workings of the liver. It has been successfully proved that Green's Au gust Flower is unequaled in curi.tg all per son's afflicted with dyspepsia or liver com plaint, and all the numerous symptoms that result from an unhealthy condition of the liver and stomach.
