Before the Porter was allowed to pass Memphis, the authorities of that ity caused her to be thoroughly examined.

A meeting of tho Democratic Central Committee of this congressional district was held yesterday at tho St. Charles hotel in this city. Judge Green called the committee to or der ami said, among other things, that, i his opinion, tho committee should be per manently organized and go to work in this campaign vigorously and without delay Ho thought the necessities of the campaig UonianiieU an aggressive ngiit. no an nouneed his willingness to receive nomina tions for chairman of the committee. Mr. Morelimd, seconded by Mr. Mayhem moved that Judgo Green bo elected permit nent chairman of the committee. Jiuigo urecn sum tliere were Severn reasons why he would not like to accept the position. One reason was that it would be difficult to arrange his business so as to give that time to the campaign that wouli bo necessary to conduct the canvass that will be required to secure success. Mr. Linegar said that in organizing the committee a man should be selected willin to take responsibilities. A timid man will not do. And another thing, the headquar ters of the committee- should be at Cairo. More counties can be reached from this place than from any other place in the dis tnct. He therefore, urged that, notwith standing Judge Green's declination, in his opinion the Judge ought to be pressed into the service. Mr. Mayhem was very much disposed to insist with Mr. Linegar that no one could be selected in every respect better fitted lor tho chairmanship than Judge Green. His location, ability and acquiiintanship in the district make him tho proper man for the head of tho committee, ne therefore as the seconder of the motion asked that the question be put upon tho election of Judge Green. Judge Green said ho had very candidly mentioned the objections he had to accept ing the position; and he would add that Mr. Goddard, the member of the committee from Williamson, was oi tho opinion that the chairman should not bo selected from Cairo, and the Judge believed the commit tee should be a unit on this question. He would suggest that it might be wiso to select some man outside of the committee Mr. Connelly, proxy of Mr. Goddard, said it was Mr. Goddard's opinion that the chairman should be selected outside of Cairo; but he was sure Mr. Goddard would have no objection to Judge Green if he should be madu chairman. The motion was then put by Mr. Moreland and it was carried unanimously Mr. Field, of Pope, moved that Mr. II. F. Potter, of Pulaski, be elected secretary. The motion was carried by a unanimous vote. Mr. Harinan was of the opinion that the first step necessary to be taken was to raise the means to carry on the campaign, and be suggested that the ways and means should be taken into consideration. After this a general discussion ensued in which Messrs. Oberly, Barr, Sloan, Fields Courtney, Mayhem, Shoemaker, Boyt and others took part. On motion, i( was resolved that the chairman of each county central committee, with two other Democrats from each coun ty, to.be appointed by the chairman, be appointed county finance committees for the district. The chair appointed tho following com mittees under the aliove resolution: Pope P. V. Field, W. P. Sloan and Mason C. Bird. Massac James E. Roberts, S. S. Shoe maker and James H. Craig. Pulaski James Y. Clemson, W. D. Por ter and II. G. Carter. Alexander Thos. W. Halliday. W. M. Williams .and Herman Meyers. Union Phil II. Kroh, John Buck and Jesse Ware. Jackson Geo. W. Andrews, Geo.

Johnson W. A. Spann, Cicsar Colin and S. P. Howell. Mr. Potter moved that the member of the congressional district committee from eacli county be requested to forward to the secre tary of tho bommittee n list of the members of the county committee of this county, with the post-otilce addresses of each member. Carried. On motion of Mr. Moreland, tho secretary was instructed to compile tho vote by coun ties for Hayes nnd Tilden, Stewart and Cullom, Hartzell and Wiley. On motion of Mr. Moreland, F. Bross, of Alexander, was appointed treasurer of tho committee. On motion of Mr. Field, Cairo was inside tho headquarters of the Democratic Central Committee of the Eighteenth district. On motion of Mr. Field, tho secretary was instructed to notify the chnirmim of each of tho several county committees to call a meeting of precinct committeemen for the purpose of immediate organization. , Messrs. Moreland, Barr and Oberly wore appointed a committeo to prepare a con stitution for Democratic club organizations. On motion of Mr. Moreland the com mittee requested Mr. Albright io go to Spartu and moot Copt. Thomas J. that place on Thursday, and if practicable reply to tho speech he proposes to make on that day. After tho transaction of other business the committee adjourned to meet on tho call of tho chairman. The voice of reform is heard through tho tho land, ami speaks of the "good time coming." So too tho spirit of reform is working in tho nurseries of tho land to banish those dangerous Opium and Morphia preparations, and establish useful ant' harmless remedies, of which Dr. Bull'i Baby Syrup is acknowledged ns tho very best for all the disorders of babyhood and early childhood.

Seeing the report in The Bulle tin of the arrest of Henry Eichotf, charged with buying goods under false paetenses, I would like to explain to the readers of The Bulletin the manner in which ho ltoiight his goods. Henry Eichoff left Cairo in Jan uary, 1877,. for Fort Worth, Texas, and opened a furniture store there, bought goods, nnd carried on the business in his own name. Last fall, business being good, he liought a large stix-k of goods from sev eral manufacturers with the agreement that the goods should be shipped a few days af ter they were bought. Among others from whom he purchased was Agger & Sunning, Cincinnati, paying five hundred dollars in advance for bedsteads, with tho agreement that they should bo shipped at once, nnd they kept him waiting two months before they shipped the goods. Tho other parties promised from time to time to send the goods, until about January, 1878, when car load after car load arrived with freight to be paid on each car ranging from one hundred and forty to two hundred ami twenty dollars- About tho same timo heavy winter rain set in and business stopped. Payments com ing duo tho money having been paid out for freight, the stock on hand unsold and he had no money to meet payments. On the other hand if the manufac turers hud shipped the goods as they had agreed, the furniture could have been sold, tho manufacturers paid, and Henry Eichoff would have made some profit. Now he is penniless, nnd charged wrong fully. Respectfully, Wm. Eichoff. City Clerk's Office, Cairo, III., July 30, 1S78. Seuletl proposals will be received at this office until 0 o'clock p. m. of Tuesday, 13th day of August, 1878, for removing from the front of all houses in this citv nil vegetables and dry kitchen offal of all and every de scription, six days in each week, from the date of contract until the first day of Septem ber, 1878. Such removal to be made under ilirection of Board of Health. Tho city reserves the right to reject any or all bids. J. B. Phili.is, City Clerk. FIFTY-FIRST SENATORIAL DIS TlilCT.
