OnlyMortiiny Daily in Southern Illinois L,rrK?st Circulation of any luily in Southern Illinois. M.H. Ilarroll, Kditor. The Pullman car company is declaring monthly dividends of 2 percent. If the company would reduce its price t"0 one half tlic amount now cliarjjcil, the price woulil still amount to a robbery of the traveling public. But the- cmnpauy would .show by the act that it ilon't care to get all the people's money at once. Ix less than two years after the adoption of a constitutional amendment conferring full rights of citizenship upon women, laws prohibiting the 'manufacture of intoxicating liquors will be enacted in all the Nw England, Middle and Northwestern States; and in less than four years lrom that time like laws will lie common to every State in tlie Union. When this time comes Mexico will do a 'booming" busing across the border. The malice of the St. Louis Globe-Demo-crat is of the kind that knows no mercy. Senator Armstrong, of Missouri, has tried hard to win a good name, and now stands so well with his party and his people, that the Deniocaats of Missouri, think well of him as a candidate for Govei nor in 1880. That, at such juncture, the Globe-Democrat should commence praising him, is sim ply heartless. The Globe-Democrat might have spared the old man the crushing weight of its good oju'iiion until after the next Democratic Stare convention, at all events. To damn him with its encomiums now, is, as we have stated, simply a piece of savagery. The prohibitionists arc 'making un in dustrious effort to induce the Ohio Legis lature to enact a constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture of intoxicating liquors, malt as well as spiritous. They ex pect to lay before the Legislature a petition containing the names of 0(0,0()0 persons. It will be an easy matter to enact the amendment, and the Legislature will prob ably do so; but to secure itsadoption by the people, will prove altogether a different tiling. Such a proposition would be de feated, on a popular vote, by a majority of a hundred thousand. We don't wish to discourage the temperance laborers; but in Illinois a similar result would follow. Great civic revolutions are effected at the end of long continued, earnest and unceas ing effort. In neither Ohio or Illinois or any other 'Western State litis public senti ment ripened to such a harvest. Tem perance men and women must wait and work. ' Tue irrepressible Nasby declares that he never wants to see another Democrat elect ed from a State like Wisconsin, because they are not half baked. But Nasby is not progressive. IIib party is leaving him in the lurch, and soon there will be no refuge 'or him unless he finds it in the folds of the party of Greenback ofilce-scekers. The great mass of Democrats north of Mason und Dixon's line are, to-day, in sympathy with Congressman Bragg, of Wisconsin. They would have the so-called rebel claims three-fourths of which are held by men whoso proof of loyalty rests in the fact that since tho war they have voted the Republi can ticket the Democrats of the North would have all thesis claims cut off,, by a constitutional ainendin.'iit, and placed beyond the possible reach of either party. Not one dollar of them should be paid, and. it six months hence, any man favors their payment, that man will not be recognized as a Democrat. Our National platform' must embody a p'unk growing a fixed aud unalterable determina tion to light all such claimes to tho bitter end, and tho man who can't stand on that plank, can get off the platform. All such men will prove a drag to tile Democratic party, and not a help. FitANCK, until recently a powder maga zine that exploded at the slightest touch of heat, and threw the people into tho wildest disorder, is now astonishing the world by the case and facility with which she effects peaceful revolutions. Every lover of lib erty begins to view the French republic with feelings of pride and satisfaction, as her people are furnishing a glorious demon stration of man's capacity for self govern ment. Day by day the government becomes more stable, and is constantly growing in the nff'Ctionsof the people. Prosperous in all her industrial pursuits, maintaining quiet and good order everywhere, tho Re public of France must furnish an irresista: ble impetus to the Democratic sentiment that long since gained a foothold in the German empire, and among the more en lightened subjects of the other limited monarchies of the continent of Europe. Tho days of the crown-heads! of Europe are few, and henceforward, will be full of trouble. s t Jons A. Wall, of the Pinckncyvillo Signal, declares that there is a "ring" in Pinckncyville, led by W. D. Murphy, Esq,, that is determined to ruiu his business aud drive him out of Perry county. Very re cently the "ring" has been enlarged by the addition of the man who owns the house in which the Signal is printed. This man notifies Mr. Wall that because of the non payment of the rent, he desires him to va cate the premises. In reply Wall avers that his laudlord has owed him more than the auvount of the rent for a period of two years. And quite recently, also, the "ring" has been further enlarged by the addition of the Baptist church ot l'inckueyville. The members of this church Hectare, by reso lution, that the Signal's personal attacks upon Rev. Mr. Willoughby are wanton, ma licious and unwarranted. In reply to this Mr. Wall declares that he has made no as saults upon Mr. Willoughby that have not been fully justified. He has, he says, called Willoughby an "old hypocrite," a "pious fraud." "a liar." etc., and Willoughby is a fraud, a hypocrite, and a liar. And, quite recently, too, the "ring" was further en larged by tho addition of the town council, which passed a series of resolutions that Wall was not permitted to see, but which were condemnatory of tite nunn"r in which the Signal lias been conducted. Kept in the dark as to the exact character of these resolutions, Wall's resistance was not quite as effective as it otherwise might have been. But he does the best ho can aud fights Willoughby, who edits tho opposition pa per; fights the Baptist church, fights his landlord, lights the town board, all these he tights through the columns of the Signal; and W. I). Murphy, whom he stigmatizes as the "boss" of the "ring," lie lights with tightly clenched fists as well as through his newspaper. Mr. Wall claims that he has been badly treated, and cer tainly talks like a man who is honestly in dignant and resentful. But without going outside of the columns of his own paper, the public will conclude that he has done wrong as well as suffered wrong. FELL OF HIS OWN WEIGHT. When Boss Hising had tljiished his testi mony in the Blodg 'tt impeachment inquiry, the impression prevailed that Blodgett was a ruined man. People foolishly thought that llesing, repentant for the sins that laid with mountain weight on his soul, had told the truth, although he, himself, was the beneficiary of the villainy he charged to the account of Blodgrtt. But in due time Blodgett's witnesses came upon the stand. Piece by piece llesi tig's testimony was des troyed, until, by the testimony of good men of Chicago he was proven to be a perjured man, and a most vindictive one besides. We referred yesterday to the val ue he placed upon the stock he held in the Staats Zeitung. That, he might avoid the payment of his just share of taxes he swore that his stock was worth only fifteen cents on the dollar. When he wanted to ruin the character ofJudge Blodgett lie. swore that the name stock was worth one hun dred cents on the dollar. Being confronted with his affidavit, in which 'he price of the stock was lixeilat fifteen cents, lie declared lhat'he had sworn to the alll laut in ignorance of its contentsthat, hud lie been advised that such a low rs'.imato had been placed on ihe stock, lie would not havo taken the oath. This was n most damaging explanation; but what will the reader think of the man when we remark that it was proven that even the explanation was false. The law yer who drew up the ntlldavit has sworn pointedly and unequivocally that llesing did know the mcnniiig a( juirporl of the affidavit, and had actually fixed the value of the stock himself. In nnother part of his tes timony Mr. llesing doclaro.1 that, while y. ingin jail liccauscof crooked vhisl;y opem tlotis, he was importuned by some one to get Judge Blodgett's signature to his par- doit petition; but ho had replied that "be fore l:o would ask a fuvor of a corrupt Judge ho would He iu jail and rot." This npurt of virtuous indigaation "brought down tho houso," and many were tho expressions of sympathy that were heard nil over .tho room for tho virtuous and much abused llesing. But even this testimony, that had no direct hear ing on tho case, was demolished, and shown up as a volunteered falsehood, tor it was proved by creditable witnesses that llesing did what ho declared ho would never do; Ho sent men to Judgo Blodgett to beg of him the favor of his signature to his par don petition, and ho did this, too, before "rottiug in jail" as a preliminary proceed ure. It may lie that the Chicago papers, from which we gather the facts wo have given, do not like llesing, and aim to bring him into disrepute; but, unless a majority of the witnesses brought before the committee testified falsely llesing has done more to tear down his own character than all the papers of Chicago could do, if religiously devoted to that end, in a whole twelve months. WASHINGTON LETTER. Special Correspondence of the Cairo Bulletin. Washington, Feruary 5, 1871). The quarrel ovej tho New York custom house is passed. Senator C'onkling is beaten and the administration, is triumphant. Probably the new officials will not perforin their duty much more or less efficiently than the old ones. The contest was for control ot the spoils simply. To Denio crtic voters the administration is indebted for its victory. Probably Senators (Denio ccratic) who assisted Mr. Hayes and Secre tary Sherman did what was best is a party view of the all'air. Senator Morgan on Monday finuhed his speech on the Edmunds' resolutions, Sen ator Bayard spoke on the same nubject yesterday, and Senator Edmunds, o-day Senator I ly to will speak. The delate let us hope, will be of interest to posterity. Just now it seriously interferes with the public business. This public business, by the way, ought to be nearly or quite all over by this time. As it is, the most important of it reii.tins. There is much talk of necessity of an extra session. There will certainly be prolonged discussion over the sundry civil apprecia tion bill and the legislative, executivi and judicial, as both parties will seek to accom plish general legislation by means of arund ments to the bills, and an extra session may be a necessity. Various propositions have been made for raising money to pay the fifty or sixty mil lions needed to carry out the "arrears" por tion of the late pension bill. It is under stood that from five to ten millions will be appropriated during this session for the pur pose, and the balance as it becomes neces sary. One result of the bill is a greatly increased number of applications for pension under the general 'aw. Many arc applying now that they will re ceive pension, if at all, back to-date ot dis charge, who had not thought it worth vhile to do so before. The first payment of any pensioner, applying at this time, amid hardly be less than three hundred dolars. A portion of tho Potter committee ! left here last night for New York to exajnine witnesses iu connection with tho celebrat ed cipher telegrams. Mr. Tilden win be invited to make a statement and M ssrs. .Marble, Potter and Smith Weed will tijtify. Probably this investigation will be closed next week. In the home yesterday there were sacral suggestions made as to a reduction if the army. None of them received a majority of votes. The army will remain at iboiit !l"),tt0() for one year longer. Two reports have just been presenjed to the senate from the committee on eleu'tions, one, by the majority, which declares 1'orbin entitled to ti seat as senator from fcouth Carolina, and the other declaring tin M.

Boschec's German Syrup has gained the largest sale m the world for the cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung Dis eases. It is Dr. Boschec's famous German pre scription, and is prepared with the greatest care, and no fear need be entertained in ad ministering it to the youngest child, as per directions. The sale ol this medicine is unprecedented, Since first introduced there has been a constant increasing demand and without a single report of a failure to do its work in any case.
