DAILY CAIRO BULLETIN: A fnecrro received quite a severe thumping up town Saturday night for re fusing to pay hi debts. He is a teamster for Ilalllday Bro's, and did not cause the arrest of his assailant. Messrs. Frank Metcalf, George Frazier, Frank Walker and Guy Morse, who left yesterday morning, for Beech Ridge, on a coon hunt and electioneering tour com bined, will return to-day.

The Roosters will meet with the young men of tho Third ward in the Hibernian's engine house, to-night at which time and place a Hancock and English club named the "Sweepers," will be organized. Thus the good work goes steadily on. When, upon inquiry after a young lady's health, we learn from her own lips that she is "nicely," we know that sho was born in New England, and that she would be "purty well" out west, and "tolerable" in the south. A thousand pounds of note, letter statements and bill-heads, Quaker City best papers in the market, pure linen fibre, pure Irish linen, white and colored poster, light and heavy linen, azure, yellow, cream, etc., just received at The Bulletin office The flower garden of Mr. Jno. Sproat is one ot the most magnificent in this or any other city. He has spent much time and money upon it and not without effect for it is very justly the pride of the neigh borhood in which he lives. No flag pale will be erected in the custom house yard before the election. The Republicans have decided to turn that job over to the Democrats after election well knowing that the "copper-heads" will have possession of the custom house after that time. Father Maher, a Catholic priest who came here a short time ago from Paducah, Ky., and being an invalid,enteredthehospit al, died suddenly and unexpectedly yester day evening at about seven o'clock, He had been tenderly cared for by the sisters; was able to stand a drive occasionally, and was expected to be entirely recovered in a short time. He passed away very quietly. We have it from tolerable good author- ity that the material of the Cairo Evening Sun was yesterday sold to the Messrs. Joy, who will issue the first number under the head of "The News" this evening.What Mr. Davis will devote himself to in the future we do not know; but hope that he will re- main in our midst and wish him success in whatever he may engage. It may sound strange to say so, but 'tis a fact, that two souls with but a sinsle thought were made one flesh and blood in the most approved manner, by Squire Os born yesterday forenoon. The couple hailed from Missouri. The lady's name was Delphia Mayberry, aged twenty-one years; and the gentleman's name was John Brown and was twenty-rave years oia. Alter tne Mmmnnr tho .nnnio trvit n cTi-nriinn nn v " the ferryboat for the Missouri 6hore. A number of negroes, some of them from Missouri and other emnlorea of one of our river crafts, got into an argument about politics on the corner of Fourteenth and Washington yesterday and were about to exchange blows when the angel of peace, Mr. Joe Roneker, quieted the mob. The difficulty arose from the fact that some ot the darkeys were Democrats and expressed their opinions a little too treely to satisfy their Republican listeners. Harry Walker's Comique showed last night to an immense house and to an ap preciative audience. A number ot new stars among whom may be mentioned Con- ncrs and McBride and the Campbell sisters, made their first appearauce on the Cairo stage and gave unbounded satisfaction The Comique, under the wide-awake man agement of Mr. Walker, is prospering and deserves to be liberally patronized so long as it is conducted in the quiet and orderly manner it now U. On to-morrow morning Mr. Chas. Pfifferlinjr will have on tap some more of his celebrated XXX Salwater beer for the benefit of an appreciative public. A spe cial received in this city last night, from Dr. Tanner, conveys the intelligence that he will arrive here immediately after his forty day's fast to regain his powers and former proportions on Charley's beer. That he will not be disappointed is the general ver dict of the best physicians, who pronounce the beer the purest in the market ami per fectly wholesome. Mr. A. II. Irvin was out on our streets ai;in yesterday, supporting iiimsoit witu a cane. lie is nr as seriously mjurea as was tit first supposell, but nevertheless received some very bal bruises.

As it is lie will ILVe to bo our next circuit clerk. 1 Tho folio vlng from the spoech of Hon. John II. Obeily, our next secretary of state, delivered at Decatur, has tho right spirit! "Wo havo advanced fifteen years from TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3, 1330. the war of the rebellion, and to-day, on the soil of every battlo-fleld of tho great con flict, the grass is springing, herds are feed ing, husbandmen are working, and tho sun is shining in golden quietness. Nature has forgotten the conflict. But tho Republican party, less kind than nature, has not forgot ten it, and to-day hangs over the bloody memories of that disastrous period, like an old grandmother crooning over a child and rocking it affectionately to and fro." A gentleman traveling for a Cincinnati grocery house, who was here yesterday, states that in the establishment he repre sents are employed thirty-six men in differ ent capacities all Republicans but who will vote the national Democratic ticket this year. Such bits ot news are, iu them selves, insignificant from a Republican standpoint, but when it is remembered that it comes Irom the good old Republi can stronghold, the cradle of Garfield, their candidate for president, it gains in im portance and will form one of a great nunv ber of very bitter pills, in swallowing which the Republican party will distort its phiz horribly. We take the following account of the sinking of the towboat Resolute and barze of era vel, from the Argus : "Last night at eleven o'clock the towboat Reso lute, belonging to the Loudons, with a tow of gravel and stone Irom Memphis, landed at the box factory, ine lanamg was scarcely made when the watchman called out that the barge alongside the boat and xt to tne suore wu uMug,uu m . moments it went down, in uoing so u dashed against the side of the Resolute and stove a hole in her hull from which she sunk quickly. She lies on her larboard side, and so completely tipped over that the edge of the hull on the starboard side is out. She is insured for $3,500 with Louis Shald- cross' agency, in Louisville. The stories concerning the disaster are all substantially the same, but one feature related by some who saw it is entirely new and hard to be lieve. They say that after the barge went down she blew up, sending a blew flame high in the air. This they suppose to be the effect of air confined in the hull be- neata the heavy gravel and the incoming water. Diver Hiram Hill will no doubt be or jered to the wreck by Mr. Shallcross to- dav, with the wrecking boat Charley nill. XJntil an examination is male it will be im possible to say whether she can be raised or not." Stephen A. Douglas has two sons. Onn of them was lately in this city and talked klu-klux and waved thcjbloody shirt from the Tenth stxeet music stand, in the most silly and disgusting manner. Shortly after his arrival here he became intoxicated and, at one of our saloons, surrounded by prominent Republicans, proposed some of tue mtniest toasu ui n puwm: r iue human mind to conceive. In fact we doubt whether it is possible for any other mind, however corrupt, to frame words which would at all comparo with the nasty utterances of this champion of Republican ism. He was drunk when he made his harangue and after having finished it im mediate v "took in tue town, lie went . . , to one of our saloons and the proprietor ae- sirlDStl3 PlaJ" aJoke oa him nilea, a w Deer S'ass' w,uc'1 ue w which held a gallon, with beer, and placed it before him. Douglas raised it to his mouth and drank the entire contents without saying a word. This alone stamped him as a hog, but from here, in eompany with a few chums, he visited the haunts ot wickedness and dens of crime which disgraces the lower portion of our city. la one ot these he stayed during the night, paying twenty-five dollars for the privilege, and missed the train in the morning This is one of the Douglas brothers. The other is un- kaowncd. If he is alive, he has no douot chosen honorable obscurity preference to questionable notoriety. The Bentoa Standard has the follow- in? to sav concerning the treatment our CDlored people have receive at tho hands of our white Republicans: Why, when Cul lum so loves the negro does his party iu this state steadily refuse to let the negroes have any of the offices; at Cairo, when thv Rcpublicsa convention met, the negroes de manded recognition, and were insultingly refused, yet the negro vote alono gives that district its republican majority. Capt. Thcrftaswas elected by the negro vote. There is 1,000 Democratic majority in the ISth district, if tho negro vote is excluded, and if the negroes go Democratic tho ma jority would lead up to 4,000 for the demo cratic ticket, x et the negroes were post tively told that they should not have office, They must be content to elect their white Radical misters. This is not bulldozin them out of their rights! O, no. Yet if it W!w done by the Democratic party ot tue 8oUtu a shiver of horror would pass through the breast of every office holder in the n0rtii. The theory of tho Republicans seems i,n flit liita-inn a-Mm ll,,miirr'itn and ( rfmlJ whito Republicans aud negroes the white should rule. Good pious logic truly. Tho attempts of dishonest men and their dupes to besmear the name of Jno. H. Oberly, rebound with destructive forco upou tho calumniatiors. However much these would-ba public teachers have racked their brains and pried into tho records, both public and private, to discover, if possible, a single thread out of which to weavo a net for his capture, or to disclo30 tho smallest pebble upon which to rest charges in any degree prejudicial to his good name, they have so far met only with the bitterest disappointment. Whenever they fancied themselves firmly planted upon truth, their foundation has beon suddenly knocked from" under them, leaving them flat upon their backs, in the midst of the miry pool of their own creation, into which they sought to drag tho unsullied name of Mr, Oberly. Theso men must have learned by this time that their efforts are fruitless and that our can didate for secretary of state is invulnerable. The "statements" we published iu Sun day's Issue cleared him of tho charge which had been mado and reiterated with great pomp in many parts of the state and whieh was made with such assumed gravity and such an air of confidence and self-satisfaction that persons who did not know better believed the charge true. But the people in general will not allow them selves to bo deceived even by tho faultless mask of the hired calumniator. They are too well acquainted with the labors and record ot Mr. Oberly to bo influenced by anything prejudicial to him that may be concocted. Hancock's letter of accept ance, published in Sunday's issue of The Bulletin, will give the Re publican organs a good deal of worry. It placates no disgruntled factions as Gar field's did, because there are no dis gruntled Democrats aud, besides, Hancock isn't that kind of a man, His letter is characteristic of him ; it is frank and with out the suspicion of double dealing. He accepts the platform which the Cincinnati convention placed before the American people as the creed of the Democratic party. Throughout the letter there runs a lofty, national spirit that will thrill the country. In the words "the time lias come to enjoy the substantial results of reconciliation" is to be found the key note of the campaign. The Republican party has sought, nad still seeks, by every means in its power, to awaken the slumbering passions of the civil war. Gen. Hancock emphatically and eloquently says that, in order to enjoy the full measure of the prosperity which circumstances con spire to give us, we must put behind us the animositic-3 bora of civil strite and seek to build up American interests at home and abroad. . That is the law and the gos pel of American progress. General Han cock's splendid war record is an ample guarantee of his sincerity when he declares his intention, as Chief -Magistrate, to main tain the integrity of the Union iuviolate. The declaration ia favor of a free ballot is dignified, but positive. The importance of of the maintenance of State rights to the integrity of the Union is set forth so plainly t'.iat the dullest cannot fail to Understand. It is hardly to be supposed that the most in sensate Republican will dare to make him self ridiculous by attempting to identifyGen. Hancock with the revival of the dead doc trine of secession. It is high time that the fundamental principles of the government should once more bear their rightful sway. It is high time that the Republican party, made reckless by too long a lease of power, should be driven into opposition. It is high time a man, above suspicion, should be seated, by an overwhelming majority ia the presidential chair. Evidently, the hour and the man have come. A FALsE RUMOR CORRECTED. As it is generally known, tor the past eighteen months, a colored man, named A. G. Leonard, has been an employe of Toe Bulletin office. He was given employ ment by Mr. Burnett, the publisher, solely because he was reccommendod as a compe tent workman and entirely regardless of his color or the political opinions he enter tained. Mr. Leonard proved all and more than was expected and being accommodat ing and a g'.-ntleman in his deportment, gave entire satisfaction and enjoyed the esteem of his employer and all the men with whom lie came in contact. On Saturday night last, a misunder standing occured between Mr. Leonard and the foreman of tho newsroom, under whom he worked, which resulted in Mr. Leonard, of his owa accoru, quitting tho office. No sooner had he done so than tho report was circu latcd that "the colored man who worked in Tue Bulletin office had been discharged for being a Republican." Mr. Leonard denied tho truthfulluess of the report in the clearest of terms but Radical tongues continued to spread it with so much more induitry, entirely disregarding his statement to the contrary, in order to "fire tho negro heart" and make politica capital out of it. Mr. Leonard being too intelligent am: honest aniautocouatenancesuch perversion has written tho following statement in or dor that tho public may bo informed of tho truth : Cvtito, Ills., August 3d, 1880. Editor Bulletin: Dear Sin As thero seems to be a rumor afloat that I havo been discharged from service in your office, in justico to you and the publisher, Mr. Burnett, I only wish to saj that I w.i not discharged from service by any one, but quit of my own accord. Since I first entered The Bulletin office I havo been treated by those in authority with tho utmost respect. I havo nothing whatever to say against the establishment at this time. On the entrance of a great political campaign wo are too willing to misconstrua rumors. Tho difficulty which arose last Saturday was, as I am willing to term it, purela personal matter between myself and tho foreman of the newsroom and I do not wish to incur the til- feelings of my former employer, whom I deem in every respect a gentleman, and I can say tho same of the editor, Mr. Thielecke. I was hired on' account of my ability as a workman, not for a political purpose, that is, I have never been so informed. I desire the re spect of the aboro named gentlemeu, Now,I hope all who have been misinformed on this point will please read and pay no attention to what any gossiper may say in the future about this matter, for I will at- ways nold myseii reauy to couiniuict it over my signature. Yours, A. G. Leonard. A FEW FITTING WORDS CONCERNING oun next president's LET1ER or ACCEPTANCE. Editor Bulletin: The American people are happy and rejoice in their heart of hearts to read the letters of acceptance of Hancock and English. The ringing tones ot the able documents come like a tidal wave; yea,likc an overwhelming deluge, or a ruthless avalanche, upou the Republican party. It has hurled their an ticipated prospects of mis-rule and pleasure into an irretrievable whirlpool of destruc tion. It rings out the glad news, in sweet symphomous sounds, to the American peo- ; pie, and to the civilized world, that they : shall once again enjoy their untrammelled rights under the constitution of i the United States of America as ! our fathers gave it to us, : together with all lawful amendments. That the thirteenth, fourteeoth.and fifteenth amendments are inviolable and that tho stars and stripes, the flag of our country, shall be respected on the high seas, and in every clime. There is nothing left for the Democrats to do but to march on with the God-given banner of victory unfurled to the breeze, crviug glory, glory, wane tue gates ot heaven, stand ajar, and the departed spirits of Washington, Calhoun, Webster, Jackson, Clay, Lincoln, Sumner and Greeley, look over the battlements ot the eternal throne, and watch the pure and noble Hancock float like a sea of glory into the presidential chair, before the en chanted view of millions of beholders.

Piease ask "Grandpa" if he will be so kind as to give us a little advice through the columns of your interesting paper, in regard to raising girls. We were so f well pleased with his last communication, that we take him to be a very sensible old gentleman, and would like to hear from him often. Mother. Cairo, III., August 1st, 1890.

Hays has written and com posed the words nud music of a national song and chorus, entitled "Hancock is the JIan." It will bo published in a few days by Geo. D. Newhall & Co., Cincinnati. It is said to bo ono of Col. Hays' most happy and effective efforts. Tho following is the first verso and chorus of the song: Cnmo mlly 'ronnd the good old Has, The North, South, East and West, And lot all honont Democrats Who lovo their country best, Rejoice to know the tlmo has come When wn mast take our stand And shout aloud: "Iluaaal hnMSt" For Hancock is the man, cuobus: We'll Rlvo three cheers for flancock, And three for English, too, Wll gather "round tho good old flag, The red, white and olue.
