Mr. J. B. Fulton, who was ou tho sick list for some time, Is, wo aro glad to sco, himself again. Hon. John H. Mulkcy is in Shawnee town, and in tho only Catro lawyer attend ing tho Gallatin Circuit Court. Gen. Raum, hopoful as Burnsidc con fident that the U. and V. road In which ho has takon such a lively interest will turn up all right is at Shawncotown on pro fessional business. Whllo at Metropolis last Saturday we mat Charles Carroll, of Gallatin mot him for tho first time, and bog leave to say that wo arc very anxious to go our whole pile on him cs a hlgh-tonod and very clever gontloman. Chief Myers and detective Arnold re turned from tho St. Louis police conven tion yestorday morning. They came by the Iron Mountain road, and look as fresh as could bo expected after so protracted a 'siege." Capt. Scott, the steamboat man who Is circulating tho petition which we publish this morning, is a veteran. Ho has labored all his lifo to elevate tho social standing of the class to which he belongs and Is the author of several Important Im provements in river navigation. Ho in vented tho system of stoamboat signals now in use on the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio, and ws first to uso a compass in running from point to point on foggy or very dark nights. Capt. Wm. P. Halllday has been ap pointed by tho governor a director of the Cairo and St. Louis railroad, and so has Judge Crawford, ofUnlon county. Wo hope these gontlcmen and tho other directors may be ablo to stop the clamor of tho men about Cairo who mil tomplain about this road and denounce the men who have been engaged to build it. Col. Charles E. Furlong, of Vlcksburg Miss., sheriff of Warren eoanty, called on us yesterday. The colonol is a carpet bag olhce-holder, nut seems to be a very cloV' or gentleman. Ho has neither a split hoof nor horns, and to all appearances would bo ill adapted to clthor " treason, stratC' gem or spoils. " If tin cobnel is r, spo ctmen carpet-uaggor, a good average wo must take issue with H. Greeley in hts opinion of tho class. The colonel informs us that tho fcoling betwoen tho radicals and democrats is very Intense, and that pooplc of his kind walk In fear and trem bling. If this is so, tho colonel without doubts Injoys the dangers he lives among, and has grown fat and gay a Bacchus all In despite of the terrors of the horrible kuklukklan.

Tho sidewalks on tho cross streets, between Washington and Comraorclab bolow Tenth street, are bolng repaired. A gang is now at work on Eighth street In front of Webb's residence. -Thero Is a very dangerous hole In tho sidowalk on Eighth street, opposite the rerry liouso. un i uoaday evening a lady, carrying an Infant, foil through this hole, and was considerably Injurred, and a few hours before Mr. Beerwart went through it like a thousand of brick. A spike or two, driven In time, might savo tho city theexponscof a law suit and n verdict of damages. Wo are gratified to observe that The Paper has taken up the matter of a sup ply of water for our tiro engines, and Is rapping over tho fingers those Impracti cable asses who will not accept anything that does not sou aro with their Ideas. Cairo has greater demand for water sup ply than any city within the range of our knowledge ; And, at The Paper remarks, a storm of fire will sweep over her some day destroying evory thing, and then the asses will cry : Why was there no water at hand ?" Wo suggested a plan to supply his city with water that was both cheap and practicable, but toeing In the coun cil a disposition to go down on it, wo did not pross it. Now, however is tho time for action, and In tho name of tho proper ty holders of the city we ak the council to tako this matter into serious considera tion. The season of fires is at hand, and water should bo placed conveniently with in tho reach of tho firemen. If tho coun cil cannot build tho conncctod cisterns suggested by us, let ten or twelve addi tional cisterns be built of wood (brick cisterns aro humbugs) and filled by tho steamer, " Jack Winter," which might in this way, be made useful as well as or namental. LOCAL POLITICS. (How the City and County Political Pot is Uoilinc) Mr. Martin, democratic candidate for treasurer and assessor, is gaining friends every day. He will leavo Miller a long distance in the rear. F. M. Ward, who was not nominated for county treasurer by his radical friends, has retired disgusted from tho political field. Ho is nrw devoting his time to wood and coal. Davis of tho Sun, is getting into con dition for a mix in the municipal canvass next spring. He has his caglo eye In the cltv marshalship. Will tho Hev. Mr. Shores support him? Mr. Miller does not mnko a very live lv radical candidate. Ho intonds to trot his colored friends up to tho polls on clcc tion day and voto them, but, wo vonture to say, will not solicit the vote of any of them. He belioves ho owns them. Tho blessed little Sun professes to be- Hove that tho domocrats of Cairo will not support Bowman. Will they snpport Old Nabblcr Mcrtz ? Banish the thought!

Mr. Soott claims In favor f the petition that It Is bused on tho laws uf niivlgutlon In cxlstcnco nil ovor tho civil ized world, that require all navigators to keepn log in which all dangerous obsta cles and nil changes of channel nro accu rately noted down, nnd whon tho navigator nrrlves at any port, to glvo to tho proper officer a transcript from his log, by which means dangers aro Immediately mado known to all Interested. Scott also claims that tho navigation of our rivers Is of as much importance as Iho navigation of the ocean, nnd that all those Interested In river navigation should be required, as by his plan they would be, to furnish to each oth er all tho information thoy may linvo or obtain that will contribute to making tho navigation of rivers less dangerous if not safe. Tho petition is as follows: To the Board of Untied States Supervising Inspec tors : Wo, you petitioners, steamboat owners, captains, pilots nnd others, nil deeply in terested In tho navigation of tho western and southern rivers of tho United States, would respectfully ask of your honorable body to amend tho rules governing pilots by nddlng tho ac:ompanliig rules. Wu bcllove that the constnnt changes in our western rivers require that vhoo navigating thorn should be Informed of all such changes as much as possible, aii'i, that, If a rulo of this kind is adopted and rigid ly enforced, it will do moro to sccuro life and proporty than anything elso that could bo done. A rulo of this kind has nlrcady been adopted by several niociatious, but it has worked Injury to commerce by enabling tho members to combine and extort from owners exorbitant salaries, which exorbi tant rates have a direct tendency to de stroy comtnerco ; nnd tho llcenso system serves only to protect their monopoly but does not make better pilots. Wo believe this rulo will remove all objectionably fea tures in the law as farjas pilots aro concerned and mako it as perfect ns human foresight can make It : RVLE. It shall bo the duty of tho local inspec tors of all districts on tho interior water of tho United State to caue boxe of n sultablo size, with locks on them, to bo put up nt convenient places nlong the river for tho uso of nil pilots ; say On the Mississippi, beginning at New Orleans, mouth of Bed river, Vlcksburg, mouth of Whito river, Memphis, Cairo, St. Louis, Keokuk, Dunlcilb, La Cross and St. Paul; On the Arkansas, nt Litllo Bock ; On White river, at Jacksonport; On tho Ohio, at Paducah, Evansville, Louisville, Cincinnati, Wheeling and Pittt burg; On the Missouri, nt Jetl'urson City, Lex ington, Kansas City and Sioux City; Also, at such other point- ns may be found convenient.
