PERSONAIi MATTERS.
( V Word or Two About the People Wc Know.
Col. Winston and 'Squire Jorgcnatn
are absent at Chicago on Masonic business.
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

Tho sidewalks on tho cross streets,
between Washington and Comraorclab

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!
Charge them with all kinds of iniquities
falshood, treachery, robbery, but don't

A PETITION.
HOW ALL PILOTS MAT KNOW THE ItlVF.n
THE SUGGESTION OP A PHACTICAIILE
PLAN CAPT, SCOTT TO TIIK RESCUE.
Tho following Is the text of 11 tietltlon
being circulated by tho author, 01ms. M.
Scott, un old pilot and boatman, now in
this city. 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
