all possible dispatch.
TIC place the society in an effective work

One OF these purposes being to bring the rich
hills aud valleys of lower Egypt, now lying
wild and neglected, into state OF successful

Tn. New Council.

The citizens of Cairo have occasion TO con-
graduate themselves upon the superior talent,
called by the election yesterday, to the iegs'
lative department of cur city government
The six gentlemen comprising tho SOLICIT
council are substantial property holders,
first class business men, and possessed OF that
sound Judgment, discretion and forecast that
render them Invaluable in their present posi-
ton. They have no interests or aspirations
that in any manner clash with the interests OF
Cairo, and are sminently practical men IN
thought and action. Their names are as fol-
lows From the city at large, Geo. ID. VIII
hanson and William Martin FIRST ward,
James S. Rearden Second Ward, +. w. Bar
clay; Third Ward, 7. OCallahani Fourth
Ward, Louis Jorgensen. .I.f..,
The remarks applied to the members OF the
select council apply with equal force TO the
members of the board Of aldermen elected.
They are for the people, and will honestly Ia
Dor for the welfare of the city. Their names
are as follows: First Ward +. Theobold
Second Ward, II. NJ. Hulen, vacancy John
w. Mckee; Joseph Mendel; THIRD ward
William Lonergan, George W. HendrlekS

The select council, the entire board of alder
men and every officer of the city, are demo-
cratic in politics-the radicals having been
routed, "horse, foot and Dragons"

United States Railroad Conductors Life
Insurance Company.

This excellent organization among the rail-
road conductors of the United States now
numbers seventeen hundred members, and
will soon embrace every man pursuing that
calling who entertains Il prudent thought of
the future.
As an indication of its value TO the widow
and orphan we recite the fact that on the 10Th
inst, Theodore y. Corwin, of the Toledo
Wabash and Western railroad, was shot and
killed by passenger whom he attempted to
eject from the cars for refusing to pay his fare.
Mr.. Corwn WAS II member of this Insurance
Company and already have we seen a notice
to the forty-fve conductors of the Illinois
Central railroad to forward their dollar, each,
for the benefit Of Mr.. Corwns family The
total amount it twill come into possession
of is sl,7oO-a grateful help TO family in
Strengthened circumstances. The whole
amount will be collected and paid over TO
Mrs Corwin within two weeks from the date
Of her husbands death. The Institution en-
braces roads extending from Maine to Geor-
gia yet the longest time involved in coll
Letting and paying over benefits is sixteen
days. Lite Insurance companies on other
plans ordinarily require from sixty to ninety

A Dnnyrrnu. Hack Rnacal.

There Is . shrewd colored scamp, known As
"Frenchy,' who frequcnts our wharfboats,
IN pursuit Of Ais ne!aTiOus calling rs II swnd-
Ter, gambler and confidence man On Sun
day last strange man and woman we're sc-
co'ted By this negro, who inquired if they
desired hotel. The strangers replied that
they did, but a. their means were limited they
would l., 20 put up at cheap house The
party left the whari-bOst headed by tho
negro; bu, not unseen by boy who knew
the negrOs character, and felt assured that it
wa his purpose to beguile the strangers out
70 the negro quarters, where he and his con-
fcdera,os would rob them He therefore fol-
lowed them, until no doubt was left as 10 tho
purpose Of the negro, when he boldly stepped
Up 10 the strangers and warned them TO pro-
coed no further, as the negro was notorious
rascal, and was taking them out Of the way to
rob them. Taking the boys advice the man
and woman returned to the wharf-boat, leav-
ing the negro in high state Of rage, and
threatening most yehemently that he would
have that boys hearts blood.
The same negro was sent TO Jail some time
ago for prsetieiEg bis confidence game upon
a iot VI groom stThIlpeTsi out no nus not Dcen
detected in 1.-THE of his villainy for the rea-
con that he changes hi, clothing every day,
thu Guiding the vigilance Of the police
But the path Of Frenchy is not strewn 9th
rose, notwithstanding his success in avoiding
the punishment due TO his acts OF villainy.
Two or three days ago u gentleman came
down from Nashville with . gang Of men for
the ievce work south He WAS plain look
ing man, roughly dressed, and Just the fellow
Frenchy thought, to bite at his bsits. He &C.
cordingly approached tho 'sovsrssor,n took q
seat by him, laid down = card with q Ave cent
piece on II, and proposed to bet The over
seer looked at the impudent darksy moment
and then, without saying word, jerked apis
from his side coat pocket, and with u crush
ing force brought the butt Of il down on
frehehy's Uranium. That it was necessary
tor the stranger to tell the negro twice, to
get out o that" need not be supposed, for
such was not the case. He left the strange,
With far less ceremony than he approached
him.
We hope the police win keep q .harp sy,
on this fellow. II is the tricks u.on strsnvar
prscticed by the shsrpers who loaf about on
whsrves and depots, that have created in IN,
minds OF some people that Cairo is .lmost a
bad q place as Memphis or Psducsh.

"Let Us Have Peace,

Well the election ID over, and we are sim
cerely and heartily glad of it. If any body
intends to "whae us for our part in it, we
ask that he use Greatness and dispatch" that
we may be entirely through with the thing.
We want peace. Let us have it. And now
to hasten the advent of that "white-wnged
messenger" we will say that, if we have in
suited any man, scandalized any man. SLAM
dered any man, we shall hold ourselves in
readiness to accept apologies however humble,
at any time between ten and four o'clock.
And that the whole excitement may be allay-
cd in the shortest possible manner, We have
printed two thousand blank excuses and
apologies, two forms of each. A free inter-
change of these, with blanks properly filed,
will have decidedly oily effect upon our
agtated political waters.
Blank No. is to be used where the lie has
passed. No. 2, is TO be oxscted from any
gentleman who has tweaked your nose. No.
3, is an apology for general cussednoss and
disposition to break things. No. is con-
when they ought not to have been like they
were when they were 80, and that il is not to
be expected that they were otherwise when
they were so, and cannot be If they did, why,
then, why DO it so, if they were so2
Gentlemen whose anger is not molifable

vslopments of the canvass lie is mad about

Remarkable Quiet.

The election yesterday wa. characterized
by quiet which, considering the exciting
causes At work during the day, was most re-
markable. A few persons appeared at the
different. places Of voting who were lit
tie fatigued from practice Of that part Of
light gymnastics that Evolved q frequent
crooking OF the elbow, but we saw nobody
uproariously or decidedly drunk hoard no
angry alterations, and if any disturbances Of
any kind marred the dignity and peace of the
day knowledge Of them has not reached us.
There were, ofcourse, loud and probably ear
nest passes between the partizans OF oppo,-
ing candidates, but none Of these seemed inn
Uttered in tho least by anger.
The polls were closely watched both tick
c;s being represented by competent and, gem
orally, good natured challengers; so If any
illegal votes were cast they were certainly so
nearly facsimiles of the genuine a to deceive
the best judges.
We refer to the good order Of yesterday,
with feelings Of pride. Voters rad access "a

We are afraid Mr.. G.. Hog has lied. He
told us, in his peculiar style, on the second
day Of February, that the winter was over.
Now, We ask Mr.. G. II. what kind OF wealth
or did we have yesterday and the day preyi-
ous?' If it was not winter weather We will
swear it was the hottest Of summer. Go TO,
G. H., you're a humbug, and the only chance
for you to escape the imputa,ion is to declare
that 'it was such a short BIT OF winter that it
ought not to count" Yes we acknowledge it
was short, "but remarkably brilliant and
keen.
The sun has been shining clearly all day,
and the snow has almost entirely disappeared.
The temperature, which was as low As "a yss-
terday morning, has risen TO over 40 to-day,
and, very probably, VIC have really seen the
last Of winter for the season. At least we
hope so, for II was n sorry sight yesterday
morning to sue our garden shrubbery and
willow trees covered with green leaves, and
four inches Of snow on the ground beneath
them.
The Mississippi is about stationary at st.
Louis, and navigation to points above that
city as well us on the Missouri has come TO
sudden stand still on account Of the late sud.
den change Of weather, which has filled those
rivers with ice. The ice is not heavy enough
below st. Louis to interfere with navigation,
and it i. probable II will only last a few DAYS
in the rivers above.
The Ohio is falling from Evansville 10 Ma.
rietta, but rising again from thence to Pitts
burg. There is eight feet water reported on
on the falls at Louisville, and nine feet water
in the channel TO Pit.sburg. The Monongs.
hela is rising rapidly, and several feet more
water is expected at Pitt.burg.
Here the river is nearly stationary, but has
fallen about two inches during the past three
days.
Business has not been so good as for some
days past.
