sand copies, the paper would prove self
sustaining. After the lapse Of ak
months, however, we find ourselves cir
culating, In the city, only about one
half the expected number OF copies,
which secures US weekly income in
sufficient to pay for the blank paper and
to meet the expense Of delivery. One
thousand daily subscribers cannot be
secured Ia Cairo; and, indeed, we do not
know that one hundred names can be
added to our present list. Under this
condition of things We are compelled to
add i've cents per week 10 the price Of
subscription, making At twenty cents per
week instead OF fifteen, as heretofore.
This increase, while 1t will prove almost
imperceptible to the subscriber, will
furnish an aggregate OF much conse-
quence to US. hbfas
Experience had taught us that there is
no money in the publication Of a daily
paper In Cairo, aud In establishing the
Bulletin We anticipated nothing beyond
the mere support of the paper. With
this We should have been content, but
our receipts falling below that point, we
are driven TO an advance in price that
will cover the weekly deficiency. The
Bulletin is still furnished at lower
price than any other newspaper, and be.
ing especially devoted TO Cairo, Cairo
people, Cairo projects and concerns, it
should not only maintain Its present SUBJ
scription, but find its way into the hands
of every reading familyin the city. Be
ii understood, then, that from and after
Monday next, the, price of the Cairo
Bulletin will be twenty cents per week,
payable to the carrier every Monday. 20

Tbe Amnesty REORGANIZATION.
The President transmitted the following

The President transmitted the following
message TO the Senate yesterday: h
70 the Senate of tie United States:
The resolution adopted on the 9Th instant,
requesting the President to transmit to the
Senate copy Of any proclamation Of amnesty
made by him since the last adjournment OF
CONGRESS, and also to communicate to the Sen
ate by what authority of law the same was
made, has been received
accordingly transmit herewith a copy OF
proclamation dated the 25th day of December
last The authority of law by which it was
made is set forth in the proclamation itself,
which expressly affirms that it was issued by
virtue of the power and authority in me vested
by the Constitution, and in the name OF the
sovereign people of the United States, and
proclaims and declares Internationally, and
without reservation, to all and to every person
who directly or indirectly participated In the
late instruction or rebellion, iull pardon and
amnesty for the offence of treason against the
United States, or of adhering to their enemies
during the late civil war; with restoration of all
rights, privileges, and immunitles under the
Constitutions and the laws which have been
made In pursuance thereof.
The Federal Constitution IS understood to
be, and is regarded by the Executive, as the
supreme law of the land The second section
of article second Of that instrument provides
that the President "shall have power to grant
reprieves and pardons for offences against the
United States, except in cases of impeach-
ment" The proclamation of the 25th ultimo
is in strict accordance with the judicial exposi-
tons of the authority thus conferred upon the
Executive and, as will be seen by reference
to the accompanying papers, is in conformity
with the precedent established by Washington
10 1895, and followed by President Adams in
1900, Madison in 1915 and Lincoln in 1868,
and by the present Executive in 1865, 1867,
and 1868. ANDREW JOHNSON.

In this city, on Tuesday morning, January s.
beloved wife Of Geo. K. Vii
liams, in the 9th year of her age.
Sister, thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze
Pleasant as the air of evening
When it floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our number,
Thou no more our songs shall know.
Dearest sister thou hast left US,
Here thy loss we deeply feel
But It's God that hath bereit us,
He can all our aorrows heal.
Yet again we ope to meet thee.
When the day of life is fed
Then in heaven with JOY to greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed.

COTTON MANUFACTURE IN THE SOUTH-
Ever since the close of the war we have been
fully impressed with the importance to the
South Of engaging in manufactures as soon as
she should recover from her pecuniary depres
sion, with her general prosperity restored
through the agency of her valuable products.
The success of the cotton planters during the
past season is highly gratifying, and their pros
pect for the future is most cheering. The
whole people of the South have cause for en-
couragement 10 the fattering views ahead !;
and there is no better time than the present
in which to consider how much they may add
to their real prosperity by establishing cotton
manufactures in their midst, and acting upon
the result of their convictions. 1t is worse
than folly in them to continue to pay tribute
to New England, wheG the means of convert
ing their own products into manufactured ar
ticles are at hand, which would secure to them
the profits they annually permit to pass into
the Golfers of Others We have it in our power
to monopose the growth as we'll as the nu
facture of the staple, and to secure to Ourselves
the immense profit arising from both.--Atlan.

Foreign News.

The French Chambers opened yesterday with
speech by the Emperor. He congratulated
the members on the strength and harmony of
the nation, which is now ready to meet all
events, the army and navy resources being
complete. He favored discussion, but not touch
ing the constitution, which was above debate.
He concludes "All Governments are liable
to error. Fortune declines to smile on all en-
terprises, but the country knows that there is
no thought nor act of nine which is not given
to the glory of France" la the course OF his
speech, Napoleon said peace had been hereto
fore sought. not because of weakness, but to
sustain the honor Of the State The revolution
in Spain had not altered the good relations of
France with that country. The Conference
which had just terminated its labOrs, and which
would extinguish conflict which had become
imminent, was the last grand act ofimportance
(which all should appreciate. The members OF
that body had all agreed upon principle cal
culated to restore friendship between the Turks
and Greeks If the firm hopes of success which
they entertained should be realized, nothing
would be left to trouble the general harmony
of the nations.
The Porte nstructs his ambassador at Paris
to sign the protocol of the Conference
The gratifying intelligence OF the safe land
ing of the Captain and crew Of the British ship
Southern Empire has been received.
1t is reported that Prince Amadeus Duke
of Aosta, has renounced the Italian succession
in favor Of Princess Clotilde.

In the Girard case, involving some millions
of dollars, the Supreme Court of the U. S, has
rendered a decision against the city of
Philadelphia on the ground that the enlarge
mept Of the city by the consolidation act Of
1854 had rendered the execution of the trust
impossible, and that it must therefore fail, and
the property devised for municipal purposes
revert to the heirs law of the testator,

the benevolent and other devises and requests
of the testator and applies only to those made
for the improvement of Philadelphia within its
ancient bounds.

ALEXANDRIA.

The Washington Chronicle has been author
lied to say in reply to various reports tele-
graphed from Washington about the Recon
struction of Virginia" that the "Senate Judi
ciary Committee have heard the Richmond
Conference Committee patiently and cOurte-
ously, but beyond that nothing has been done"
and no agreement made. And it adds as fol,
lows A distinguished Radical Senator
desires US to say that such thing as uuiyor-
sal amnesty in exchange for universal suffrage
is an impossibiity at present" 1t will thus
be seen that many of the reports circulated as
