If "the people want to know, why in

have observed the pedpie are quite inditfer-
ent and don't care whether they "know,'
or don't ''know.'
For the qualification of our ncighbor
who unlike the people, appears quite
anxiouf to "know,' we will observe that
we don't "know" who objected to colorcd
votes because tho names Of the voters Of
fering them were not registered, but We 10

fuss about it, the only person that "put
himself out any to secure the colored men
in their "rights," was n lifelong, hard

B,SlNEss or THE CITY.

Business is rather dull in the city, just
now, in all departments. This is owing
chiefly to the fact that the farmers Of the
surrounding country are putting in every
hour OF their time in preserving their
wheat and oat crops and in caring for their
growing corn. Very few Of them have
yet realized anything from their
wheat, and, Us q consequence,
are not in funds.
As those causes are OF = temporary char
actcr the depression Of business will be
temporary. By the first Of August trade
will be greatly revived in all its branches.
The condition of affairs that constitutes
dull business in Cairo, would be considered
marvellous activity in ncighboring cities.
Take Cairo to-day, and therc is not n town
between Louisville and New Orleans that
presents more evidence Of life and thrift.
No less than ten or fifteen daily, tri-week-
ly and scmi-wcckly steam packets make
this the terminal point ofthcir trade. These
and II dozen transient steamers land
freight and passengers on our wharf every
hour of the day drays may be seen in every
part of the city conveying goods and pro-
ducc 10 and from our business houses and
the wharf; flour goes out on orders by the
thousand barrels every day; our steam ferry
boat comes and goes fully frcightcd and
passcngcrcdi and the stranger
visiting our city would scarcely
find out that bushes, Is
dull unless told so. Yet brisk rs our bust
ness affairs may seem to strangers they are
comparatively speaking, Of courscJ de-
pressed. a, the cure is near ut hand, how
ever, our citizens can afford to wait for it,
and '"iU wait whether they can afford TO
