INTERESTING TEA PARTY.
The Mayor presented and read the fol-
lowing veto Of resolutions 8 and q;
Returned for the reason that I under
stand that . petition was circulated and
extensively endorsed by the citizens Of
Cairo, praying for the re-establishmento Of
the Market House, presented to the City
Council, and by them referred to the Com {.
mitteo on markets. That Committee has
not as yet reported, and as believe that a
large majority Of the community are In

proper that We should await hnal action,
giving tho people fair and impartial
hearing before resorting TO hasty and ar
bitrary measures to defeat their wishes.
