CAIRO CONSERVATORY OF MUsIC.
Its Prosress ana Prospects.


In September, 1869, Prof Blaisdell, under
the direction of the New York Conserva-
tory, established tho
CAIRO CONSERVATORY or MUSIC.
The school did not open under very bright
auspices, As there were but
SIX SCHOLARS
in attendance. The number was gradu.
ally increased, however, and during the
year and . half that has elapsed since its
opening
SIX HUNDRED PUPILS
have received instruction at the Conserva-
tory. During this time eight ladies' have
assisted a. teachers.
Last month some
IMPORTANT cHASoEs
we're made, and the school will be conduct
ed on somewhat different plan than has
been pursued previously, and one which
II is hoped will prove beneficial.
the SESSIONS,
therefore, including ten weeks, will run
only through the month, pupils psyin 6 by
the month.
Mr. HIDDEN,
Of Cincinnati, has purchased the appur.s-
nsnces and belongings ofthe Conservatory,
and his daughter,
MISS HIDDEN,
will take her place as permanent assistant
70 Prof Blaisdsll, who will continue as
Director Of the school. Miss Hidden
comes 70 Cairo highly recommended as
most accomplished pianist, and will de-
vote her best energies 70 the advancement
Of her pupils.
AYEAR's TUITION
at the Conservatory will cost about so
for instrumental music. For instrumep.
tai and vocal music, the tuition will no.
exceed $50 per year.
The Conservatory Of Music is q very
deserving institution and one which We
hope will DO sustained by our citizens. 1t
places . good musical education within the
means Of nearly every one.
PROV. BLAIsDEtL
had liberal Offers from neighboring towns
on the river TO locate the Conservatory
with them, but believing that Cairo needed
and would sustain II, he "cast his lines
with US, and so far has found It very pleas
ant in every pint ofview.
TIE ROOMS OF THE coSsERvAroRr
are pleasantly situated on Commercial
avenue, and are very comfortably
furnished for their peculiar use. They arc
warmly carpetcd, light and pleasant.
Summers pianos are used in the school and
Prof Bla,sdell and his proficient assistant
are always present, to overlook not only
the study bu. the practice Of tho pupils.

The vidalia Herald II theeighth instant
has the following editorial:
Itis,with feelings of considerable inter
est that We await The result Of the inter
view between Prelad4bt Grant and our dele
mOval of those United States officers in New
Orleans who committed the fragrant out
rage against the liberties of the people and
the fundamental principles Of our party, on
the occasion Of the recent State convention.
By private adyices, a. wen as by tele-
grams to the press, We learn that an inter
view will be held this week, and before an
other issuA the effect of the meeting be-
tween the President and our delegated will
be made known. 1t is not without the linn
Its Of conjecture to judge what the result
may be, inasmuch 8 it can not have es-
capped the attention of the President that
not only the Republican party Of Louisiana,
but the entire Union demand that these Dol.
troons be summary dismissed. We do not
believe the President viii care to turn q
deaf ear to the unanimous protest, no mat
ter what relation he may sustain toward
the Offending parties, and if he do care, will
The Republican party of the South is no
chick, relying upon the wing Of the mother
for protection. It is a full dedged bird,
capable Of directing it, own flight, and will
have . controlling voice in the next Presi-
dental conyention. II il well understood
that General Grant VIII be candidate be-
fore that convention,. and if he do not
promptly punish the 0ffense committed
against both party and people, at the New
Orleans Cust0mhQt6eb can he reasonably
expect support lfsussA people SO sinned
against! Certainly nOt! The offense of it
self, with no refersncetewhat policy might
dictate, is worthy Of swift and certain pun
ishment, and in this case we are clearly of
the opinion that policy does not vary in its
demand from simple. unrestralned justice.
More than this can not be said until fun adj
vices from Washington are received.
