CAIRO HIGH AND DRY.

The State Journal says: ave regret
to see that Cairo is concerned about an
anticipated overflow at Memphis. Cairo
Is never concerned about herself, how
ever-she Is used to it." The Journal Is
mistaken. Although our city Is so often
abused called death hole and water
afflicted city-the fact is there is not n
healthier place In the world, or city any
where on any water course. so little dis
commoded by floods. The late floods
that have prevailed, have devastated
fields, torn down railroad bridges, ilvad-
ed the streets and houses Of cities and de-
stroyed millions of dollars Of property |;
but 1t has done Cairo no damagc-not to
abe amount of Iven one cent. And yet
papers like the Journal, dealers in stale
wit at our expense, speaking from amidst
waste Of waters, persist in saying Cairo
is being drowned out.

The Great Flood In the WississiDui
valley.
lMemphis Ayalanrhe. |


One of the greatest floods ever known
in the Valley OF the Lower Mississippi
was that in 1858. In many respects it re-
sembled the present high water. About
the middle of May of that wear extensive
rains prevailed in the Ohio Valley and
occasioned much damage by flooding the
small streams. In the States of Ohio, In
diana, Illinois and Missouri the rains
were especially severe, raising the Miami,
wabash and Illinois Rivers TO unprece-
dentcd heights. CopiOIs rains also pre-
vailed west of the Ohio basin, causing Il
rapid rise OF the lower tributaries OF The
Missouri and upper Mississippi rivers.
with the torrents OF rain which poured
into the alluvial region. and the Ohio
and Mississippi both at flood tide. the
water began to assume u threatening
height near the head Of the alluvial re-
gion during the month of June. Be
tween the 10th and 22d of that month
l,i7o,OOO cubic feet of water per second
passed by Columbus, Kentucky, by ac-
tnal observation. Cairo was inundated.
Niles OF insignificant levees were washed
away Inc bottoms of the st. Francis
were deeply overilown, deeper than had
ever been known, the waters pouring
over the banks of the main river and
sWulPs ike great wave, sweeping over
inc lowlands In the valley Of White
river, ana passing with renewed force
upon thc nlluvial region of the lower Mis-
sslsslppi. The Yazoo bottoms were deeply
inundated. The Labranch creyasse, 30
miles above New Orleans, and the Bell
crevassee, just above, and opposite the
same city, submerged the country west
10 bayou Laiourclie. Many plantations
nl0nU the rirnr b.,
covered, and the crops destroyed. The
river, began to decline at Cairo toward
llle close OF June, but the immense body
OF water that drained from the st. Fran
CTS ana NaZoo Valley kept the main
river OF its banks below here until the
Isl OF August. The waters then subsidized
rapidly until they reached the lowest
stage OF the year. The highest level OF
the waters Of that year, according to the
record kept here. was about 6 inches
above the rise Of 1867.

Mr.. DAVIS, OF the San, IN the interest
Of Paducah, or some persons who wish

Mr.. Davis, as an intense advocate of the

can find no excuse. He must have some
object, not In the interest Of the city. In

TINE wOrNu CRY MONUMENT.

We learn from the Pulaski Patriot that
the Mound City soldiers Monument
Commissioners have received the monu.
ment as completed from Messrs. Emery
4 Walton, the contractors TO build, 1t and
that an order has been mad~ by them on
the Treasurer Of the state to pay the con-
tractors their last installmcnt of $4,000.
The Patriot Is of the opinion that the
monument Il by all odds the finest for its
price the editor ever saw. We also are of
the opinion that the monument Is worth
all that II cost. But the Mound City
Journal is of another opinion. That pa
per has charged that two of
the commissioners, Mcssrs. VIII
lis and Iooney. have acted corruptly
In the performance Of their duty, and
have robbed the state of portion OF the
money appropriated for the monument.
The journal has denounced ~ ~ q
winkcr at Radical corruption because we
have failed to also dcDounce the commits
siOners.
Now, therefore, we demand of the JoU'-
nal that it shall abandon It's cowardly
habit of asserting corruption, and give
us the evidence upon which it has made
the charge.
| In what transaction connected with the
building of the monument have the Rad
ical commissioners been corrupt! In
what transaction have they been corrupt
and Capt. Hambleton so honest that hc
has not been party to 1t?
Come, now, Captain Potter, he rs
definite AS possible. We desire to de-
nounce corruption wherever it may lurk.
and you have rebukcd NJ because We
have refused to believe the Monument
Commissioners are rascals. Give III the
evidence of their rascality and we will
denounce them but If You fail to give
satisfactory evidence of the charge, you
must permit us to believe that you have
been guilty Of the mcanness OF trying tc
blackcn the character of men either be
cause they are Republicans or have failcC
to throw plum to You in the way o
printing patronage. You must Prov
that Messrs. Willis and Looney are cor
rupt rascals or stand scli-convictcd rs al
untruthful traducer of honest men. So
out with your evidence of the willis

THE COJ.ORED VOTE IN NORTH
CAROLlNA

MIR. Charles NOr,lhON, In his last let
ter to the New York HeyuH from the
South, gives some interesting particulars
regarding the colored vote OF North Car
olina and how 1t is used and abused by
the Radical party OF that State. Mr..
Nordhof's observations have brought to
his knowledge the peculiar fact that in all
the counties In which the black vote pre-
dominates-and this IL the case In nearly
all-the sherifis and the clerks of courts
are white, while the justices OF the peace
and the members Of the legislature are
usually black men. Mr.. NOrdhofi eX-
plains this In few words. The sheriffs'
and clerks offices are the lucrative places
the justices offices and the legislative
positions are those more Of honor
than pay. The grasping white Radicals
take the places where they are sure to
make money and leave the less profita-
BILE positions to the blacks. The county
commissioners are also always blacks.
The white sherifis make as much money
as possible while holding the offices,
and occasionally lump all the funds In
the treasury, and with them in their
pockets, leave the Offices vacant
The sheriff of Wake county not
long since absconded with forty thou
sand dollars of the peoples money, and
the sheriff Of New Hanover county with
sixty thousand.
Many Of the cities Of North Carolina
have recently adopted new charters, In
order, by new arrangements Of the
wards, to overcome the colored vote.
In this plan, which originated with the
Democrats, the better class of white and
black Republicans acquiesced, and so far
as 1t has been tried, It has caused no dis
satisfaction in any respectable quarter.
Colored as well as white Republicans, says
Mr.. Nordhoff, admitted that the negroes
in few Of the localities could now be con-
trollcd by the better class Of leaders. The
arrangement Of city wards so Us to over.
come the negro majority Is a device
which will he needless by and by, and
will then be easily repealed. Meantime,
1t Is an efiectual means to stop the plum.
dering, which Is injurious not more to
the white property owners than to the
negroes themselves, who are peculiarly
demoralized by the political corruption
Vi which they are the tools.

THE NEW FASHlON BETTER THAN

Not long since, MIR. Henry Watters0n,
editor of the Louisville Courier. Journal,
delivered an address to the students of
the Bloomington, Ind, University. The
morning after delivery the address APP
pearcd in several prominent Western pa
pcrs, showing nearly conclusively that 1t
had been written out and sent in advance
to the editors Of those sheets. This is
probably the reason why the Courier
Journal gives to the following remarks Of
the indianapolis Sentinel: 1.-The modern
fashion Of writing out addresses before
hand, and having til EN- In the possession
Of editors throughout the country
long before the crowd to whom they

less farago Of gush, gable and rodomon-
tade, to be taken down by jack leg
shorthand reporter, and telegraphed oil
| by an idiot ahold Of wire, was by no
means conducive to good sense. The
modern method may have a ten.
dency to repress sky-scraping,
which the Sentinel miscalls Ora
tory, but IT certainly produces an effort
at rejection, and is altogether more accu-
rate and r'eisppnsible than ths hia,p-hazard
'Oratory' Is not sound and fury signify

ed, the offspring Of consideration and
conviction. The rhetoric splendors of the
gentlemen whose bright home was in the
setting sun, have lost thesr magic. Now

WE NATHAN MCRDEH AND THE

The Nathan murder, which startled
the citizens Of New York five years ago,
continues to be, from the impenetrable
mystery which has always surrounded II,
. subject Of lively interest to the people,
not only OF New York but of the whole
country. Hence, the attention which
the recent disclosures OF an ex-policeman
Of New York, Sidney II. Conklin, has
received both In and out of the city.
Conklin was on the force at the time of
the murder. A few days after 1t occurred,
he arrested burglar, Michael Ryan,
who was in ignorance of the cause of his
arrest. Ryan exhibited intense trepida-
lion and made an effort to Jump from the
railroad train going at the usual speed !;

odd he had been In the employ of
who had missed "dog" after
had left him. II will be remeln-
II that an iron dog which had evil
gently been the weapon Of murder, was
found In the room with the dead body of
Nathan. Certain facts pointed to a
"ision between Washington Nathan,
Of the murdered man, and Ryan.
These facts, C0nklin claims, were
