Ex-GOv. MERRILL, Of Des Moines,
was In town last Monday viewing
the landscape DER" in reference to
railroad matters. He expressed q very
earnest desire upon the part Of the
people Of the capital city that our en-
terprise should succeed, and that the
road should be built o. far a. Knox
vile this year. and by September LIST
II possible, In order to hasten II to Des
Moines. He recognizes the necessity
Of the road to this and every other
county through which IL will pass,
and the great importance Of the work.
He says this lie an unusually favora-
bic year for building railroads, and
we should not let our present OPP
portunity pass unimproved for lack Of
. few thousand dollars local aid.
The Governor IL an active and In
fiuential railroad man. To his ener-
getic efforts and the capital he infiuen-
ces Des Moines is mainly indebted for
the building Of the road from that
city northwsrd to Ames last year. He
returned by way Of Pieasantville,
Wheeling, Carlisle TO make casual
examination OF the line from here TO

Fight

We are informed Of fight that took
place on Fourth street yesterday morn
ing. The principals were two rival col
ored demircps, who for months past
have both been working very hard to out
wit the other and gain the affections OF a
dashing young negro man, who seems to
have very little If any preference. When
with one, he talks and looks sweet-to his
companion at least. When with the
other, he does likewise. Consequently
they both claim him, and when they met
yesterday morning both beeamc enragea
at the sight of each other, and had a
fight. which lasted several minutes

Pleasure Seekers

With the arrival of each steamer from
the South at our wharf, there comes to
Cairo large numbers of ladies and gen.
tlemcn from the Southern cities and
towns, who have left their homes to spend
the summer at some pleasant resort in
the North or East These parties gcner-
ally stop in Cairo several hours, while
the transferring Of freight, &C., from the
boat is being done, and take a stroll
through our city. These people, as Il
general thing, are favorably impressed
with Cairo, and express surprise at the
surs that are thrown at us from those
who know nothing OF either Cairo, hei
inhabitants or her qualities. The elegant
steamer Thompson Dean brought up Il
large party yesterday morning, nearly
all Of whom took walk through town
and we dare say were equally as wei
pleased with their ramblc as other tour
its before them have been.
