The proposition to increase the MAYOR 8
salary to one thousand or twelve hun.
dred dollars year was again sprung in
the city council at special meeting held
last Monday evening. and the ordinance
committee instructed to report an
ordinance to that effect. 1t is not likely,
however, that the ordinance will pass, as
there are at least five members of the
council who express themselves as unal-
terably opposed to the increase, while it
| will require six votes to adopt the ordi-
nance after it has been introduced. The
people generally believe that the city can
not afford to increase the mayors salary
at th. time, and the man who enters the
race on the high salary issue will surely
get left.
Charlie Rose, the lad spoken OF In yes
| terdays BULLETIN as having been miss
ing since Sunday last, has been found.
On Sunday afternoon the little fellow
went down to the Ohio river, and as the
tow boat Future City was about to back
out he concluded 1t would be q good
time to "run off," and boarded the boat.
Before the boat had got out OF sight OF
the city, Col. j. s. Rearden,
1 frv
New Madrid, noticed the little
fellow and began to que stion him.
Charlie was communicative, and told the
colonel all about it, He was going to
the Black Hills by way of New Orleans
and Cuba. After considerable persuasion
the colonel finally succeeded in getting
Charlie to agree to accompany him to
| New Madrid, and then return home with
him. The colonel and his charge reached
home yesterday, and Charlie was at once
restored to his friends.
CAIRO, Ills, Feb. 2S, 1877.
EDITOR CAIRO BULLETIN In your
issue of to-day, Feb. 2sth, notice a
communication signed, mot a member OF
the L. l.. Club" Now, that is entirely
"too thin," as blind man can see that
the writer is really member Of the club.
In regard to his ha ring seen the COM
munication and that the editor left out
part OF 1t on account of its being "too
obscene for publication" is false, as the
entire communication is in print and the
correspondence was not written anony-
mously, as the local editor knows the
writer, who is personally responsible for
every word of it; and in regard to want
ing your name, had only to read three
lines of your communication to know
the author, AMI must say 1 feel very
sorry for you. If you think this is not
sufficient / will write another criticism,
giving the performers just what they de.
serve; but thought in my first l would
be mild with them. In conclusion will
state again that the whole of my CON-
munication was published and am not
ashamed Of it. Il.
The wrangle now going on through
the columns OF the BULLETIN over the
late minstrel performance by the mem.
bers of the Taylor Literary club, is as
suming rather personal character, and
it seems to us that it Is about time to
"call halt" in the business. Ii gentle.
men can't discuss the subject without de-
scending to personalities they had bet
ter not discuss it at all. We are willing
to give them all the space in the BULLE-
TIN they want 50 long as they will keep
| within the bounds OF respectful discus
sion, but no further. We have the names
of all the parties to this controversy, and
may add that none OF them, with sin
gle exception, have attempted to conceal
their names from us, and that one, in at
tempting to deceive US, and to throw the
responsibility onto another, "left down 80
many gaps that he was caught in less
than twenty-four hours. AS there seems
to be a misunderstanding as to our rea-
sons for leaving out portion Of one Of
the communications sent to us for publi'
cation in Sunday mornings BULLETIN, we
may as well settle the dispute here. We
did not, as has been claimed by one cor
respondent, reject the unpublished por-
ton of the communication because it was
"too obscene for publication" for it was
not IN any sense obscene. We omitted
| IL simply because we thouph some of the
criticisms were little two severe on the
boys, and for no other reason.
