The old reliable, responsible, chartered
Express Companies, American, Adams and
Southern, represented by our fellow citizen
Mr.. Chas Pink, occupies all railroad lines
throughout the United States.
AMERICAN, with its direct lines over the
Illinois Central to and from Chicago, st..
Louis and the north west, with its eastern
and western connections.
ADAMS, with its direct lines to and from
Cincinnati, Louisville, Pittsburg, Phladel-
pbia, Baltimore, Washington City, ETC., with
all its connections east and west, via the
Ohio & Mississippi and the Wabash &
Pacific railroads, or the old Cairo & Vim
cennes railroad.
SOUTHERN, for all points south, including
the st. L., |. M. q s. II. r. and G. A, & IT,,
between Cairo, Charleston, Dexter, Skies
ton, Poplar Bluff, Little Rock, Hot Springs
and Texarkana.
The three companies combined present
facilities unsurpassed for the transporta-
ton Of freight, money and valuables to and
from all points of the United States. Speed,
low rates, promptness, security and courte-
sy is what is guaranteed to shippers by
these great and only chartered companies,
represented in this city, and our merchants,
bankers, and citizens cannot do better than
to still continue to patronize these good
substantial Express Companies.

The decision Of the appellate court of
Illinois, declaring the ordinance of the city
of Cairo, which requires merchants to pay
yearly license Of ten dollars for the
privilege of doing business, to be illegal
and the license uncollectable, does not Sc
riously affect the revenue Of the city. The
ordinance affected only merchants in strict
! est sense of the word, which does not in
cludc saloonkeepers, and Of these about
ono hundred and fifty paid the
required license, so that the city's revenue
from merchants license was about fifteen
| hundred dollars, which decreased every
year because, one by one, the merchants re-
fused to pay, and the adjustment of
which now will hardly be felt by the city
government. One of the reasons why the
city was debarred from collecting this IL
cense was probably that merchants were
supposed to have been previously taxed for
the stock they carried; though, perhaps,
the chief ground was that the city charter
did not authorize the collection of the Ii
cense Now that merchants can do bust
ness without paying this license, those who
begin business on the second of May or
after the assessor has made his rounds and
continue 1t until the latter part of April
next year, or just before the assessor comes
around again. can do business without
contributing any thing whatever
to the revenue of the community
in which he lives. This is hole
that should be closed in some way. There
are men who move from place to place with
their stock of goods for no other reason

This is Americas year on the turf
American horses are having it all their own
way in England, Iroquois won the Derby
and St. Leger, and Foxhall has scored the
grand Prix Paris, the Duke Michael and
the Czarowitch by 10 lengths. 1t was a
dead gift. To these may be added other
races Of good money value. Yesterday the
struggle between Iroquois and Bend Or for
the Champion stakes came off. Both are
Derby Winners and the best horses of their
respective years. AS Bend Or beat Robert
the Devil, this race will rank as the most
important since that between Voltigeur and
Flying Dutchman.

"A terrible tragedy which resulted in
the death of VIM. Edmunds was enacted at
the Enders farm, two miles back from the
Illinois shore, Wednesday afternoon. Pete
Burgess, another negro, HAD been accused
by Edwards of poisoning a COW which he
had to die recently, and on the two meet
ing yesterday quarrel resulted from the
accusation. The two men were going the
same way, and when they reached the End
ers farm, on which the murderer lives, he
told Edwards to 90, or he would kill him.
Burgess then went into the house, procur-
ed gun and, returning to the road, called
Edwards. Upon the latter turning around
Burgess fired at him, the load Of buckshot
striking him in the breast and killing him
instantly. After committing the deed,
Burgess returned his gun to the house and
started through the woods, he said to give
himself up. He was met by Mr.. Virgins,
of this city, who was out hunting and to the
latter's inquiry if there was any game about,
he replied yes plenty of it; | just killed
damned niger down here. Burgess is
said to be a desperate sort of negro while
his victim, who is an old man, is very in
offensive. Both have families We didn't
hear last night il Burgess had given himself
up or not The murder was cowardly

David Davis was formally nominated
for president pro TEN. of the senate at re
publican caucus Wednesday. The only
one to raise an objection was Senator Hoar,
of Massachusetts. To committee Of re-
publican senators who inquired of him if
he would accept the position, Mr.. Davis
replied that they must be guided by their
knowledge of his character. The issue is
likely to be sprung any day, and may lead
to debate and flibustoring.

As it has begun to rain now, it is feared
by come that it will continue. If it does
continue raining it will injure the corn that
is in the shock, as some Of the farmers are
complaining that the corn, which is cut up,
has already begun to rot. 1t would be bad
for the farmers to lose their crops now, after
feeling so jubilant over the fine crop that
was raised, However, it is not yet prob
able that anything serious will come of it..

Yesterday afternoon, Captain Willard
Glazier and Mr.. E. G. Paine arrived at this
port in rushton cedar canoe, fourteen feet
in length, being on their way from the
source of the Mississippi river to New Or

three.quarters of a mile above Lake Itaska,
which is commonly believed to be the
source of the river. They claim to be
the DISCOVERIES Of the lake
from which they started and
hold that 1t is the proper source Of the
Mississippi They have called this new lake
"Glazier lake" after its discoverer, the cap
tain aforesaid. For fourteen days after
they left lake GIazier they saw no human
face or form and it was seventeen days be-
fore they met with any white people. They
have travelled for eighteen hundred miles
in their little bark, stopping at the princi-
pal cities along the river, where the cap
tain delivered interesting lectures Mr..
Paine is young man, q newspaper writer
for the st. Paul Pioneer Press, and accom-
panies Captain Glazier in the interest of
that journal. They will continue on their
way to the Gulf of Mexico to-day,

DR.. Wood regrets that his name was
drawn into the discussion between the
evening paper and The BULLETIN; but he
denies emphatically that he used the Ian
guage attributed to him by the evening
paper to-wit that "THE BULLETIN has
been wrong in every position it has taken
in this controversy" What he did say in
conversation with the editor of the evening
paper was that "IF THE BULLETIN 1--WE
quote the Dr's own language believed that
the Illinois Central railroad company was
legally bound to care tor the man Wood
gate, then it, The BULLETIN,
was, in his opinion, mistaken"
His "dissent 1--WE quote the Dr's own Ian.
guage) from the statements of The BUILE'
TIN was confined to that point" The even
ing paper knows that The BULLETIN al
ways admitted that the railroad companys
responsibility in the Woodgate case was,
just as the city's was, not legal, but moral
therefore, DR.. Wood is entirely in accord
with THE BULLETIN in all that it has said
in this controversy The evening paper has
again misrepresented the truth.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR AN AMER
ICAy.

A correspondent of the New York Sun
started the story some time ago that
General Arthur was not a citizen of the
United States. The charge was extern
sively copied and commented upon by
the press of the country. The SENTINEL
published it as q bit of sensational gossip.
The Sun, finding that it had opened up a
question of deep concern to the Ameri-
can people, thought best to probe the
whole affair to the bottom. Accordingly
a trusted reporter was detailed to 60 to
Vermont and other places where General
Arthur had resided. The last issue of
the Sun to hand contains the full report
Of this reporter. 1t appears that the
father Of the President at about the time
Of the birth Of the latter was in the
habit Of crossing over into Canada to
teach school, but there is no evidence
that Chester A. was born beyond the
line. On the contrary, the weight Of
testimony goes to establish the fact that
Chester Allen Arthur was born in Fair
field, Franklin County, Vermont, Oct. 5.
1880. This ought to end the silly story
and any doubt that may have been en-
gendered by it concerning the citizen
ship of the present occupant of the
Presidential chair.

A A START.

In the opinion of John Kelly's organ,
the New York Express, our new Presi-
dent made a bad start in the higher
sphere of duty to which he has been
called. The Express says: "Chester
A. Arthur became President Of the United
States the moment James A. Garfield
ceased to hold that office. His position
was not affected by taking the oath of
office. There was no vacancy in the
Office, and the taking of the oath was a
matter of form. But in the dead Of
night the city was secured to find a
Judge to administer the Presidential
oath, which was taken by the new Presi-
dent at his residence at a quarter after
2 o'clock in the morning. 1t was taken
in the presence of the following persons:
Elihu Root Jr., Stephen B. French, Dis
trict Attorney Rollins, DR.. Van Wyck
Barney Biglin. a notorious ward politi-
clan, understood to be the proprietor of
q 'gih-milI,' and one Judge Donahue,
who is badly mixed up in the compost
city politics produced by Republican and
Anti-Tammany deals. Had he waited
until morning and taken the oath at the
City Hall in the presence Of such dis
tinguished officials and civilians as would
have been glad to witness the ceremony,
he would have shown a decent apprecia-
ton of the solemnity of the act and the
proprieties Of an occasion which should
at least have been impressive"
