Mr.. Linegar informs the Argus that he
will answer The BULLETINS little pleasant
ry of yesterday, associating his name with
that of Judge Bross and other honorable
gentlemen, in a manner, that will make us
quake. That is all right. The whole Bull
LETIN force is anxious to become "Quakers,
and in the case of Mr. Linegar are liable to
become Shaking Quakers,' We apologize
to the other gentlemen.
The signal report makes the water 81
feet inch on the guage yesterday at noon
At Cincinnati the fall was 2 feet 3 inches,
and at Chattanooga the fall was inches.
This makes the rise at Cairo average one
half inch per hour up to noon yesterday.
Since that time the rise has been very slow.
The temperature is very even at all points,
which is equal to an assurance Of light
winds, and that is what we want now.
Senator Logans bill to distribute the
United States revenue derived from whisky
to the public school fund of the different
states was debated by the Methodist minis
tiers of Chicago. The Rev. DR.. Hatfield
took wider view than most Of his col
leagues, the majority of whom lost sight Of
the question at issue in their desire to bear
testimony against the accused thing, which,
DelnS TRANSLATED, means rum
Cairo, with the river over the levee,
would be in no worse condition than Gin
cnnati was last Monday a large district of
which was submerged several feet nor of
Chattanooga a few years ago, when the
water covered the town reaching as high as
the second story of the Crutchfeld House,
on Main street, half mile from the river ;
but there is little consolation in this; let
us continue to hope the river will come to
a stand, or commence to fall soon.
David Davis said to some ladies;
"Why do you permit yourselves to be placed
in the ignominious position Of coming here,
begging favors of the government where
there are thousands ready to crowd you to
The wall and fight you for every favor that
you ask2 You all look intelligent. Why
do you not 90 out and learn to become
cooks, hOusekeepers, chambermaids, if you
please, and then you will be certain of
good home and independence. People
will then be running after you, instead Of
you running after them, and the position OF
a respectable servant in good family is
one infinitely to be preferred to that of
hanging to some beggarly Office, dependent
on the within or will of some bureaucrat'
The ladies are said to have "founced out
when the old man had 60 thus far.
-Conkling recently stated that after the
Chicago convention he accepted his defeat
and had made up his mind to work fo7 the
Garfield ticket late in the campaign, and in
the meantime to resume his neglected law
practice and make some money. He was
persuaded, however, by Arthur to 90 to In
diana and Ohio and make some speeches.
This obliged him to return to clients $l7,-
600 paid him in retaining fees, he not be-
ing able to attend to their cases. Conkling
admitted that in the Albany contest Of 1881
he had ovcrestimatei his strength. He
came out Of the struggle needing money,
and hence he is now devoting himself to
money getting, and, from all accounts he is
getting it, His friends say he will run for
no Office and accept no appointment. When
he gets rich again he will jump into the pc.
ltical arena.
The members Of the Rough and
Ready Fire Co, are earnestly requested
to meet, ready for duty, at their hall at ten
O'clock to-day. This request includes the
friends Of the company, and is made by
several members who called on THE Bull.
LErIN yesterday The object is good
one, as they desire to place themselves in a
body at the service Of the Mayor, to work
as he shall direct, should the safety OF the
city require their services, rightly believing
that body OF disc plned men under Of
ficers would be much more efficient than
a crowd without leader. The idea of
the Rough and Realizes should be carried
into effect by all the other companies,
