weston, Three reports were submitted in
regard to the Utah contested election, the
majority favoring the rejection of both
Campbell and Cannon. The house then
went into committee of the whole on the
military academy appropriation bill, which
was passed. Mr.. Robinson introduced a
bill to organize the National Labor League

New York to Council Bluffs, with a capital
of $40,OOO,OOO d.
On Friday of last week negro patient
of the marine hospital, named Nelson
Booker, was discovered by DR.. Carter to
have mild case of variolou. He had been
in the hospital day or two before the
disease was discovered upon him, but there
is no doubt but that he had the germs in
his system before he came to Cairo. AS it
was not wise to take him to the pest. house
which was near the Mississippi levee,
where hundreds Of men were at work day
and night, he was Immediately isolated in
the hospital, and, under the good treatment
of DR.. Carter, has almost entirely recover
ed He will probably be discharged to-
ljlAy. He is evidently one of the few stray
ing cases which are still, from time to
Sme, turning up in various parts OF the
state, and as he was taken care of as soon
as he arrived here, he will probably prove
the last case Cairo will have.
--Messrs. N. B. Thistlewood &c Co. have
had printed and sent out to all their Gus
toners in the north, south, east and west,
postal cards explanatory of the causes of
the interruption of business, namely, high
water, destruction of bridges and railroad
tracks, etc, and giving assurances that all
these causes are now rapidly disappearing,
and that therefore business may again flow
| in its usual channels soon. Cairo has SUI
| fered much more from prostrstion of her
business, because of the almost complete
destruction by high water of her great rail
road facilities than abe has suffered because
| of the terror into which she was thrown by
reason of the danger threatening her levees.
| Her commerce with the outer world was al
most entirely crippled and some effort on
| the part of her merchants to revive it
| would seem to be in order. To inform the
world at large that all railroad communica-
| ton with Cairo is being rapidly establish
ed and that Cairo merchants are all pre-
pared to again fill orders for goods of any
character or quantity would seem to be
eminently proper.
About twenty-five families, both black
and white who took possession of number
of empty freight cars on the Illinois Central
| Ohio levee tracks when the first great seal
was upon them, and who have been occupy

yesterday that they must vacate

belong to other companies ana they are In
demand. The result will be that many OF
the families will be deprived of all shelter,
because their former homes are either taken
possession of by others, or are surrounded
by water. They are nearly all poor fam
| lilies who have been living from hand to
mouth all winter and are not able to pas
tronze our hotels, boarding houses or res
taurants as many others similarly situated
are doing. Not little suffering among
these people AMI others who have been
driven from their homes by the fear of ar
overflow and been compelled to lay idly
by as their larders gradually became bare
may be expected, therefore, those better
situated should look about them, and
should extend helping hand whenever
they can and to the extent Of their ability

many lovers of fine fresh meats, for he ha
