The audience at the opera house, to
witness the performance of "Kit, The Ark

was a surprise to every one. IL was larger

to expect, because the weather was so dis
agreeable, a continual rain pouring down
from dark sky from six until nine o'clock.
But those who went were amply repaid for
their walk through the RAIN for the per-

The representation of the play was so ma

loud applause from the audience and on

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--The house com
merce committe to day made examinations
of estimates of the government engineers
and of the secretary Of war for rver and
harbor Improvements in the New England
states. A member of the committee says;
"As a rule in our preliminary draft of the
bill we are following pretty literally the es-
Inmates of the engineers as to the important
improvements rather than those Of the Sec
rotary of war, and we are trying to keep
down the aggregate by reductions on i'm
provements that are comparatively unim-
portant.

The Paducsh News remarks: "Ac-
coring to THE CAIRO BULLETIN that city is
all surrounded with water and washouts
are reported as very dangerous in the levees,
sc. And yet THE BULLETIN devotes half
column to reason away the fear of the peo-
Pile of that burg, and in the same issue
pokes fun at adjoining towns which are
worried by the highest waters, but are not

its city. THE BULLETIN man is, evidently,
whistling to keep up the spirits of himself

truthful utterances of croakers, both at
home and abroad. You may call it
'whistling to keep up courage" If you will,

"TBE BULLETIN man" will continue to

No very definite, or very reliable in
formation of the prize fight between Ryan
and Sullivan, which occurred near New
Orleans yesterday, could be obtained at this
point yesterday; but rumors were many
and varied. Among these rumors was one
to the effect that Sullivan had whipped
Ryan in the twenty-fifth round, and another
that Ryan had been declared the victor in
the twentieth round. Another still, pro-
fessedly based upon special private dis
patch, was to the effect that Sullivan was
declared the victor after the ninth round.
The latter is the more probable, and may
prove to have been in the main correct.

Slowly but surely all signs of small
pox or varioloid in this city are disap-
pearing, which may also be looked upon
as evidence that the disease is disappear
ing generally; for all Cairo's smallpox
cases so far have been non residents, and
all but one, river men, SO that the disap-
pearance of the disease elsewhere neces-
sarily results in its disappearance here.
Since the case of the man Summeryllle,
who was taken in nearly two weeks ago.
there has been no other case. But one
death occurred last Friday night, thus leav-
ing only two patients in the pest-house.
The poor victim was the man Bob Sanders,
who came here from St. Louis, where he
had been vaccinated, but too late to do
him much good. The two men now re-
naming in the pest-house are Summerville
and Jackson who are both doing well.
jackson, who was suffering from severe
bruise in the abdomen, which it was be-
lieved would prove fatal, is nearly well
again and will probably be discharged to-
day. Summerville, it is thought, will also
be in a condition to leave the pest-house
and the city, without endangering people
with whom he may come in contact, at the
end of this, or the beginning of next, week
1t may be expected, therefore, that the
pest house in this city will be closed and
abandoned within the next week, and re-
main so until some tramp or river man
again necessitates its opening.

who opposed the bill know ofa better way
to benefit the white females of Mississippi,
and ifso. they too perhaps, viii be entitled
to thanks. At any rate our educational IN

have her annual appropriation, and Stark
vile her sf50, 10000; AIcorn University
must be supported, Oxfard maintained.
the Normal school at Holly Springs must
be nourished, and perhaps this IS al that
Mississippi cares TO dol
Our excellent Governor recommends that

factories. a capital suggestion. Let Us
have factories. Educate she colorsd girls

earn honesf Independents and dsily bread.

century of its legislative existence.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1882-03-01

On the 22d the House rejected a
proposition to submit to the people a
institutional amendment makingjudges
elective by popular vote, but it adopted
what was regarded as a compromise
proposition to elect them by the Leg
islature. II is evident that there is a
decided majority opposed to the present
auti-demoeratic system of appointment
by the Governor. and we cannot well
understand why objection should be
made TO u reference of the question di-
rectly to the people themselves. They
are the source of all legitimate power
under a popular form Of government ;
and the submission of the question to
them is an economical and expeditions
mode of aseertaining their wishes.
The friends of reform after the first
proposition united upon the plan OF
election by the Legislature, and we
trust it will pass both Houses without
serious opposition.
We have not considered the mode of
selecting the Judiciary as question OF
party politics, but viewed it in that
light, how stands the case? Under the
proposed legis' 'ative appOrtionment, the
two races will be numerically balanced
in the Legislature, while in the popular
vote the eolored majority of the whole
State is $4,000. Therefore, assuming
that the bulk of the white vote will
continue to be for the Democratic par
ty, and the majority of the eolored vote
against it, the Democratic party can
much more easily maintain Its aseen-
dency 10 the Legislature than to keep
control of the office of Governor. Look
ing at the question, therefore, from a
purely partisan taad-point. may not
the selection of Judges be more safely
con6ded to the Legislature than to the
Governor

FoR building her new state-house, I.

For building her new State-house, the
State of Texas contracted with a
Chicago Company to transfer to them
the title of body of land which is
larger than the State of Connecticut,
and five times longer than Rhode
Island. It is the northwest corner OF
the State, and the survey tends south
1917 miles, with an average width of q
miles. Two railways are already pro-
iected through this section Of the State.
The transfer of these lands is probably
the largest sale ever made private in
dividuals, and the pu3 ..sers are the
largest land owners in I. . World.
