MORE ABOUT THE CONCERT.

Editor Bulletin;
Though my opinion regarding the con
cert last night can be of little intereG' q
the public, it will be an infinite relief to
overcharged feelings, if you will permit me
to say was delighted with the whole per-
Torrance. In the sweet harmonies which
permeated my whole being, could scarce
ly realize that only home talent was used;
and, as an old citizen, | felt my pardonable
pride in our musical talent The singing
was performed so we'll and with so little
apparent effort, that in my own mind, | de-
cided (almos) that it was q natural gift to
every one. caught myself wondering if
were not a suppressed prima donna; and
was in constant fear that at the wave Of
Professor Sherwin's magical wand,
I should instinctively rise and
burst forth into celestial songs;
or, into some upearthly discords
But fortunately for me, and more fortunate
ly for the audience the weight of my seven
ty years anchored Inc to my chair, and my
sympathy with the beautiful, as there so
sweetly expressed, was not quite powerful
enough to betray my old cracked voice.
The Choral Society should be encouraged
by every good citizen of Cairo. 1t is com
posed of our most gifted musicians, who
have the laudable object in view, Of ele-
waiting public taste. They merit our words
of praise, and also full houses at their
public entertainments. The voices of
several of the younger members, in my
opinion, give promise Of future fame, and
will doubtless be to their owners "things
of beauty and Joy forever"
l thought Professor Shermin's remarks
timed, and especially those regarding
the disagreeable, vulgar, ear-splitting
noises INDUCED in by rude
boys. There is no imaginable reason why
the innocent, well-meaning inofensive peo-
pie should pay for the privilege of having
their nerves shattered and their hearing
injured by the irrepressible boy. The small
boy should be extinguished. Two hours
spent in saving Wood or carrying coal be-
fore he attends the opera would probably
have the effect of cooling down his ardor,
and modifying his raptures; but if that
fail, other remedies exist The Cairo opera
company can immortalize itself by abating
the nuisance. Let us hope it will add this
browning feature to its present great success.
In conclusion, may the Choral society
long bless this world and community with
its sweet songs, and, when last here, lend
its inspiration to the beautiful melodies Of
the hereafter PoNEMAH.

In spite of the mild weather and, per.
haps, to some extent, because of the mild
weather, there is considerable suffering
among the colored population of the city.
Not from cold, but from general neglect in
dress and food. Few of them are thrifty /;
most Of them idle the summer months
away, living from hand to mouth, caring
nothing for what the future may bring
forth in the way ofunexpected misfortunes,
and believe that all will be we'll with them
when the fall and winter business begins.
But this winter is not to Cairo's taste. II is
too mild; the great rivers are open and
much steam boat business goes by, which
would be halted here and give employment
to hundredsof now idle negroes, were the riv-
er closed between here and st. Louis. There
fore these negroes have nothing to live
from, and therefore, again, they suffer.
They are not easily driven to begging for a
living, they would rather do something else
than beg But they live miserably, sicken,
and die; and then their relatives or friends
pass around the subscription paper to get
burying funds. DR.. Wood has been be.
sieged nearly every week this month by
poor darkies and, as overseer of the county
poor, he has helped many of them. He has
also been called upon to bury several at the
county's expense, one of which cases occur
red onlya few nights ago The negroes
of Cairo need to learn something from such
experiences, but it is doubtful that they

"A Quincy special to the Globe-Demo-
crat says that the recent decision OF the
supreme court of this state reversing the
decision of the circuit court which had
declared it in the power OF the board OF
education to maintain a separate school for
colored children, and has been done there
since the war, creates profound feeling of
regret, and will !be great injury to the
splendid system of schools there. The
Quincy board, amajority Of whom are re-
publicans, unanimously decide against
mixing the schools. There are several large
denominations there which have their own
parochial schools, and have been always
opposed to being taxed for public schools.
This decision will strengthen these, and
many believe it will result in the refusal of
the city to be taxed further than the
minimum limit, which would not be sufi-
cient to maintain one school decently.
There is great anxiety to know what action
the school board will now take.

river stood at forty-fve feet nine inches
above low water mark at this point, being

twenty-four hours. According to Sergeant
W. H. Says report yesterday afternoon at
iii o'clock, the river had risen one foot

Gus twenty-four hours, though it had been
on the decline at this point the day before.
During the same period of time it rose one
foot four inches at Nashville, Tenn; fell
eleven inches at Chattanooga, and the Mis-
sissippi rose at all other points below here,
while it fell five inches at st. Louis. The

"A difficulty occurred yesterday morning
between two negroes who vert deck. hands
on one of the steamers lying at the wharf,
in which one of them received severe cut
in the left side with pocket knife. The
cutters name is James CANNED; he is cap
tain of the watch on the deck of the steam
err and ordered Sam Brown, the wounded
man, to get up and go to work. Brown
didn't move with quite as much alacrity as
CANNED desired the latter urged him to
greater activity. Brown didn't obey
promptly whereupon CANNED drew knife
and stabbed him. This was the evidence
in the court of Justice Robinson. Officers
Martin and Mahanny arrested CANNED and,
together with his victim, brought him into
court. While in court Browns wound bled
profusely, the blood running down over his
shoes onto the floor. CANNED was held to
bail in the sum of five hundred dollars and
Brown was sent TO the marine hospital to be
cared for.

Pulaski Patriot: "Mr. Josheph P.
Robarts left yesterday morning via the
Wabash for Washington, D. c., in the in
terest of a proposition to grade and
macadamize an avenue from Mound City
and the Junction to the National cemetery
grounds. He goes at the request of the cit
liens of the county, and will remain until
he satisfies himself the probability of this
congress making the necessary appropria-
ton. 1t is supposed that 100000 will be
sufficient to complete the work in first class
order, and make street leading to the
national metropolis that will be a credit to

One of the greatest street nuisances
there is, especially when crossings are
muddy, are men Of both colors, but mostly
black, who stand around at the approaches
to crossings which are in almost constant
use and thus obstruct the way for all who

step into the street in order to get around
the groups of mostly ragged and dirty
fellows who have not the ordinary polite

How Congress passes a Bill,

In reply to a correspondent, who asks fol
information on the subject, the New York
Journal of Commerce says One branch OF
Congress passes bill and sends it to the
other. If the latter adopts it precisely as it
passed it, it then goes to the President for ap-
proval, but if the bill is amended or
changed on its passage in the other branch,
it is sent back with such changes to the
house in which it originated. If these
amendments are there adopted it then goes
to the President, but if not adopted, or
adopted only in part, it comes back again
to the second branch, where the vote is to
upon them. If the body insists, then a
committee is appointed, and notice being
given to the other house, like committee
is appointed, and these two committees
meet. Ifthey agree on a report, then the
bill is reported on again in each house.
If they disagree, each reports, and some
times new committee is appointed and
the bill fails. But if it pass
cs both houses then the President signs it,
if he approves; if he disapproves, he re-
turns it within few days to the house where
it originated, with his objections. If that
house passes it again by a two-thirds vote,
it goes to the other branch Of congress, and
if it passes there by two.thirds vote it be-
comes law. There is no arbiter between
my of the parties.

ROAD AGENTS.
Masked Robbers between Helena and
Butte.

The Butte Freeman, or the 10Th inst.
says:
Last Tuesday afternoon. about o'clock.
the Butte and Helena stage was stopped on
Bison Creek by three road agents. At first
only one of the robbers was noticed. and
his command to halt was not needed till
the appearance of two Others, with double
barrelled shot guns was discovered. There
were nine passengers on board the stage. in
Guiding lady. The passengers were or
dered to throw up their hands; all prompt
ly obcyed except Capt. Shepherd, who lost
sight Of the robbers in his heroic cndeayors
to restore TO consciousness the lady. who
swooned away at the sight of the deadly
weapons. The treasure box being demand
ed. it was reluctantly handed over. The
driver was then told to 'git," and he got.
Only about 81 was contained in the box.
Had the stage been going from Butte the
robbers would have made a more successful
haul. 1t is said there were no pistol, in
the crowd, but if there We're, they were for
gotten. Sheriff Easterly, Of Jefferson coun-
ty, was notified of the robbery at once and
the chances are that the bold scoundrels
will be captured and made to pay dear for
their venture.
