The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1883-03-10

Win tue Danu on account OF tue iattcI
failure to play tor the excursionists on the
Three States last Sunday, was partly the
cause Of the general cha nge.
The intimation by Elder Kicks that
the colored people will seek to enter the
High school and Thirteenth street school
through the courthouse, gives promise Of
not only interesting proceedings, but also
Of a strong drawing of the color line in the
daily affairs of life. 1t is probable that
the colored people will find verfication
of Mayor Thistlewood's remark to them
Thursday morning, that the legal way was
thelongest possible way to get anythlngyou
want But more than all this, these agita-
tstions, if carried to extremes, will result
finally in the amendment of the school law,
so as to leave no question as to the right OF
school boards to establish seperate schools
for the different races. 1t may be as well
to take the matter into the courts now as
any other time, in order that the present
law may be authoritively interpreted with
reference to the state of things here.
Some of the incidents attending the
little disturbance in the colored element
Thursday morning were very amusing and
at the same time revealed considerable cour-
age and presence Of mind in several of the
lady teachers. Elder Kicks and several col
ored teachers marched into Mrs. Hudson's
room with twenty or thirty coored children
of all ages, told the children to take seats
and in an authoritative tone requested Mrs.
Hudson that she teach "dese chillun."
The maneuvre was unexpected TO Mrs.
Hudson, but she was not disturbed much
and cody asked for the children's certti-
Gates from the principal, so that she could
enroll them in the grades and classes to
which they belonged. "Does you do dat
wild all de chllunl," demanded Elder Kicks
10 asomewhat insulting tone. Certainly
replied Mrs. Hudson, ~ can receive no
children without a certificate from the
superintendent" "All right den," was the
response, and the colored brigade marched
quietly down again.
The negro saloon-keeper KiDnebrew
continues to get into trouble and make
business for the police officers and courts.
Thursday night two negroes named Dick
Durbu aud Clayburn Harris quareled
over game Of dice in Kinuebrew's saloon,
and the quarrel ended in the shooting Of
the former by the latter, the ball entering
aud lodging near the left shoulder. Harris
was arrested and lodged in the county Jail
where he still is. Kinnebrew was also ar
rested and brought before Magistrate Com
ings yesterday afternoon, charged with
Keeping disorderly house. A number of
witnesses testified TO hearing the noise Of
the Traces above referred to, but the defend
ant proved that he made all reasonable
effort 10 prevent it, and he was discharged.
Another warrant was Immediately sworn
out charging him with keeping agambling
house, and he will be tried on this charge
to-day.
The Posey Banner, Of ut. Vernon,
Ind, fills ore of its pages this week with
an almost continuous, wild eulogy of Mt.
Vernon as the one city on the lower Ohio
which was entirely uninJured by the late
food. The Banner had certainly not heard
of Cairo, or it would not have made this as
sertion; but il says "there are at least two
other towns on the lower Ohio, that are as
high or higher above the food point than
Evansville, VIZ; Henderson and Rockport,"
From all of which we conclude as follows:
Evansville was flooded, Evansville is too
low; Mt. Vernon, Rockport and Henderson
are higher than Evansville and we're not
flooded, but, though they are old towns,
they are small towns aud commercially
deads town, ergo, Mt. Vernon, Rockport and
Henderson are too high; Cairo was not
flooded and is large, live, prosperous city
with some Of the largest manufacturing es-
adjustments IN the country and the best Of
prospects for the future, therefore Cairo
must be neither too high nor too low, but
just on the proper level for great manu-
featuring and commercial city. AS some
one remarked casually yesterday, Cairo
only regrets that she didn't have foot
more water and Wigginses storm at the
same time; then she would have shown the
world how to fight food and would have
gained laurels of which she could have bragg
ged without blushing.
