Grandmother Argus of last evening gives art account of tho "City of Cairo" reception, which is full of gross errors. She says that the ferryboat Threo-States carried the mayor and council and abrass band up tho Mississippi to meet the steamer,. and that Judge Green made tho presentation speech, neither of which state ments aro true. A correct account appears elsewhere in this issue. Tho Argus also erred when speaking of Mrs. II. II. Candee, who delivered the preaentation address for the ladies of Cairo,, as thtf daughter of one of the olJest captains on the rivers, Captain J. II. Lnhnnlng, of Peoria, and niece of ono now in the Anchor Line, Captain R. P. Reilly, of tho steamer City of Vicksburg," Mrs. Candee's father is Captain James Laning,' of Brownsville, Pa., and her undo is CapUiu R. T. Riley, not ''R uUcy." Seeing thatjthe peoplo in mass meet ing supported tho city council in its en deavor to grant the franchise askod for by the narrow gauge road, in such manner as would be most beneficial to the city, the Amsterdam officials and their few hangers- on in the city saw that, to make a bold, honorable fight on that question in the com ing election would insure defeat. There fore they have decided to change their tac tics; they will seek to accomplish by foul means what they know could not bo accom plished by fair means. They have not abandoned their real purpose; but they imagino that they can effectually hide it from tho unsuspecting public and divert public attention by raising a frantic howl about the wrongs of tho past. By fierce, crazy denunciations of persons who, they clain;, lead tho dear people into pits in former years, they hope to succeed in It ad- iog tho same "dear people" right into another pit, and a very .odorous, narrow gauge pit at that. But they will not suc ceed ; tho people are alert ; they will not bo mislead. A BRILLIANT RECEPTION, 1F.NDKRED DV THE CTTIZB.VS OF1 CAIKO TO tiie Ascnon i.t.NB company's eleoxst NEW STEAMER, "CITV OP CAIRO," OS UEK FIltST AnUIVAt, AT THIS POUT. The eve tit referred to in tho above caption which occurred on board the craft named Friday night, was one of more than ordi nary importance; one which will live long in the memories of those in attendance, and is therefore deserving of extended men tion. The preparations for the occasion were begun sotno weeks ago, when it was learned that tho Anchor Line company had complimented our city by naming after her their latest and one of their grandest water crafts. The city council had taken steps to acknowledge this compliment in a befitting manner, andunbcknown to nearly every one, tho ladies of Cairo had taken similar steps, hence it is not to be wondered at that the reception of the steamer at this port was so grand an affair. , It had been arranged that the mayor, city council and a number of prominent citizens should board tho steamer Three States and meet tho "City of Cairo," in the Mississippi river; but this plan was frustrated by the uncertain delay of tho tatter vessel, which did not arrive at this port until eight o'clock, several hours later than was ex pected. Her arrival hero was looked for ward to with pleasurable anxiety by a large number of citizuns, who promenaded tho levco for an hour or two; and when she fin ally camo in right, tho exhultation was great. Ai she ncared tho port several can non shots were fired In her honor, and when sho had landed a general rush was made for tin deck and cabin. By nine o'clock the boat was loaded down from pilot hauso to engino room 'with as elegant and as happy a company of people as ever gathered anywhere, all examing tho fino craft and expressing themselves in terms of enthusiastic admiration of tho gorgeous beauty and great strength which met their gaze everywhere. The crowd gradually gravitated and concentrated in tho brilliantly illuminated cabin, where tho ceremony of presenting tho steamer with a set of colors and a beautiful silken banner, and a general reception, feast and balll, was to bo tho order of tho occasion, About half past nino o'clock Hon. Thomas W. Hallidny signified that tho hour for 'tho be ginning of the festivities of tho night had arrivod, by stating briefly tho objoct of the gathering and reading tho following reso lutions, passed by tho city council at its meeting of April 11th: i 'Resolved, By tho city council of tho city of Cairo: That tho members of this council, for themselves, Mid in behalf of the people of Cairo, desire to express to the officers and owners nf tho St. Louis and Vicksburg Anchor Line.their acknowledgement of the compliment and a honor in naming after our city a beautiful and noolo craft, That her career and success may bo pros pcroiin, without interruption, arid that her frequent and regular arrivals nt this wel come port, may long testify such continued prosperity,! the hearty and sincere, wih, unanimously expressed, of tlio peoplo of Cairo.

They nntuially taken deep interest in river transportation, situaied as we are at tho junction of two of tho mightiest rivers of tho world, looking over upon the hroad and productive fields of Kentucky and Missouri, just ssyou pass the threshold of the great state of Illinois, our own be loved state, tho key to the commerce of the northwest tend to mako us a commercial people; to make us tako a pride in tho beautiful and palatial steamers which land daily at ovr wharves, boaring upon the Intsom of these mighty waters. The pro ducts of the finest and most productive val ley in the world; a valley rich in agricul tural Tfroductions; capable of producing breadstuff enough to feed tho world; with mineral resources inixliaustahle; abound ing in forests of tho most valuable kinds of timber, and Inhabited by the most enter prising and hospitable people on the globe. Need I tell you that we, of Cairo, feel proud of our location, situated as we are in the midst of this great ralley, the central figure al most in this vast field of cnterpiisc and activity. We fe I that very much of our own prosperity is due to the success of tho steamboat interrsts of the Mississippi river. Wo feel especially interested and proud of the siircpss which has marked tho steamers of the Anchor line. We have ever found their officers pleas ant and courteous gentlemen, with whom it is a pleasure to travel and transact bUsi ness. Tho appearance of their boats dc notes careful and successful management. But tho pleasant feature of this meeting is thu fact that this wonderful piece of ' mechanical ingenuity and skill, this mag nificent and beautiful steamer upon which we are now assembled bears the nsmo of our own enterprising and beloved city. We feel complimented, yes, highly hon ored, that the managers of the St. L"uis and Vicksburg Anchor line should select their finest steamer to bear the name of "the City of Cairo." f And now permit me en behalf and in tte name of the citizens of Cairo, to present you with these colors as a slight token of our appreciation and interest iu the Anchor line, and while wc slnll ever feel interested rn the success of all their boats, we thall feel especial interest in this one which bears the name of our city. I feel that she will ever be a favorite ot our citizens and that their wishes will be for the success and for the prosperity and good luck of the officers who .may be si fortunate as to have her in charge. Mayor Thistlewood was interrupted fre quently by loud clapping of hands which amounted to "a storm of applause" when he Lad concluded. The set of colors which he presented on behalf of the citizens of Cairo to Capt. Vickcrs, as representative of the Anchor line conpany, for the use of the elegant steamer which bears our city's name, were displayed on a table in front of him, over which, suspended from the glit tering chandelier, hung a floral snchor, composed of natural flowers. They consisted of six pieces, madolof stout serge or Spanish bunting, and 4were tho finest ever presented to any boat on the rivers. urn a tew moments ciapscn wncn nie audience was sgain hushed by the appear ance of Mrs. II. II. Cindco who had been delegated by the ladies of Cairo to present in their behalf to tho steamer "City of Cairo" a beautiul banner, as a token of good will toward tho Anchor lino comptny and appreciation of its compliment to tho city and peoplo of C.iiro. This Mrs Candee diil in tho following very eloquent words, spoken deliberately and distinctly, without manuscript, and which held tho audience Rpell bound and wcro received with an enthusiastic clapping of hands: Captain Vickcrs and officers of tho City of Cairo. From time immemorial, through all tho storied past, in days of chivalry, and lay of minstrel and of traibador, it has been the custom for valor nnd knightly worth to meet ncognition at tho hands of woman. The ago of tournament and tilted field ha passed. Tho young, new world has nobler fields of conq iest to be won than thoso of medieval times.

Helping to build up bi r prosperity, lying at her busy wharves in winters cold nnd summers heat extending frimdlyaid in limes of peril and flashing their electric light ofsympathy and nsistanc through the long dark and anxious nights not long since past, the Anchor line steamers draw from Cairo's citizens a spec'al feeling of interest and regard.

The ladies of Cairo bid yon welcome to tho city your yessel honors and from sin cero hearts wish It nnd you an earnest God speed. During tho delivery of Mr. Candee's beautiful a ldrcss, the banner in question was held up to tho view of the audienoo by Mr. Candee. It was mado by "tho ladies of Cairo," and is a magnificent piece of handiwork. In dimensions it is about forty-eight by thirty inches; it is composed of heavy silk of beautiful, scarlet tintfls trimmed elegantly with gilt fringe, and cords and tasslcs of tho sani", and bears tho following Inscription In ornamental gilt letters: "To tho Anchor line sltwnicr City of C tiro, from the ladies of Cairo.

Vickors to do bo, replied to tho resolution snd ad dresses of the citizens in a nice little im promptu speech of about five minutes in length. He expressed tho heartfelt thanks of Captain Vickors and tho officers of the boat, and of tho Anchor line company, for the exhibition of good fouling .and appre ciation and for tho beautiful gifts of the citizens of Cairo, and accepted them all with gratitude. lie set forth In glowing terms tho rapid and brilliiut growth of the Anchor lino company, from a small, weak inBthutlon, with but a few small crafts, until it is ack'nowled superior, in wcalih and extent of busiiioss, ot any similar or ganization in the couutry, floating the most elegant line of steamers In tho rivers of this or any other country.
