which men hold on to life, it is surprising
to all bow recklessly they tuap the links

the derauement of teir constitution, be
cause they arc so light a to soon wear

The Democratic meeting held at the
council chamber last evening to organi
the party for the election to take place
Tuesday, thel'tlt inst., was a grand suc
cess In every sense of the word.
THE CROWD
Wa variously estimated at from three
hundred and fitly trf" five hundred per
sons. We believe there was not.
a man less than four hundred present.
In point of enthusiasm the meeting was
one of the best we have ever seen in
Cairo, and the work in hand was dis
posed of, considering the large attendance
with leas wrangling and more har
mony than we have ever known before.
Till: C'ROANI-!ATIO..
At twenty minutes to 9 o'clock, the
house being then crowded, Mr. M. B.
Ilarrell called the meeting to ordiT, and
suggested Mr. John Q. Harman for chair
man, aud the nomination was continued
unanimously.
Mr. llarmitntook the stand, and iu a
brief speech thanked the meetiDg tor the
preference shown him. He said the
meeting was called, as he understood it,
tor the purpose of organizing for the
municipal election, with the view of
nominating a straight,
0I.D FASHIONED DEMOCRATIC TtCKKT.
He was in favor of the movement and
would do all iu his power to help it along.
SKCREl ARILS.
Judge Bros nominated M. B. Ilarrell
and M. .J. llowley secretaries.
HEADY FOR BUSINLSS.
The chairman atinouuced the meeting
fully organized and ready tor busi
ness. Mr. T. W. Halliday said in order to
tret the question before the house he
would move that the meeting proceed
to select a
CITY CENTRAL COMMIITht,
to consist ot seven members, one from
each ward and two from the city at large.
The motion wa3 seconded by a dozen
persons. The chair announced the mo
tion and called for the ayes and nays;
but as there was
A MISC.NDERSTA.VDINn
A9 to the object tor.w hich the committee
was to be appointed, many believing
that it was the intention to make nomi
nations at this meeting, the vote on the
proposition was so eveuly divided that
the chair w as unable to decide whether
it had been carried or lost.
HE RISES TO EXPLAIN.
Mr. Halliday explained the purport of
his motion. It was simply lor tln ap
pointment of a city central committee,
and the question of nominating a ticket
was an after consideration.
JL'DUE BROSS
spoke in favor of organizi ng for
the campaign. H believed the time
had come w hen it w as necessary lor the
Democratic party to take the "bull by
the horns." The party had been wast
ing its energies, strength and time for
years.
CARRIED.
At the conclusion of Judge Bross' re
marks the motion was again announced,
and it was carried by a unanimous vote.
D. T. I.INEGAR
Moved that the chair be instructed to ap
point the committee. The motiou pre
vailed by a unanimous vote. The chair-
man announced the following
committee:
At Large, D. T. Liuegar and 11. 11.
Cunningham:
First ward John M. Hogan;
Second ward Herman Meyers;
Third ward I. L. Ilarrell;
Fourth ward I. B, Ostraudei;
Filth ward Walton W. Wright.
'OR A MASS-CONVENTION.
The committee question having been
dlspesed of.Capt. W.M. Williams moved
that the committee be Instructed to call
a mass-coiiyentiou, to meet at the court
house ou.next Saturday evening, for the
purpose of nominating candidates for the
various city offices to be voted for at
the coming charter election.
AX OBJECTION.
Mr. M. B. Ilarrell was not iu favor of
nominating a Democratic ticket. The
Democratic majority in the city he said
was so small that with the least disaffec
tion iu the ranks of the party,del'eat was
inevitable. And besides it was not cer
tain that all the Democratic candidates
would submit their claims to the conven
tion. He bclicred it was inexpedient to
nominate a straight ticket, and offered
an amendment to Capt Williams motiou,
by calling theconveutiou to consider the
feasibility of uomliiatiug a straight ticket.
JOUN SUKEllAN
Thought there was nojoccasiou to fear the
result if good men were put in the field.
The ticket could be elected.
MR. tURULLL's) AMKXD.ME.Y, TABLED,
Mr. M. J. llowley moved that Ihe
amendment otlered by Mr, Ilarrell be
laid on the table.
MR. 1UOMAS LEWIS
Rose to discuss the motiou, but the
chairman brought his gavel down with
such force that Mr. Lewis at once come
to tlie conclusion that a motion to lay ou
the table was not debatable, and he took
his seat.
The motion to lay on the table was
carried with but one or two dlsseutlng
voltes.

ADJOtRNED.
The meeting then, on motion of L. II.
Myers, adjourned.
MKKTINO OK 1 H K COMMITTEE.
After the adjournment of the meeting,
the members of .the committee were
called together, wlieu the call to be found
in another column in this morning's
Bfi I.F.TIN, was lstied.
The Cairo Public School.
A correspondent ot the Cincinnati
Ciminirtn'fli, writing from Cairo under
date of April 2d., says of the examina
tion ot our public schools:
"The examination or tho Cairo public
schools closed last Friday, having con
tinued tluring the entire week, and the
scholars and teachers are now enjoying
a week's vacation. The condition of the
schools is very much better than ever
before since they were llrst organized.
They are conducted by Prof. Alvord,
who Is assisted by thirteen w hite and
five colored teachers. The colored
schools are in a building by themselves,
and the white schools occupy two brick
buildings of Ave rooms each, and one
liame buildingspf one room.
The schools have been In existence to
long now that there are no longer any
very large scholars In attendance, which
makes the management, perhaps, easier.
But certain it is that perfect order and
strict discipline exist in all departments
aud those Institutions, which onlv a few
years ago were a laughing stock and a
reproach, are now a source of just pride
ot our citizens.
The late examlaation was very satis
factory, and showed that close and hard
work had been performed by all the
scholars. Many of the teachers stand at
the head of their profession, and their
works show It. in -addition to the
branches usually taught In common
schools, telegraphy aud Btnu Pitttnan's
phouography are taught to classes outside
school hours, and, as a recreation, at
times between lessons. Both these
branches are picked up rapidly by the
children, and some of them develop
great power in their mastery. The
other day a gentleman was called to ad
dress the school, and at the close of his
speech, was surprised to find that his
words had been written down by several
of the children, in short-hand, who re
produced them correctly at his request.
There are one thousand scholars in at
tendance, and the average attendance
and standing ot the pupils are
excellent. I send this much
couceruing our schools, which are equal
now to any in the Slate, because I know
there are people living at a distance who
will be glad to know that Cairo has
something whereot she may Well be
proud, although ttiey mav receive these
statements with many doubts and mis
givings as to their actual truth. 1 am
told It is the belief of many that no good
thing can come out of Cairo. Such peo
ple should visit and get acquainted w ith
us.

wood, will be held at the Eleventh street
gdiool house on Saturday next. Among
all the gentlemen mentioned In connec
tion with the school board, perhaps the
present incumbents would prove
more acceptable to a large portion ot the
people ot the city than any others.
Both gentlemen take a deep interest iu
educational matters, and are perhaps as
well versed in the ad'airs ot our public
schools as any other two men in the
city. We believe it would be to the in
terests of the schools to re-elect them.
Amusements.
The sale of seats to the Marv Ander

menced yesterday morning, and before

such renowned stars as Charlotte Club
man and Fannie Kemball. She is sup
ported by one of the Guest companies iu
the country. Those who contemplate
attenJing should secure seats early.
t leetiou Notes.
The all-important question with the
Democrats now Is, who shall be the can
didate fur mayor 1
It is reported that J. B. Phillis con
temnlates entering the race lor the city
clerkship. We also understand Mr. Jas.
Nott, a young colored man, and one ot
the teachers in the colored school, would
like to be clerk and may conclude to
enter the list of candidates.
The election ol members of the council
is beginning to attract attention. In
this connection wo may add that there
it considerable opposition to the city
mast convention uomiuatlug candidates
for alderman. It U claimed the wards
should be left to settle this q'teatloo u
their own way. . , .-
There U but one verdict, an I that Is
that In thirty-three years Dr. Bull's
Cough Syrup baa never tailed to cure a
Cough, Cold, or general Hoarseae. At

any opposition, but we suppose other
