Tho merabora of the Illinois press nsao' elation who ncceptod tho hospitality of our city, were lavish with their exfolia tions of our goncroslty, kindness, cour tesy, etc., and while it will afford' our citizens much satisfaction to bo assurod that our guests were well entertained, till the prime object of tho effort to on tertaln them will fall, If the "returning of thanks" is not made subordinate to "glances at the city, Its advantages and surroundings." In other words: No cit izen of Cairo was actuatod by a desire to 'got himself Into the papers." On the contrary, they shrink from such notori ety. What thoy did was in behalf of the city. Bellavlng tho occasion a favora ble one to Introduco Cairo to tho world, they devoted themselves to that end, and shall bo groatly disappointed if a single one of tho city's guests supposes that4hey with actuated by any selfish motive. It U our purpono to republish such jottings-down of our visitors us speak of the material alHiIrs of Cairo; and to ena ble us to do this, wo ask that wo bo fur nished with a copy of tho paper contain ing them, as noon as may be, after its publication. too much Nioanit. The abandonment of ourcolored fellow citizens by Orccley lu their hour of tri umph, with two foreign missions, each to a colored man, from General .Grant, Is strange and un accountable. Greeley has not a word to say of thei-e ap pointments. He is disgusted. He was after a mission himself, and the fact that ho is put lu J he background, while acouplo of niggers am brought Into the foreground, has completely taken the conceit ami tho nigger philanthropy out of poor Greeley. Grant Iuh given him too much of the nigger, and wo ato that in the Hhallow humanitarian's petty dis appointment his nigger philanthropy and philosophy and negro equality aro all cant, cluptrap bosh, trash, humbug, gammon and green cheese. The rising negroes, therefore, would serve him right to cut him, snub him, lecture him and whlitle him down the wind. ANTI-IMPERIALISM IN FJIANCE The French legislature Is ovldoutly pre paring to inuko a stand against the "one man power" which tho Emperor has so Industriously endeavored to concentruto in tho crown. During the oslon ttto other day M. Thiers assailed tho com mercial pulley of nonnparto in direct terms, asserting that the trading "liber ties" of tho country were "like tho polit ical liberties of tho French people a farce." Tho President replied, which brought on a warm agiimcut with M. Theirs, and it was feared tho sitting would break up lu a row. M. Quertler claimed that tho crown had no power in the matter' of commercial treaties, It being vested In tho legislative ,lo(ly. k - - . If "Ned Uuntllne" made any friends in Cairo during his vltlt aud "big drunk" here, thote friends will probably be- glud to learn that he Is "doing well.'

AM EIUHT-II9U LAW PJCUOX. i ' . i 1 1 1 ' ' i I Quarrel Between Jack HawlItoa,and, the Attorney General. Dispatches received from Washington yesterday afternoon, areas follows: Kctuoval of Clerk. Tho work of making romovals In tho treasury department still progresses rap Idly, and Secretary fioutwell seems de termined to remove all clerks whoso services aro not actually needed as well as thoso who aro unfitted for their posi tions by Incompetency. In the third auditor's ofllco alone, nearly 300 removals havo been made, In cluding many ex-eoldiers. While re movals have been Impartially made, yet whom now appointments havo been given, of which there havo been upward of forty, this has not been true. A TitllniidlRbninincr (Jetsiui Ofllce. . On yesterday, Clark oven went so far as to appoint a man who Is an Intimitto friend of Vallandlgham, and was a bitter opponent to the prosecution of tho late war against the rebels. This man, C. M. Smith, of Batavla, Ohio, has been for years a democratic politician, with con siderable local prominence, and for his opposition to the republican party, 'and for the aid he gave Vallandlgham when tho latter was a candidate for Governor of Ohio in 1603, ho Is now rewarded with a clerkship by Auditor Clark. Secretary Iloutwell has had his atten tion called to these facts, and Smith will probably be dismissed against Clark's ob jections. lMleaad Nnaford Kejccted. Tho rejection of San ford for minister to Spain, aud Pile for Brazil, are generally well received by republicans here, al though In the case of Pile it was not ex pected. 1'craiiiinl Item. Secretary Boutwell leaves for Boston to-night to be abient for oae week. ltoar Admiral Joseph Laumau has been detached from Portsmouth navy yard on tho first of May, and ordered to hoist his flagon the Lancaster, now fit ting out at Norfolk, as commander of tho South Atlantic squadron. The Klft-tit Hour Law. . Attorney General Hoar sent to Secre tary llorlo this afternoon, an opinion us to tho constitutionality or tuo eight hour law, saying that he saw no reason to dif fer from tUo oplulou rendered by ex-Attorney General Evarts. In accordance with this, Secretary Borle has issued a clrcularletter to tho heads of the various ;navy yarus, cauiug tner aueuuou 10 this opinion, and saying that while tho navy department lias not the right to compel mechanics and laborers to work mom than eight houft, y.et Jlus tho right to employ them "to labor extra hours, aud pay them pro rata for such, extra work.

General Hoar on Tuosduy lust, and tho following oouversatlon Is said to havo occurred: Hamilton "I called, Mr. "Attorney General, to enquire whether it Is true that you Intend to appoint Mr. for tho Texas, ? Attorney General "Yos, Hlr; I have already mado out his nomination." Hamlltou J'Thon I think it is my duty to say (hat ho' is a bad man, and not lit to hold the office" Attorney General"! had heard that you were opposed to him, and was not surprised, us I ujso hear that you aro" go ing over to the' 'copperheads.'.'.' Hamilton "Gd d nyou, oruuy man, who impugns my political motives. Where were you when tho war was rag lug"? What were you dolug that Justl- lies your blatant Unionism to-day? Dis pensing tho only luw you know Massa chusetts law whilst I was risking my life In behalf of the Union.: As you do not know what is decent or well bred lu your intorcourso with gentlemen, I will not trouble you further, but I will go to .your master" ' So saying, JackBtruok ofT, leaving the respectable Massachusetts pettifogger "In a bcwlldermeut of rage, aud astonish ment'; and proceeded to, the T white" houso, laid tho caso bpforo Grant and had trio apoolntment annulled.

Later the para graph was curreut that she had married and retired from the stase: and later still was a paragraph denying the last meuuoneu repori. auiiu mi uicso ru mors and codnter rumors, It seemed altogether likely that the fair Ada was not entirely Tree from matrimonial en tunirlemcnls of some sort. And such seems to have been tho fact, for v6 lind on the records or tuo Wayne Circuit Court that action was commenced on tho 20th ult.. by Ada L.

That is not exactly tho phraseology of the legal document, but it conveys to tho popular mlnu a better Idea orwnat was done by Ada aud John than would tho verbose document of half dozoti pages of legal cap, with Us whereas and said and a fore saids. In fact, they made a verbal con tract to bo married to each other within a year, or in January, 160!). Tho sisters were playlnguu engagement m this city at the former date, aud Skao was most assidlousln his attentions as u lover. Tho first count further alleges that Ada made this promise of marrlago in good faith, sincerely relying upon thepurtyof tho second part to stand by his pledges like u man ; that sho then expected to fulfill her promise, and was ready to do ho, uud has been ready over since, The second couiit charges the unfaithfulncs of SkueandseU forth that whereas the plalntlH was ready at tho time agreed upon to bo married, und has been ready over since, the defendant positively aud absolutely refused to marry her. Shu a Hedge that she repeatedly and fre quently urged upon lllru to make good his promiso of marriage; butho has put her olffrom time to time, aud now utterly refuses to marry her, although sho was ready and willing during all this time. Tho third aud lust count sets forth that upon her engagement with Skac to be married lu Juuuary. 1800, it was under stood that she was to retlro from tho stage, which profession she hud previ ously followed as a means of support to hereeuaud mother: that she did so retire from the staire on that account, and has since that time been deprived of that means of sunnort. For this reason, aud for Injuries to her feelings by reason of the failure or tho defendant to mum his promise, she claims damages to tho amount of $50,000.
