ILLINOIS STATE BoNDs.--Many seem
mistaken in regard to the recent sale of
these bonds. Eventhe Peoria Register
has fallen into an error in supposing that
the proceeds of this sale is to applied in
redeeming the CaIal State Scrip. The
matter stands thus--The Contractors re-
ceived the Bonds, amounting TO one mill
ion of dollars, from the State at par. Il
was their business to make the most of
them. They employed Col. Thornton to
60 to Europe, with instructions to sell
them to the best advantage. It is suppos-
ed he got IS cents on the dollar. But ii
he obtained but IS it is considered as good
as par to the contractors, in consequence
Of the great falling off in the price Of la
Dor, produce and materials, since they re.
ceived the bonds from the State. The
avails of these bonds, therefore, will be
applied in pushing forward this prea,
work TO its final completion.

GLORIOUS NEWS-ALABAMA.

We have been favored by the Clerks of
the steamers Pike and Chippewa, with
late St Louis papers. The news is of the
most cheering character. Although the
several accounts from Alabama vary, still,
taking the very lowest estimate Of the
wing gain in that state, it shows result
in favor Of our cause which goes far be-
yond our most sanguine expectations and
is most astounding to our opponents. We
give the figures of all the accounts we
have yet received, and if they can be de-
pended on, Alabama is just as sure for
Harrison in November as Kentucky or
Indiana. This result was unexpected to
all parties, and it is only premonitory of
the course the whole south will take in
the coming contest. Even supposing H.
linois to give her vote in November Tor
Van Bmen--which we do not believe
Alabama outbaIances her by two electoral
votes, so that the locos have not any thing
to crow over, after all.

ILLINOIS,.

This State has elected locofoco legis-
lature; it however does not much annoy
the undaunted wings Of our favorite State.
There is business to be done by the le-
gislature Of that state, that ought to be
performed by the locofocos. They
brought it into trouble and the wings wish
to see how they will manage to get it out
of its present unfortunate position. The
locos begin already to talk of raising d.
rect tao of ten millions. The majority of
the loco popular vote is so greatly reduc-
ed in Illinois, that there is not much doubt
about its going for Harrison in Novem-
Der, Notwithstanding the double and treble
voting of the foreigners on the public
works.

TENNESSEE.

There is an impression abroad that this
noble state has had an election this month.
This is a mistake. We believe her State
elections are held biennially, and that none
will take place until the presidential cleo
ton in November. We shall however hear
from her soon in relation to the great Har.
rison North Western Convention, which
was to have been held at Nashville. on
the 18th inst. and shall not be surprised
to learn that $4,000 or 100000 were at The
gathering. And yet our opponents think
the Harrison excitement is all dying away
dying away? Bah!

NORTH CAROLINA.

Our accounts from this State, as far as
received, confirm the idea that this gallant
State has gone for the wings. Ii such is
the result it will be wholly unlocked for
by our Van Buren, friends. Do our op-
ponents still think there have been no
changes? Will they still persist in say
ing that no political reformation is going
on all over the land! Deplorably blind
must they be if these are their sincere I'M
pressions. We believe General Harrison
will be elected as sincerely as we believe
the sun shines.

estimate of the Presidential Election it
gives Harrison only 3 out of 26 States
such estimates as this show conclusively
that they are to great extent playing the
game Of "brag,' the orders have been is
sued to "Crow," and they are doing it
most Justify. The locos say that Harrison
will get the votes of Vermont, Connect.
cut and Rhode Island, but assert that New
York will certainly go for Van Buren,!
What their belief is founded on, doubt
not, is the fact that the Whigs haze for
three gears carried the State by tremen-
dous mGjoriiies, and they are welcome to
all the satisfaction which such belief af-
fords them; but they know better-they
are whistling, like the boy in the church
yard to keep their courage up. No in
telligent man who is at all conversant with
the state of parties in the State of New
York, doubts the entire success of the
Wing ticket by an overwhelming and i'm
mense majority.

CHARLES NAYLOR.
Washington, July 20, 1910.
Lest, however, the foregoing testimony
may not appear satisfactory to the editor
OF the Gazette, who. by way of argument,
denounces and villi6es every opponent of
his views and his political principles, ap-
plying to them epithets which can ema-
nate from vulg and impure mind alone,
we refer him to Mr. Lincoln's letter to the
editors of the National Intelligencer, da-
ted the 25th of July. In this letter Mr.
l.. brands the Globes report of his speech
as forgery, and says that ''the subs,an-
tive facts as stated by all, so far as it re-
spects the procurement of the furniture in
the Presidents house. NO MORE
QUESTION THAN THEMSELVES.
In regard to the brutal attack of our
pugnacious neighbor, (for he really seems
DESTROYS to make it appear tina. he is shot
for fight or row!'') on the character of
Mr. Ogle, we unqualifedly pronounce his
charges all fummery and humbuggery-
not a word of his charges is true, and he
cannot substantiate single assertion that
he has made against him. Mr. Ogle is a
good old Pennsylvania farmer, and be-
cause of his talents and moral worth, his
fellow citizens have for many years con-
fided their political business at Washing
ton into his hands. and for his faithfulness
to his constituents and the interests of the
people he has eve, incurred threat of
aanihilatiom from the pr,any-aliner Of
the Gazette! ga scoundre'' indeed!
Sir, were you in the vicinity of Mr. Ogle's
district we think your chances would be
rather too good for test of your pugna-
city.

MURDER.-On Monday, the 18th inst. man
named John Turner shot another named John
L. Dauis, both residents of Van Buren, county,
in this Territory. We have been informed by
a gentlemen who was present, chat Difficult.
ty arose between the parties at "shooting
match for beef" Mr. Davis died in an hour
after he received the wound, which was in
ficted by a rifle ball. Turner immed ately
made his escape, and had not been trken at
our last advices. The parties were brothersin-
law.
Since the above was in type we have seen
the brother of Davis, who handed in the ad-
vertisement, which may be seen in another
column. According to his statement, it was
most cold blooded murder. and we hope
that all will feel interested in detecting and
securing the murderer. Mr. D. informed us
that he requested the Governor to offer re.
ward, but he declined on the ground that
there was no money in the Territorial Treas.
