Dear Doctor Duncan: In your able
and spicy speech against Whiggery in
general last winter, you said there was
one party in this Country that had victo-
ries every day in the year except one,
and i,;at was Election day. We have a
party in this City who had a victory the
dag after Election, and no other. Gan
this lis be the one you spoke Of? Yours al
fectionately,-Log. Ca6in.

GAMBLlNG.-Many of our citizens are
becoming alarmed at the probable in
crease Of the fraternity in this city.
There is a spirit pervading large por-
ton Of this community which is utterly
opposed to every species Of Gambling.
That spirit may appear latent at present,
but il is ready to burst forth at any mo-
nent and drive away gamblers of every
description-a-la-node Vicksburg.
The Legal;zed billiard room is, we
lear, doing much to impair the morals OF
our young men of this city. We see a
great many who have been hitherto con-
'ldered respectable, frequenting that
Place, and learn from good authority,
wat a portion of the last Sabbath was
'e'o!ed TO this legalized amusement.

v1RolNrA.-We have not yet learned
what is the majority for Van Buren, in

those to come in, we should judge his
majority would hardly reach thousand.

JoNEs.-We were led into an error in
stating few days since that Jones, the
murderer of McCardIe, had been taken
and lodged in the Jail at Fort Madison.
At the time we penned the paragraph
there was no Jail at Fort Madison, it
having been burned down a night or
two previous. We presume the story
Of the detection of Jones grew out of the
circumstance of letter having been re-
ceived from him by one Of his relations,
directed to his wife. Instead of handing
it TO his wife, however, the relation de-
posted it in the hands of Mr. Taylor.
the Sheriff, who opened it, learned that
he (Jones) was somewhere near the
mouth of the Ohio, and would wait there
until his wife could come on. Sheriff
Taylor left Immediately in pursuit and
will probably bring back the murderer.

by Gov. Lucas. Gov. L. made the ne

up few days since by the Mayor of
Quincy, and are now in the possession Of

badly call for them in few days. Mr.

ing, very strongly developed.

DEAD CH1LD.-On Sunday of last
week, while some small boys were on
the ice, near shore, they discovered an
infant corpse. They Immediately gave
notice to some of our citizens who re-
paired to the place and took it out of the
water. A stone was attached to its body,
the more effectually to sink it, and its
arms were secured by handkerchief.
A Jury was called, but we have not
learned what was the verdict rendered.
Several physicians were called to ex-
anime the body, and we understand that
they gave it as their opinion that the
child must have been several hours old
when it was cast into the river by lis
guilty and murderous parents. No clue
has yet been obtained by which the MUIR
derer or murderers can be detected. They
may even escape the detection of man.
but the omniscient eye of God rests
upon them and their sin, sooner or la
ter, will surely find them out.

Dreadful Earthquake-T0wn DESTROY
ed-lOOO buried in the Ruins.-The Jour
nal de st. Petersburg of Sept IL, publish
es letter, dated Tiais, August 8, giving
an account of terrible earthquake at Mt.
Ararat, which has totally destroyed the
town Of Makltcheman, damaged all the
buildings at Erivan, and devastated the two
districts of Sharour and Sourmate, in Ar
menla. All The villages in those districts
have been destroyed. The earth is rent
IN such q manner, that all the cotton and
rice plantations have persisted for want of
water. But the most awful event has ia
ken place in the neighborhood Of Mt. Ar
arat. A considerable mass was loosened
from the mountain, and destroyed every
thing in its way for the distance of seven
wersts. (nearly five English miles
Among others, the great village Of Ak
-houli has had the fate Of Hercuaneum and
Pompeii. Above 1000 inhabitants were
buried under heaps Of rocks. A thick flu
id, which afterwards became river, ran
from the interior Of the mountain, which
was opened, and following the same direc-
ton, swept over the ruins, and carried with
It the corpses of the unfortunate inhabitants
OF Akhouli, the dead animals, &c. The
shock continued 10 be felt every day in the
aforementioned districts, and entirely laid
them waste f; then the shocks became less
frequent.

In less than three weeks from tnis time
our territorial Legislature will commence
its session and so far as we can Judge The
people are expecting much in the way Of
reform IN our territorial laws. We have
been at considerable pains to make enquir.
les as extensive as possible, for the pur.
pose of ascertaining the sentiments of the
people with respect TO the proposed chan
ges, and have found but one opinion, with
out a single exception. With respect to
our present county organizations, the uni
ve!sal feeling seems TO be, it must be re-
formed. Every one is tired of the present
system it is regarded unworthy the in
telligence of the people, and altogether be-
hind the present enlightened age. Indeed,
we doubt very much, whether it has an open
advocate in Racine county. In Milwau-
keo and Walworth counties, we speak adj
vsdly IN saying, the people are unani-
mously rife for 4 change. Ofthe western
counties in this territory, we cannot speak
with so much certainty but if cur incor-
nation may be relied upon, great major
lty oil the people are opposed to our pres
ent system of county government
In the mean time for the purpose of brin-
ging the subject fully and unequivocalv
before our Territorial lie 5isature, we would
recommend the people TO get up petitions.
praying the legislature to abolish our coun-
ty commissioner system, and establish one
more republican and economical, and one
better suited TO the interests of the people
in its place. Ii is an insult to the intelIi-
gence of the people to say, the organized
towns IN this territory have not the ability
TO govern their own internal affairs-For
the purpose of obtaining the desirable re-
form, no time should be lost: if the people
are determined upon a change, the sooner

Southport, tw. IT, November 10, 1910.


The returns Of the Presidential contest
are coming in; we have not yet however,
got sufficient TO tellhow any one state has
gone. From the Chicago American we ga
ther the returns ascertained and estimated,
from twenty-one counties in northern Hi
noIs. In those twenty-ore counties the
Harrison majority is in tho neighborhood
of 1900, contcnded by the American gain
OF upwards of 400 since August. 1t is diff
hcult forming an opinion with regard to
the result in this state. The wings appear
to be sanguine that they have carried it,
but It will be recolleeted that the majority
in August was someI5 or thousand Demo
cratic, SO that they have yet considerable
to overcome. We should not like to risk
our reputation for prophecy BY venturing
an opinion; we vii! content ourselves by
hoping for the best
Indiana, there can be no doubt how she
will 60. The returns from four counties
show wing majority of ZIG votes, con-
tended small wing gain since August.
She may be set down for Harrison, by an
uncertain majority, between one and fifteen
thousand.
Ohio Indicated in her late gubernatoria
election that her electoral vote would be
cast for the wing candidates. The returns
thus far appear to confirm the indication.
Thlrty-four counties have given q wing
majority of upwards Of twenty thousand
votes. We presume the counties to be
heard from viii reduce this majority.
We have returns from five counties in
Michigan, showing wing majority OF one
hundred eighty-four votes. We are not
able to compare this with any former vote.
Six counties in Pennsylvania are heard
from and the figures before US show an in
crease in the wing majority of about 1000
votes. These are the strongest wing coun-
ties in the state and poll about 10000 votes
We have but little doubt that PENNSYLVANIA
will cast her electoral vote for Van Buren,
and Johnson.
These returns we copy from the Chica-
60 America, they are in figures and most
probably correct. We do not yet see any
cause tor exultotion or dependency with
either party. If Illinois goes for Van Blu
rem, we infer from the rest Of the returns
that things will go just about as they were
expected.

The proprietors of the steamship, Pre-
sident, have dismissed Capt. Fayrer from
the command Of that vessel, because the
Britannia beat her on the first trip out. We
should judge from this that captains are ex-
pected hereafter, to supply any deficiency
in the speed, even if it should result from
the improper construction of the boat or the
engine.

MEsSRS EDITORS:
Sirs, Through the columns Of your paper
| would request the privilege Of calling the
attention of our farmers to the subject of
the formation Of an agricultural society for
the county of Racine. All who read on
the subject must be satisfied Of their bene-
fetal tendency in an agricultural commu-
nifty. Our prosperity depends upon the
right and proper use of the advantages we
possess. would sugges: the proprietv of
mass or general meeting Of all who feel
an interest on the subject, and free inter
change of opinion which will, have no
doubt, be productive Of beneficial results to
our farming interests. | would propose
that the meeting take place on the first
Tuesday of February, l94l, at the court
house, in this county.
| would also suggest to our farmers the
propriety of purchasing the whole seven
numbers of the "Cutivator," published at
Albany, N. York. The whole work can
be bought for IS 90, and the postage will
amount to only ninety-seven and & half
cts. | believe it to be the best tent book in
existence for the farmers of our latitude
Our post-masters will any of them forward
the money to the publishers free of charge.
