The Hawkeye Of Thursday announces
the names Of Richard Noble, Slas "A. Hud-
SON, HIM. Sunderland, Thomas Blair and
Davd Scott, as candidates for the House Of
Representatives. This forms complete
ticket for the House, and is the one which
will probably be supported by the wings of
the county with considerable unanimity.-
The four gentlemen first named are Known
as open and undisguised wings, and Mr..
Scott has heretofore been called democrat.
He has been placed upon the ticket under
the belief that the democrats of the north
ern portion Of the county will support him,
but in this, we apprehend, they will be
sadly disappointed. We are unadviscd as
10 whether MIR. SCOTS name has been used
with his permission; but if it is he has for
fsited all claims to support from the de-
mocracy. The ticket nominated by the
convention is one in every respect worthy
the united support Of the party, and will
receive such support. Mr.. Scott sought
a nomination by the convention and failed;
and now he comes before the people (if he
permits his name TO be used at all) as an
s'anti-caucus candidate" Yes, an anti
caucus candidate, after failing to get the
caucus nomination!
We predicted last week that there would
be an Independent self-constituted wing
ticket, and so it turns out; for If not a
wing, Mr.. Scott is used BY the wings to
defeat the democratic nominees. The
ticket, therefore, is wing ticket. There
may be, and probably is, secret UNDER
standing among our opponents, to turn out
in greater numbers in support Of this tick
ct than has been anticipated, and it behooves
the democrats not to rest too secure of an
easy victory With the proper exertion
whiggery ard mongrelism can both be
made to bite the dust; but without this
there is at all times danger.

3"Mr. DAVIS has been here but a
short tiae," says the Hawkeye. We arc
At loss to conceive the precise meaning
attached By The editor to the words "a short
time," but We can state that to our certain
knowledge Mr.. Davis has resided in the
county fur two years, and how much long
e. we will not undertake to say. This is
four times as long as the residence required
By law IN order To confer citizenship. Our
ncighbor supported Col. Hawkins some
few years since for the Council, when it
was deabful whether he had been in the
county . sufficient length Of time to render
him eligible; but then Col. II was rhig.
Mr.. Davis happens 10 be democrat, and
this makes vast difference. The people,
we apprehend, will decide on Monday tina,
Mr.. Davis has lived long enough among
them 70 be taken into their service; and
should such rove to be Tie case his char.
scier Al rds sufficient guaranty that they
will never have cause 10 complain Of mis-
placed confidence.

~ The Hawkeye takes It much 10
heart that J. u. Wright should have been
left off the ticket for the Legislature.

never be removed. The constitution 10
TOP denocraiic FOR them. II Il favored
banks and corporations generally, provi-
ded for Judiciary far removed from the
people, and established high grade Of
salaries, 10 that the people might be more
heavily taxed than they are likely to be,
they wonld vote for its adoption even were
the boundaries cut down to half the di.
mansions Of the lines established by Con-
gress. The Hawkeye, we all know,
sneered at the boundaries established by
the convention as extravagantly large; and
yet we now find il taking the lead in urg-
ing the rejection Of the constitution, as
signing the cswtailment Of this cxtravacant
boundary as a reason for voting it down!
Again, then, We appeal to that portion Of
our fellow-citizens who had it in contem-
plation 10 vote for the constitution previous
TO the change made in the boundaries, to
pause before voting against it now. II
they do not, but assist in defeating it, We
have strong prescntiment the day is close
at hand when they will rue their course
Every motive by which they have hereto
fore been influenced IN making up their
minds to support the constitution exists Ia
urge upon them an adherence to their frs
resolve, and we hope they will actit ou'
at the polls.

In your letter of the lth Of this month
you call my attention to my communication
Of the 18th Of August, 1874, respecting the
powers Of the commissioners, and the pow
er Of the Treasury Department over the
decisions Of the Commissioners, appointed
under "An act to amend an act authorizing
the laying off a town on Bean river, in the
State of Illinois, and for other purposes"

BY the original act, tract Of land not to
exceed the quantity contained in one en-
tire section, at and including Galena, on
Bean river, in the State Of Illinois, was d.
rected to be laid off into town lots, streets,
and avenues, and into out lots, having re-
gard to the lots and streets already survey
ed; the in lots not to exceed one quarter Of
an acre each, the out lots not to exceed the
quantity of two acres each.
BY the I'd section, it was made the duty
OF the Surveyor General to class the lots,
then already surveyed in the said town Of
Galena, into three classes, according to their
relative value, without regard to the i'm
provements thereon, and previous 10 the
sale Of said lots, each and every person, or
his heirs or representatives "who shall
heretofore have obtained from the agent Of
the United States permit to occupy any
lot or lots in the said town Of Galena, or
who shall have actually occupied or improv-
ed any lot or lots in the said town, or With

be laid off into lots, shall be permitted to
purchase such lot or lots, by paying there

fecsly apparent that the protest Of the

be taken as conclusive evidence by The
President that the conditions incident 10
