DOUBLE GUEssING.--Prior to the late
election in Lee county to fill the vacancy
accustomed by the resignation OF Baker,
the Hawkeye proclaimed Espy The
"Dodge" candidate, and thereupon ven
lures the prediction that in case of his
election, an extra session Of the Legisla-
ture would undoubtedly be called. Kent
receiving the nomination OF the true De-
mocracy OF Lee, Espy becomes the ia
vorlte Of the Wing section Of the "pos-
sum" platoon, and receives their support,
but is defeated, whereupon Kent is de-
clared to have been the real "Dodge"
candidate, and, therefore, all doubts must
vanish as to the calling Of an extra ses-
sion. How consistent.
Quere:-lf Lee county could not af
ford an ''anti-Dodge,'' or ''anti-Democrat-
ic" candidate for the vacant seat, how
will the Wing Senators and Representa-
tives from that county justify themselves
in the course pursued by them last win
ter? Can the Hawkeye answer?
Arrival of Mr.. Mooney.-Thls some
what noted Irish Lecturer and Vocalist,
has at length made his appearance among
us. We announced him to appear last
week, but the difficulty of crossing the
river at that time, led him to change his
course. He is now, however, before this
community for a brief season, and from
the reputation he has acquired, as a true
and faithful deineator of Irish character,
we cannot but believe, that all who may
attend his concert, will be highly enter
tanned. Many Of our citizens are from
the Emerald Isle, and to meet one direct
from their place Of nativity, who is emf
nenl]y and peculiarly qualified to revive
old and endearing recoIIecions, to infuse
into them a spirit Of the past, and recite
a brief history Of the present condition Of
Ireland, is a leasure rather to be desired
On their part, than courted on his. Judge
Carleton has kindly consented to adjourn
the Court on Thursday evening, for his
benefit. We predict full house.

Neu York.-Accordng to the COM
putation Of the Journal Of Commerce, on
ly thu e-ffths Of the votes Of New York
were polled at the recent election. The
decrease is 1875, 100 votes-of which 49,
Col arc democratic, and sc, $50 are wing.
From this we infer that the wings can
not count upon New York at tho next
Presidential election.

Great Me, wiH Digsr.--We were char

For proof that We are not alone in this
opinion, We submit an extract from that
staunch and uncomprom;sing wing Jour
nal , the ST.. Louis Republican:
In publishing an article. from cor

Democrat, the editor remarks: "Mr.

what propriety we cannot say. lie was

You're Badly Foolcd.-In referring to
the speech Of Henry Clay before receiv-
ing it, our contemporary Of the Standard
says :-"l1enry Clay was never known to
dodge political question, or to play the
der'agogue for the sake Of ofice.' Our
neighbor will pardon US for saying that
we have read the speech very carefully,
and cannot find single word in it, about
the Bank Tariff, or Distribution.
~Michael McCune, engaged a, mi
ming in the shaft Of Mr.. Wilds, fell yes
terday, and very seriously, if not mortal
~, injured himself. How the accident
happened we are unable to inform our
readers, but the result is most heart-rend
ing. Both ankles are broken, one Of his
knees dlslocated and the back part Of his
head seriously fractured. He was alive,
but lnsenslblc last evening. His physi-
clan thinks he cannot recover This is
the second accident Of the kind, which has
happened in this shalt. Too much care
cannot be observed, by those engaged in
this business.
