JUSTICE TO THE FAITHFUL AND THE UN-

JUSTICE TO THE FAITHFUL AND THE UN.
FAITHFUL.
The following article, which we take from
the "Muscaine Enquirer is an excellent com
mentary upon two classes of democrats in our
State. Those who have the interest OF the
and those who have neither. Those who 6eal
honorably with their adversares and endeavor
to advance The interests and promote the har-
mony of the democratic party, and those who
are guilty of neither. Those " no at heart desire
the success of the democratic party in the com.
ing contests and those who belle their profe ssons
and faith
The Enquirer deals justly with both classes
The Neutrals VS.. the Democracy.
Our brethern of the press are at least waking
up to the unwarrantable interference of the two
proiressedly neutral papers of the State, in the
affairs Of the Democracy. The attacks upon
our faithful and efficient Senator, G. w. Jones,
by these two presses, growing out Of the most
malevolent and envious personal feeling, are
justly exciting the indignation of honest and
men. The editor Of one Of them after
a winter spent in w ashington, in feeble and
efforts to harrass and cnunteryail
Mr. Jones, extort btdck mail from him, as the
price of his silence, has returned home, as full
Of wrath and venom as bottle Of ginger pop is
of gas, and having got the cork out, he is now
foaming at the mouth by force Of the internal
ferment of impotent malice, disappointed amb
ton aud singing sence Of degradation. But
his fury is harmless-he but sinks himself deeper
in intamy, lower in the contempt of good men,
every effort he makes to strike the rcpu alton of
those above him.
We warned The democracy long ago of the
insidous character Of these neutral, covert enc
mies-who but mask, with the garb of reace, a
battery aimed at our harmony and success =
There remains but one way to meet this sneak.
ing kind of warfare, and that is to treat the
authors Of it as open and avowed enemies, or
deal out to them the ignominious punishment of
the spy. By dallying with them, we but aff,rd
the wished for opportunity to strike US the more
fatally.
Senator Jones may we'll be proud when he
points to his enemies, in Iowa. II he could not
count his friends among the toiIin. people by
the thousand-if he could refer to no services as
proofs Of his energy and efficiency, the character
Of the hostility to him and the source of it would
be sufficient evidence Of his integrity, his un-
bribed faithtuIn.ss and his fearless, i'm ,ar.
tial, and answering advocacy Of justice and
right.

was an action brought by the city Of Dubuque
against G j. Adams, manager Of the National
Theatre, for performing in that city without H.
cense. Adams proved, in defence, that he had
paid 800, the ultimate amount which, in his
estimation, the Council had right to charge;
but the council contended that the sum only
paid the license for single night The case
was heard before Justice Mathews. and after
argument, the jury rendered a verdict against
Adams. We gather these facts srom the Her.
aid Gatena .8drertiser.
This is not altogether a true version Of the
case. Mr.. Adams received a permit to open
his theatre at ten dollars a night. Unfortunate
" for city, Scrip is at discount of fifty pc,
cent. lfpaid in city Scrip, it would reduce his
lcepse to five dollars night in cash. After
exhsAiting ten nights, and paying one hundred
dollars, Mr.. Adams was advised that he had paid
all, tina, the council could exact, under the Ii
cense upon which they were acting-the nrdi
nance fixing the amount from FIVE, to one hun
dred dollars but failing to fix any specific
time.
= The point raised on the trial, and upon which
the case was decided, was this: Was it compe
tent for the City Council, where there was no
time stated in the ordinance, to fix that time
The Jury in their verdict, held that it was.
/. This we believe is reliable statement Of the
facts All were satisfied that this consruc
ion operated hard upon Mr.. Adams, and there

Adams free permit to exhibit one week

TuE PLAGuE.-Referring to the apprehen.

the approach of disease more fatal than chol

vailing in some Of the West India Islands, and
in some parts Of the West, the Boston Medical
Journal has the following:
'slt is certain, from the accounts rec eved both
here and in England, that the true plague has
been introduced into Madeira, and it's work has
been really appalling. The question has FIRE.
quently been ag,,ated. Will that dreadful
disease ever reach this continent9 There is
reason to believe it will; the wonder is why it
has not already. Our commercial intercourse
is extensive with various ports of Africa and
the Asiatic shore of the Mediterranean, where
this great scourge is never dead or dying, but
simply reposng from one period to another, like
iatigu d giant, TO gather new strength for
renewal of slaughter. Should it come, i, may
be hoped there will be found more science and
a stronger barrier Of medical skill to meet and
disarm it of its terrors, than has been exhibited
in tropical climates, in the filthy, scourge-
inviting regions Of Mos!e,n Turkey Hague
