CHAPTER II.


/. Now it came 10 pass on the morrow
after tho Rechabites had made an end Of

cause they were not invited 70 take seats il
the councils Of the Rechabites, and assist
them in choosing rulers over the people.
g Now the Rechabites were forbidden
the use of wine 10 those days by their
fathers; and il came to pass that spots fall
Of wine and cups were set before them and
i was said unto them drink ye wine."-
"But they said we will drink no wine, for
Jonadab the son Of Rechab our father com
handed US saying, ye shall drink no wine,
neither ye nor your sons forever" DER. 80.

3. Now for this cause were the "Gen
titles aud other outsiders forbidden to come
into the Temple with the Rechabites, and
they went about the streets and highway
mourning until the even.
4. And when the even was coma GER
tain OF the chief rulers Of the Gentiles spake
unto their brethren, saying: ''behold these
Rechabites! why have they done this thing
which is evil in our eyes!
5. "Go to let us come up together this
night, aud hold council that we may des
troy their works: for if one Judas, when
they have chosen, be placed to rule over
Us, our wine-pots will be broken, our whis
key barrels be empted, and our grog-shop'
be carried away captive: for behold thi.
ma Judas is s'turbulent, and brawIer, a
lover of contention" and cares not for any
man so that the law be fulfilled which il
given him to exercise over the people.

selves together, and lei not this thing bs
known unto the Rechabi,es, and, althougl
we be but few, yet nre we great and nigh

Rechabiies: and Of their place Of meeting

FOR PRESIDENT,
FERRY MONOPOLY.

Ii is generally known to our citizens
that while a ferry charter has been granted
Capt. Wilson, Of Rock Island, by Scott
county, the same favor has been refused
by Rock Island county to couple Of ouI
citizens. OF this we do not complain Sc
much IS of the means used BY Capt Will
son in his double rights, to run off Messrs
Remer s. Grant and again nonopolize the
exclusive ferry privilege. Il will be re
mcmbcred that heretofore. whenever q
few cakes OF ice were found floating in the
river, Capt. Wilson charged foot passen,
gers from 40 to 80 cents ferfiage-taking
advantage of loop in bis charter thus to
impose upon the travelling public The
same exaction was pursued in regard 10
teams, 80 that full one-th I'd OF these that
would have crossed s! Davenport availed
themselves of the mere raiionsi rates es-
tablished at Moline. Above such conduct,
Messrs. Rener g. Grant have continued
to charge the established rateof 10 cents.

mined 10 run them off that be may again
exiort from the travelling public, Capt.
Wilson has put down bis ierrisge from
Davenport 10 Rock Island 10 5 cents--a
sum that he has confessed to US repeatedly
he did not consider remunerating. In do.
ing this he not only commits manifest in
Justice to the two young men who have
Incurred so much expense in building
boats, but to the citizens Of Rock Island 10
charging the double rate of ferriage he re-
quires of the people of Davenport.
II this we're subject affecting merely
the private advantage Of The rival parties
we should have nothing 10 say in respect
10 it, but as il is one that concerns material
~ the interests of our citizens and IN some
degree The prosperity of our place, vel
must condemn the course pursued BY Capt.
Wilson and ask our citizens no. TO sustain
him in it. We cannot ihink that the PEG
pie Of Rock Island sanction Capt. Wilson's
course, and we now ask as matter strict.
ly Of justice, that they grant the same
rights 10 Messrs. Renler & Grant thai
Scott county has conferred upon one Of
their citizens.

through the Cincinnati Commercials
we are not in the habit Of drawing upon
