EpIToRs OF THE EXPRESS


My attention has
been called to an Editorial article in the Daily
Herald of the 5th inst, headed ''TBE OFFICERS"
in which find the following sentence; referring
to the Post Office.
"The Jones contrigidy prefer MIR. Hardie,
who, it is said, was promised the Office year
ago by Jones himself
would not have noticed the above thus
publicly, had it not been for the assertion it con-
tains, that ! have been promised az Office by
Gen. Jones, and my desire to correct said state
ment.
In justice to the above named gentleman /
feel therefore called upon to say that have
never directly or indirectly received promise
of Office from him; no, not even the slightest
intimation that he would favor me with his in
dueuce for the above, or any other office.

SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT.

We learn from the Jackson county. Press, that
three or four Of the wealthy citizens of Bellevue
have purchased a steam Boat to run from that
town, to Galena, Dubuque and the Wisconsin
river.
This is the kind of enterprise which builds up
a new town. 1t would be well if some Of CUR
wealthy Merchants would take example from
those of Bellevue.

REPEAL OF THE BANKING Law 1t will
be seen, that a law has passed the Senate to re-
peal the General Banking Law. The probabi
tities are stiong that it will pass the House. Its
repeal will not affect those banks which have
commenced business under it. Under any cir
cumstances, we do not think the danger at all
alarming, that the State will suffer for want Of a
paper currency, even if the law IS repealed, es
pecially as Wisconsin will soon be on hand to
relieve any prospect of famine on the account.
The people should not receive illegal issues at
any rates; but if by mistake, you have any on
hand, send it for redemption, if that will do any
good. If not. pocket the loss, and say nothing
about it. What is the great difference between
circulating paper bogus and bogus in imitation
of gold and silver p Galenq .2drertiser.
From the above article it is plain to be seen,
that trouble is ahead in the way of banks in Iii
nois, and that the Legislature Of that State have
been compelled to adopt some measure, to pro-
tect the people from the many sharks and Shil.
ocks Of that State.
This oughtto be a warning to our people that
they are not seduced into such net.
