The most OF those persons who talk thus
are influenced by selfish motives-money

arrive here from the East with money in

Being thus disappointed, they join in the
"thread-bare story" Of scarcity Of money

they were not. Davenport has back

agricultural country in the world to sup
port it--none of them had. The farmers Of
this State have a large surplus to send to

the stringency of the money market East
can affect us but little as long as you give

The public sales this week have been
many and very large, and property Of all
kinds has been sold at better prices than
at any time heretofore. Geo. l.. Nichols,
agent, has closed two sales this week OF
over $1,000 at prices entirely satisfactory
to the sellers. Very much property is
thrown into the market lately, especially
good farms, because the prices Of sales JUS
tify parties in re-inyesting further back from
the river, and not because farmers need the

Immigration 10 Inwa

Our Iowa exchanges from all parts Of
the State are full of accounts Of the rapid
increase Of population in their different To-
callties every Iowa paper thatwe take up
makes mention Of a line Of enigraBt wag-
ons travelling westward, and every ferry in
the State isfurnished with abundant en-
ployment in transporting across the streams
those seeking new homes on Iowa soil.
In a flying visit to Chicago last week, we
spoke wxh gentleman at the Chicago an
Rock Island depot, who informed us that
from sheer curiosity, he had within a few
days asked the passengers in twenty three
wel filled cars on that road to what States
they were going, and the answer from eleven

Davenport and Rock Island.

The following is what the editor Of the
Cedar Valley Times has to say in relation
to our city and Rock Island. We copy il
for the purpose Of contradictiug what is
said Of the latter city. The two cities are
bound together by one common interest and
will fall or prosper together. The bridge
will have little effect upon the prosperity
of either -
"Few cities of Iowa have a finer prospect
of success in the future than Davenport
1t is increasing with great rapidity-its trade
is immense and must Of necessity continue
to increase in the future. 1t is already far
ahead Of Rock Island and will venture the
prediction that when the cars cross the Mis-
sissppi to Davenport, the days of Rock Is
land are numbered in sorrow. Davenport
win dance with JOY and feel in its every
sinew the electric currents of unmistakable
success.
$50 goes the world, cities grow up and
die out-even as rich men grow richer and
luxuriate more and more in wealth until
by some unforeseen agency they find their

The CHECK REIS-A writer in the Buff
falo Democrat is out strongly and truthfully
against the use.of the check rein in driving
horses. He maintains that it is an unna.-
ursl contrivance, used by no nation on earth
save the English and their imtutors the
Americans. In conclusion he adds =
"The check rein should be abolished 1t
W astes motive power. It's use is Unhealthy
for it distutbs the otherwise naturally end
equally distributed vital forces. 1t shortens
the life Of the horse. 1t dininishes his
speed and lessons the free and quick ac-
ton. so essential to the animals safety and
that of his driver. It's Of no use, and cam
not confer dignity or grace to an animal that
was made by the Lord. Had man got up
the horse, check reins and all sorts Of con-
trivances would have been allowable not on
ly, but perhaps necessary but the work Of
the Great Artist cannot be improved upon"

STAGE HORSES KlLLEp.-We. learn that
yesterday, the leaders Of one Of the stage
teams between this city and Scales Mound,
somewhere beyond Galena river, were kill
ed in consequence of falling down an old
mineral shaft The mouth of the shaft be-
ing partially covered with brush, the driver
did not notice it, and turned his horses out
at that point to avoid mud-hole, he drove
the leaders directly in. In falling they for
tunately became diseHgaged from the pole,
otherwise the consequences might have been
much worse. One of the horses was in
stantty killed, and the other was So badly in
Jured, that he was shot to relieve him from
hls suiterings. They were two of the most
valuable animals on the road Galena Gaz.
It's remarkable that more such accidents
do not occur among the mineral holes in that
vicinity.

DAVENPORT TRADE. editor of the
Cedar Valley Times writing from this city
in respect to Dubuque says 81 do not
think the amount of trade here is equal &c
to that in Davenport, and though it does mol
cost as much to get freight to this place
from New York, as to that city, vet it has
much less of it."
How our contemporary arrives at the con-
clusion that it costs less to get freight to
Dubuque than to Davenport we cannot
opine, as either by river or railroad ithas to
pass Davenport to reach Dubuque.
