doubt Dubuque meant to ask for lands But
what he had right to ask for under bis contract
With the Indians and what the governor meant
to grant, and could grant, under that eSasrast
Mining was the motive that induced DMhRNse
to settle among the Indians; he pursued il fer
eight years before he petitioned the governor;
the governor referred the petition 10 Todd for
information. Todd replies, that as to the land
for which he asks, nothing occurs to me why it
should not be granted, if you find it convent

buque shall observe The provisions of his ma

It cannot be presumed that tie Governor had
not read the petition before be gave his order

it was not his intention TO confer upon Du-
buque the benefit Of his purchase from the
Indians. The reference to Todd was out of

ing himself Chief Engineer, he has actually struck

other daring policeman has quenched a tolerably
large confagration before the iremen arrived; and
that at the same terrific fire. they saved the lives of
several men, women, and children, at the imminent
risk Of losing their own valuable lives.
This base stuff and these monstrous lies which
daily fill the columns Of the press concocted by the
police department as early and valuable news, may
have rendered the police department little more
tolerabe with the people, but at the same time, it
has created q breach and deadly hatred between
the policemen and the firemen that will not be
eaced while the present of editors shall exist
And If they would atone for the mischief they have
thus created, and would have more friendly relations
subsist between the police and fire departments, the
sooner they stop such disgusting nonsense the bet

Both work for pay, and not for public utility and

now begin TO see the motive of this. The motive
was twofold. First, to make the police system po-
