A QUIBBLE.


II is amusing 10 witness the quibbling OF the
editor of the Auxiliary Wing Print, upon the
sabiect Of a Southern railroad. A man who ha
so long and uniformly opposed southern road ).
through his journal, on the streets and in public
meetings, where every one in town and country
had an opportunity to become familiar with said
opposition to claim at this late day, that his op-
position attached merely 10 tue curve made by
going to Cedar Rapids, when ore OF his main
arguments against the road was Its parallelism
to the Nj ssissipp, is not only surprising, but
Imaginable. Can the editor recoliect the meet
ting at Globe Hall on certain occasion, during
the tendency in Congress Of the "lowa Land
Bill" when it was desirable to bolster up the
bill by an expression from this city and he and
DR.. Holt and their corporais guard fought with
their might against the adoption Of resolutions
in support Of the bill and in favor Of others fol
q road to the Big Sioux
If the editor will refer to his files, he will find
that his memory is greatly at fault in this
tea,ter and that in place Of combining his OPPOSE
tisn to merely the route Of the road he wa,
opposed TO the road itself. His idea then wa,
that a southern road would take the business
from Dubuque in place of bringing it to thu
place and we recolleet about this time that b.
went into 4 labored argument to show that !
would not pay 10 take freight By this route
The editor has too often and too emphaticalll
placed himself upon record, to leave any doub
upon this subject. We have the documents il
our possession to prove his position, but W
do not consider the matter Of sufficient impor
lance TO warrau, the labor Of extracting iron
his files.

A GOOD MOVE

l is in contemplation by the City Council to
establish Street Commissioner ard 10 sepa.
rate the ntI:ce Of Collector Of City taxes from
that of Marshal For rrme years the Marshal
has been sci, cted To collect the taxes but
the duties of both Marshal and Collector have
greatly increased of late, it is important that
change should take place, and we are glad to
know that the Council have resolved TO make
it,
None will deny the Importance and necessity
Of Street Commissioner. The selection Of an
Intelligent, practical, business man TO superin-
tend the improvement of the streets will relieve
the Aldermen from ardunus and responsible
duties which do no, legitimotely belong to the
Office, and no doubt save the city by the econo-
my of planning and executing the work, three

amount to- casual survey Of some of The

have been expended, in constructing channel

render it both difficult and dangerous to travers
the streets, will fully justify the conclusion
to which we have arrived, and fully estabhs
beyond The risk Of rational objection, the pres
ent necessity Of such an officer.
We shall be glad to record the changes con

FRENCH DECLARATION OF WAR.

French government has issued its declaration
Of war against Russia. The ball is now fairly
opened and the great contest may be consider
ed as begun Russia is reported TO have three
hundred thousand men on the Danube and the
English and French are concentrating their
available Naval force in the vicinity of the scene
Of action Events of great magnitude in the
history Of the world are about to transpre.-
The power mental and material Of three of the
most powerful nations of the world, is about TO
be fully tested. Millions Of property and rivers
IF blood are about to be offered sacrifice to
the god of war. What is to be the duration OF
this contest, or what the condition of nations
when it terminates, is problem which none
are able to solve Who knows but France viii
be revolutionized and England overthrown :
Who knows but Poland and Hungary may rise

but Italy, Spain and the principal German gov
ernments may become involved in the contest
Every thing indicates a general, mighty and
prolonged struggle. The result will doubtless
change the des,nies Of some Of the European
