there be any preachers or lay Christians in
our city who pray for the increase, prosperity
and upbuilding of Billiard Saloons and
Bowling Alleys as moral institutions, de-
signed and calculated to promote the spirit

The City Fathers have moral duty to per

In active pursuits, such men as our CITY needs,

There is little inducement for them. They
find more company elsewhere, and are not

FoR kEoKUK Last Friday Mr.. Henry X.
Love took leave Of his friends in this Mace
with the intention of making his future res
idence in keokuk, Iowa. Some month since
he disposed of his interest in the wholesale
dry goods house, with which, for three or
four years past, he was connected, in Zanes-
vile, to hispartners, and he now goes to Keo-
knk with the intention, we believe. of very
soon opening banking house in that CITY
We part with Mr.. Love with regret. So long
was he identified with the interests of Me-
Connelsville, ever since boyhood until with
in three or four years,-and even while in
Ianesvlle, he was all the time more or less in
intimate business relations with this commu

CO Candor is evinced in the following
article from the New York Mirror, a paper

denied by any candid, fair minded reader.
that Mr.. Stewards recent speech on the Kan
sas question is one Of the ablest speeches
that the Senate has listened to or that the
people have read upon the subject. 1t is a
calm, dlgnlhed, patriotic, statesman like
document, and one in which we find little or
nothing to censure. That it truly represents
the sentiments Of the great body Of the peo-
pie of the North, it would be false and fool
ish to derry. We are constrained to express
these honest opinions Of Mr.. Stewards
speech, in Justice to ourselves as well as TO
him. The fact that we do not belong to the
"Scward party" or to any mans party, does
not prevent US from giving credit when cred
it is due, even to the most conspicuous of
Of our political opponents; and to confess
the honest truth, we do not find any thing
in Mr.. Stewards views Of the Kansas imbrog-

Mr.. Seward opposed the repeal Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, SO did the Mirror; he
now prefers that Kansas should come into
the Confederacy free State, and so does
the Mirror. Agreeing with him, therefore,
in these main points, we should be ashamed
to be ranked among Mr.. Stewards revlers,
merely because we happen to differ from him
on some minor matters. In private, Mr. Sc
ward is n gentleman without reproach or
blemish and in his more recent public
course, even his political enemies, Il thew
We're honest enough to confess it, find far
more in him that is worthy Of commentator
than of censure; and the Mirror is indie
pendent enough to say 80.

Illustrative of the treatment which the Red
Man has received at the hands of his white
brother:
'.We met Col. Stambourg to day in the
rotunda of the Capitol, and while we were
looking mt the carved representations over
the doorways of the rotunda, the veteran In
dian Agent told us that, in 1880, with the
delegation Of Menomonee Indians, he visited
the Capitol, and explained the nature and
design of the stone groups in the rotunda,
when the chief, Grizzly Bear, turned to the
eastern doorway, over which there is repre-
sentation of the landing Of the Pilgrims, and
said, There lngen give white man corn Z
