IRRIe aTING MAcHINE.-We understand that
A. y Patterson, L a., Senator from Musca.
tine, has invented machine for irrigating
gardens &C.. during drouth. We hope the
Mu>catine Journal will get description Of
it and publish it for the benefit of the public
at large.-Linn county Register.
Our contemporary is informed that we have
no cut of the machine. The only correct
drawing of it ever executed, which was the
work of DR.. Allen, of Lee county, was pur-
loned by the member from Poweshiek. Mr..
Wilson, of the Iowa Farmer, ought to have
a sufficiently distinct recollection Of its ope-
ratio from its first exhibition to give good
of it. Ask him!

AMERIcANIsM STILL KIcKING.-The Amer
leans of Indiana, headed by R.W. Thompson,
of Terre Haute, an old Whig Congressman,
the same that threw the electoral vote of the
State into the hands of Buchanan, in 1856,
held mass meeting at Terre Haute, week
since, and while tacitly opposing the LIE
compton iniquity, they rolled themselves up
in the customary resolutions of ''national"
self righteousness, denouncing both the
Democrats and Republicans as sectional,
and thanking God that they are not as other
men. 1t comes very hard for these old fogies
to recognize the fact that they are dead.

TThe Hon. Samuel r. Curtis member of
Congress from the lst District of this State,
has made his mark in the present Congress.
His speeches upon the Mormon Question, the
Lesompton lniquity, and other subjects,
have won for him high standing.

THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. - Messrs.
Stephens, English and Howard were an
nounced to the Senate, on the 10Th, as mem
bers of the Conference Committee on the
part of the House. ssMr. Speaker Orr, :"
says the Chicago Press, "has make good
selection to favor the designs Of the Admin.
istration. Stephens is the life and soul Of
Lecompton in the House. English, having
succumbed to the potent influences emanating
from the White House, will agree with Mr..
Stephens. Howard is a good and true Re-
publican, and will in all probability have an
opportunity to make minority report ad-
verseto that of his colleagues. 1t is evident
that the battle is to be fought over in the
House, with some prospect of an Admins
tration triumph"

APPOINTMENTS. = We understand that
Messrs. Griffith and Kasson, of Des Moines,
and Mr.. Seely, Of Guthrie, have been ap-
pointed to examine the books and accounts
of the State officers, by Gov. Lowe, in &C.
cordance with a joint resolution of the Leg
islature providing for such commission.
We trust that thorough work will be made
of this examination, and that if there be
anything wrong, it may be exposed and
righted, and if, on tho other hand, all is fair
and honest, that all grounds of suspicion
and elimination may be removed.

Florence Again.

Florence is again depreciating in value,
and is now held at 90 cents, the figures at
which our merchants are taking it. This is
undoubtedly a bastard currency, and ought
to be driven out of circulation Rock Island
Argus, l4th.
We learn that Davenport sharpers are
again endeavoring to secure credit and cir
culation for this trash about Iowa City and
in the western part of this county. They
are distributing it, together with Burrows &
Prettyman's shinplasters, as freely as water
We advise everybody to stand from under.
While eastern exchange can be had at Dav-
export with Illinois currency for 2 per cent.
Cook & Sargent themselves are asking Is
per cent. for it if paid for in Florence. This
is fact, as we have it from undoubted au-
thority. Out upon such swindling!

SATURDAY, APRIL II, 1858.


There was an interesting Railroad meeting
held at Upton, in Cedar county, on Thursday
evening last The object of the meeting was
mainly to hear tho report Of a committee
previously appointed to ascertain what as
sistance could be obtained towards continu-
ing the Muscatine Railroad from Wilton
Junction via Upton to Anamesa, in Jones
county. Letters were read from persons
connected with the Dubuque Southwestern
Railroad, from gentlemen in Anamosa, from
several citizens in Muscatine, and from other
quarters, all of which were highly aattering
as to the prospects of the road. A highly
interesting letter from Mr.. Farnam was read,
in which it was shown that after the present
year it will only require the construction of
10 miles of Railroad to make continuous
line from Keokuk to Dubuque; that forty
five miles of road would connect Muscatine
with Dubuque, and that the road, when con-
structed, would be good one. The Du-
buque Southwestern will be completed to
Anamosa during the present year; and, as
connection by rail between Keokuk and Du-
buquei is certain soon to be made, it behooves
those interested to see that the proper direc-
ton is given to it. An extension of the
Muscatine road to Upton would fix the
matter beyond cavil, and make Muscatine
point in the road
We know that our citizens are interested
in this road They have so expressed them
selves on all occasions, by their voices and
their votes, and We are certain that they will
be ready and willing to do the needfal when
the proper time arrives. We think the time
has arrived, and that we should 20 to work
energetically to secure this road.
Auscatine was represented at the meeting
by J. Scott Richman, Esq, who assured the
citizens of Upton that Muscatine was ready
and willing to do all that could reasonably
be required of her in the premises. The
people of Cedar county manifest much in
terest in this road, and, we doubt not,
arrangements will soon be made to move in
the matter.

FATAL ELECTION RIOT AT QUEBEc.-The Montreal
Herald of December 30th contains some further
particulars of the fatal election riot In Quebec be-
fore briefly alluded to by telegraph:
1t is evident that the city was, throughout Mon
day, in the hands of gangs of rowdies, who were
quite beyond the control of the authorizes. The
forces were furnished by Champlain street and
st Roch's; and each side imputes the origin to
the other. The chief conflict In st. John
suburbs owing, ii appears, to difficulty In poll
ing all the voters which came there from the
Banieu. This difficulty led 10 an incurson from
Champlain street. but the invaders were, 1t seems,
beaten back by ths denzens of the place. 1t was
here that Robert Newman and VIM. Wallace re-
ceiyed the wounds which caused their Deaths
Newman was taken to the house Of Mr.. Faleey,
which was set upon by the mob and all the win
dows smashed. 4 detachment of the 18th regi-
ment at last came the ground under the COM
mand of Mr.. Ciapham, acting magistrate; but
the troops took no active part against the mob
Mr.. Evanturel, desiring TO swear the voters In
Mountain ward. was threatened and protected by
Mr.. Alieyn. Mr.. Plamondon also threatened
la ST. Rochs. 1t 10 said that the FaHges took pos
session Of the polls in st. Rochs, aud detach-
ment of the 30th regiment, under Capt. Rhodes, as
magistrate, turned out-but they did not fnd it
necessary to act.
