CHESS PLAYING EXTRAORDINARY
Thursday afternoon last a very interest
ing affair came off at the Dubuque Chess
Club Rooms. Mr.. Louis Paulsen, to-
gether with a number of his brother
members, among them the best chess
players of our city, met to give another
exhibition of his powers at blindfold
playing, in more wonderful degree than
he had ever vet done. The men were
placed upon fifteen boards, and antagon-
lists appointed to each, and in one in
stance two at board, when be under
took the task Of playing fifteen simuta-
neous games. The playing commenced
at 9, and with the interval of tea, contin-
ued until 10 O'Clock. In this time some
twenty five moves were made, and in ev-
cry instance but one, which might pro-
badly have proved draw, he had the
advantage, which, if the games had been
concluded, would have given him the
victory. This is the greatest feat in chess
playing known, being a greater number
by seven than the renowned Morphy has
yet succeeded in playing, and greater
number probably than he will ever reach
Stree the Chess Congress held in New
York city, at which Mr.. Paulsen relied
entirely on his own genius, Mr.. p. has
been engaged in studying the games OF
the great masters, and we opine, should
Mr.. Morphy ever have the pleasure OF
meeting our renowned fellow townsman
again, he will find a more formidable op-
ponent than he did in the same gentleman
in the Congress at New York, or than he
has met in his European tour.-Du5. Sun.

The Result in Illinois-Offciai Vote

The Result in Illinois-Oficial Vote.
The Chicago Press d Tribune of the
18th, contains the official vote Of the
State. That paper says that, taking the
vote on Congressman as test, the Re-
publican majority over both wings of the
Democracy-the boilers and the Nation
als--is ninety-seven that the majority
of Miller, Republican, for State Treas
arer, over Fondey, (Doug.) is four
thousand and twenty five; that Douglas
is in a minority of nine thousand one
hundred and sixteen votes. The Bu-
chanan vote is 5,O9l.
AS we have said before, but for an un
fair apportionment of the State, Douglas
would have been defeated in the Legisla-
ture, as his party has been in the popu-
lar vote. The people of Illinois are fol
Lincoln, and Mr.. Douglas, should he be
reelected to the United States Senate,
will not represent the will Of his con
stituency
In the election the Republicans retain
ed every county that went for Fremont
or Bissell in 1856, They have redeem
ed from the Democracy seven counties
which went for Buchanan two years ago,
viz: De Witt, Logan, Coles Edgar,
Piatt, Edwards and Bond-all of which
went against Gov. Bissell, except Ed
wards.
Taking FremonL's vote as standard
of comparison, The Republicans of Hi
nois have gained nearly thirty thousand
votes in two years. The good cause pro-
crosses finely among the Suckers Times

INDEPENDENCE. Nov. 21st, 1858

| INDEPENDENCE, Nov. 21st, 1853.
DEAR GUARDIAN
Agreeably to your suggestion and
invitation, / take the liberty to propose,
through you, to such of your readers as
may have taste for such things, a few
problems, for their solution The first
one that | shall give, is a simple question
in Geometry, viz: frH..a ..t
Required, the length of one side of an
equilateral triangle which shall contain
just one acre.
AS the object of your publishing such
questions is to diffuse knowledge and in
duce study, | would suggest that it
would be well to require any one giving
an answer to any problem, to also give
the method of solving the same, as there
are frequently more ways than one to
obtain correct result, and in such cas-.
cs, of course, the most clear and concise
method would be entitled to the prefer
ence. The answer to the above question
| will send in two weeks, il il is not an
swered by some one else within that time
| A.
! AS our object in establishing such depart
ment in the Guardian is, as much as anything
to endeavor to excite scholars In our count,
schools to greater interest in, and closer cxami
nation OF, their studies, we expect all who sent
solution to a problem, to give, as the above con
tributor suggests, their method of working il
out, SO that comparison of methods may b.
made by the scholar; this, we conceive, will
lead him to reason uron, and make closer anal
ysis Of his studies

The friends of the Whig Know Nothing In.
dependent Democratic candidate for Sheriff OF
our county, enter upon the campaign with a
reckleSsneSs of assault upon the People
nominee, MIR. CRussGRovE which betrays the
desperation of their case.
We last week noticed the charge that Mr..

informed that the infamous fraud of 1914 was

ANOTHER charge they have since circu-
idied-but only in this end of the cuunty-is,
that MIR. {. gave money for the prosecution of
Messrs. Eyer and Gundy dufing the dead-and-
buried Railroad excitement. (Atlhe other end
oi the county, they will probably say Mr.. e.

assured this charge is, at best, a mistake
JAMES (not JOHN Crossgrove did contri-
butte, as he says himself, 10 that scheme of
Baum q Co. TO advance Locofoc oism in
Union county, and offered 10 double his sub

has not the money TO squander in such game
and is not man of that turn of mind if he

hard-up Democracy make by that false accu-

ANOTHER story fabricated by the same
party, is that Mr.. Crcsssrove voted against

informed, the very opposite Of the truth. Not

advise every candid man iha, he may stamp
them As base ialsehoods, got up by unscrupu-

Fragrant Memories,

Hopelessly in the minority, some of the
Buchanan faction in this county seek 10 mend
their condtion-if possbIe-by raising from
the grave the purifying corpses of all the by
gone local and other controversies, which,
both for the canse of morals and good neigh
borhOod, should never be .resurrected." In
stead Of defending their chief, Buchanan, in
his crusade againstthe constitutional liberties
and natural rights of Kansas, they are trying
to raise the Masonic and Anti-Masonic ex-
citement, wherever they think they can make
a vote by it, Instead of defending the Free
Trade doctrines Of their Platform and their
Southern masters (see second column first
page Of this paper.) they are invading the
cemetery of the Railroad squabbles 10 get the
bones from some grave they may dig open, to
fight with! Instead of defending the enor-
nous extravagances and expenditures of their
Administration, they are studying how to
renew the Division fever, that they may, by a
low and false diversion Of thought, elect a
Sheriff or Commissioner!
No matter how detrimental such useless
low citizens, some of the leaders of the Bu-
chanan party are trying these very deceptive
schemes TO bag few votes! They would
tear open all these closed woundS-woud
convulse the whole land IN unwholcsome and
perfectly unavaillng excitement-to slip in a
candidate for a county Office,
Well, there is a difference in tastes. Hye.

the festerings wounds, so nearly healed, as

The sensible and refecting citizens Of the
couniy-whatever party name they choose
to wear-we believe are sick of these mad
and insane efforts to renew strifes that are f.
nally decided He is not good citizen, who,
for petty personal or pariizan ends, would
again array neishbor against neighbor and
section against section in bitter strife for no.
thing!
We trust the sober citizens alike of Lewis
burg and of New Berlin-of town and country
will frown down these wicked Vaccinations
for The most paltry purposes. Our candidates,
on both sdes,a are respectable and,we suppose,
competent men,. Tha, being the case, let the
PRINCIPLES they represent, and the MERITS of
the men themselves, be discussed. and guide
you in your choice Of county officers. Crush
with your Indignation, for the public good,
