The C0oLIE TRADE.-We hear of these wretcbed
beings dying on the prolonged passage from Asia
to the Atlantic coast, of hunger, thirst, and the
foulest diseases engendered by close confinement
without air or proper nutrment in the holds of
ships. We are told of these unfortunates muir
dering one another in the agony of their despe-
ration; and although the thing is plain and pal
pable, the evidence of its existence unquestioned
and undeniable, civilized Europe shuts its eyes,
pockets the gains, and balances her sin ledger by
sbrieking out her virtuous Indignation at the
wickedness of American slave-hOlding. She
swallows the Coolies and the cotton very well
herself, but wonders how Brother Jonathan can
digest such horrible things !--MaripOsa GazeNe.

HE LICENSE LAw.-The small liq-
uor sellers are organizing themselves to re-
sist the license law recently passed by the
City Council.
As to It's legality or constitutiona!ity. we
have nothing to say. That is to be deter
mined by lawyers and judges. AS to the
propriety Of such law. we have not, nor
never had any doubt. judcious license
Is what We have always contended for, and
what We still believe to be the only Just
and practicable law. The days when we
fought for this law and We're soundy abused
for our opposition to the maine Law" have
not been forgotten. The Democratic party
planted themselves upon that ground, and
were beaten By those very men who now
beg for some law that can be enforced. At
ter having lifted any number Of demagogues
to Office on the strength of the Maine Law
hobby, and after having the Maine Law in
all its stringency, they find themselves in
the condition of the man who drew the ele-
phant in the rattle
AS the matter stands now, the number of
low "doggeries' and grog shops in this city,
are past all endurance. They are hannts
for thieves, burglars, incendiaries and pros
titutes, and the offsprings of every species
of vice. They must be abated in some way
If they cannot he purified under the license
law, We hope the authorities will make use
of the general liquor law to break them up
They are disgrace and scandal to our city,
and our citizens have a right to ask for
prompt, vigorous and effective action.

GAzErTE-MAIN STREET CHANGE
OF TAcTIcs.-The Gazette, after several years
Of blowing in favor of preserving the Iowa
College grounds intact. and of indiscrimin-
ate abuse of the Democrat, for insisting that
the street should be opened. has changed
front, and in yesterdays issue, made use of
the following language:
The movement made to extend Main
street through the college grounds, which
has been the great subject of complaint on
the part Of the Trustees, was not founded
upon any ill-feeling whatsoever towards
the institution and its trustees. In this
case, certain citizens preferred, as they had
right to, their own interests of the Col.
lege, and many of them seemed To honestly
think they had both law and justice on their
side.
We are glad to see the Gazette disposed to
do justice to the City, as we'll as the Col.
lege, but cannot help asking the question
why this sudden change? We suspec,

THE Iowa COLLEGE REMovAL.-Th

THE Iowa COLLEGE REMovAL-The
Gazette published, yesterday, long COM
munication from certain citizens of this city
to the Trustees of Iowa College, and the re-
ply of the Trustees thereto. We publish
the reply.
1t may be that the Trustees can pull wool
over the eyes of the nonresident patrons
of the Institution, by saying as they do in
their 4th reason, that, The Institution has
become embarrassed in its funds, chiefly
through warfare waged upon it by the city
authorities of Davenport" We incline to
the belief, however, that the "embarrass-
ment in its funds" can be traced, not to the
fyht which they have waged SO long against
tie city, but to certain sharp financial ope-
rations on the part of some of its cfficers.-
II there is a meeting of the Trustees, for bu-
siness purposes, would it not be well for
them to inquire what become of the $4,000
obtained by mortgage of the College
grounds?
We respectfully suggest to the Trustees
Of the College, that while they have the
right to put the city to the expense of a five
years warfare, they have no right to charge
the consequences, to themselves by reason
of such warfare, upon the city authorities;
nor have they the right to publish this to
the world, as the reason why the Institution
has "become embarrassed in its funds
Keep truth on your side, gentlemen, and
don't undertake to humbug the patrons"

city authorities to extend Main street

placed on par with all other parts of the

speed between Montrose and Burlington,
which resulted in favor of the Tishomngo,
beating the keokuk many odds to Burling.
ton. The keokuk was built, we understand
for fast boat, but the Tishomingo proves
her superior, and we think she is.
The officers of the Tish claim that their
boat is faster than the Ben Campbell, and
the Ben Campbell beat the Keokuk from
Montrose to Burlington more thar the Tsh-
omingo did. Happening to be on board
the Ben Campbell on Tuesday last, we
noted the time and the incidents of the race.
The Ben Campbell made all the landings,
and kept the channel of the river, while the
keokuk made no landings and took a
straight course, being of lighter draught
than the Ben. At Dallas, distance OF 20
miles from Montrose, the Ben Campbell
after making the landings. just before
leaving Dallas, the Keokuk was seen by
those on board of the Ben Campbell and
not afterwards. At Burlington the Ben
waited about half an hour but could see
nothing of the Keokuk.
The following is the time which was
noted:
Steamer Keokuk left Mcntrose 1T Sol A NJ
Ben Campbell left Montrose at 1852 AN
Landing at Nauvoo occupied 10 min.
Arrived at Fl Madison at $50 A NJ
Left at 600 A NJ
Arrived at Dallas at $3.50 NJ
Left at $3.50 A VI
Arrived at Burlington at 1882 N
Time lost by the Ben at landings, 90
minutes, making the running time from
Aontrose to Burlington, 8 hours and 20
minutes. This is good running for the old
Ben Campbell. d Argus.
