Conversation between Good Currency
and Wildcatter.

Good Currency.-Well, Mr.. Wildcat
ter, how is Florence this lnorningi
Wildcatter.-Florencel Florence !!
that's the word for me. Florence sir,
has built up this town. Its meat and
drink to our business men. If it wasn't
for Florence, our stores would be clos
cd, our mills would be idle, grass would
grow in the streets, the very - would
be to pay!
Good Currency.-I can't see that and
I don't believe it is so. l think Ds-
venport would survive and flourish, if
every cursed wildcat from Nebraska
we're thrott.ed. But admitting-just
for the argument-that the immediate
throwing out Florence would injure
this city, can you give mo any reason
why it shouldn't be made good in
Chicagol
observation-disclosures il Of great
benefit to Davenport. Look at Musca
tine, look at Burlington, look at Du-
buque see how they languish. Flor
ence has done more for Davenport -
Good Currency.-Answer my ques'
why should not Florence be redeemed
in Illinois currencyl
Wiidcatter. Davenport owes he'
prosperity to -
Good Currency. Why not place
Florence on q footing with Illineis cur.
rency?
Wildcatter. There's man wan,
to see! I'll see you again some othe'
time. t~-.+.

The davenport Gasssss. d the 9Th Inst.
undstAkso 70 defend the Nebraska Wild
Cats by deerying Illinois banks, and. IN the
course ofits remarks, makes the ridiculous
~ false statement that the present value of
The Illinois currency IL but eighty cents on
the dollar.
Without stopping 70 foot up the market
value Of the State Stock Securities, upon
which the issues Of our tanks are based,
which we understand to be equal to the par
value Of the notes in circulation, there 10
port Gazette writer can apply, viz: How
much gold or New York Exchange will 500
Of Illinois currency procure in this city? 1t
will get e0G Of the one. or e97 Of the other.
Now how much gold or New York exchange
will 800 Of his boasted "Florence" procure,
in Davenport or Chicago? This test is con-
conclusive; and all tho pettifoging Of Cook
4 Sargent. through the columns of their
organ, cannot gainsay it. We are sorry to
zee the Gazette lending its influence 70 20
dishonest, disreputable and tottering
course Its advocacy Of rotten. swindling,
wildcat concern, viii end in loss to those
who place faith In its statements, and bring
shame and confusion to itself
DYAD CAT.
The Princeton Democrat Of Jan. lst, says
SUspkxDEp.-By a card hung out at
MsssrA Hulburd. Sharp d Cos banking
house. In this place.. We learn that they
have suspended "in justice to themselves
and their orsditors" that in cOnse-
qusnes Of 'thsir heavy losses they are una
Die to meet their nabilitiss" We know
nothing about their "losses"-vhere they
occurred. Or how-but No think It would
have been we'll for the other establishment
to come out, Likewise, and "ackno Wedge
the CORN" Both of these houses have. Actu-
ally. suspended, some weeks since, and why
should not both own up frankly?
1t appears by the card referred TO that
the Western Exchange speculation has n
paid-that the attempt to force it upon
the people here. has proved successful. But
dep0sitors are none the less anxious to know
what has become Of their good money! The
card does not give any information on this
point.

to contrast the qualifications of the Lecomp

Hon. q. A. BaIlou

s. A. Ballou has received the nomina-
ton from the Senatorial District comp sed
Of Butte and Plumas counties. The nomi-
nation is the more fattering because it was
made unanimously. and by all factions of
the Democratic party is concurred in. We
receive the nomination of Mr.. Ballou with
great pleasure. as he is gentleman emf
nentiy qualified by legislative experience
and natural ability, to represent his con-
stituepts with credit to himself and benefit
to the State. Mr. Ballou was in 1853 a
Representative from this county. and by his
steady and resolnte adherence to what he
conceived to be Democratic principles, won
the confidence Of the public, which has been
