IAN Inhuman transaction,


Democrat copies from the Lyons ADVOCATE
q tale Of horror to the effect that man with
his family stopped at hotel in this city with
sick child, that the child died, that the man,
on coming to pay his bill, found himself
short Sill, which he agreed to send back
from Burlington, that the landlord demanded
security and in default Of anything else de-
tanned the dead body of the child, that the
man being stranger and without money had
to leave the body, that he went to Burling
ton and on returning in day or 30 found
that the child was buried, that he paid his
tavern bill, went to the potter's field, dug up
the child, and started for the boat, that be-
fore reaching the boat police Officer tapped
him on the shoulder and required SO for the
Overseer of the poor, which sum he finally
paid, and got of without being devoured.
The tale is interlarded with sundry filings
at the Mayor, officers, and citizens Of Keo-
kuk generally, and altogether it makes an
awful showing against US. We presume the
man who penned such an Infamous libel will
not publish the other side, but we call on the
Democrat, and other papers that may have
copied it, to give the true statement, as fol-
| lows:
Mr.. Jones, (that was the strangers nancy
after the death of his child, carried his bag
gage out by back door and got his family
off to the boat without the knowledge Of the
landlord, as we are informed by the landlord
and his ASSISTANTS. He then returned to get
the corpse, which had been placed in q coffin
Just as be and his brother were taking it up
to move off, the clerk Of the hotel requested
Jones to pay his bill. He inquired how
much it was. The clerk answered $50 fol-
the six days, there being six in the family
but they would call it $40, and as he had
paid Sc, the balance was 1874. Jones said
that was too much, and that he would pay
only $l2. The landlord said he would have
the whole or none. Just then the boat bel
was ringing for the last time, and Jones rar
of, leaving the dead child and his brother.
/ The scene created some little excitement
among the by-standers, and the brother Of
Jones, who was left, said that his brother
had plenty Of money, that be had acted bad
ly oil along the road from Ohio, and con
demned his conduct generally.
The corpse being left in the hotel, there
| was no other course but to have it buried
which Was done decently and in order. In Q
day or 80 Jones returned; the undertaken as.
sisted him in getting the corpse; Jones asked
for the bill, and was informed that the whole
bill, for burying and taking up, was S.
Jones answered to the undertaken: swell,
understand you are q very sharp man. 81
am |, and have the advantage Of you; &c
your money il you can" Thereupon tn
undertaken started up street, and meeting al
officer told him the circumstances. The Of
fcer soon overhauled Jones and made hin
fork over. In the meantime the landlor,
met Jones on the street, and proposed t
leave their matter to referees. But Jone
turned on his heel and cleared out, leavin,
the landlord minus $24.
1t is always good rule to shear the othe
side" before committing yourself.

One Of the editors Of the N. Y. Tribune
is said to be writer Of the following;
Is there anything In death which would
make q DIR. Sangradon Of Abernethy, Piss
toll OF the Duke Of Wellington, bad poet
of Tom Campbell, bad lawyer OF Story, .

ssThere are some things," said Chief Justice

canting at great length, (which the Supreme

wager our largest inkstand against goose
Quill that If we we're to treat ourselves to
half dollars worth OF conversation with
that eminent man, merely calling upon him
as a sdoctor," we would get something like
the following: "Heal thyself Nature is
dual, but spirits are one. Digestion and
nutrition are harmonized by absorbent con-
oomitants, and the sentient system is solidi-
fed by the neutral elements. The patient is
suffering from the fact that the cardiac
sphinchter is pressing upon the bile. Let
him take the medicine prescribed by the me-
dunn and all may yet be we'll !" in short, We
should get Fifty cents worth of the nonsense
and big bottle OF nastiness, but not word
about nervous action. So in these disjointed
time IL we should treat ourselves to q dol
lars worth Of Daniel Webster, whose ad-
vice would be worth the money il we could
get it, we should learn that "the government
al function is above the sympathetic soul
power of the mortal, and resides in the inf
mite yearnings of the harmonial correlatives."
Ii distracted by this Cumean utterance, we
indulge ourselves in Eve shillings' worth Of
| Fisher Ames, we should be told that ssthe
| functional government is below the powerful
sympathy Of the immortal, and the harmo-
| NAL correlatives render the yearnings of tie
soul in6nite"-a stock Of information upon
which Jefferson Brick himself would not
think Of running for Congress in the mos,
benighted county of Indiana. If We prodi-
gally determined to relieve our mental dis.
traction by the charms of little poetry By
Sam Rogers, or Homer, or Beranger, OF
Schiller, we should be informed that
"The governmental function
Is Ger the sym pathetic soul,
And the yearnings Gil harmonial
Extend from pole to pole.'

RT The Republicans have bought the
Dutch by nominating Rusch, but they do not
intend to disgrace the Senate and State by
having him preside. They would pay him
six dollars day If he would stay away and
elect one Of their own number to preside.
The above is from a speech delivered at
Des Moines City, in his exact language, by
Mr.. Baker, OF Charlton, q candidate himself
for Lieut. Governor before the late d Democrat
ic Convention. 1t shows the animus of AZ
ricanized Democracy. Ready to use the ar
my and navy to capture stray niger, but
unwilling to protect naturalixsd citizens in
their persons--loud in their profession Of
love for foreigners but ready to denounce
and ridicule any one, however worthy, who
may be proposed by his friends as candi-
date for Office. Mr.. Rusch is under the ban.
Instead of having drawn his first inspiration,
like the grandioquent Samuels, upon the
classic banks of the Shenandoah, he had the
misfortune to be born on the Rhine and to
have lisped his first infant accents in vulgar
German. Samues says that Rusch is no ac-
count-no better than a wooden man. He is
clever gentleman, an old citizen of SCOTT
county and probably the largest farmer in
Iowa, but being 'sDutchman" he has no
rights which an F. F. V. is bound to respect.

The Ca.s ID octrsne Applied.

The beauties Of the doctrine Of the Admin
istration, regarding the rights and liberties
Of our naturalixed citizens who may visit
their native countries, as laid down in the
letters OF the Secretary of State to lie Cerc,
OF Memphis, and Mr.. Hofer, of this city, are
illustrated in the caae of Col. Chas. Ernst,
Of this city, who recently proposed to visit
Europe, with the design of making observa-
tons at the seat of war. Mr.. Ernst has been
citizen of the United States for thirty years.
He has served in our volunteer military for
ces, and has on several occasions seen active
service in quelling riots. He now holds a
commission as Lieut. Colonel in the Ohio
Voluntee. Militia, and is an excellent officer
and honorable citizen, widely known and re-
spected.
He proceeded to Washington to have hi.
passports made out, taking letters to the
State Department, stating his character and
position, from the don. w. S. Groesbeck and
other distinguished gentlemen. He obtained
interviews with General Cass, and was coolly
told that it would be prudent for him to stay
at home, as the Government would not un.
dertaks to guarantee his protection as a cti
zen Of the United States, and that he nigh
be impressed into the French army.
He has, 10 consequence, given up his de-
sign Of visiting Europe, and returned to thi.
city, very naturally impressed that he hat
been mistaken in believing that he would b,
entitled to respect any where on the globe al
a citizen of the American Republic. He pro
poses to enter formal protest as q either
| against the ruling of the Secretary of Stat,
! in his case. 1t is question he feels inter
ested in having settled, whether he is a citi
zen of the United States, or citizen O
France. and whether, rs naturalized citizen
Of this country, he has any rights that Napo
! Icon is bound to respect.
