EDITOR JOURNAL :-"sReal Reform has
frequently called public attention to the omission
of our Mayor to include the $780, 900 bonds issued
to the NJ. & NJ R. r. Company among the liabilities
of the city although the city would be entitled to
credit of some amount in the shape of certificates of
stock in said Company, if good faith is exercised
towards the city by said r. r. Company. If the
above amount of $4,000 should appear in any
published statement a liability Of the city, l
would respectfully enquire of Real Reform WIG
the amount of 100000 in bonds issued to the
Galesburgh r. r. Company should not also appear
as liability of the city, although it is generally be-
heved, that the city has certificate of stock in
said Company to show as an of-set against its I
am one of those who believe that the taxpayers of
Muscatine have right to insist upon full and ex-
pcit public statement of the financial condition of
the CITY, embracing every item of liability of every
description, and every item of assets or source of
revenue. If the Devil is to be fought, let us see
him, and we will then know with what weapons to
meet him.
Will the City Council explain to the taxpayers
of Muscatine the real situation of the $500, 900
bonds issued to the Galesburgh r. r. Co., as it is
now known that the city has nothing to show for
them, and yet being cut of her control they con-
tribute an additional indebtedness to that amount?
MORE ANON.
rive are inclined to think our correspondent is
by the city We're all issued to the Galesburgh Rail
road Company. If we are correctly informed only
$25, 900 ofthese bonds were ever used. They we're
hypothecated for 81, 900 in New York, but were sub
sequerty redeemed. However, an official explain
alton of this matter is doubt desired by many of
our citizens, and we hope such explanation will be
made.-EI jour-

Nor BAp.-The other day we heard an
| item illustrative of the fact that "trading''
| is pracsised by the wee children as we'll as
the larger. A bright looking little urchin,
with dirty face ana very dirty nasal protru
berance, stepped into one of our fashionable
dry. goods stores, and walking up to the
smiling clerk behind the counter, who was,
| at that particular moment displaying the
charms of self and goods to couple OF
shopping young ladies, and squeaked out in
treble voice:
.'Mister, have you got any tops?"
The clerk with slight trown informed
the juvenile that they had few OF those
little articles on hand.
"Well, mister, what might they be worth?
sell ZEN cheap?"
The person addressed, anxious to close
the scene, and glancing at the d;ty face
turned up before him, tossed out the TOP
with
"Here, sonny, Pll give you one-if you'll
only clean your nose"
The youth grasped the prize in one hand,
and the handle of his face with the other,
and with smile Of triumph and tremen-
dous blow, departed, leaving the man OF
goods t. attend upon his lady customers.
SO far so good.
In few minutes, however, in comes a
couple of the dirtiest raggedest, "most Gus.
sedest' specimens OF youthful manhood,
with one hand in breeches pocket and the
other fixed with death grasp on the most
%, eminent feature of the ''h uman face di-
vine," and marching to the front OF the
astonished clerk, sung out:
Say, mister, be you the Teller vot's got
tops to give to chaps volts got dirty n1se' !?
Fork us over a couple, qacS Sly, can't
yer ?" - a @e
The clerk grasped at the yardstick and
tainted; the ladies blushei, and-giggled
the Juveniles put for the door, and -miz-
zled! Don't say top near that esta bllshment!

Administration, in rushing into war with

and his conduct as discreditable in the
extreme. Yet the country is precipitated
into war on his account. Most of the Naval

know his reputation in that country, and the

COMPLIMENTARY DINNER TO Hon. JOHN
PETTIr.-The last number of the Lafayette
Qnd.) argus devotes almost an entire page
to the speeches and incidents connected with
this affair, which came off on the 23d ult.
The dinner was the votive offering of the
Lafayette Bar to the newly appointed Chief
Justice of Kansas, on the occasion of his
removing to that Territory. There was a
copious flow of spirits, much speech-making,
fun-making, and good time generally. In
the course of the evening" the Judge made the
following fair promises as to the line Of con-
duct he will pursue in the distracted country
whittier he is going. We hope he will show
something more than Democratic fidelity to
his pledge;
"He begged it might be understood that he
went to Kansas with no instructions in his
pocket other than his commission; that he
