Not Dead.

1t was rumored few weeks ago that
Henri Clay Dean, Esq, had been
mobbed and murdered in Missouri. Mr.
Dean called at the Office OF the Keokuk
Journal few days since, and was IN
good condition. lie says he had not
been killed by a Missouri mob, or any
other mob. lie said that he had nes er
in his life been more kindly or cordial
ly received by any people, than he vas
by the citizens OF Missouri, on the occa-
siou OF his late visit +; and it was very
difficult to account for the origin of the
rumor upon any other theory than that
it was set ahoat by some Of his acdrns
Republican friends whose wish was
father to the thought" 1t is well known
that the Republican papers OF Iowa
have been systematic and unceasing in
their scurrllous personal attacks upon
Henry Clay Dean. SO intensely have
they pursued him, that with them it has
been standing maxim to speak III OF
him, or say nothing at all.
Mr.. Dean fought Kepubicanism vig-
orously and a: every point with un-
masked batteries, because he felt that

A Cunning Piece of Rascality.
The New York Times tells the f,

The New York Times tells the fol-
lowing story:
One of our city clergymen was neatly
taken in and done for this past week by
Fol!et, a noted thief, whose capture the
western police have struggled in vain to
achieve during the asst five years. the
clergyman found $500 bank note, and
with that eminent honesty which untor-
tuuately belongs ouly to persons OF his
cloth, advertised the same in the public
prints. Shortly after Toilet, dressed
like an elderly farmer, called upon the
divine and told him he had lost similar
amount, and if the note found was his
it would have upon its back the name Of
VIM. Harvey, Williamsburg. The cer-
gyman produced the bill. ana as there
was no such mark thereon, it was dcci-
ded that the ownership was vested in
some other person than the worthy
farmer. The next day confederate, to
whom Toilet had communicated the
marks that we're on the note, called on
the finder, and having satisfied him OF
the accuracy Of his knowledge, rec iyed
the same from tue uususpectlng dominic.
Toilets note 10 the clergyman, detailing
the trick, with characteristic etfron:ery,
has been shown Us, and we can but re
.ret that such talent as is certainly pos
sesssed by tls rogue, should be KEEP,
concealed in SO dirty a napkin.

RADICAL REPUBLICANS FOR p,srs,ox
-WEBB VS.. GEEELRY.-The best ev;.
dence that can be furnished that real
Republicans are disunionis,s. is that
which Republicans themselves furnish.
To show that this charge, SO often pre-
ferred by Democrats, is not unfounded.
We make the following extract from
leading article in the N. Y. Courier and
Enquirer
If the Albany Evening journal and
ourselves have asked nothing but what
Is right and Just, and which may be con-
coded by both the North and South
with honor-why does the Tribune, 10
the face OF facts and in total disregard
OF the slightest respect for truth, charge
US with proposing to nullify the election
OF Lincoln and the disarmament OF the
Republican party The answer is at
hand. SIMPLY because the editor of the
Tribune Is as much Of an Abolitionist
az Garrison, and at heart as anxious to
dissol0e the Union,as Yancey, az Bell or
Keitt, and other disunio,.ists at the
South.

STATEMENT OF THE BANKS OF ILLINOIS.
The Report made by the Banks of
Illinois to the Auditor of that State,
shows that their circulation on the first
OF October amounted to ,OlO,S37,
secured by Stocks whose nominal OF
face value amounted to Sl2,264, $50. 10.
THIS, apparently, places the Banks of
Illinois in comparatively sound con

COMMENT ON THE VERDICT IN THE
BuKCH DIVORCE CAsE.-We have yet
to hear the first expression Of dissent
from the verdict in the Burch divorce
case. Press and people say amen to it,
and many leading journals present plans
ble arguments TO prove that Mrs. Burch
never committed adultery with David
Stuart. Such view Of the case, when
thoroughly scanned. is not by any means
inconsistent with the evidence produced
on the trial. The pious Burch and
Parson Patterson come in for as many
and severe kicks and curses as were
ever melted out to complainant and
witness in any case. The former comes
out of Court the real condemned.
