EDITOR JOURNAL You will permit me to make
some statements concerning an affair which more
or less may affect the public mind. Last week my
self and three other citizens of German birth were
summoned to appear ut the next term of our Dis.
trict Court, under an indictment of the Grand Jury
of this county charging us with permitting the
playing of cards for refreshments in establish.
ments. Now, do not want to plead in justification
of card playing before your public, but feel some
satisfaction in explaining to my felow-ctizens the
true state OF things in this more than strange
emergency. .9.'' -.
Playing for so small consideration as refresh.
ments is 50 generally in fashion, not only here but
everywhere else-so much INDUCED in by some of
our best citizens, by those even into whose hands
the welfare of our country is placed that the
public sentiment Of this country cannot be claimed
to be against such pastime But this is not the
position l am going to take - should l suffer the
penalty OF the law if found guilty of its infringe
ment, will be the same afterwards as before
what want to say is of some more general bearing
upon the common sense and the moral Feeling OF
my fellow-citizens. Why is it that the Grand Jury
did not look upon the notorious ofenses which are
more apt to hurt the moral feelings of the commu-
of Dunsmore Chambers (the store of the Foreman
of the Grand Jury) for bureau, appraised at $50,
tickets $40 each? Why may lottery of New Years
gifts be drawn every winter, after being advertised
in the public papers and by handbills :? Why is it
permitted to play billiards for $50, was done by
the agent of Gov. Letcher OF Virginia, the socalled
''Coppoc Catcher" ard others reported in your
own paper? Why, last but not least, does the
Grand Jury not find indictments against the real
malefactors - those who have been themselves
playing-and only against u few, some of those who
can't prevent their guests from getting up some
entertainment '.just for the fun?" These are some
of the questions which want to propose to your
public-to the sensible part of it = and the reason
why address the journal for this object remains
only to be expounded.
You claim to be the Republican organ of this
community. Now, then, mark it dOasn - among
some fifty saloon keepers who permit such playing
on their premises, these four who have been in
dicted are nearly the only ones apho are not Demo-
crats-who are Republicans! Why is it the Grand
Jury have not presented any of their Democratic
partizans? Why none but myself John Aeuer, John
Schmidt and John Accola Was it, perhaps,
because the Union-saver, Anderson Chambers, was
Foreman? The reason is obvious and plain to such
as are willing to see.
Anticipating satisfactory disclosure, | remain,
respectfully, Yours, p W. DlrscH.
Ps. The affidavit of W. R. Reynolds, in to-
days paper, don't alter my statements. 1t sho VS.
only that even the name of A. Chambers was on
the list of the players whether he ever got back
his $40 remains to be known. F. w. d.

The river continues about stationary and is at a
rather low stage Boats have considerable difficulty
on the Lower Rapids, in consequence OF which
freights have gone up. Most of the shipments to
St. Louis this spring have been at 9 and ~ cents
per bushel for grain, but to day steamboatmen are
demanding lie and they have more freight offered
at these exorbitant rates than they can take.
The Peubina passed down from Dubuque We'd
nesday, loa led to the guards with produce. She
took arg from this place, filled with SO tons of
bulk meat, 3sS barrels of pork. and lot OF oats.
Pretty good cargo for a barge
FREIGHT TAEIFF-The Northern Line steamers
have established the following rates for freight
from this point to st. Louis:
Wheat 7c per blu. Hay IS per ton.
Potatoes &c do Eggs sue per Dbl.
Onions &c do Dry Hides 40c per 100 lbs
Barley &C do Bulk meat lSc do do
Oats 44c do Pound freight l5c do do
Heavy h. freight, in large lots, l24c per lou lbs
The above are high water rates, and will be
observed by this line while the water is 81 feet deep
and over on the Lower Rapids. In low water,
which is generally during the latter part of the
summer and through autumn, higher rates will be
charged
Passage, in the cabin, is fixed at ST.; on deck

CAPT. GRAY's New Boar, TIE "HAwKEYE STATE"
Our readers have already been informed that
Capt R. c. Gray, the popular commander of the
steamer Denmark in past time, has been engaged
in building new boat, called the "Hawkeye State"
to run as a Northern Line packet between st. Louis
and St. Paul. This boat has just been finished at
Pittsburg and is said to be perfect model in
beauty and perfection, In somewhat lengthy
article descriptive of her the Pittsburg Gazette says
The 'Hawkeye State is 225 feet in length, and
has breadth of beam of 35 feet. with feet depth
of hold She is furnished with four frstclass boil
ers each 26 feet in length, by 40 inches in diameter,
and will be propelled by two powerful engines,
with % uch cylinders and feet stroke, Her
water wheels have diameter of % feet, with buck
cts IL feet long and 80 inches wide. She is provided
with the usual doctor fire engine steam capstan,
&C., and, in fact, with everything else to be found
ON frst.cass boat. Her capacity is 700 tons, and
draft of water when running light as riverme
term it, but some 30 inches.
Our citizens will appreciate the compliment be-
slowed on their fair State by Capt. Gray in naming
his fine boat in honor of Iowa, and the "Hawkeye
state' will always bea favorite on this side of "the
Drink,' especially while Capt "Dick' treads her
deck.

The Committees on Military Affairs of both
Houses have under consideration the adoption
ola system photographic signals for the army,
by which orders may be transmitted distance
of from to Is miles, night or day. As it is
not expected the system will require any
extra appropriation, the Committees are
probably favorable to its adoption.
There will be 4, 900 troops upon the Mexican
frontier before June. Only one regiment will
remain in Utah. The President expects that
work in Utah will have to be commenced
anew. While the army remains there, the
Normons will keep quiet. Disturbances are
feared as soon as it leaves. General Johnson
does not 60 to the frontier with his command,
but is to report IN this city. His frontier
experience would be very valuable in Texas.

Mr.. Collins, our Consul to the Amoor, is in

Government in his project to build line of
