The Question.

VI FOLK COonty.
------------- ------------
The Questi0a.
The Chicago Times very aptly re-
marks that there is now only one politi
cal queation before the people: "Will
the conservative Republicans, the men
Of property, Of business, and Of patriot
ism, in some authoritative manner, de-
nounce all connection with tho abolition
wing Of their party, and heartily unite TO
consolidate public sentiment in favor OF
4 constitutional conduct Of the war I"
There is now no other question. Nor
will there be any other. No platform
on which the emancipationists can stand
will be broad enough for loyalists. This
is q truth which ought to be ackno~-
lodged noso, because it is necessary tor
the welI-being Of the country that it shall
be acted upon no,c. So strictly true is
this that we regard the political destIn'es
OF the nation as ia the hands of conser-
vative Republicans. 1t is in their power,
by divorcing themselves from the aboIl-
ton element Of their party, to give
strength and permanency to national
party, which will sustain the Union un-
der the Constitution in every contingen-
cy. We do not doubt their patriotism ;
but we tear that habit, old association,
the timidty which characterizes most
men when party changes become nee
essary, may deter them from taking the
important step Of separation from an old
political ally. Yet the good ofthe nation
demands the step, and we believe that
conservative Republicans have sufficient
loyalty to take it.
DEArn OF GEO. 5. HEBs, Eso.-We
find in the Cumberland (Md.) Nviliam
and Telegraph, received by Mrs. Hull,
Of this city, an announcement OF the
death Of Geo. S. uebb, Esq, former
resident of Muscatinc. lie died at
Memphis, Tenn, on the 25th ult., aged
% years. The paper above named
says:
Mr. Hebb was a native Of this city,
where he studied and was admitted to
the practice of the law, and less than
one year ago went to Memphis for the
parpose Of making that city his future
home.
Endowed by nature with more than
an ordinary share of talent, faithful and
true in all the social relations of life, he
evidently had before him life Of sue
cess and honor. Bnt ''death loves a
shining mark" In the full flush of his
youth he LAS been removed by the viii
of an All-wise Providence from the &C
tive scenes of this life to, We trust, a
brighter and better world.
RATHER SARCAsTIC.-Ane eastern cor
respondent repeats good one that was
got eff by Gen. Butler, short time
since, in Washington. The General,
speaking Of the farce Of administering
the oath to captured rebels, and then
turning them loose, related an incident
tina; occurred at Fortress Monroe. A
scouting party having captured and
brought in live rattlesnake, question
arose as to the disposal of the danger

ARMED RESISTANCE TO THE WAR TAX.
There is an organization in Albion,
Maine, and the adjoining towns, mum
bering several hundred, composed of
men who have banded together to re-
sist the government in collecting taxes,
etc. On Saturday last they had mus

red paraded. One company had uni

Colonel of Union regiment in Mis-.
souri,. He is using his best efforts 70,
the suppression Of rebellion. The re
cent course of DR.. Eads has done much
to relieve him from the odium attached
to his past reputation.
POPULATION OF DURUQuR.-The re.
cent census of that city, under the au
spices Of the School Board shows tn,
entire population 1860. This shows
falling offofabout two thousand since tn
census Of 1860. There must be SOM
mistake either in one enumeration or til,
other-perhaps in both.
THIRD CAVALRY REGIMENr.-Fou

on Saturday, to-wit: Capt. Davenpor.'s
OF wayne county, Capt. Mudgett's, o
