se2 SPRINGTIRLD, Ills, Jan. ~, 1851. Y
Since the temporary adjournment Of our lie.
| gislature, Springfield has looked deserted
| Some of the members who live remote from the
great thoroughfares Of travel remain here occu-
pied in perusing yollminous Bills which are
| awaiting Legislative action and making their
| quota Of papers and documents. aoql
| Distinguished men from other States are here
however, 81 thick, that like Autumn leaves, their
number cannot be told, and every day they come
| and 60 until the arrival of an individual who
would have been lionized before Springfield had
a President will not excite passing notice.
The object these distingne visitors have in
view is, as general thing, Office. Patriotism
| Is one Of the characteristics Of the American
people, and all this herd of ofice.seekers is ac
tuated by purely patriotic motives, of course.
\ The Lobby, too, is having an intermission
By the by, in point OF talent, this Lobby is every
whit the equal Of our Legislature, Speeches are
made in it upon existing national questions
which would do honor to any Legislative body in
| the world Among the prominent speakers none
/ on the Republican side are greeted by the third
House with more enthusiasm than Hon. G. B.
DEMO, of Galena, known heretofore as the Gale
ma BrickIayer. m ,i,e sr.rsc.rr;
Mr.. DEMO is tall spare man, with black hair,
blue eyes, aquiline nose, and a firmness of e1
pression that would do honor to Roman Gen
eral When he rises to speak every voice is
hushed and the usually tumultHous Lobby gives
him the most earnest and respectful attention.
Ne deals with subject. IS master does, and from
| logical conclusion. His gestures are good, bet
ter than a majority Of our public men, and he
has voice as clear as clarion--a voice which
can be heard distinctly ard clearly above the
loudest Of applause. If DEMO does not make
bis mark in national political miss my guess.
NJ Democratic speaker probably commando
the attention of the third House to greater
extent than Col. l.. W. Ross, the late Demo-
cratic candidate for Lieut.. Governor. He is Q
tall man about six feet and weighs, should
think, $50 lbs Col Ross is logical reasoner,
speaks clearly and distinctly, and creates q
| profound impression upon all who hear him
His manner is not SO elegant as Denio's, but he
| is by no means a small man.
| What the action of our Legislature will be in
regard to national questions am not prepared
to say. think some resolutions will be adopt.
| ed favorable to the enforcement Of the laws.
A wrong impression prevails through the
State generally in regard to Judge Kellogss visit
here recently. 1t is by some supposed that be
BE will not concede, but stands squarcly upon the
| Chicago Platform, pure and upadulterated. No
fears need be entertained in regard to Judge
| Kellogg's action. 4t 5.
| RoBBERY-Mr. A. j. Gohn, of Bethel, Ohio,
and R. P. McGregor, of Rochester, N. T., trav-
cling together, as they had been for week,
stopped ut the Burlington House, in this city,

Tharsday morning about o'clock, Gohn walked
up and found McGregor missing, and his, money,
amounting to over $3.50. gone. The only early

afternoon. s'A -
McGregor was taken before Justice Overton
and bound OVER in the penal sum Of enc thousand
dollars, for trial at the next term of Court. The
money, consisting Of 1882 in gold and small
amount in bills, was all recovered.
OxEs.-We saw at the Sunderland House sta

Mr. Coonrod, Of Huron township. which were AZ
handsome specimens Of the brute creation as We
have seen for many day. They are Devons,

owner in Warren county, in this State. Their
respective ages are and years, and their
weights, 24s6. and 1886 pounds.
