member the threat of the rebel General Beau
regard on the eve of the battle of Shiloh, that
ere the next night he would "water his horse

JoHx F. DILLON, EsQ.-It is fact worthy
Of notice that the members of jackson, Gin
ton and Muscatine county bars have, without
distinction of party, requested Judge Dillon
to become q candidate for reelection to the
bench of the District Court This is COM
pliment that has seldom, if ever before, been
paid to any Judge in this District, and we
hope the recipient will return favorable re-
ply to the request.
Judge Dillon, by his courteous and gentle
manly bearing, and profound knowledge Of
law, has won the respect OF all who know
him, and we have no hesitation in saying that
. man better qualified for the office Of District
Judge cannot be found anywhere.
