why not Answer 7

A short time since the Clayton Co. Jour.
nal Intercepted us as to whether we APP.
proved of certain article in the Chicago
Times, relative to the withdrawal Of the
Border State Representatives from Con.
gross. We made explicit answer by stat
ing that it was not true in point Of fact that
they intended to leave, but should they
propose to do it, we should regard it as alto
gethcr wrong. We then put the Journal
upon the stand and asked it if it favored a
restoration Of the Union, and the Chicago
Tribuns's sting at the old Union, as illus
trated Ly its query; Suppose the result of
this war shall be to restore this Union as it
was-what have We gaineds" The Jour-
nal owed US frank reply, but equivocated
in answer that it was in favor Of a restoration
Of the Union upon firm and enduring
basis" and that it approved Of the Chicago
Tribune, or any other paper asking ques-
tons in discussions upon the war.
Now, the interrogation Of the Tribune
is an implied declaration that nothing has
been gained, should the Union be restored
as it was and the Journal knew very we'll
that we were not questioning it as to the
right Of interrogation, per sc, but as to
whether it, the Journal, shared with the
Tribune the idea that nothing would be
gained by restoration.
The Journal concludes with statement
that when we answer the Chicago 7ribune's
argument, it will have an issue. We will
obl.ge it in due time.
In the meantime, we await a complete
answer to our questions.

The kEoKUK SCooP-ED. Cur readers
will remember that two or three weeks
since, there was no little discussion in the
st. Paul papers as to the relative speed Of
the Hasca, in the Dunlcith & ST. Paul line,
and the Keokul, in the La Crosse & st. Paul
line. 1T one time match seemed inevita-
BILE between them for purse Of $1,000,
but the Lacrosse boat didn't put up the
money. On their down trip of last week,
the Itasca, (loaded with GOO bbls Of -four,
and 700 sacks Of wheat,) and Keokuk,
swung out simultaneously in the stream,
for trial Of speed. The start was all that
could be desired, and the boats went off at
a slashing pace, the Nasca taking the lead,
and gaining so much upon the opposition
boat as to enable her to make landing at
Newport and take on board passengers and
baggage, and beat her opponent a mile and
a half to Hastings--whch was the first
landing made by the Ktokuk.
Excitement at this point was intense,
and the discontinue of the Keokuk's
friends was SO great that they could not be
induced to run any more, notwithstanding
tn, Nasca lay out in the stream waiting
and shrieking her whistles. Seeing that
the other boat would not be induced to &C.
cept the glove again, the Nasea steamed on
and did not see her antaropiSt amin thaf
day.
The results of this trial Of speed justify
all the expectations which have been form
ed Of the speed Of a favorite boat in the
Dunleith line, and are complete defense
to the brick dust volcys which coten,-
porary at La Crosse, has persistently fired
at the Nasco.
For trip on the boat which has vindi.
Gated her claim to the broom over the fast.
est boat in the La Crosse line, consign your.
self to the good sraccs Of Capt. Hurd and
Clerk Eaton.

WHAT IS TREAsoN?--Judge Swaync, Of
the Supreme Bench Of Ohio, has recently
made an extraordinary decision, defining
what does not constitute treason. 1t seems
that one Chenoweth was charged with
furnishing material, aid and comfort to the
rebels, in the shape Of arms, which charge
was not disputed. The counsel for the de-
fence urged, however, that the crime could
only consist in furnishing such aid to for
eign enemies. The Court sustained this
view Of the case, and discharged the prs-
oncr.
We are not competent to criticise this
decision, or attempt to rebut the legal
points involved, but we can see that it
opens wide the door to all sympathzers
with the rebellion to render at will any and
every possible assistance in the overthrow
Of this government, of which opportunity
there are doubtless many who will take
advantage.

Mr. Case is about making important ad-

outgoing firm, that Mr.. Case is man of

Genuine Fairbanks Scales.
The we'll earned reputation Of our Scales has
induced the makers of some other kinds to
offer them as "FAIRBANKs' SCALES or "FRoM
FA RsANKs' STANDARD PATTERNS" and purchas-
.rs have thereby in some Cases been deceived.
We have no controversy with honorable com.
petitors, but it is proper for us to expose this
fraud. If such makers had faith in the merits
Of their own Scales, they would have no occa.
sion to borrow our names.
Fairbanks Scales are manufactured only by
us, the original inventors, and We have never
furnished our patterns to other manufacturers.
