viva la viele Funck Defnncs.

last year Henry Funck, Coppethead can.
didate for Mayor, was elected by majority
Of ninety eight. Tuesday no was beaten
by majorito of one-a change of one hun.
bred votes in one year. Nobly done, Union
men of Muscatine. You have good cause to
be proud Of your work yesterday. The
election was unusually closely contested by
both parties, and the copperheads whipped in
fair fight Muscat'ne may henceforth be
cassed among the loyal cities of the Union.
Disoyalty is dead and buried beyond resul-
rection. A Union Mayor, Treasurer and Al
derman elected. In the Third Ward Simp.
sons majority is thirty. Last year the Ward
returned a copperhead to the City Council.
Funck's majority in the First Ward is only
eighteen. Last year it was thrice that number
Glory enough for one day. One more effort,
and the last vestige of the snaky tribe will
disappear.
We could not obtain the official figures in
the First Ward, the Board of canvassers hav-
ing been busy until late hour in an attempt
to bring the number Of names registered as
having voted up to toe number Of tickets de-
posted in the box, the latter overrunning the
former. The attempt failed miserably, and
the judges finally decided on reporting &C.
cording to the tickets. What the City Coun-
Gil will do remains to be seen. We believe it
to be their duty when convsssing the votes,
to throw out these returns, Funck's MAORI
ty in this ward wss-.shteeh in the Second,
eleven. Viele's majority in the Third Ward
was twenty -nine, being tie. One vote in

One WAY OF EXPLAINING IT.-Our read
ers will remember the Davenport Boys"
who created some sensation here a short
time ago. Recently they exhibited at Keno
sha, Wisconsin, where an enterprising genius
procured himself to be shut up in cage,
along with the bound mediums" Shaving
first made liberal application of oil and
lamp black to his hair Presently he felt a
"spirit hand" resting upon his brow. On
inq niry he learned that it was the hand of
his departed mother, whereupon he requested
her to part his hair as she used to do in his
boyhood. The request was accommodating
ly complied with. When the bog was opened
the mediums within were found securely tied,
but the hand of one of them was thoroughly
besmeared with the sable compound, showing
that whatever spiritual agencies might be
connected Herewith, the Davenport Boys tad
hand in it.

THE COUNCIL EMPLOY ATTORNEYS
- FOR MR.. FUNCK.s +, -,

The City Council, composed Of five 0sp-
perheads, the only Union member Of the
Board, Mr.. Musser, being absent, assembled
| last Wednesday night ...
The principal business Transacted was
canvassing the returns of the late city cleo
ton. The room was crowded to excess. The
council declared Funck elected Mayor by one
majority. 1t is q we'll known fact to the
members Of the City Council, as we'll as eve
~ citizen, that the returns from the First
Ward were incorrect; that seven more votes
were cast in this ward than the poll books
showed voters; that the return was made
according to the number of ballots cast and
not the number ofactual voters, as shown by
the poll books and yet this body, composed,
as it is, entirely Of copperha-ds. coolly pro.
coed to set aside the will Of the people and
declare Mr.. Funck elected. We are aware
that the Courier claims that the canvassers
have no right to 60 behind the returns and
investigate the matter, but we claim they
have where the fraud is so patent. The
election Of city officers is governed, as near
as can be, by the same rules as govern coun.
ty and township elections. Section 498 of
the Code, page 80, reads as follows: 4aqs4 -
eff the ballots for any office are found to
exceed the number of voters in the poll list
kthat fact shall be certified with the number of
the excess in the return, and if it be found
that the vote of the township where the error
occurred would change the result in relation
deprirsd Of 50 many rOtes. then the election
shall be set aside as to him aud o new election
ordered, but if the error occur in relation to a
township officer, the trustees Tin this case
the council-rmay order neU election OF not
in their discretion. When there is tie vote
and such an excess, a new election shall be
ordered @
In this case it was optional with the Coun-
Gil to order new election or not, and yet,
with such palpable fraud before them, they
proceed to declare Mr.. Funck elected. Com
mon honesty and decent regard for the SEN
timents Of their constituents would dictate o
different policy, but with unblushing effiout-
cry, these partlzans usurp the peoples priv
ilege of a new election, merely because they
can, and declare their candidate entitled To-
the Office and emoluments of Mayor But
the cap-sheaf of this villainous swindle upon
the rights of citizens by their public servants,
and, at the Same time, the coolest and most
ludicrously impudent feature Of this brazen
outrage was the resolution offered by Alder
man Stein, and adopted without dissenting
voice, to employ counsel to defend this most
indefinab'e operation.
Notice was served on Mr.. Funck that the
election would be contested, as it will be, and
fought to the bitter end by the Union men of
this city, who are determined that their rights
shall not thus be trampled upon. If Mr..
Funck can enjoy his laurels, let him-none
will envy him his position, won, as it was, by
fraud, and retained against the will Of ma
jority of the voters. f..~..

kFrEcTIoN FOR Tue NEGRo.-The Valan,
digham family entertain feelings of admira'
ton, not to say love, for the negro race in
general, the female sex in particular, that is
incredible. The race has furnished the stock
in trade and the speech inspiring theme Of
the Ohio martyr, for q number of years
But the younger members of the family outs
strip him in their affections for the down
trodden African" Perley Valandigham, "a
youth, to fortune and to fame unknown" but
nevertheless nephew Of the great Ohio
martyr, is married to and lives with lub-
bly, wench," black and greasy as a Guinea
native. The pair live in this city. His
brother, living on the opposite side of the
river, is also married to a negress. Clem's
nephews have stolen his thunder. Bye the
way, as this interesting youth has, like his
uncle, got into trouble through his love Of
party, by voting illegally, for which he was
arrested, and as he, like his uncle, is pecuni-
arily pressed for pocket pieces, we suggest
that the Democratic ladies of the city, in inn
itation of their sisters in Ohio, get up ten
cent relief fund his immediate necessities.
1t would so cheer him in his hours of exile
Contributions from ladies of color would of
course be accepted.

FuNcK's WEAKNESS Funck has one
weakness above another, it is his devotion to
his friends. He never deserts those who be-
friend him in his hour of need. This little
weakness developed itself, Tuesday, noto'
riously. The martyr Vallandingham was
brought before Justice Leffngwell for examin-
alton on charge of illegal voting. He
waived an examination and was bound over
in the sum of 800. to appear at the next
term of Court AS Vallandingham had been
of such essential service to Funck the day
previous, that soft hearted and headed func-
tionary could not of course allow the man to
suffer and pine in filthy dungeon until the
sitting of Court, merely for lack Of ''tin.' y
He therefore generously became surety for
him, evidencing thereby, by one act, his graf
itude and generosity. To be sure, some
limited that deeper interest in the mans
welfare actuated Henry, but this is only the
slanderous report of ill-natured enemies.
