RADICAL LIES.

The Rock Island Union, a radical disunion
newspaper, says:
Mr.. Samuel Bowes has been soursd toward the
republican party since his brother arrest
ed, tried and convicted oil a conspiracy against the
country. He first condemned to be shot then
respted to imprisonment for life in states prison,
and finally pardoned by Andy Johnson.
The editor of the disunion newspaper lies,
and if ne Is possessed of ordinary sense and
intelligence he knows he lies.
DIR. Bowles, of Indiana, together with Mil
ligan and Horsey, was sentenced, as stated
The sentence of ell shroe of these .men was
commuted to Imprisonment, By Ar. Lincoln
and neither Of them was ever pardoned by
Andy johnson, or anybody else. They car
ried their case before the supreme court Of
the United States, of which court Salmon P.
Chase, q radical, is chief Justice, and tha,
court declared that the military satraps who
tried them had DO Jurisdiction in such mat
ters, and that the whole affair was illegal
from beginning to end. The prisoners, on
that decision. were set at liberty.
If the editor of the Union had any regard
for his word, or the character of his paper, he
would not publish such falsshoods-or if he
published them through ignorance, he would,
II an honest man, correct them.
The Union must be very hard pushed for
something to say against Sam. Bowles, when
1t travels to Indiana and iuvents faIsehood
Instead of Mr.. Bowles being 'soured to-
ward the republican party ever since his
brother was arrested, &c., we heard him
say, at the time, that ''if his brother was
guilty he must take the consequences" that
she had no sympathy with any man who
tried to destroy cur government" He did
not pretend to say that his brother was gull
ty of any such act, or intention, but if he was
he must take the consequences. He though,
he was very imprudent man TO join the 40.
ciety he did-but he doubted whether he in.
tended any injury to his government or his
country
The Union will hardly succeed in making
Sam. BowIes, (who has been a strong repub
llcan since that party was formed) disloya
man because his brother was X. G. C.
The people of this county have known
Sam Bowles for about 80 years, and thew all
speak highly of him. He has grown up with
them, suffered their privations and shared in
their prosperity. He may not be elected TO
the legislature-but he ought to be- He Is
not bigot, on politics, religion, or temper
ance, but is q liberal man on all these sub
jsots, and he ought to be supported by al
who have the interests of their country al
heart.

Major General Thomas w. Sweeney at the
Cleveland Convention of Soldiers and Sal
fOrs

Among the many distinguished men who
attended the Cleveland convention, mono are
are entitled to more credit than Gen. Thomas
w. Sweeney. His name in the future will
be enrolled among the heroes whose yalor and
statesman-like views in the councils of the a.
ton has saved republican liberty. After the
war was oyer he was the fighting leader of
the fenian movement, and by his gallantry in
their cause, endeared himself to every Irish
heart. They love him for devotion to his race
and his sacrifices in their behalf; they love
him because his honor is unimpeacable, and
his principles above price. He will be the
target for the filth OF the radical disunionists,
thev will bespatter him with their dirtinsss.
and their abuse, but these denunciations will
in future be his glory Illinois State Regis.

1t is true, the Hef aid says, that Gen. Harding
voted against the present bounty bill. The error
is ours and hasten to correct 1t. - Quincy
Whtg
This should teach you to be little cautious
how you dispute our statements of facts, and
then you may net get yourself into the hu-
initiating position Of being compelled to &C.
knowledge your own want of Intelligence,
when the record is produced against you. MIR
Harding not only voted against the present
bounty bill but he so voted on the last day
of the session. when it was the only measure
of the kind that could possibly pass that
body, as the bill was the result of compro-
mise Oh the subject of soldiers bounties. be-
tween q joint committee OF conference, COM
posed OF members from each house of con-
gress Mr.. Harding knew. when, on the last
day of the session, he voted against the sol
diers' bounty BILL that no other bounty bill
would be up liz the house during the session
and that if that bill did not pass, no bounty
bill for the soldiers would pass /; and know
ing these facts he deliberately voted No. lie
now psetends he voted against it because it
was not such one as he wanted; but he
perfectly well knew 1t was the only one he
could get, and the only one his party, greatly
in the majority, would give the soldier; and
yet, forsooth he was such friend to the sol
dier that he voted against the ouly bounty
bill his party would give the soldier That
ia rare way, indeed, Of showing friendship
for the soldier We presume the soldiers
will be able to appreciate it. Quincy Her

MR.. BEECHER,s SECOND LETTER.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has written a
second political letter which the radical pa
pers make haste to publish, though they
quite overlooked his first epistle. Mr.. Beech
er says he deems his first letter "soUND IN
ITS VIEWS" and he is not sorry he wrote it,
His second letter Is somewhat critical, when
dealing with the President, but on the great
question, viz: the admission Of the south, it
reafirms the views taken in the Cleveland
letter and is patriotic and unequivocal. Mr..
Beecher says
Either the advantages of Union are fallacious
or the continuous exclusion of the south from
it will breed disorder, make the future reunion
more difficult, and especially subject the freed
men to the very worst conditions of society
which can well exist. No army, no government,
and no earthly power can compel the south to
treat four millions of men justly if the inhabi-
tants, whether rightly or wrongly, regard these
men as the cause, or even the occasion, OF their
unhappy disfranchisement. But no army, or
government, or power will be required when
southern society is restored, occupied and pros
pering in the renewed Union.
Towards the close of his letter Mr.. Beech
or urges the election to congress of men
"who will seek the admission of the reoresnt
states" These are the opinions and desire
of all good conservative union men, and Mr.
Beeoher's reteration of them will crafty al
who regarded his first letter as one of ths
ablest efforts of his mind.

and appropriated the money and put it In
their pockets. Harding pocksted his and is
using it to purchase reelection.
The same congressman, after grabbing this
sum for themselves, then voted the black sol
der $500 for extra bounty, and appropriated
the money to pay 1t.
They also voted the achae soldier $50 in
some cases, in others 800 extra bounty, but
made no appropriation to pay ii.
The black soldiers are drawing their $500
extra bounty The white soldiers must wait
until congress be induced to make an appro
priation for them.
When the black was concerned, the radical
congress made no mistake. 1t was only
when the whites needed its service, that il
was careless, Indifferent, or hadn't time.

and that account favorable to aquatic fowls,
the Dead Duck has not prospered. He was ad-
