Mr.. Allison's appointment for last FRI
day evening and Mr.. Mobiles acceptance
of IN invitation for joint debate brought .
large audience to the lecture room of the
Baptist Church. Mr.. A. opened and clos
ed. The speeches, we are glad to say,
were gentlemanly, and this fact does not
At all disappoint US. Both the candidates
are our personal friends and we should re-
greet to soc them indulge in the slang which
some editors, correspondents and orators
deem essential TO success. We propose no
report Of the remarks made. The friends
of each seem to DO satisfied and it il not
our business to say one was q Cicero, the
other . Cataline or q ninny. We think
Mr.. Allison is not o thief nor is Mr.. No
bic liar. The TINES drops into no such
ruts of argument. Mr.. A. thinks the
southern states should remain out of the
Union till q Congress elected from Is
states shall be pleased to prescribe terms,
without end, for their re-entry for this
thinking, ALLISON demands . return to
Congress. Mr.. Noble thinks the war is
over; tho masses were pardoned Gen.
Grant, BY tho approval Of Mr.. Lincoln,
made Lee and his army free: the Consti-
tntion Of the GATED States expressly re-
qaires that each state shall be represented;
Congress Is disposed to push radical re.
quirements on the south until another rev.
olation will result; repudiation of the
National debt viii follow; anarchy will
succeed and our country will ultimate
politically and socially in Republic:
such as Mexico or one Of the South Amer
ican States which disgrace civilization.
The ability of the two men is no matter
Of dispute. Mr.. Allison Is not the match
IF Mr.. Noble and no one knows it better
than our present member of Congress-
VIC trust Noble will be elected.

ARcUxESrs.-Persons in the interest of
radicalism, can see exactly how powerful
the logic of the faction is exercised by
the West Union correspondents of the Ner.
last week. Such attempts at wit are in
accord with the necessities Of men bent on
political suicide. Wonder if the "gentle-
manly editor of the Ncrs considers such
Jsas-icisms credit to his sewer of weakly
personalities? Perhaps he does but his
acquaintance do not.

An election for municipal officers in the
city OF Alton : heretofore stronghold of
radicalism-took place on Tuesday last.
Political lines were clearly drawn. The
democratic and national union ticket was
elected throughout, by majorites ranging
rom fifty to over two hundred.

A dispatch from Berlin, by the Atlantic
cable, says there is imminent danger of a
renewal Of the war. Austria is acting in
bad faith towards Italy, and Prussia
threatens to draw the sword again.. The
Canadian papers IRE urging that the Unit
ed States government is responsible for
the Fenian trouble, and demand that Eng
land shall declare war if the brotherhood
are not suppressed. ....Advices from South
America state that the allied armies are
still surrounded by the Paraguayans, and
unable either to advance or retreat. The
smallpox had broken out in malignant
form among the allied soldiers. The Para
guayans had been heavily reinforced. A
new liberal ministry had been formed by
the emperor of Brazil. One hundred
delegates were made at a soldiers conven-
ton at Baltimore to attend the Cleveland
convention. ....T The National Union con-
vention of soldiers who served in the war
met at Cleveland on Monday......Thc clos
ing hours of the Fenian congress at Troy
were passed mainly in the discussion Of
political matters. An attempt was made to
give the Fenian vote to the radicals, but it
was defeated. The senate instructed to
demand the return of the arms in the pos
session of the United States authorities,
and in case of refusal to apply directly to
the president.
Saturdays dispatches by the Atlantic
cable state that there is rumor of difficult
ty between Italy and Austria on the sub
ject Of the debt of Venetia. Great Britain
has urged the porte to give On autonomy
to the Cretans but his highncss has refused.
The troubles on the eastern coast of the
Mediterranean are increasing. The Unit
ed States squadron left Russian waters
yesterday. "A Moscow paper extols the
alliance between the United States and
Russia. 1t is reported that the forthcom-
ing circular of Napoleon to the powers of
Europe will be very pacific in its tone......
renee is about being laid. The presiden-
tial party reached Washington on Satur-
day; Secretary Seward having, however,
taken Ii special train and arriving in very
exhausted condition.. the race be-
tween Dexter and Patchin, Jr., the former
won in three straight heats. Time: 1921
and 300. Gen. Rousseau was reelected
to congress on Saturday, from the Louis
Vile district, by an almost unanimous vote.
......N is once more announced that crisis
has been reached in Maximillians affairs.
The fact is said to be indicated by the tone
of the imperial press, and a threatened at
tack upon the capital by the liberals......
The Presidential party arrived at Johns
town on the 18th, where large crowd had
assembled on bridge crossing the old
Pennsylvania canal, and, just as the train
passed over it, it gave way, precipitating
nearly 500 persons into the ditch, some 20
feet below, killing Is, badly injuring 30,
and slightly wounding about loo more.

the latter will accept the grippe Of the for
mer remains to be seen. Judging the flu
ture by the past his chances are small un-
less he discharges the servant, for upon the
precedent set by this servant, he can next
time take $5O, 600, 900 of the masters mon

the master will then be the servant, and
the servant the master.
We are told by most of the members of
congress that they were compelled to vote
for their own self-enrichment to secure the
bounty for the soldiers, but it is unfortu-
nate for this pretense, that no appropriate
on of money was made to pay the pittance
to the soldier, while good care was taken
that the members got their extra pay. 1t
seems to me that the present congress
would have been better employed if they,
instead of increasing their pay, had pro-
posed an amendment to the constitution
prohibiting congress from increasing their
own pay during the term for which they
were elected, had the trainers of the con-
stitution supposed that any congress would
ever be elected, who would be capable of
such an act, they would have guarded
against it, as the people of Iowa guarded
their rights in our constitution.
The speech of Noble was applauded at
nearly every sentence. Col. Van Anda
being called said he fought for 36-star
flag and came home when the war closed,
somewhat radical, but his friends began
to tell him how nice they had things fixed
at the Des Moines Convention, before the
soldiers could get back. They inserted ne
gro voting-that sickened him-they re-
nominated Bill Stone; that disguised him
and he threw the whole thing up. He
asked that conservative men should stand
on the wise and patriotic platform of the
Philadelphia Convention. Great applause.)
Stoneman, of McGregor, was called and
briefly addressed the convention in terse,
patriotic speech. L. L. Huntley excused
himself from speech-making. At the night
or evening session the Court House was
filed; S. S. Ainsworth, Stoneman, Ex-
Senator Hammer Of Clayton, McClintock,
Fellows, Rickel and others did some good
talking. A 'smart'' follow in the crowd
proposed three cheers for Congress, bat he
seemed to he almost alone; cheers for john
son and the Union and groans for the In
mob of radicala were the closing
features of the Convention.

the same ticket, and in so far as relates to
the principles which brought that party

! Again it is urged that the late rebel
states should not be admitted to represent
alton because they will govern the coun-
try in the interest of rebellion, repudiate
the national debt, &c. AS the entire rebel
states constitute less than one third of the

ment assumes that more than two-thirds
Of the country having nearly its entire
wealth, the schools, colleges and other sim
liar institutions Of the country, are in dan
