The case Of Quinton vs. Sawyer, occupied
most Of the day, Judge Beck and +. Semple
for plaintiff, and Judge Miller and Van VAL

An amusing incident occurred yesterday.
a we'll known attorney Of our city had sued
certain parties for fees due him for defending
them IN sui, in the L. s. District Court, in
which they had been charged with defraud-
ing the revenue. The attorney was proving
his account, and the Judge enqnired if the
parties were guilty? He declined answering,
on the ground Of professional confidence /:
whereupon Mr.. W., another we'll Known al
to1ney Of our city, suggested, as friend OF
the Court, that the attorney should no, be
entitled to fee for clearing guilty men. lie
was retorted upon BY Nj. c., who said !:

early honr yesterday morning this news
spread through the city-sad announcement
oil the death of one who has been so greatly
identified with Keokuk, and 20 intimately
connected with her financial interests. For

with his family, he left his business and II.
cares and journeyad Eastward, with d. hone
that his health would be benefited by The
change. he came back scarcely any better
than before he started. The insidaous work.
ings of disease still continued, until finally
he became bed-fast invalid, and after lin
gering for weeks on the brink OF the srsve.
his soul took liz fight to the unsried realitie.

1t is apparent that none of the political
grievances inflicted by the past, and present
congress upon the country, can be mitigated
SO long as ten states are without representa-.
tives in the national Legislature. Therefore,
the remedy is not in reliance upon the ,dila
tory action of the Judiciary, in -expositions
of the unjust oppression of the ruling party,
or in remonstranee or complaint; but in
gain ing seats among those who have perpe.
trated the acts which create discomfort
When the house of representatives and SEN
ate are composed of members from every
state, as the constitution requires, then each
section will be present to confront other Sec
tons in vindication OF its rights and to refute
error and calumny at their source. Hence,
it appears to us, there is but one way-(how-
ever obnoxious that way may be to many
to gain the first foothold-any power to exer-
else influence upon the affairs of the govern
ment-and that is for all the states to fill
their seats in congress as soon as possible
When this is done there will be opportunity
to accomplish something more toward re-es
tablishing that constitutional, republican
form of government which recognizes the
division of power ord aimed by the fathers to
protect the individual and the states, and tc
give efficiency to the Federal Union.-Bos

WENDELL PHILLIPgs LECTURE.

Babcock's Hall was from one-half to two
thirds filled last evening to hear Wendell
Phillips's lecture on "the times" At about 8
o'clock he was introduced by j. NJ. Buford,
Esq, president of the society, and he spoke
little over an hour and half
Mr.. Phillips opened by = reference to the
lecture system, which he claimed was super
Tor to any other mode of educating the
grown-up people. According to his idea
there are four great sources ofPublic instruc-
tion-the press, the pulpit, politics and the
lyceum, the latter of which he claimed to be
superior to all. You cannot expect, said he,
that your editor will voluntarily become a

The commander of the military forces ut Fort
Erie has notified the authorities that prominent
engineer connected with the fenian organization
has been taking plans of the frontier below the
Suspension Bridge, and asks for achievements

pension Bridge. 1t is feared that the fenians in
tend another movement.
NEW YORK, April 10.-The n. Y Times special
says: 80
The present session of the senate will undoubt-
eddy terminate Friday evening whether the

leaving that 1t is doubtful if there would be a

listen to his shameful SANDERS of the greatest
men and purest patriots and soldiers in the
land. -
The Young Mems Association of this city
viii make serious mistake if they bring out
any more such lecturers, Or any more politi-
cal harangues, unless they first make ar
rangement for the other side of the question
to be heard. If Ward Beecher is to be SLAM
dered, villified and traduced by this English
fanatic, Ward Beecher should be heard in
his own defense Phillips's lecture was
nothing more than violent radical republi.
can political speech. If the Young Mems
Association expects to maintain ITSELF it
must give both sides hearing, or conine
itself to literary and scientific lectures. 1t is
absurd to talk about iastructing the people
when you give them only one side of a ques-
ton, and sit quietly by and hear your best
men and greatest soldiers villifed and ira
duced by an English hireling, who says
"Seward has lost his brains !" johnson
prevents the nation from reaping the fruits
of victory constitutional amendments are
cheats and swindles - "the President is 6
rebel :" "Ward Beecher has turned his bach
on his own sermons :" "Gen. Grant is nc
soldier, but is a traitor, who has gone dowr
SO per cent. in the estimation of the people.
We don't think Rock Island wants any NOR,
of that sort of lectures, or that the YOUNG
| Mems Association will be benefited by turn
ing itself into radical political recruiting
