MORE TROUBLE OVER THE RIVER.

The poor RAIDS are in 'peck of trouble"
in Iowa, having quarrel on their hands in
nearly every county in the state. Maj.
Schnitger, of Davenport, whom they nomin-
ated for sheriff, has refused to run as their
candidate, but is running as the peoples
candidate. The poor RAIDS had TO haul down
his name and hunt for somebody to be beat
en- by him. And now, to make their humil-
iation complete, Mr. Rohlfs, whom they NOM
mated for the legislature, comes out with a
card ordering his name off their ticket, and
he too will be elected on the peoples ticket.
We rather pity the poor RAIDS, over in Iowa.
They have had heap of dirt to eat. They
have dried up on the temperance and Sun
day law question, until after election) they
have been snubbed by Grimes, Nat Baker,
and others, on the high protective duty bust
ness !; they have been insulted and spit upon
by men whose coat tails they vainly clutched
after, begging them to be their candidates
and thus save them from utter defeat,-and
all this humiliation they bear--for the sake
OF retaining power anu ONCE ana Wnen
election is over, if the radicals retain power
in Iowa, they viii turn the temperance-Sun-
Acknowledgements screw down upon the peo
pie as tight as ever. They simply "stoop to
| conquer"-but, after election, if they retain
power, the King Hiram tribe will be as ar
rogant as ever. The only safety, for the
people, is to put the radicals out of power
| from governor to township trustees.

COUNTY SURVEYOR

The ARGUS having several times intimated
that NJ A. Gould, ESQ.,, of Moline, our present
county surveyor, and republican candidate for re-
election, is incompetent and inefficient officer
dc, &c.-Rock Island d: Moline Union Sept 27h.
Are the editors ofthe Union really stupid
or do they mean to tell what is not true
The ARGUS has not several times intimated''
&C., &C., nor has the ARGUS erer intimated
that Gould was incompetent and inefic-
lent" The: only reference made to him by
the ARGUS since his nomination, was on
Friday Sept. 18th, and that was because we
were desired to do so by prominent and in
fuential republicans in this city, and we gave
their opinion-not ours. And all we said,
then, was as follows:
COUNTY SURvEYoR.-We hear considerable fault
found, by republicans, with the official acts of
the present county surveyor and it is said that
another will be brought out. II is matter
of possible political significance and if another
man should be announced the contest would be
wholly confined to the qualifications of the men for
surveying not for getting radical votes or abusing
democrats.
1t will be seen by the above that the AR.
Gus has expressed no opinion whatever in
regard to Gould, but has only given, in very
| mild form what his own party
| friends say of him. And that caused him to
parade in the Union, two certificates, one Of
| which considers him good surveyor, eonsid
| ering the practice he has had, and the other
| certi6es that he has good instruments and
does well, for the experience he has Had
| Roth of hasa cartifioatac ORC rottop mn h,
his political friends, for political purpose
| and neither are very valuable.
There is large number of intelligent re
| publicans in this county, who say he is great
ly inferior to c. H. Stoddard, and they want
Stoddard to run, las an independent candidate
1t is q matter of entire Indifference to US
and we have never expressed any opinion
about it.
| Just before the radical county convention
was held Gould told the editor of this paper
one Sunday, in front of Young America sa
loon, that he expected the temperance radi
Gals would throw him overheard, in their coun
! ty convention and nominate Daniel Gordon
and if they should do so Gould declared thai
he would run as an Independent candidate
| against the regular nominee. We told him
| that, in that event, if the democrats had nc
candidate, we would support him. The rad
icals who wished to drop him having eaten
! dirt and nominated him we, of course, shall
| not support him, but will support any re
respectable independent candidate, if the
| democrats have no ticket in the field.

TROUBLE IN THE RADICAL FAMILY.

The radicals of Iowa are having very
unhappy time. The have dropped their
candidate for sheriff in Scott county because
he is going to vote the peoples ticket. They
have several other interesting family feuds
in various parts of the state, where boiling
and scratching will be very prevalent. They
tried to get Senator Grimes and Nat Baker
to take the stump, but both these gentlemen
are free traders, and decline to run the pro.
tective machine. And now the spoilsmen
are trying to drive John A. Kasson from the

The "simon-pure" wing of the radical par
ty in Minnesota held state convention on
Tuesday last, and adopted resolutions pro.
testing against the action of the other wing
of that party in emitting the temperance
aud Sunday planks from the declaration of
issues IN the coming election. The resolu-
tons denounce the platform for betraying
the timidity and cowardice of minority of
the party in seeking to dodge one of the most
vital doctrines of its creed but inasmuch
as the doctrine still remains, albeit not men,
toned in the platform, the majority conclude
that it would be injudicious to render defeat
certain by the nomination of new ticket.
They therefore accept the ticket, reserving
the privilege of splitting upon the platform.

DR.. Blackburn Excluded from Amnesty.

Information was officially presented to the
President and laid before the cabinet on
Tuesday that DIR. Blackburn, notorious dur
ing the war for his effort to introduce the
small pox into the northern states by means
of infected clothing, had made application
to the United States consul at Toronto to be
admitted to the benefits of the recent am
nesty proclamation of the President. 1t
was decided that he was not entitled to such
benefit, because the foul crime with which he
is charged has rendered him amenable to a
criminal prosecution and further, that he
was, during the war, an agent of the rebel
government in foreign country.-NatiOmal

That man must have sunk very low whom
the New York Herald thinks lacking in
dignity. But such is the case of Ben Wade,
whose loud-mouthed harangues are just
now the delight Of the Ohio radicals. The
Herald supports its accusation by extracts
from the senator's speeches, where in truth
it finds abundant material. The republican
party and the Almighty, the democracy and
the devil, Judge Thurman and Judas Iscari-
OF, heaven ana hell, all are jumbled up in
his speeches in profane mixture which
passes for strength of language, but which
is in reality the weakest sort of billingsgate.
