The republicans, on nominating Mr.. Lin.
coin, resolved to "bring back the govern
ment to the purity of the fathers" At the
last session of congress the senate "a frac-
ton of the senate only,) took ola knives, at
a cost of $2,322.9O, or about eighteen knives
to each senator, or $45 worth of pen knives
to each. And these virtuous radicals appro-
priated money from the peoples treasury to
purchase for themselves over seren thousand
pairs of scissors, and over two hundred
pairs of kid glores i; over $50 pin cushions !;
nearly 5000 lead pencils nearly 5000
reams of paper about 100000 of envel-
opes and combs, cologne, pomade, toilet
powder, soap, ETC., in profusion. This "loy-
al congress, which turned out democratic
members enough to give it two-thirds ma
jority, so that it could have full sweep at the
treasury and reconstruction" keeps bar.

The Election Difficulty in Richmond.

Mr.. Giimer of Richmond, seems 10 De de
termined to probe to the bottom the lrauds
upon the ballot box practiced in the recent
Virginia elections. Our readers are aware
that he charged upon General Scho6eld an
Illegal and uuwarrantable extension of the
time of holding the elections. To his re-
monstrances the general replied by referring
the whole matter to the arbitrament of the
convention. He also charged Colonel Rose.
who appears to have controlled these cleo
tons, with conduct unbecoming his uniform.
Whereupon General Schofeld demanded
specific allegations to be submitted to a
court martial. Mr.. Gilmer, therefore, sub
mits the following card to the public:
To the People of Richmond
As intend to prefer regular charges and spe-
cihcations against Col. Rose, the superintendent
OF the eectione in this city, desire at once writ
ten statements to me of all such facts, conduct
acts, and declarations of Colonel Rose embraced
or alluded to in my protest.
/ want no rumors, but facts, and these from re-
liable and Trustworthy sources.
| again counsel the utmost forbearance, pru
dence and propriety. The reign of lac is NOT a
an end. JOHN III. GILMER.

A Sharp Rcbuke.

A radical journal in Ohio is anxious to
know what the democrats are going TO do
with the victory. The Chilicothe Adrertis-
er Ia democratic paper) answers by this pun
gent hit at the policy of the radicals in con-
gress
an answer, we will neither hang, impris-
on, mob, or insult them for having an opin-
ion different from our own. The ma ority
in our legislature will not refuse admission
to the members from the reserve because
they represent a section antagonistic to us
in politics. 1t will not, for the purpose of
getting a two-thirds vote, turn enough radi-
Gals out to secure it neither will it appoint

Mrs. Lincolu'S Clothes.
From Jennie June's Fashion Lett,

From Jennie Lunes Fashion Letter.
No one can look at the collection and i'm
agine that the object in exposing them was
to sell them or make a large amount of mon.
ey by their sale. With the exception of the
lace and camers hair shawls, and few odd
pieces of jeweiry, there is nothing that any
lady could wear, or which in its present con-
dition would not be disgrace to a second
hand clothes shop. The dresses, those that
have been made up and worn. are crushed,
dirty, oldfashioued, and most of them made
and trimmed in the worst way. The skirts
are too short for any but very short person,
and the commonest muslins, bareges and
grenadines are made extremely low in the
neck and would not be available for any pur-
pose. There are some brocaded silk skirts
in large heavy patterns which have been
made but worn, but these are unaccOmpan-
led by any waist, while the price upon them
and all the other articles is exhorbitant.

Political Movements of the Radicals.

1t is understood that the uuion republican
congressional committee, which has been
distributing documents and sending speak
ers through the southern states, will, with
out any change in its present organization,
be united with the republican national COM
mittee to conduct the presidential campaign.
Senator Morgan, of New York, is chairman
of the general committee, which consists OF
one member of congress from each state.
General Schenck is chairmen of the execu-
tive committee, with Thomas l.. Tuiloch, or
New Hampshire, as secretary. The com
mittee, will soon begin the printing of cam
paign documents, so as to be ready to open
the canvass Immediately after the nomina-
tons are made.

One of the most significant symp
toms of the great political reac-
ton is the spontaneous uprising
of the workingmen in New York in favor of
the democracy. In cooperating with the
only party that will ever bring back the ex-
penses of the government to something like
the economy of former democratic adminisl
trations, the workingmen evinee correct
understanding of their own best interests
1t is useless to deprecate the burdens and
poor pay of workingmen so long as the or
binary expenses of the federal government
amount to $685., 100000 year, and the
stealing by federal office-holders to as much
more.
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1867-11-07

The state prisoners who were incarcerated
in the Lincoln bastiles during the war with
out warrant, and kept there without trial or
explanation, during the pleasure of Stanton
and other federal officials, are about to form
a permanent organization. One object of
this association will be to procure the repeal
of the indemnity act passed by congress, to
shelter such officials as outraged the person
al rights of citizens, so that actions, both
civil and criminal, may be instituted against
them. 1t is affirmed that every state pris
oner was notified at the time of his imprison-
ment that the employment of counsel would
be considered an aggravation of his case,
and in every instance would subject the par
ty who was bold enough to hazard it to much
longer IMPRISONMENT.

Gov. Seymour, in a late speech at Brook
lyn, New York, reduced the logic of the
Maine Law and coercive morality to an
absurdity, as follows: The convicts in our
state prisons are placed by penal statutes
beyond the reach of temptation. They do
not get drunk, and they are models Of regu-
larity in their habits, and are sober and in.
dustrious. Yet if one of them gets loose and
a house is burned in the neighborhood where
he is seen, this model of coercive motality
this specimen of what the state can do in
the way Of making man moral by pena
statutes, is the first person arrested for the
arson.

SUMNER.

The "classie and scholarly Sumner went
back on his Iowa lecture engagements rath-
er sneakingly-thereby leaving the dear
people thereof entirely in the dark as to
whether they are nation or otherwise. Not
only has he left them in torturous doubts on
this subject, but he has left the Lecture So
cieties out of pocket. The classic and schol.
arly never as much as intimated that he
would like to reimburse these societies for
the expense they had incurred on the strength
of his engagement, but the Davenport Liba-
brary Association having expended some
$50 in advertising his lecture, to be deliyeed
there on the 28th ult. have concluded that az
they are responsible for these expenses, the
bill should be sent to this Scholarly states
man" with request that he send check
for the amount, for the privilege of having
his name used by the lecture committee.

lecture here care statesmen responsible"

Radicals Getting Sober.

The Springfield, Mass, Republican Ia re-
publica" paper seems to think the radical
party has been on long drunk, and that
the late democratic victories have had a So
bering effect on the inebriates. 1t saws:
Senator Howard, of Michigan, wrote a
letter lately in favor of impeachment, which
he was persuaded to withhold from publica-
ton till after the elections on Tuesday. 1t
is likely now to be suppressed altogether
The truth is, that the result of the elections
has had sudden SOLDERING influence, like a
bucket of cold water on the head of a drunk
en- man, and the inclination now will be to
moderate and reasonable councils. The
scheme of Butler and Wade to depose the
President first and impeach him afterwards,
will no more be heard of, and Impeachment
itsel will only be named by the more i'm
pulsive politicians. The scheme of confs-
cation, for reconstructing the governments of
Maryland and Kentucky, and for establish
ing equal suffrage by law of congress in all
the states, have all gone by the board"
The PEORIA RAIiRoAD.-The city of Peo-
ria voted almost unanimously, on Tuesday,
to subscribe 100000 to the stock of the
Peoria and Rock Island Railroad The
county voted also, by 500 majority, to sub
scribe 100000 for the same road. These
subscriptions, with those made along almost
the entire line ofthe road, will secure the
control of the company to citizens of Hi
nois resident on and near the road Thus
railroad spectators will be excluded. The
election of officers for the company takes
place at Bureau Junction on the 18th inst
Before that date, Davenport should make
up its subscription to $4,000, and so secure
