The Rock Island Il Moline Union is very
fond of traducing the city government of this
city and seeks very unnecessary occasions
for the exercise of its penchant. The other
day it said there is not another city in Hi
nois where an ordinance to compel repairs
on sidewalks is less enforced than in Rock
Island" and spoke of the bad sidewalks as a
Tasting disgrace to the officials who permit
them to exist
The Davenport Gazette copies the SANDER
and rebukes the Union by claiming that Dav-
export is worse than Rock Island in this re-
spect.
The fact is, there is no city in the west
which has good streets or sidewalks as
Rock Island. Ofcourse there are many bad
walks and many places where there are nc
| walks at all. But let any intelligent man
compare the present sidewalks of this city
with the walks we had few years ago, and
he will find a wonderful improvement has
| been made. The city government is doing
all it reasonably can to still further improve
| the walks-and should have credit for efforts
in this direction, instead of being denounced
as "a lasting disgrace

The CAMDEN RoAp.-The great job c

The CAMDEN RoAD.-The great Joo OF
Matchmaking the Camden Road has now
been completed, the work examined and
accepted and the contractors settled WITH
The work done by Reynolds, Saulpaugh q
Co., on their contract, foots up about Sl9,'
900 and the work done by the city, outside
of the contract, some So 900 more, for bank
ing, grading, filling ruts, &C., &c. About
half this sum ofs2l 900 has been paid down,
in cash, without borrowing; and the balance
raised on interest bearing orders, payable in
one, two, three, and FIVE months, nearly all
of which will be paid as soon as the taxes
now due can be collected. 1t is hoped our
citizens will be prompt in paying their taxes,
so that the city government.can meet every
obligation promptly. The City officers are
merely the peoples agents, doing the peo'
pies business, and if the people fail to pay
their taxes when due and the city's debts are
notpaid promptly twill be the fault of those
who neglect to pay their taxes. Mr. Gable
loaned the city $4,000 for few months,
without interest.
The road is now the best five miles of road
to be found in the west, and should be kept
so. Two men should be kept constantly on
the road, all the year round, Except when
the ground is frozen,) filling ruts, banking
up the stone, and keeping every foot of the
road smooth and in good order. The bust
ness of the city will be greatly benefited by
keeping this road in the best possible condi-
ton, every day in the year.
To say nothing of the original purchase of
the bridges, this city has now expended on
the road and in rebuilding the bridges,
some thirty thousand dollars more than it
has received for tolls. But the investment
is good one, as it brings great trade to
this city,and the sum expended will ultimate
ly all be returned, by the tolls collected.
The wisdom of the people, in voting the
balance of the bounty fund into the city
treasury, and Of the city officers in carrying
forward this great improvement, will now be
clearly seem

An EXCITING CHAsE.-Sometime about
the last of August, S. II. Jeffords, gam bier,
better known by the name of "Posey," was
arrested on complaint of Mr.. J. Litsen, for
threatening to shoot him, and was brought
oe'N-e Esq. Marx, who held him to bail in

The GENEsEo MURDER CAsE.-We learn
from the Cambridge Chronicle, that the case
of the People VS.. Richard Williams, indicted
for murder in the killing of Martin Snyder,
his sfep-son, in Geneseo, on the I'D of Feb
ruary' 1866, came up for trial on Wednesday
OF last week, at Cambridge. The case was
opened on Thursday by Vim. Smith, ESQ.,,
for the People, and j. S. Buckles, ESQ, for
the defense. The testimony closed on Mon
day evening, and after argument to the jury
thereon, by Ladd for the people, and Buck
les tor defendant. court adjourned to Tues
day morning. Upon reassembling, Judge
Howe made his plea for the defence, followed
by c. c. Wilson for the People The case
was given to the jury at 3 P. M, on Tuesday,
and at the same evening a verdict of man
slaughter and three years in the penitentiary
was rendered. The case was one of clearly
premeditated murder-but the usual plea of
INSANITY was set mn.

WEsroN.-By reference to our dispatches,
it will be seen that Weston has arrived at
Chicago, and met with an enthusiastic" re-
ception. When called upon for speech. he
proved himself more OF a walkst than a
talkist, and in this, remarkably resembles
Gen. Grant. The report that he had been
proposed as the republican candidate for the
presidency, by the Tribune, is unreliable
He denies that he called this ga white man S
government" His opinion on the tariff
question still remains a mystery, with the
exception that he favors free trade in the
leather line. During his march through
Chicago, leather was very active, but has
since taken decline. He expresses no de-
sire for negro suffrage, but may be watching
events. Old Ben Wade is after him, and
will probably soon give us his opinion on
calves. Cater boots, with inch and a half
soles, are now the prevailing female fashion
in Chicago

THANKSGIVING DAY was but indifferentiy
observed in this city. Some of our business
houses were closed; some made show Of
closing by dropping their curtains and leav'
ing their doors open; others were in tul
blast, the same as any day. Religious ser
vices were held in all the churches-poorly
attended. The day was rai- y and decidedly
dull. There was the usual family dinners
home gatherings, &C., &c. In company
with few friends, we were invited to Mrs
Johnson's and had very sumptuous dinner
and good time. But thanksgiving is a dull
time anyhow Christmas is the day for joy
and the day that everybody celebrates.
