Letter. Protesting Against
the Removal Of Sheri-

HIM AND THE PRESI-

Radicals R0ost Lever.
GRANT STOCK GOES DOWN, In
THEIR MARKET.


New YoRK, Aug. 30.-The N. Y. Herald's
special says
The truth in regard to various rumors afoat
lative to a rupture between Grant and the Presi-
dent is that rupture has taken place. that the
two are on most friendly terms and that Grant
has not offered or the President asked him to
sign his office. The general did protest against
the removal of Sheridan. One ground for the
protest being that it was unjust to remove Han
cock to New Orleans while the yellow fever
raging there. He also suggested that he alone
was empowered to control matters in the southern
departments but after lengthy in
teryiew with the President. which was
conducted in most friendly and
impassioned manner, he asked permission to
withdraw his protest, which was granted. The
President in this conversation confessed that
! congress had invested Grant with control of the
southern district but contended that his powers
were necessarily subject to the supervision of the
| supreme executive head. The General, without
venturing to offer any refuting arguments, as
sented to the Presidents views

concerning the settlement of the Alabama caimes
which are on a fair course of progress upon The

volving the cesson Of that territory to the Unit
/ ed States have also been opened by Mr.. Seward,
| and it is believed that he alone can bring them
| to favorable conclusion.
The New York Tribune special says:
| 1t is stated by those who are well
advised a. to the movements at the head
quarters of the army, that Gen. Grant, on
! Tuesday last, addressed note to the Presi-
| dent Withdrawing his letter to the President
with reference to removing Gen. Sheridan
and relieving of Gen. Hancock, and it was
Immediately surrendered by Mr.. Johnson.
| The only correspondence now remaining I'M
| published is Thu firstletter Of Grant upon the
| subject of the removal of Stanton, and
marked private Gen. Grant has no OBJ
jections to its publication, bat at the same
time cannot give it out for such purpose for
the reason that it would be a breach of mill
| tarv etiquette.
Ii now looks though that neither this let
! ter, that written by Grant, on the 27th, will
| be made public, on the subject of assigning GEM
| Hancock to relieve Sheridan, until congress
| meets and calls for them.

The Desmoines Statesman, copying our
notice of this case, says:
Mr.. John Deere. the senior member of
the firm of Deere i Co., Moline, Ill.,, is a
practical mechanic of no ordinary ability and
enterprise, and has devoted thirty years to
the manufacture and perfection of the cele-
brated plows which bear his brand. To
him belongs the credit of importing and
moulding into shape the first hardened steel
plows manufactured in this country. He is
also the first man who succeeded in making
a steel pillow which would scour and keep
uniformly bright in the light rich soil of the
prairie and bottom lands of the west The
large factory is so perfectly arranged and
the different parts SO Systematically con-
strncted, that 1t is almost impossible for an
imperfect one to leave the shop The con-
sequence Of this system of manufacture is a
wide and constantly increasing trade: we'll
informed purchasers considering they have a
warranty in every article made by Deere i
Co. And the consequence unfortunately is,
also, that others, taking advantage of this
well and hard earned reputation, have quit
the manufacture OF patent churns, baby
jumpers, horse rakes, &C., in Moline, and
sought to build up a trade for plows. To
this end, they issued fac Simile circulars to
the trade, numbered their plows, and named
them precisely as Deere & Co. have for
years been IN the habit of doing. Such as,

ing the catalogue through, have duplicated
Deeres mark in appearance if not in exact
turn OF mould board or hardness of STEEL
Deere Il Co. brought an injunction for this
perversion of their trade mark, and this
endeavor to make sales upon their repu-
tation.

Free Speech.

The right of free speech was intertered with in
Chicago last night In the lawful enjoyment of
their rights, some christian gentlemen held IAN
outdoor religious meeting on the West Side, which
was broken up by set of drunken rowdies pre-
tending to be acting in the interests of the liberal,
free-thinking, and anti Sabbatarian Germans
Chicago Journal, Aug 29th.
In the lawful enjoyment of their rights,
some democratic gentlemen invited United
States Senator Douglas to make speech in
Chicago, in 1854, and explain to his con-
stituents his position upon the Nebraska
Bill, and Tle meeting was broken up by a
set of republican rowdies, among whom Was
Lieut.. Gov. Bross and the leading men of
that party in Chicago. Were the Germans
any more wrong than the leading men of the
republican party in Chicago who mobbed
United States senator from their own state,
while speaking to his own constituents
The breaking up or disturbing of the
meeting alluded to by the Journal, on the
evening of the 18th, was a gross outrage,
and those who committed or aided and abet
ted the outrage should be severely punished.
But when we remember that republicans
shut the doors of Fanueil Hall against
Daniel Webster; mobbed Senator Douglas,
in his own town of Chicago; refused George
W. Peasants a chance to speak in Cham
beriin's Hall, in Moline; mobbed newspa-
per offices and prominent men all over the
country, for free speech, when none of them
had violated any law-we say, considering
these things, and that for six years past the
republican party has been a mob party, il
does not become any republican paper tc
lecture mobs in regard to free speech The
record of the republican party is blackened
all over with the record of mobs and murders
in its suppression or attempted suppression
of tree speech and the freedom of the press

THE NATIONAL DEBT.

This week we give to the public, in the
WEEKLY ARGUS, the able speech of Judge
Allen, of this state, upon the subject of our
national debt, national taxes, exemption. of
bonds from taxation, &C., &c. We do not
ask any one to indorse the position he as
sumes, but we ask all to read what he says,
and form such opinions as they believe TO
be for the interest of the great mass Of the
people. The questions are of absorbing
interest. People ara studying how they can
reduce the expenses of the national govern
ment; how they can reduce national taxa
ton and pay off the national debt; how they
can make taxation more equal, and its bur-
dens fall where they belong-on the property
not the labor of the country. Judge Allen
has given his views, and they are worthy of
candid consideration. His high moral char
acter, his large experience in congress, his
high intelligence and his devotion to the
best interests of the people demand that his
views shall be respectfully and candidly con
sidered.

orr COUNTY ELECTION.

The radicals have called county con-
vention. to meet on the 4th of September
next wednesday, to nominate candidates
for treasurer and coroner. These are ali
the officers to be voted for in the state, the
coming fall. According..to party usage, we
suppose it is necessary to go through with
these forms, but it seems to us to be waste
of time and labor, and a fraud upon the peo-
PEG. 1t is well understood that no republic
can dare be candidate unless he gets the
nomination, and it just as well understood
that no democrat can be elected if he is a
candidate. As these are the only offices to
be filed, and as radical nomination, in
this county, is equivalent to an election, we
presume the democrats will not take interest
enough in the matter to hold any convention
but leave the field open to all who wish to
run.
Caucuses are generally monopohzed by
interested parties-not one IN nifty OF the
voters, probably, attend-and yet, the edicts
of their self constituted leaders becomes law
to the masses, and radicals would sooner
violate the constitution of the United States
than think of rebelling against the DEGREES
of their convention. The tyranny of mind
is worse than that of matter, for it makes
the most abjeet slaves of all who acknowl-
edge allegiance to it. But, with all the
evils which have been brought upon the
country by this radical party slavery, and
under which they are grooming, they hug the
tyrant to their bosoms and PROSTATE them.
selves in the dust at his bidding.
We predict that the soldier element which
claims the offices, win be ignored by the
radical convention, and that the people des
ignated by soldier communication in the
Union as the "stay -at-home-cowards" will
rule the roost. If this should prove true
and the democrats should hold no conven
ton, the election would excite no interest
and bring out very few votes, unless some
soldier should have independence enough to
run his own merits. In this event the contest
might become quite interesting.

The Twin County Man.

EDITOR OF THE ARGUS, Dear Sir.-Our
agents have today, fairly commenced visit
ing the farming community in regard to the
county map. Thus far the cities and villages
of your county have given us more encourage
ment than those of Scott county; but we
have some little anxiety about how the far
mers, on whom We most depend, may take
hold of the matter. We would thank you
to notice in your WEEKLY of this week
for the benefit of the farmers,the fact that the
map is bound to be a success, land that we hop
for as liberal encouragement from them as
from the Scott County farmers.
We feel just word, dropped through the
columns of your Weekly, at the present time
would aid..our agents materially in their labor
as they shall go among the people.
Very respectfully,

Poor. SELLING.-A correspondent asks, of
the Chicago Times, an explanation of pool
selling, at horse races, and is answered as
follows:
When two or more horses are entered for
o race, some one of them is favorite that
is, his previous record and condition warrant
confidence in his success. Previous to the
race, pools are sold !; that is, the BOOKSELLER
mentions the horses entered, and solicits a
bid for first choice. Suppose A, B, C, d,
and E are the nominations. The highest
bidder for first choice can take any one of
the five mentioned, as first choice. Second,
third, fourth and fifth choices are disposed
of in the same manner to the highest bidder.
When all are sold, the pool will stand, say
thus; A, the favorite, sells for 500; b,
second choice, $50; C, third choice, $50; D,
fourth choice, $40 /; and L, fifth choice, $40.
There is then $3.50 in the pool. The pur-
chaser,of each horse in the pools receives a
card, upon which is his own name, the name
OF the horse he has bought and the amount
OF the pool IF the horse he has purchased
WINS the race, he receives the 1890, less the
booksellers percentage, 5 per cent. Any
number OF pools can be sold in this manner,
the horses bringing no regular prices, but
selling for as much as they will bring.
1t $3.50 should be paid for Lady Alice in

PIPER.-This notorious forger is now in
Jail in Rutland, Vt. and Mr.. VIM. NJ. Field,
the sheriff of Rutland county, writing to a
lawyer in Davenport, says:
Piper was living in high life in Madison !:
doshy mass; a fast horse; a waiting man; and
plenty of money; boarding at the ''Nilas
House" which is full of fashionable summer
company. This was his manner oflife while
in Vermont. He has been fast liver, liter
ally, if ever there was one, but he has finally
come to grief.
ale is smart man, l am aware, and
probably the greatest rogue of his time now
in the United States, and has managed to
keep clear, up to this time, but l have him
sure, and now they all tell me he will give
me the slip before his trial. That is the con.
clusion / meet with at every turn All ]
can say is never was yet bought or sold
for money, and when am may my right
hand forget its cunning and my tongue

not be my fault.

The Wilmington, North Carolina, Journal,
in giving some practical illustrations of the
operations of the reconstruction acts, says
that three of the best citizens of New Han
over were debarred from registration on the
following grounds: One held the office of
coroner, for few weeks, about forty five
years ago; another served in the same ca
pacity, for only a few weeks, about twenty
years ago; and the third remembered
that, about forty years since, he was consta-
BILE of the town. Just think of the charac.
ter of that legislation which excludes such
men, the best of citizens, from the ballot
box, while it confers upon negroes who can
neither read nor write, and who are ignorant
of the value and workings of our institu-
tions the right to vote

President Johnson has thrown grass at the
disunion radicals long enough, and he will
now let them as well as all military men
know who is the chief executive and COM
mander-in-chief of the army and navy. I'm
pudent letters from his interiors in the army
and all other attempts to encroach upon hi:
great office, either by congress, or by civil
or military officers, will be met and put
down. Radicals now say the congress viii
impeach him as soon as it meets. Wha
for? Because he enforces the laws? We
shall see whether radicalism can do that
and whether it can stand up, under yigor
GUS fight.

President johnson, elected to Office by the
republicans, is maligned aud abused by them
because he win not prostitute his high office
to their base designs, but prefers to act as
the President of the whole people and carry
out, as far as he can, the reconstruction pol
icy of President Lincoln. Even General
Grant is now falling under the lash of Phil
lips, Greeley and others of the leaders OF
that party because he does not recognize the
republican party alone as composing the
people of the United States,

There are hundreds of large, we'll watered stock
farms in the country which the owners value fully
one thousand dollars more than if they were not
thus provided with water. 1t is high time, there
fore, for the great Agricultural Interest of the
country, that the farmers of the northwest should
be made aware of the fact that all the high and
dry praries of the country, by the use of this
cheap and simple device, can be made good stock
farms, and really more valuable than those pos
sessing these natural advantages for water, for
there is waste land, and the water be pro-.
vded directly at the points desired, in farm yards
and pastures.
Where is the farmer, then. that after knowing
he can thus increase the real value of his farm
from $500 TO 81 900, will he content to make a
drudge of himself or employees by pumping wa
ter for stock?
After ten years experience in building and
recting many hundreds of these machines, and
Extensive acquaintance with the various attempts
made within the last thirty years to construct a
self-regulatng Wind Machine, most fully be-
lieve that nothing has been offeied to the
public equal to Halladay's Improved Mill.
They simple in their construction that
any common joiner can erect then and attach a
common farm yard pump. They can be stopped
instantly by means of IA lever on the upright tim
Der supporting the mill and can be arranged
that float will stop the Mil when tho tank is
full, and start themselves again when the water is
used.

pool, and she should win the race, the am
cunt of the winners gain would be the
amount paid for the losing horses IN the
race.
Pool-selling does not interfere with outside
betting.
Pool-selling is merely betting on a single
horse against the other entries, either giving
or taking odds as the reputation of the en-
tries warrants. Your choice is against the
field. If the former wins, you win; if it loses
you lose. -
